Chapter 314:
Meredith chuckled. “Why not? Everyone indulges in a little gossip. Let’s enjoy the moment p>
Helena’s jaw dropped further. She had never anticipated this lighter side of Meredith—her usually unyielding supervisor.
For so long, Helena had wanted to vent about Eleanino. With Meredith showing a more approachable side, Helena seized the opportunity to discuss Eleanino’s actions after Alden’s memory loss.
“Eleanino may appear formidable in the corporate arena, but who would have guessed her rivalry extended to personal vendettas! No wonder she dropped so many cringe-worthy soundbites during your interview,” Meredith replied, her brows knitting together as she empathized with Helena’s grievances.
Helena’s perception of Meredith shifted as she noticed a newfound warmth in her expression. Meredith appeared slightly sheepish under Helena’s scrutiny. She waved off her discomfort, explaining, “I’ve always maintained a stern demeanor to keep the team focused, ensuring they prioritize integrity over sensationalism. Now that you’ve shown your dedication, there’s no need for such pretenses between us p>
Their eyes met, and a mutual, unspoken smile passed between them. This moment deepened Helena’s appreciation for both Genie TV and Meredith’s leadership.
In stark contrast to the competitive and short-term focus at Nexus TV, Helena felt a profound sense of belonging at Genie TV, recognizing it as a much more suitable environment.
Alden’s relentless drive in the business realm remained unaffected by the emotional upheavals he was experiencing. The highly anticipated grand unveiling of Star Wish Investments’ latest shopping mall was just days away. The ribbon-cutting ceremony promised to be a lavish spectacle, with an invitation extended to all major local news outlets in Cheson.
Meredith, aware of Helena’s connection to Alden, chose her to represent Genie TV. At Helena’s suggestion, Dominick was assigned as her partner. On the morning of the event, the two headed out together, ready to cover every moment.
Dominick seized the opportunity to tease Helena. “Helena, it seems you’re on the fast track to becoming a news anchor, especially after your last interview made waves p>
Alone with him, Helena felt no need for restraint. “You’re the last person I need to remind—my scoop with Alden came purely through who I know, not what I know p>
𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁: 𝗀⍺𝗅☼𝗇𝗈☼ν𝖊☼𝗅𝘀☼ⅽ𝗈☼𝗆
Dominick quickly responded, “Certainly, connections played a role, but it was your sharp insight, compelling writing, and keen journalistic instincts that really made the interview a success. And remember, leveraging connections is a skill in itself—don’t underestimate your own talent p>
Their camaraderie was evident as they bantered and chuckled together on their way to the event.
The venue buzzed with excitement. The ceremony was set in front of a massive screen on the second floor, while a sea of reporters clustered in the lobby below, cameras poised and ready.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony drew a mix of the moment’s hottest celebrities and esteemed local business magnates. Representing Star Wish Investments was its charismatic vice president, Eleanino.
