章 65: Who Is Worth To Be Her Husband?
"Elena, you are such an attractive young lady! It is strange that we practically don't see you on television. Don't you like publicity?" the host asked the girl.
Elena looked at the woman, and for some reason, she felt uncomfortable. This person did not seem to have credibility.
"Hello, Juliette. Good morning audience and TV viewers," Elena said, demonstrating how well-bred she was.
Juliette clenched her fist, and her fingernails dug into her palm. Being an experienced TV host, she was so involved in the process that she forgot the most important thing - first of all, to greet her guest. And now, this little girl has publicly demonstrated her politeness, which caused a clear contrast with the behavior of the host.
Elena, ignoring this lady completely, bowed her head slightly as a sign of greeting, and then calmly answered the question put to her, "I cannot say that I do not like publicity. Rather, I don't strive for it. Even now, I am here completely by accident. Therefore, I ask you to forgive me in advance if my answers turn out to be a little uncertain," the girl said and smiled sweetly.
Her smile and openness evoked a positive response in the audience, and people cheerfully clapped, supporting her with a smile as well.
Anger was growing inside the host. This girl was young, beautiful, rich and self-confident. With this girl on the background, even the common recognition of Juliette as a well-known host seemed like an insignificant achievement.
She grinned to herself and again put on the mask of the benevolent host.
"Elena, as you heard, we began to discuss the personal life issues, as this topic is very interesting to our viewers. How would you feel if your father brought a new woman into the house who would become your mother? Are you ready for this?"
Elena looked at the host at a loss, since the question was not posed in the most polite way.
In all the years that the girl had spent as the daughter of the Lee family, she had never seen her father bring any woman home. Perhaps he had met with someone on the side, but she didn't know for sure either, and she was never interested in that. Therefore, she has never thought of such a question before.
"I think this is my dad's privacy. Any option will suit me, as long as he is happy and healthy," the girl sincerely answered and smiled at her father. Chen squeezed his daughter's hand tightly and smiled back.
"President Lee, you have such a caring daughter. I think you monitor your daughter's potential marriage candidates strictly, right?" the host asked innocently.
"I think Elena is too young to think about marriage. In any case, I will respect my daughter's choice, but her choice should still be worthy," Chen said coldly. Such a course of conversation began to annoy him.
"What do you think, is Daniel worth it, to be your daughter's husband?" Juliette asked next.
Daniel's eyes immediately rounded, 'Why does this lady ask such questions? There is clearly something here,' he thought.
Chen looked at Daniel sternly. They both knew what his answer would be, but telling the truth out loud as it was was not the most appropriate decision.
"As I understand it, Mr. Anderson is not up for a serious relationship, so his candidacy may not even be considered," President Lee said.
'And this Lee is a tough nut, I did not expect his self-control to be so long,' the host thought and went on to the next question,
"Daniel, your brother David is also considered an enviable bachelor. Does he have a girlfriend? Is he dating anyone?"
"I don't have such information," Daniel replied indifferently. This whole situation began to bore him extremely.
"President Lee, do you think which of the Anderson brothers would be more suitable for the role of your son-in-law?"
With each question of the host, the indignation inside Elena began to grow more and more. 'This chicken is obviously poking her nose where she is not asked to,' the girl scolded the host in her thoughts and threw an angry glance at the host woman.
Noticing Elena's disgruntled expression on her face, Juliette grinned. It was exactly what she wanted all this time.
"It's not me who will choose a life partner for Elena. She will decide who she likes and who she doesn't," Chen Lee said.
"Elena, you know David, don't you?" the host asked.
"Yes... I do," the girl replied with a tone of hesitation in her voice.
"And how close do you know each other?"
"We are friends."
"Just friends or very close friends?" The woman did not let herself go, having arranged a blitz interrogation under torture.
"Does it matter?" Elena asked her, not wanting to answer the question.
"Well, we just want to know. How do you comment on this?" The host pointed on the big screen, which was located behind the guests.
Elena and her father turned around, and the girl nearly jumped out of her skin.
On a huge screen for the whole wall were two photos, with stunning clarity. They depicted a man and a woman.
In the right photo, a man firmly hugged the girl, and the time was indicated two A.M. in the morning. In another photo, the same couple was captured in a passionate kiss on the balcony of a house. Even the teeny tiny detail was visible. It was absolutely clear to everyone who these two were.
They were Elena Lee and David Anderson.
