Chapter 170 - We have been together for two years (1/2)
For the whole day, the news about the triangle love between Jeremy, Ryn and Jennifer being stoked like fire by the reporters. It even being discussed openly in the very famous entertainment talk show, Hot & Spicy Ginger. The very guest for the show was Jennifer herself and she came with paled face, showing that she cried the night before. For viewers, it immediately showed how heartbroken this singer was when she saw her boyfriend with another woman. Of course some of them, Jeremy's fans especially, snorted and pointed out about the media release from Jeremy saying that Jennifer and him have no romantic relationship at all.
”Welcome to the show, Miss Jennifer Lin,” Lolita, one of the duo hosts welcomed the woman. Her eyes sparkled at the thought of everyone was watching the show. The rating would be so high. Oh, if only Jeremy would join them too. It would be better.
”Thank you for having me here,” Jennifer's voice was low, even the microphone almost could not catch it.
”About yesterday's video which was caught by a netizen...” Linda, the other duo asked once they were done exchanging pleasantries. She was the 'bad girl' of the duo, the one shooting 'bad' questions over 'bad' questions, driving the guests nuts with her 'spicy' provocatives.
Jennifer's paled face turned even paler. The handkerchief she was holding almost tearing off with how her hands kept pulling it unconsciously.
Of course, the camera caught all that clearly.
”I heard that it happened in a hospital. Now, why would you, as a very famous singer, actually did that in a very public place?” Linda stared at Jennifer without blink.
”I...”
”Now, now, Linda, do not start making our guest scared,” Lolita chuckled and leaned forward to pat Jennifer's hand comfortably, ”Please excuse our Linda, she's quite straight-forward today.”
Jennifer managed to nod weakly. She ran her eyes from Linda and tried to look calm.
”Would you like some snacks?” Lolita asked, placing a plate of chocolate cookies on the coffee table. Of course, the cookies were one of the sponsors of this program, along with the drink she put there as well.
The camera zoomed straight to both the cookies and drinks. The viewers were used with this clear show of promotions so they just ignored it. Even if they were to complain, more companies actually want to sponsor the program. Despite the 'cheap' promotions, so many people watched this program to know the latest scandals and news about the entertainment world.
”Are you feeling better now, Jennifer?” Lolita asked gently after Jennifer sipped the drink.
”Yes. I'm feeling ok now.”
”Good...” Lolita cooed and glanced at her partner with a wink.
Linda huffed a bit. She gave the camera a look and cleared her throat.
”We all have watched the video a netizen posted in the Galaxy last night. It was... mind-boggling,” Linda started calmly.
The camera focussed on Jennifer's face, catching all the winch, the frown, the gasp, everything on her face.
”Jennifer, you are a well-known singer. You are popular not only because of your angelic voice but you are also famous for always help others in need. Every month we can see you in a charity event and holding a charity event for old folk homes, for disabled people and the orphanage,” Lolita continued.
”Thank you,” Jennifer whispered, smiling.
”That is why we are so shocked to see the video. Can we watch it now?” Linda demanded, pointing at the screen behind.
The camera focussed on the display. The shoot was cut to Jennifer screamed angrily and Jeremy pulling Ryn away.
Once it finished, Lolita and Linda looked at Jennifer with a smile on their face.
Jennifer hid a smirk and gave them a worried look. She even gulped nervously.
”Why, Jennifer, why?” Linda asked, shaking her head, ”Why are you acting that way?”
”I... I was sad at that time. I... you know... Jeremy and I are... for my sake, we keep our relationship in secret...” Jennifer paused to dab a tear.
”You mean you and Jeremy are in a relationship and you both keep it in secret? Why? Why you want to hide your relationship?” Linda asked question on top of question.
Jennifer gasped as she covered her mouth.
Lolita and Linda leaned forward. Their eyes shone brightly.
”Jennifer?”
”Are you just confessing that you are in a relationship with Jeremy?”
Jennifer quickly took the glass of drink and drank it hurried. To others, she looked like she was trying to hide behind the drink.
”Would you like more drink?” Lolita asked, taking another bottle of Cola and uncapped it.
Jennifer just gave a sheepish look and handed the empty glass at Lolita. Lolita poured the drink with a knowing smile. She handed back the drink to Jennifer.
”Are you ready to answer the question?” Lolita asked gently.
Jennifer gave a nervous look. She put the glass down and cleared her throat.
”Actually...” she paused. Her eyes looked around nervously.
”Yes?”
”Jeremy and I... we started our relationship officially... two years ago...” Jennifer blushed shyly.
”Two years? Wow...” Lolita gasped.
”Two years... hmm...” Linda narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Jennifer. ”If what you said is true, why do you hide it? Is there a reason behind it? A scandal?”
”Actually... Jeremy is worried that if we expose our relationship two years ago, it will make my fans angry,” Jennifer confessed slowly.
”But two years ago there is no rumour about both of you. If I remember it correctly, you only shared a show together, that one show. And you two never appeared together,” Lolita shook her head in puzzled.
