Chapter 55 Part 4 Becky is going on TV - 5

Maybe it's time for you to change jobs Neither Luke nor I spoke a word as we strode down the hallway to the studio.I took a quick glance at him around the corner and noticed that his face looked even more impassive than it had been in the green room. Well, it's nothing, I can be indifferent.I can also be determined without emotion.I held my head firmly and took a bigger step, thinking of myself as Alexis Carrington of Dynasty. "So, did you two know each other before?" Zelda was walking between us. "We know each other," Luke replied curtly. "Purely a work connection," I said equally briefly, "Luke is always pushing all kinds of worthless investments, and I'm always trying to avoid responding."

Zelda gave a knowing laugh, and I saw a flash of anger in Luke's eyes.Forget it, I don't care if he gets mad.In fact, the angrier he was, the happier I was. "So, Luke, Rebecca's article in the Daily World must have pissed you off," Zelda said. "I'm not satisfied at all," Luke said. "He once called me to question me, can you believe it?" I said lightly to Zelda, "Don't dare to face the truth, Luke? Don't dare to face the truth behind the high-sounding lies? You know, maybe You should change jobs." There was a moment of silence, and I turned to look at Luke.He looked so angry that for a split second I thought he was going to punch me.But his face gradually returned to normal, and then he said calmly in a cold voice: "Let's discuss this issue when the broadcast officially starts, how about?"

Zelda raised an eyebrow at me, and I grinned at her.I've never seen Luke so annoyed. "Okay," Zelda said when we came to a sliding door, "here it is. Please turn down the volume when you go in." She reached out and pushed the door open and led us in.At that moment, I was a little shaken.I was shaking and terrified, like Lola in Jurassic Park when she saw a dinosaur for the first time.Because it's all true. The studio of "Morning Coffee" was brightly lit.The lights were shining on the couch, on the houseplants, on everything, and it was the brightest, brightest light I've ever seen in my entire life.

It was almost like a dream.Countless times before, I've sat at home watching all this on TV.And now that I'm about to be a part of it, I really can't believe it. "It's commercial time, and we have a few minutes." Zelda led us across the room, past a pile of sprawling cables. "Rory and Emma are still in the study with Elizabeth." Zelda gestured for us to sit across from the coffee table.I did so carefully.The sofa is a bit harder to sit on than I imagined, a little... different.Everything is different from what I imagined.God, this is so weird! The lights were shining so brightly on my face that I could barely see and didn't even know how to sit anymore.A girl came up and put a megaphone up from under my shirt and pinned it under my collar.I raised my hand awkwardly to push my hair back.Zelda hurried over immediately.

"Try not to move around, Rebecca?" she said. "Don't make any rustling noises." "Okay," I said, "I'm sorry." My voice suddenly sounded wrong, like a ball of cotton stuffed in my throat.I glanced at a nearby camera, only to be horrified to see it was being pointed at me. "Oh, Rebecca," said Zelda, hurrying up again, "one more golden rule—don't stare into the camera, okay? As natural as ever!" "Okay." I replied hoarsely. As natural as usual? Easy to say! "Thirty seconds to go," she said, checking her watch. "Are you ready, Luke?"

"Ready." Luke sat calmly on the sofa, as if he had been sitting there all his life.Typical man.Anything is fine with men, they never mind what they look like. I moved in my seat, tugged at my skirt uneasily, and tugged down my blouse.They used to say that people on TV would look 10 pounds heavier than normal, which meant my legs looked thick.Maybe I should sit differently and cross the legs, or just lay them flat? But maybe that would make them look chunkier. "Hello!" Before I could make a decision, someone suddenly said loudly in my ear.I jerked my head up, feeling my heart beating wildly with excitement.It was Emma March herself! She was hurrying towards the couch in a pink suit, followed by Rory, whose jaw looked squarer than usual.God, it's an amazing feeling to see real celebrities walking towards you.They seem a little less real.

"Hello!" Emma greeted happily, and then sat down on the sofa. "Are you experts in the financial world? My God! I suddenly want to go to the bathroom." She frowned at the light, "Zelda , how long is this program?" "Hello!" Rory shook my hand, "Robetta." "It's not Roberta, it's Rebecca." Emma gave me a sympathetic look. "Honestly, he's beyond repair." She writhed on the couch. "My God, I really have to go." "It's too late now," Rory said. "But it's really bad for your health not to go when you need to go!" Emma frowned anxiously, "Didn't we have a hotline before? That strange girl, she only goes once a day .Dr. James said . . . what did he say?"

"I didn't know!" said Rory cheerfully. "These calls were just passing through my mind. Now I'm going to warn you, Rebecca," he continued, turning to me. But I don't know anything, it's too much brain work for me." Rory grinned at me, and I forced a smile too. "Ten seconds to go," Zelda said loudly from across the studio.My stomach convulsed again with fear.I could hear the "Morning Coffee" theme music blaring through the loudspeakers, which meant the ad was over. "Who starts first?" Emma squinted at the teleprompter. "Oh, it's me."

Then it's time to start.I feel top-heavy.I don't know where to look, I don't know what to say, my legs are shaking, my hands are clasped in my lap, and the light is blinding me.To my left, a camera was pointed at me, but I had to try not to look at it. "Welcome to continue watching!" Emma suddenly said to the camera, "Now, let me ask you, a portable clock and £20,000, which one would you choose?" What? I was shocked to think, this is supposed to be my line, I was going to say these words! "The answer is obvious, isn't it?" Emma went on briskly. "We'll all choose £20,000."

"Of course!" Luo Li interjected with a smile. "But recently, when some investors in Flagstaff Insurance received a letter asking them to transfer funds," Emma's expression suddenly became serious, "these investors didn't know at the time, Had they done so, they would have lost their £20,000 dividend. Rebecca Bloomwood was the reporter who broke the story. Rebecca, do you think this sort of fraud is common?" Suddenly everyone turned their attention to me, waiting for my answer.The camera was pointed at my face, and the entire studio fell silent. 2.5 million people are sitting at home waiting for my answer.

God, I can't breathe. "Do you think investors should be cautious?" Emma reminded again. "Yes." Finally, I said reluctantly, my voice was strange and vague. "Yes, I think they should proceed with caution." "Luke Brandon, you represent Flag Steve Insurance," Emma turned her face away, "do you think..."
