Teased By The Billionaire

Race 25

I have been busy with photo shoots and television interviews for almost a week now. It feels like I have become an instant celebrity since I won the race match. During this time, Easton and I had no communication because my phone was broken. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to go out and buy a new phone."

I thought that maybe the man was being hysterical because I hadn't spoken to him for a few days since he left for Italy.

As Danny and I were departing from our company building, I inquired about the time of my upcoming appointment.

"Danny, could you please tell me the exact time of my next appointment?" I asked him. With a friendly smile, Danny replied,

"You have a live interview scheduled for 3 p.m. today on a broadcasting channel. Is there anything else I can help with?" I thanked him for the information, feeling grateful for his assistance as always.

I winced as the warm sunlight hit me, but the driver immediately opened an umbrella to shield me from the heat. Once we got into the van, I realized I was sweating, but thankfully the air conditioner was on.

Danny helped me prepare for my next interview while we were on the way to the studio. When we arrived, I was surprised to see Einah there. She was surrounded by her glam team and we were going to share the same dressing room. She didn't notice my arrival because her eyes were closed while her make-up artist applied eyeshadow.

As I entered the venue, the staff there gave me a warm welcome. They led me to my designated seat, which was located near Einah's place. They had arranged it for me since my scheduled interview was just a few minutes away. I felt grateful for their hospitality and settled down comfortably.

After a few minutes, I got ready for my interview, and as I turned towards Einah, she was surprised to see me. I couldn't resist and smiled playfully at her, but she didn't seem to share my enthusiasm and immediately frowned, turning her back on me.

Soon after, the staff called me on stage, and I noticed that Einah was already there, talking to the newscaster. As soon as she saw me, her smile vanished from her face, and she looked annoyed. I wondered if something was bothering her, but I didn't have much time to think about it as I had to focus on my interview.

The newscaster cordially greeted me and offered me a seat. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the show commenced. The newscaster began by delivering the introduction line of the show and then proceeded to introduce us to the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the undefeated automobile car racer champion, Raniyah Ellen Domingo, also known as Red, along with her companion Einah Torres." The live audience erupted in applause, and we smiled for the camera.

"We are thrilled that you were able to come to our show and accept our invitation despite your busy schedule," the newscaster said happily.

"It's an absolute honor to be here," I replied, smiling.

The newscaster began asking us about our racing experiences and how we got started in the field. I answered humbly, but I noticed that Einah seemed tense during her response. I assumed that she was nervous because this was her first appearance on national television.

The newscaster tried to put us at ease during the interview. During the commercial break, we chatted and went over some details with the staff for the next part of the show. When the break ended, we resumed the show. I was able to answer the questions that the newscaster asked us.

"I was asked a surprising question as the show was wrapping up. The host asked, "How is your love life going these days? And can you describe your feelings in this photo?" As soon as the photo appeared on the screen, my jaw dropped. It was a picture taken at a bar a few months ago, which was the root of my current predicament - the night I met Easton. Then the host dropped another bombshell - "I heard that the guy in the photo was your boyfriend."
