Chapter 313: Behind Every Great Woman

Fraser continued, “One is fearless only when they are strong, and I hope my Summer can become a brave woman. This isn’t to say I won’t protect you, but I’d rather you feel free to do anything as long as it makes you happy.”

Summer gazed into Fraser’s firm and profound eyes, which seemed to tell her, Just be bold and do as you please; I’ve got your back.

Unexpectedly, her eyes welled up with tears, and a lump formed in her throat. A flood of emotions overwhelmed her. No one had ever said such things to her before. His kindness made her feel like she shouldn’t use him to deal with Helen.

Fraser’s long fingers caressed her face as he soothed her in a low voice, “Pregnant women shouldn’t cry too often. I didn’t say all this to make you cry.”

Summer stubbornly retorted, “Who says I’m crying?”

Fraser laughed, his indulgence reaching deep into his bones, “Alright, alright, maybe I was mistaken.” His fingertips gently traced her blushing lips, his voice sultry, “Summer, I want to hear you call me again.”

“What?”

Fraser’s eyes, shimmering like the water, playfully fixed on Summer, his expression expectant as he whispered, “What did you call me earlier, hmm?”

She had called him “honey.”

At the thought, Summer’s face turned red. It was just to tease him earlier, but now his direct and suggestive gaze was on her, Summer felt a bit shy and found herself unable to say it, especially with him not letting her off the hook.

Fraser’s lips brushed against her ear, his voice seductive as he nibbled her earlobe, “Come on, call me like you did before.”

The warm breath he exhaled near her ear sent shivers down her spine, reminding her of how sensual his lips had been the night before. Summer felt that if she stayed any longer, she might completely lose her composure. She immediately stood up from his embrace.

“I need to go to work. I’m going to be late!”

Chapter 313: Behind Every Great Woman

At the Stewart Group, after Summer arrived at the office, Winston knocked and entered her office, reporting the day’s schedule as usual.

“Ms. Stewart, you have an interview scheduled with ‘The Insider Report’ at 3 PM. This interview will be a one-on-one with some audience members present, primarily discussing the rumors from your last press conference. Although ‘The Insider Report’ is influential nationwide, they are known for digging deep into personal gossip and creating sensational stories, so you might face some very personal questions, Ms. Stewart.”

As Winston reported, Summer’s phone chimed on the desk. While listening to Winston, she opened WhatsApp.

Fraser typed, “Honey, what time do you get off work tonight? I’ll pick you up, okay? Remember, you owe me from this morning; I’ll expect it tonight.”

Fraser was already asking when she was getting off work, and she had just arrived. This man, really! But as Summer’s fingers brushed over the phone screen, a slight smile formed on her lips.

“Ms. Stewart?”

After finishing his report, Winston saw Summer staring at her phone with a smile, unsure if she had heard him clearly.

Summer snapped back to reality and regained her composure.

“Proceed as planned.”

Winston was stunned. Hopefully, today’s interview goes smoothly.

At 3 PM, the studio of ‘The Insider Report’ was spacious and bright, with ceilings three and a half meters high and massive lights neatly arranged at the top. Several cameramen were positioned by the stage. About 500 audience members sat on tiered steps. Today’s interview was broadcast live. The spotlight illuminated the stage as brightly as daylight, and reporter Francis picked up the microphone to introduce the session.

“After the Stewart Group’s last press conference, interest in Ms. Stewart’s personal life has skyrocketed. Today, we’ve invited Summer here to address these topics. Please welcome the president of the Stewart Group, Summer, to the stage.”

The audience applauded vigorously. Dressed in a classic Chanel suit that perfectly accentuated her slender waist, Summer gracefully approached the seat opposite Francis and sat down with poise and grace. Francis’ face bore a professionally trained smile.

“Ms. Stewart, welcome to “The Insider Report.” It’s a pleasure to have you. Please say hello to our eager viewers here and at home.”

Summer turned slightly toward the camera, ready to engage.
