Chapter 26 Sophistry
Logan looked at her calmly and smiled when he heard what she said. He said, “OK.”
His calm smile seemed to cast magic and made Elena distracted. Elena quickly came back to her senses and unnaturally cleared her throat. "Mr. Brown, I heard that you went to H City alone and started your own business since you were twenty years old. Then you had worked hard for almost ten years before you founded KL Group. Do you have any successful practice that could be shared with us?"
The interview questions were prepared by Sophia earlier, and luckily it wasn't wiped off, so that she could use it.
"Talent." Logan said conceitedly. It was obviously a pretentious word, but nothing that came out of his mouth was unconvincing. In fact, he did have a talent that no one could deny.
Sophia felt excited again and continued their conversation, "By the way, Mr. Brown, you’ve just got married, but no one knows the identity of your wife except for the people attending the wedding. Could you tell us a little about your wife?"
As soon as she said that, she felt that he looked at her with a meaningful gaze. Elena subconsciously stiffened her back, not daring to look at him.
"She's good." Logan pursed his lips and smiled, "She is probably my most precious treasure in the world, so I don't want to share her information with anyone."
"Is that why you don't disclose her identity?"
"Yes. She has a life of her own and I don't want it to be affected." Logan said it with aplomb, but Elena knew that he had kept his promise. He did protect her well. She looked up and they made sweet eye contact immediately.
Jacob couldn't help but cover his face. He thought that Mr. Brown had expressed his affection so obviously that he was getting goosebumps.
The interview went well, and he answered all Elena’s questions carefully. Besides, he even answered some tough questions cleverly and appropriately.
"Then thank you for your cooperation today, Mr. Brown. Goodbye." Elena stood up and reached out her hand, and Logan held her hand slightly. His hand was warm while her hand was cool. The handshake seemed just perfect.
Sophia felt weak because of excitement and had to be supported by Elena, "Oh my God! I never expected I could get so close to my idol and even managed to have a normal conversation with him!"
Elena laughed out softly, "You're a professional."
"That's for sure. After all, I am..." Sophia indulged in self-glorification, and before she finished saying, she suddenly thought of something important and screamed, "Ah! I forgot to ask my idol for an autograph!"
Elena was suddenly relieved because she realized that she was not the only one who was nervous.
When they were thinking about the time they spent with Logan, they heard a rhythmed sound of stilettos on the ground behind them more and more clearly. They turned around and saw Aria in front of them reaching out her hand. She said, "Where's the rough draft of the interview and the recording?"
Sophia took two steps back warily and said, "What are you going to do?"
Aria sneered, "Even if I gave up this opportunity to you, I’ll never surrender the result to you."
"Surrender? What do you mean? Mr. Brown came over just to find Elena!"
“What?” There was an angry expression showing on Aria's face, and she sneered, "Fine. If you don’t give it to me, I'll tell your editor-in-chief!"
"Go ahead! It's better to make it clear that this time Mr. Brown's coming has nothing to do with your group. Obviously it was Elena who made it. You’ve only made the handover unintentionally!"
"Stop it!" Their quarrel instantly made the staff gather around, and people of group one stood by Aria. Someone said, "What's going on? It was our group leader Miss. Aria who contacted the top brass of KL Group so that Logan accepted the interview, wasn’t it? You are so shameless to say it was your efforts."
Sophia heard Logan's words clearly just now, so she said angrily with her eyes wide open, "Nonsense. It's obviously Elena who..."
"You are kidding me. How could you group two be so shameless? You even dare to take credit for such an achievement. Who do you think you are?" The members of group one shouted and sneered.
Elena frowned and pulled Sophia. She said, "Then how do you explain your group leader Miss. Aria made great efforts to ask for us to do the interview? If she had got the opportunity herself, she could have just finished the interview instead of turning to group two for help."
"Well..." Some people of group one hesitated for a moment, but they soon justified again, "Because our leader is nice and wants to give you newcomers an opportunity!"
"In this case, I remember that there is also a newcomer in your group. Right?" Elena said calmly.
Aria became furious and said, "You mean you won’t give me the interview draft, will you?"
"That’s what our group two deserved!" Sophia said loudly. She also became a little angry.
Coral heard the argument and come out of her office. She asked, "Miss Aria, what are you doing?"
Aria was stunned for a while, and then someone told Coral what they were talking about. Coral was experienced and instantly knew what Aria was thinking about. So she said calmly, "Now Mr. Brown should not be far away. If you find him and ask, you will be clear who made this interview happen. Right?"
The members of group one realized that Coral did not stand by them, so they subconsciously looked at Aria, who stiffened her back, trying desperately to maintain all her pride at this moment. Aria said, "We should not trouble Mr. Brown with such a little matter. He would think our magazine incapable, and sneer that we would compete with each other for such a simple interview!"
Coral laughed, "So you mean..."
"Let's forget about it this time, but next time, I won't let you go!" Aria did not dare to continue arguing with them because she was afraid of revealing her fault in front of her subordinates, so she hurriedly said that and left gloomily.
Coral exhaled lightly and asked them, "Is everything okay?"
Sophia and Elena nodded their heads and said, "Fine."
Coral glanced at Aria’s back with a sneer on her face. She said, "No wonder she would be so kind to give us a chance. It turned out Mr. Brown just ignored her!"
"Yeah! But it's thanks to Elena!" Sophia nodded immediately, not forgetting to give her credit.
Elena smiled and said, "Never mind. Maybe I've called Mr. Brown so many times that I left an impression on him."
Coral gave her a suspicious look and quickly hid her feeling. She didn’t buy it. But she was satisfied with group two who had successively succeeded in the interview of Daisy and Logan.
Instead, group one that was going to laugh at group two accomplished nothing. Coral thought that they would not dare to ride the high horse in front of James next time.
Because of Logan’s interview, Coral was very happy, so she gave Sophia and Elena a day off to go back and rest and allowed them to do the report on this interview tomorrow.
Elena could not wait to take out her phone and call Logan after coming out of the magazine office, and to her surprise, he said, "I'm nearby. I’ll pick you up now."
"Ah...OK!"
Logan came quickly. Jacob got out and pulled the door open for her. Elena could not help but ask them, "You stayed here all the time, didn’t you?" Or how could you come so quickly?
Jacob was driving. When he heard that, he cleared his throat with a cough. His behavior immediately caused Logan’s cold glance at him.
"No. you're thinking too much." He said with a denial.
"OK." Elena nodded and stopped speculating. When she thought of the twisted and angry face of Aria today, she could not help but smile. She said, "Thank you for the interview."
"No need. That's what I promised you in the first place." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
It was a quiet ride back because no one spoke after that. Logan found Elena adorable when she leaned back in her seat sleepily with her head nodding. Seeing that, Jacob also slowed down the car, trying not to wake her up.
When they arrived the mansion, Logan touched Elena’s face with his warm hand. Her face was reddish because of the heating in the car. He said, "Elena, here we are."
Elena subconsciously frowned, but did not wake up.
"Sir, she..." Jacob pulled up and felt embarrassed.
