The Last Time I Cried Your Name novel Chapter 74

Their hands froze awkwardly in the air. They shared a sheepish smile and ended up giving each other a quick, clumsy handshake.

The lights were on, cameras in place, everything ready to go.

Petty sat next to Franco, microphone in one hand, her script in the other. She tucked the pages just out of sight, making sure the camera couldn’t catch them.

Franco glanced at the script, noticing the names she’d crossed out. Normally, the new names would be written beside them, but Petty had just scribbled question marks next to each one.

No doubt, the question marks meant Franco.

The interview went off without a hitch. Franco answered every question with calm confidence, his words thoughtful and sharp. He always seemed to have the bigger picture in mind, handling even the trickiest topics like it was second nature.

Petty had never doubted his abilities. Compared to all her past interviews, this one felt effortless.

When they finished, Petty stood and reached out to Franco. “Thanks for your time, Franco. Once the video’s ready, we’ll let you review it before it goes live.”

Franco looked down, his expression all business. Her smile was bright and open, but he didn’t take her hand right away.

Petty’s hand hung in the air, the moment stretching out and turning a little tense.

Just as she started to lower her hand, Franco reached out. His grip was warm and steady, his fingers wrapping around hers. The heat of his palm spread through her hand in an instant.

“I’ll leave it to you, Petty.”

“You’re giving me too much credit. My colleague will send it to you, not me.”

She gave a small, sarcastic smile, refusing to meet Franco’s eyes. His gaze seemed darker than before, but she turned away and began packing up her things.

The company had arranged a simple meal for the interview team, and the secretary who brought them in was waiting to guide them.
