Facing the unexpected questions, Harmony tried to maintain a smile while thinking of a plan in her mind. She hadnât anticipated the TV station would prepare two sets of scripts and wondered if this was a play to manipulate celebrities for increased viewership.
âWe are just friends.â
âWell, what is your opinion of being on the red carpet, Miss Mayo? Do you think such behavior has ethical implications?â The host continued to inquire.
Meanwhile, Sera was anxious as she saw Harmony being bullied on stage. Sera quickly found the deputy director and asked, âSir, whatâs going on? These questions arenât the ones my artist agreed upon. Why are they asking random questions now?â She questioned angrily.
âWeâre not sure about this. Itâs a live broadcast, so we canât switch the scripts now,â the deputy director explained. He noticed that the current views had already reached fifty million and thought tonight might hit a hundred million views. Thus, in terms of profits, he wouldnât stop these actions since he believed these sharp questions would attract more attention than the initially planned ones.
On stage, Harmony answered her opinion on being on the red carpet. Then, the host continued with a smile, âMiss Mayo, we believe the fans have witnessed your acting skills. Not only are you skillful in acting, but you are also a beauty. Our fans are interested in whether youâve had plastic surgery or not.
Could you share aspects to consider if one decides to get plastic surgery?ââ
This question directly labeled Harmony as someone who had done plastic surgery before.
Harmony smiled and replied, âI donât know much about this because I havenât had any experience.
Sorry about that.â
The host chuckled and eased the awkwardness. âOh my, Miss Mayo doesnât want to discuss this topic.
Letâs move on to the next question, then.â
In the meantime, Harmony was already annoyed. She hadnât expected the TV station to play such a dirty trick and wanted the interview to end as soon as possible.
âMiss Mayo, you started your career at a young age. We believe youâve encountered many actors. So, please tell us which three actors you dislike the most. You can use initials instead of names.â
This question was clearly meant to create conflict. Harmony couldnât answer this question, so she simply shook her head with a smile and said, âI donât hate anyone because I think they are all wonderful people and have taken good care of me in many ways.â
The host continued to smile, appearing friendly. However, her eyes were filled with malice. She picked up the script and said, âOkay, weâll have a rapid Q&A next. If your boyfriend is angry, how will you quickly appease him?â she asked.
Harmony calmly replied, âIt depends on the situation. Adults should resolve issues rationally.â
âUnder what circumstances did you and your boyfriend first have an intimate relationship?â
In that split second, Harmony was speechless.
On the other hand, a tall and handsome figure had quietly taken a seat in the back row. Since Harmony was entirely focused on the hostâs questions, she didnât notice that someone had arrived.
After hearing this question, the man narrowed his eyes in displeasure. He could not help but ponder, What kind of interview is this? All the questions are filled with ill intentions.
Harmony blushed, and her eyes shimmered. After all, this question was impossible to answer. Although she had been in a relationship with Reuben for five years, they never engaged in a sexual relationship.
It wasnât that she didnât want to answer, but this question was too personal. Whether she answered or not, it would have an impact on her.
In the meantime, the fans were also expressing their dissatisfaction. After all, this wasnât the appropriate way to treat their idol.
Harmony pursed her red lips, and the camera deliberately zoomed in on her face, wanting to capture her embarrassed expression more clearly.
âWellâ¦â Harmony was lost for words, unsure of how to reply.
