Upon hearing her words, many surprised gazes were directed at her.
Dare to say that out loud?
Well, these reporters’ gossipy instincts are particularly keen, able to pinpoint what the audience cares about the most.
It’s not easy indeed.
Upon hearing these words, Evelyn Curtis remained calm. She smiled at the inquiring reporter, her voice clearly reaching out: "Of course, being able to play the female lead in this, besides Mr. Carter’s fond treatment of me, I also have someone else to thank."
The venue suddenly simmered with excitement. One reporter excitedly passed a microphone, saying: "This person must be close to you, Miss Curtis, could you tell us more?"
"He is the best man I have ever met. I owe him a great favor."
When Evelyn Curtis said these words, there were stars in her eyes.
The reporter continued: "Miss Curtis, we are very interested in this favor. Could you call him right now?"
Call him? Fine, she was just wondering about how to announce her relationship with Justin Battleson to the world.
She glanced over at the director and he nodded, signaling that it was fine.
This could be an opportunity to promote their new show.
Evelyn Curtis chuckled lightly: "That sounds good. I’ll take this chance to say thanks to him."
Immediately after, she took out her phone and dialed a number without any hesitation.
After a few seconds of ringing, the call was answered. She switched to loudspeaker and a slightly cold male voice could be heard on the other end.
"Justin... Are you free now?"
On the other end of the phone, Justin Battleson took off his overcoat and threw it on his couch. He loosened his tie, suppressing the irritation in his voice.
Because Justin Battleson was the investor for this show, Evelyn Curtis was able to make her smooth entry into the entertainment industry, starting ahead of the others.
"I have something to tell you."
Evelyn Curtis smiled, facing the camera, her expression slightly shy. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveI★Fire.net
Justin Battleson lightly rubbed his brow. Perhaps due to tiredness, his manner of speaking became less cold but unintentionally gentle.
This made people at the scene feel that the conversation was ambiguous.
Truthfully, Justin Battleson didn’t particularly like her, but due to an incident, he did give her enough financial and resource support.
After all, a woman’s first time is incredibly important, and that night was truly tough for her.
"It was fate that brought us together. I’m really grateful for your recognition and help along the way, Justin, thank you."
As her words fell, Justin Battleson felt no emotion.
He had heard such formal words too many times.
However, when he heard the echo and thought of the fact that he had invested in the TV show having its launch today, he guessed it was all for show effects.
Mr. Carter really had guts, knowing full well the investor was him, yet allowing a reporter to be so bold.
Still, Justin Battleson did not lose face with her.
"There is no need for thanks between us."
After hanging up the phone, the audience fell into silence.
There was no need for more words, Justin’s last sentence explained everything.
One of the reporters, taken aback: "Miss Curtis, the Justin you mentioned is... "
Who wouldn’t know Justin Battleson of Battleson Group, known for his firm and decisive actions?
If it’s really him, doesn’t this make Evelyn Curtis’s background incredibly significant?
Noises of discussion and disbelief spread across the audience. The voices were soft, yet Evelyn Curtis on stage could still hear them.
Let them guess. This is exactly the effect she wanted.
The more heated the discussion, the higher her popularity and discussion value.
Shortly after, Evelyn Curtis smiled gracefully, saying, "It’s personal, so I’ll keep it a secret."
