Chapter: 174
She was a new agent, so no one wanted to talk to the fresh blood, but it didn't bother her. She was happy to watch the screen and the program unfold quietly.
She was getting more and more anxious for Sarah. This debut was crucial for her. Her likability and impression on the audience depended on how this interview and her first performance went.
Soon it was Sarah's cue to go on stage. She was born with a good physique and was naturally photogenic, and despite being in her early thirties, she seemed to have aged like fine wine. She looked gorgeous in a long, graceful dress decorated with fluffy white feathers that seemed to float with her elegant movements.
The host grinned at her widely and asked how she felt on stage.
Sarah smiled beautifully at the camera, lifting her face confidently and answering the question.
However, suddenly, the host aimed a sharp question at her.
"So, uh, you must be quite devastated about your divorce. Can you tell us about that?"
Sarah's smile froze. The deliberate question seemed to have hit a raw nerve.
Ariana gaped at the screen in shock, quickly springing to her feet. She hurried to Josh, who was watching the program pensively, and questioned him in frustration, "You changed the questions? Why? We agreed to have no questions about her personal life!"
Josh impatiently pulled off his headset and gazed at her pointedly.
"Sarah hasn't had any work in five years. Nothing interesting happened to her. What else could we ask about other than her personal life?"
Ariana's hands curled into tight fists, and she nearly choked in anger. She opened her mouth to protest, but Josh impatiently dismissed her with a wave of his hand.
"Go away. You're disturbing the shooting. Why are you making such a fuss? It's just an interview. She's been in this show business, so she should know what it's like. There's no running away from questions about private life."
Ariana pressed her lips together tightly. She had to suppress her frustrations for now. She had no choice but to watch and hope.
Fortunately, Sarah was once a superstar and knew exactly how to react. When she was faced with the host's trap, she handled the problem with great aplomb. She smiled through it, and no one could find fault with her elegance.
Josh could not hide his frown—he seemed rather unhappy about it.
He raised his hand silently and gestured at the host from behind the camera.
The host caught sight of him and understood immediately. He quickly closed off the interview.
Ariana had caught this, too, and knew exactly what was going on.
But she had to withhold her fury. After all, the camera was still rolling, and there were many notable people around. If she caused a scene, it would only get Sarah into trouble.
