The Gudu Venom

There were a gentle female voice outside, seeming somewhat familiar. Marigold gestured to Brian, prompting him to approach the door and open it.

Standing before them was none other than Pepe, the woman who had previously administered first aid to Marigold downstairs.

Upon seeing her, Brian was stunned and kept silent for a while ,and then his face flushing with a hint of shyness.

"Cinderella, it's you. Please, come in quickly," he said.

Uncharacteristically, Brian did not immediately order her to leave, as he usually would. Marigold was equally surprised.

A sheepish Pepe explained, "Just call me Pepe. I left the television station long ago and stopped hosting that program. So I'm no longer Cinderella."

"But to me, you'll always be Cinderella," Brian insisted. "Even if there are many other hosts claiming the title, you remain unique in my eyes. After all, you adorned my childhood. I found joy in your shows."
