Evidently, Hunter had made a name for himself within the legal fraternity of Sunshine City, right after returning from overseas. It was a testament to his capabilities.
At the end of the interview, Vivian asked a couple of gossipy questions that the public was generally interested in. Such as the rumor about Hunter and wildly popular actress Scarlett Jonas.
"Everyone wants to know if the rumors of you and Scarlett are true?"
Vivian didn't plan to ask such a nosy question but she had no choice as her readers were very interested in it. For the sake of the magazine's sales, she had to bow to the demands of the market.
"What rumors?" Hunter leaned back into his chair
and asked with his eyebrow raised.
"According to them, both of you are a couple." Vivian was stung by how awkward the question was, but as an experienced reporter, she hid it well with a natural smile.
Suddenly, Hunter put a hand on the table to support his chin as he gave Vivian a mischievous look. "Does everyone want to know or do you want to know?"
He threw the question back at her.
"The public is interested to know, and that of course includes yours truly. Would you mind to share?" Vivian replied in a professional tone.
"So, it appears that you are curious about this." Evidently, Hunter chose to hear what he wanted as he smiled faintly. "Since you are interested in whether I have a relationship with another woman,
can I say presume that you are jealous?"
"What?" Vivian thought she had heard wrongly. What a joke! Me, jealous? What does that have anything to do with me? In truth, she had hoped that there was something between Hunter and Scarlett.
"I said," Hunter smiled affectionately as he repeated, "you are being jealous."
