This is when Bea and Conner truly meet-up.
Following up from this moment:
After the show, Conner was motivated to interviewing the more beautiful model he's ever seen, which turned out to be a solution to getting answers the CWN needs. He was escorted by Abigail, who happily takes him to Beatrice dressing room. Conner gets flustered to see her again when he arrives, and Bea was happy to see him. Already, her kind welcoming was enough for Conner to be swoon over. Conner and Bea get comfortable with each other during the interviewing, with Conner complimenting Bea about how pretty she looks and performs. Bea thanks him, and says that everyone’s got a thing for her from that point, but she says that not one reporter has even walked kindly to her dressing room. Conner, of course, wanted to know more about Bea, but he realized that he’s in a time crunch. So, he jumped to the question he was tasked to ask, which was about the workplace environment. Bea actually came clean and said that for the two years she’s worked with, she’s noticed the problems on occasion. She also said that she can’t really confirm or deny, but she hopes that there would be a change that would happen so that the negative reputation would soon fade away. Bea admits that she loves her job too much to leave because of some bad eggs. Conner nods with a smile, saying that he admires how hopeful she is and how he hopes that the management will change too. Bea chuckled because she thinks Conner made it sound like he works for Mobian Topic, which made him chuckle along. He says that he meant it, because he’s optimistic. He checks the time, and says that he has to go, thinking that Quincy must be looking for him by now. After they exchanged their goodbyes, Bea tells Conner to tell Quincy that she says hi, which made him smile more and nod as he leaves.
