Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 126

Ines heard the news about Kelly quitting her job while she was at work. She shook her head, thinking it was the best decision for Kelly. If Kelly stayed, she'd probably get swallowed up by the office gossip, considering the skeletons in her closet.

Around noon, Ines got a call from Phoebe, asking her to discuss an interview for a magazine. Ines couldn't help but laugh and shake her head, thinking Phoebe was jumping the gun, almost as if she was scared that Ethan and she would back out. It was just last night that they agreed to it, and now she's pushing for the details.

Upon reaching the designated rendezvous, Ines found Phoebe absorbed in her notebook, pen dancing fervently across the page. It was characteristic of her, perpetually armed with a notebook for those unexpected moments of inspiration.

Phoebe was so focused that she didn't even notice Ines. Ines knocked on the table in front of Phoebe and jokingly said, "Hey, boss lady, your interviewee has arrived."

Phoebe responded with a 'do not disturb' hand signal, not even lifting her head from her notebook.

Ines had no choice but to sit across from her and order a drink. About half an hour later, Phoebe finally looked up, letting out a long sigh, "Alright, I've got the questions sorted out."

Ines jokingly asked, "Phoebe, is your magazine on the brink of bankruptcy or something, for you to be this anxious?"

Phoebe capped her pen, "I'm interviewing Ethan, many girls’ prince charming in A City. Time is of the essence, I have to buckle down."

"Oh," Phoebe gave Ines a flattering look, "Ms. Galeana, please forgive me for something."

Ines had a bad feeling about this, "What did you do?"

"Humph, it's not really something bad."

"C'mon, Phoebe, cut the chase and spill the beans," Ines said.

"As you're aware, our magazine and the TV station are sibling entities, both falling under the umbrella of Kaleidoscope Publishing. Last night, I mentioned to the editor-in-chief about the prospect of you two featuring in our magazine. Deeming it significant, they relayed the matter to the upper management. This spurred an urgent meeting, resulting in a new strategy. The executives felt that confining your appearance to our magazine, given its restricted readership, would not fully capitalize on your influence. Consequently, they decided to include a television interview in the plan as well," Phoebe expounded.

"A TV interview? You mean we have to be on TV?" Ines frowned.

Phoebe nodded enthusiastically, snapping her fingers, "Exactly, Izzy, sharp as always."

Ines gave her a look, "Don't butter me up." It seemed like she was going to do something she didn't like.

"Haha, so what do you think?" Phoebe was unsure about Ines's reaction, not knowing if she agreed or disagreed.
