Chapter 26 Flowers from Stan
She had already told Stan many times, no matter what she did, not to leave any marks on her. It was as if his ears were mere decorations, she nearly screwed on Ashley’s hand today because of it!
The questions recorded within the allotted time were sensational and eye-catching. The editorial team would definitely not cut them out.
She needed to take pre-emptive action, making everyone believe that the red mark was from a lipstick shade. When the program aired tomorrow, the audience wouldn’t have to speculate about it when they saw Ashley’s questions.
Ten minutes after she posted on Facebook, the entire comment section exploded.
Everyone was guessing the lipstick shade based on the red mark on Elsa’s neck. A few people hesitated and said it looked like a hic key, but their comments were quickly drowned out.
This move had increased her followers by over a hundred thousand.
The next evening when the program aired, the ratings soared, especially with Elsa’s cute outfit, attracting female fans to search for the same outfit.
People also noticed the newcomer, Ashley, who appeared for the first time on the show, challenging Elsa’s presence and flaunting herself. They went to Mandy’s Facebook and

commented, urging her to come back as soon as possible.
Cherry was also impressed by Elsa’s brilliant move and asked in a teasing manner, “What shade of lipstick did you use to cover up the hic key? Tell me, I want the limited-edition AJ too!”
Elsa, with a face mask on, couldn’t move her mouth, so she grabbed a pillow and threw it at Cherry.
Cherry caught the pillow and asked, “Ashley set a big obstacle for you. Are you planning to let her off like this?”
“Of course…” Elsa barely moved her lips.
Of course not.
In the station, Elsa couldn’t take action against Ashley directly, so she contacted a journalist she had a good relationship with and asked him to investigate Ashley.
Sure enough, this investigation led to explosive news!
Before the negative news about Ashley suppressing Elsa on the show had subsided, the internet exploded with photos of Ashley from her school days as a rebellious girl, smoking and with tattoos.
Ashley was immediately pushed to the top of the trending searches, surrounded by scandals.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Ashley had to apologize on Facebook to the audience.
William, seeing the situation escalate so much, was afraid that the show’s ratings might drop. Thus, he allowed Elsa to host. another show alone and didn’t pair her up with Ashley.

Early in the morning, when Elsa arrived at the company, she saw Morton, showing up in her office.
Elsa furrowed her eyebrows, feeling that Stan was up to no
good. Nonetheless, she greeted Morton with a smile, “Morton, how can I help you?”
“Miss Elsa,” Morton adjusted his glasses and replied, “I
happened to pass by the TV station and brought the flowers from Mr. Stan.”
“Flowers?” Elsa turned her head and noticed a bunch of Green Platycodon on her desk.
Why did Stan also send her Platycodon?
Elsa realized something was off and asked Morton, “I receive a bouquet of Platycodon every morning, and they are all… sent by Mr. Stan?”
“Um, the deliveries were made by couriers in the past few. days,” Morton said, “These are not ordinary Platycodon. They’re from the Catalina series, which are rarely cultivated in our country and not easily accessible to the general public.”
Initially, Elsa thought they were sent by Ryan. She discarded the flowers into the trash bin every morning when she arrived at her office, seeing a new bouquet placed on the table.
She never expected them to be from Stan.
She had never received any flowers from him during their one-year relationship, apart from money, a house and a car as breakup gifts. And now, he was sending her flowers?

“Morton, my contract with Mr. Stan has ended, and I’ve already accepted the breakup gift,” Elsa teased, curling her lips. “Go back and tell Mr. Stan that he doesn’t need to send flowers. It’s enough for me to remain a memory in his heart.”
Elsa’s nonchalance left Morton at a loss for words.
Having accompanied Stan for so many years, he had witnessed numerous women, elites from various industries, trying to seduce his boss. They would go to great lengths to cling to Stan.
But Elsa was different; she ran away faster than a rabbit when they broke up. She wished the world knew nothing about her past relationship with Stan.
After a few seconds of silence, Morton nodded. “I will convey your message to Mr. Stan. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Once Morton left, Elsa looked at the Green Platycadon on her desk, she borrowed a vase from a colleague, unpacked the bouquet, and placed the flowers in the vase.
Her workstation became lively right away.
Just as Elsa finished organizing her documents and wanted to take a break, Cherry hurriedly approached her, slamming a manuscript on her desk.
“Elsa, I took on a task for you.”
“What task?” Elsa opened the file and raised an eyebrow. “An interview with Phil?”
Cherry pulled a chair over and sat beside her. “Yes, the News

Department was trying to schedule an interview with Phil for over a month, and today is the only day he’s available.”
“No, I’m not a financial host. This action would be like stealing someone else’s job,” Elsa declined.
“That’s what you think, but others don’t,” Cherry pouted and retorted, “Originally, the station was going to send Ashley, to clean up her negative image. But then I grab the opportunity from the News Department with your new TV program as a reason, telling them that your new program requires some buzz.”
Cherry glanced at Elsa. “You don’t really want to see Ashley make a comeback, do you?”
“It’s not that…”
“Then dress up now. I’ll check which photographer is available,” Cherry said. “It’s also an opportunity to inquire about the progress with Phil.”
Hearing Cherry’s words, Elsa no longer hesitated. She made an internal call to the director, explaining the plan for an external interview.
The director agreed.
Elsa, accompanied by Cherry and the photographer, headed straight to the golf course.
As the three of them sat in the sightseeing car heading. towards the golf course, from a distance, Elsa noticed a man and a woman standing by the platform, next to a wicker chair.
The man had photography equipment next to him, while the

woman wore a thin black camisole dress, accentuating her attractive figure.
Elsa turned her head and asked Cherry, “Is this the only
interview transcript we have?”
“Yes,” Cherry confirmed, puzzled by Elsa’s question. However, when the sightseeing car arrived at the venue, she saw Ashley standing there and became displeased. “She followed us here.”
Ashley fanned herself with a small fan, waiting by the side. When she saw Elsa and the others, she was momentarily surprised but greeted them. “Elsa, are you here to play golf?”
“No,” Elsa smiled and took out the interview transcript from her bag. “The station asked me to interview Mr. Phil, so I brought the photographer with me.”
Ashley’s smile froze, and her words carried a hint of anger. “Elsa, are you mistaken? I’m the one supposed to interview Mr. Phil. Besides, you are hosting three variety shows. Why do you still compete with the News Department for a job?”
“I have the only interview transcript in my hands. How could I be mistaken?” Elsa retorted. She then asked in return, “Did you transfer to the News Department?”
Ashley snapped her fan shut, unable to maintain her smile any longer, “Elsa, don’t push me too far. I know I overshadowed you during the last show recording, but the station has
already criticized me. I was suspended for a week. What else do you want?”
“You caused that, not me,” Elsa found it amusing. She crossed her arms and stood calmly, saying, “If you think I’m working.
