Despite knowing that Samantha was retaliating against him on purpose, he could not just tell her to leave like before. After all, she was the anchor that Selby wanted to do the interview with, and the general manager had even personally instructed him to do a good job.
At that moment, he realized that he had been playing into Samantha’s hand ever since the meeting that morning. She had calculated her every step and had already expected such a result.
He had really underestimated her before.
His initial impression of her was that she relied on her good looks and husband to join Lychee TV, but…
Carl pursed his lips tightly. He had no choice but to lower his ego even if that was the last thing he wanted to do.
“I...” His lips trembled fiercely as his mouth opened and closed a couple of times. Finally, he uttered a few words as if he was being choked. “I’m begging you now. Can you do the interview?”
Samantha turned around and looked at Carl.
After staring for a few seconds, she said, “Okay. I’ll do the interview.”
Carl was stunned once more.
He was already prepared for the possibility that she would make things difficult for him and hardly expected her to agree so easily when he really did beg her.
Did she still have any intention of playing tricks?
His guard was up as he looked at her warily.
Samantha knew what Carl was thinking and allowed him to look at her without avoiding his gaze. She continued and said, “Mr. Lewin, I joined Lychee TV to realize my dreams and ambitions. All I want is to work hard towards my goal.”
“If you treat me fairly, just like you do to your other subordinates, we can always interact in a peaceful manner. But if you treat me unfairly as if I’m some kind of imaginary enemy, I won’t let myself be bullied.”
It was inevitable for her to deal with a bunch of different personas once she entered the workplace. Samantha was not looking to make enemies out of her colleagues for no reason, not unless the person was willfully targeting her.
She simply wanted to use that incident to tell Carl that she would not take the initiative to provoke others. However, that did not mean she was a pushover who would let herself be trampled on.
Carl looked at her in surprise because he did not foresee that she would make such a remark.
Samantha gave him a nod and turned around to walk out of the office.
Carl still could not snap out of it even after she had completely disappeared from his sight. It took him some time before he could carefully digest Samantha’s words, and a hint of thoughtfulness appeared in his eyes.
Samantha…seemed to be a much better person than Harmony was.
He finally grew to understand why Selby had insisted on her to do the exclusive interview.
Samantha was not someone to be underestimated.
…
Samantha returned to her work station and switched off the computer game. She opened a new document and started writing a manuscript for the interview.
Harmony had just returned after making some coffee and caught a glimpse of Samantha’s computer screen. An uncontrollable rage surfaced from the bottom of her eyes and she wanted nothing more than to pour the coffee on Samantha’s head.
Reason kept her emotions under control, although she could not help but mock, “You’re not going to go far if all you have going are those cheap tricks!”
Samantha’s hand stopped typing.
She narrowed her eyes at Harmony, curled her lips into a smile, and replied very gently, “You seem to have a thorough understanding of your own shortcomings. There might still be hope for you.”
She lowered her gaze and thought for a moment before adding with a smile, “Would you like me to help you intercede with Mr. Lewin? I can let you tag along with me during the interview so you can play the supporting role and learn a thing or two while you’re at it.”
She responded with the same lines Harmony used to mock her previously.
Those repeated blows from Samantha left Harmony feeling lightheaded due to the intense anger and she was on the verge of collapsing.
A sway of her hand caused her cup of coffee to spill all over her clothes, for she had not been able to hold it firmly enough.
Harmony let out a scream. “AHHH—”
Samantha glanced at her from head to toe and smiled even more resplendently. ‘That’s karma for you!’
Harmony once again drew everyone’s attention and felt so ashamed that she rushed out of the office lobby.
…
Samantha met Selby the next afternoon to do the exclusive interview.
The interview ended smoothly and Samantha got up to shake hands with the professor.
Samantha smiled and said, “Thank you for accepting Lychee TV to do an interview with you, Professor Cornell. I’ll report the truth as you have said to the public.”
Selby pushed the bridge of his spectacles and smiled in return. “I trust that you will do your best and I look forward to your news report.”
After leaving the university, Samantha returned to Lychee TV and went to her desk. She went through the entirety of the interview and duly transformed it into a manuscript.
She was completely focused on writing that she did not notice the passage of time. It was already dark by the time she was done.
Everyone in the office had gone home and only her table light was still on.
Samantha looked at the time at the top right corner of the computer. It was unknowingly already almost ten, which explained why there was no one around.
After saving the document she typed and switching off her computer, she grabbed her bag and got up to leave.
The elevator door shut once she went in. As soon as the elevator made its way down, a shadowy figure appeared in the office lobby and walked towards Samantha’s workstation.
…
It was completely dark at the entrance when she walked out of Lychee TV’s building. There were no people or vehicles around at night because the area was located in a commercial district.
Samantha requested a ride on her e-hailing app but no one seemed to accept her request even after she had waited for almost ten minutes.
The wind was a little cold at night and Samantha immediately folded her arms as it blew over.
A car then drove over out of the blue and stopped in front of her.
Samantha was confused. Why would a car stop in front of her when no one had accepted her ride request?
The car window then lowered slowly to reveal a man’s handsome, godlike face. His bottomless eyes were staring right into her soul and there was a naughty little smirk on his lips. He opened his mouth and asked in a low and sultry voice, “Hey there, beautiful. Wanna come home with this stud?”
Samantha was speechless.
Words and actions like that were beyond nauseating, but they were inexplicably alluring when Timothy was the one who did it.
She was surprised that he would come pick her up. Samantha did away with her stand-offish character and immediately hopped in after opening the door to the front passenger seat.
She then said to Timothy, “You can start driving now, Handsome. I’ve already fastened my seat belt!”
Timothy glanced at her and freed up his hand to squeeze her cheek. He whispered, “Could you speak a little more decently? Don’t go seducing me.”
Samantha was speechless and stared at him unhappily. “When did I say anything indecent? The only reason you always think I’m seducing you is because your mind is filled with dirty thoughts.”
Timothy’s thin lips trembled.
“Filled with dirty thoughts? More like filled with thoughts of you. I like you so much that my heart resonates whenever I see you or hear you speak.”
In the end, he did not say anything else and merely rubbed her hair gently before driving off.
A few minutes into the drive, Samantha suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Timothy a question.
