Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 799: Gossip in Progress

The media outlet ignored him and turned their microphone towards Selena Kensington.

"Is this question convenient for you to answer, Director Kensington?"

Selena glanced at the interaction between the two media outlets, then withdrew her gaze and smiled softly, "It’s convenient."

"As for the new drama, to be honest, I only recently came up with the idea, so I’m still unsure about the final form it will take."

Upon hearing Selena’s response, the media outlet’s eyes lit up, seemingly already anticipating tomorrow’s headline. However, just as he was about to ask the next question, he was pushed aside by a media outlet next to him.

"It’s my turn, good buddy."

"..."

The media outlet pushed aside looked speechlessly at the other media outlet.

The media outlet ignored him, turned around triumphantly, and asked Selena, "Director Kensington’s works have always been high-quality. Naturally, we are looking forward to your new production."

"Let’s not talk about the works for now. It’s rare for Director Kensington to attend the Stardust event today; does this mean there’s something important?"

This was the thought that flickered through the minds of the media as soon as they saw Selena.

What is Selena’s current identity, what status does she hold?

She is the Lady of the Norwood Family, and Stardust has long been handed over to her brother Hugh Kensington, so she generally doesn’t concern herself with Stardust’s affairs.

However, Selena still holds shares in Stardust.

Therefore, unless it’s a major event, it’s unlikely for Selena to appear here.

Because if it were just trivial matters, there would be no need.

So, Selena’s appearance made the media recall the ongoing debate online about whether Stardust or Radiance would come out on top. Could Selena’s attendance at this annual meeting indicate that Stardust plans to annex Radiance?

For a moment, the media’s eyes burned with a fiery gossip flame.

Upon hearing the media outlet’s question, the media next to them couldn’t help but turn their attention over as well.

They looked at Selena with both tension and anticipation.

Afraid she might avoid the question.

But Selena didn’t. Faced with the media outlet’s inquiry, she maintained a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, "What do you think?"

She replied with a question.

The media looked at each other, momentarily puzzled by Selena’s words.

Is she asking them to take sides?

Seeing the media fall into contemplation, Selena leisurely withdrew her gaze.

"If you want an answer, wait for the Stardust annual meeting later; it will provide you with answers. I’m not in good health, so I won’t stay outside for much longer."

Given the burden Selena carries now, standing for long makes her feel tired.

The media understood this and since Selena informed them that the Stardust annual meeting would have the answers they were looking for, they all nodded.

"Thank you, Director Kensington."

"Director Kensington, you’ve worked hard."

Selena slightly nodded towards the media, then turned and walked towards The Frostfell Hotel.

After Selena entered The Frostfell Hotel, the media began contacting their assistants to write up press releases.

Selena’s new drama is also considered a hot topic!

After all, Selena’s previous two works built a considerable fan base, and they helped many of today’s popular stars rise, so this new drama will definitely be more anticipated than the previous ones.

While the media were busy urging others to write press releases, an unexpected figure appeared.

Samuel Dalton appeared at the entrance of The Frostfell Hotel.

His face carried a lazy expression, but it emitted an aura of ’do not approach.’

The media were unfamiliar with this person, but when they saw the emblem on the front of the car from which Samuel Dalton alighted, they were stunned.

In Aethelgard’s high society, besides the Norwood Family, only the four great families have family emblems.

A family emblem not only signifies their prominent status but also informs others quickly of their origin.

This also functions as a form of deterrence.

So, when the media recognized it as a Dalton Family vehicle, they were astounded.

"This... this man is from the Dalton Family?"

"Could it be Samuel Dalton, the recently appointed Family Head of the Dalton Family?!"

"Why is he here? Does it mean..."

"What are you standing around for?! Get ready to write press releases! Inform everyone at the banquet to keep an eye on this man!"

The media’s tone carried urgency, but more, a sense of excitement and enthusiasm.

Because Samuel Dalton rarely appeared in public, and even after inheriting the position of Family Head, he typically attended high-end business banquets.

Those banquets usually prohibited photography.

So, until now, what kind of person the new Dalton Family Head is remains a mystery to the outside world.

Today, this is Stardust’s annual meeting; what does the Dalton Family Head’s presence here signify?

Could it be that Stardust and Radiance are done with backstage battles and have moved out into the open?

The media already sensed the atmosphere of a trending topic and sprang into action.

As Selena entered, she saw many familiar faces.

Worried that Selena might feel uncomfortable sitting with unfamiliar people, Hugh Kensington arranged for all her acquaintances to be seated together.

So Selena soon saw Sloane Hawthorne and Annelise Mayfield sitting together.

There was no other reason; their table was too captivating.

Each person of high visibility, it’s hard not to notice them at all.

Selena smiled as she approached.

"Sis, over here!"

Sloane Hawthorne’s face lifted in a faint smile as she greeted Selena.

Then she looked behind Selena and was somewhat surprised to see Lea Dutton, "Lea Dutton, you’re back?"

Lea Dutton smiled and nodded to her, "Yes. From now on, I’m back as Sis’s assistant."

Sloane Hawthorne said, "Congratulations."

Afterward, Selena sat down, with Hope Norwood and Lea Dutton sitting beside her.

Lea Dutton was talkative, and Annelise Mayfield was also chatty, curious about this unfamiliar person, so under Lea Dutton’s initiative, the two soon began conversing.

As they chatted, Sloane Hawthorne joined in too.

Later, Lea Dutton glanced at Hope Norwood, who sat rigidly upright, and pulled her closer, "Hope, come, let’s chat!"

Hope Norwood’s expression slightly moved, but ultimately, she didn’t join into the conversation as Lea Dutton wished.

However, she kept her ears attentive to their chat’s content.

Seeing this, Selena decided not to interfere with the young ladies’ chatter.

She looked towards Felicity Dalton sitting quietly at the table.

Felicity Dalton was discharged two days ago, and Selena visited her briefly on the day of discharge.

Seeing her in good condition now, Selena felt completely relieved.

Selena asked, "Where did Hugh go? Why did he leave you alone here?"

Felicity Dalton wore a gentle smile, "He went to the back, busy with work; he will return later."
