Chapter: 162
Ariana hit her head with the palm of her hand and told herself,
“Don’t overthink it.” ©
That day, Ariana stayed in her room dealing with emails. As Sarah became more popular, she was receiving more and more
invitations.
Her chin rested in her hand, Ariana clicked through them. She wasn’t very impressed with many of the invitations. They all
seemed to either have limited production costs or have a history of disputes with artists.
Now that Sarah was on the rise again, Ariana had to be careful to pick the right shows for her. A single wrong choice could
backfire badly for Sarah’s career.
As she was pondering this, her phone rang. @
It was the director of a famous talk show. He said that the guest he had originally organized had cancelled and he wanted to
know if Sarah was willing to fill in.
The filming was due to take place the next day.
Ariana looked at her watch. It was almost six pm. If Sarah set off now, she would be able to make the last flight of the day.
She should be able to do the talk show and get back in time for the shooting of the variety show the day after tomorrow.
After thinking about it for a while, Ariana asked the man to hold on for her answer. Then she went into Sarah’s room, and found
Sarah and Betsy playing games together on the sofa.
When Ariana told her about the talk show, Sarah Looked worried.
“Will they ask me about my divorce? You know I hate talking about it.”
Ariana reassured her, “Don’t worry. Hosts on this talk show don’t ask questions in poor taste and they will go over the questions
with you before recording. Besides, you’re there to help them too. They won’t be too hard on you.”
Relieved, Sarah said, “Okay. I’ll go and pack my stuff now.”
“Great, I’ll accept this invitation for you.”
As expected, the director was very pleased to hear that Sarah was on board.
While Sarah packed her bags, Ariana tried to get the plane tickets.
Since it was late, she only managed to book two tickets.
After a discussion, she decided to let Betsy go with Sarah.
At half past nine that evening, Ariana waved them off at the airport, and returned to the hotel alone.
When she got back, she saw that her suitcase had been moved. Her first thought was a thief, but when she saw that the quilt
and toiletries had been replaced, she figured it must have been room service.
She didn’t think too much of it, and went to take a shower. But, as she was showering, the water heater broke down.
She wiped the water from her face and tried adjusting the shower head, but it didn’t work. The water was still coming out cold.
