Chapter 945
The station manager began with a sense of urgency in his voice, "Here''s the thing, Agnes. | called you in today because we''ve
got a bit of a situation on our hands. You''re aware that our rtionship with the Tim Group has been... let''s say, strained, due to
the whole Ynda debacle. Of course, it was Ynda who did you wrong, and I''ve reassigned her to another department.
However, historically, the Tim Group has been our biggest advertiser, but today, it seems they''re not too keen on throwing their
ads our way."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Agnes frowned slightly.
So, this was the reason.
But this was an issue for the Advertising Department, not really something that concerned her role in the News Department.
She could read between the lines of what the station manager was implying.
Yet, her reason for working at the station was purely journalistic; she had no interest in entangling herself with the various vested
interests at y.
Agnes replied frankly, "I''m afraid | won''t be of much help with this."
Her response was blunt, without a hint of exnation.
Given her current position, there was little she could do.
If she were to bring this up with Jared, she might even make the situation worse.
The station manager hastily added, "Oh, Agnes, you must have misunderstood. Business is business and personal is personal. |
would never put you in a difficult position. And really, ad deals are not something for Mr. Whitfield to worry about. But, tonight, |
have a dinner nned with Mr. Peter from the Tim Group''s marketing department. There''ll be many other media folk there as
well, and quite a few have heard about your recent heroics in Bronzetown Borough and are eager to meet you. So, all I''m asking
is for you to apany me to dinner."
Agnes wanted to say no.
But the station manager persisted, "Agnes, you once mentioned to me your idea of doing a follow-up feature on the orphaned
kids in Bronzetown Borough. | think it''s a brilliant idea. But as you know, it''s a big project that requires a lot of resources from the
station.”
Agnes fell silent.
He continued, "I have no ulterior motives. | promise you, if you just sit with us at dinner tonight, I''ll put you in charge of that
project.”
"Fine," Agnes conceded, "I''ll go to the dinner, but you have to keep your word."
“Of course, | wouldn''t dream of going back on it."
As Agnes left the office, a heavy sigh escaped her. The manager seemed to overestimate her influence.
He thought he could use her connection with Jared.
He even believed that Mr. Peter from the Tim Group''s marketing department would consider their station for advertising out of
regard for her.
But what the manager didn''t realize was that her rtionship with Jared wasn''tmon knowledge within thepany.
She might have visited the Tim Group frequently, but only a handful of people, mainly the secretaries, would recognize her face.
The Tim Group was practically amercial empire with countless people and departments.
How could they possibly know her?
Moreover, her rtionship with Jared had never been public.
It was the case before, and it was even more so now.

Without refusal, Agnes got into the car.
The station manager was all smiles, making small talk, and Agnes managed a tepid smile in return.
