When the neighbor, Jenica, called to apologize to me, I was lost in thought as I looked at the heavy rain outside the window.
"Oh no! I did something bad out of kindness. The netizens scolded you..."
"Scarlett, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect it either."
The little girl's anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
Stunned, I comforted her.
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry. I won't blame you."
She had longed felt sorry for me and wanted to stand up for me several times.
But I stopped her.
A man who should leave could not be held back.
I turned on my cell phone and checked the trending searches on Twitter.
The first three ranked as below.
#Realistic CEO'S novel finally updated!#
#Eileen is chosen as the female lead#
#Will Eileen's husband really show up?#
Four other trending searches trailed behind.
They were all related to me.
However, it was all curses.
#Who is Scarlett Reid#
#The Clown from the CEO's novel#
#What does it feel like to pretend to be a socialite?#
#A woman who failed to live up to the investors' expectations#
Each topic targeted different angles.
The netizens were scolding me as best as they could.
"Who is this? I've never heard of her. What kind of comments is she making below Eileen's post?"
"It's the first time I've seen someone who even wants to snatch away other's husband in public."
"Everyone, her posts are all about fake romance! Be ready to brace yourself for the pretense!"
"Which entertainment company is she from? She can't be popular with so many socialites' daily life posts. How about the investors switch to make me popular?"
"Making me popular?"
I laughed so hard that I sobered up.
"Do I need to pretend to be a socialite?"
"I am a real socialite!"
If it weren't for Gavin, I would have flown to Hawaii by my private jet long ago!
I didn't expect that he wouldn't need me now.
I became an idle person at home.
They were jealous of my idle and aesthetic life at home.
Back then, Gavin's business had improved.
It was me who had guided him and helped him win clients one by one.
Everyone praised us for being a perfect match.
When she was about to make our relationship public, Eileen's post changed everything.
From then on, everything was turned upside down.
The head of the publicity department said that an overbearing CEO and a rookie female staff were more like a couple.
The only veteran who stood up for me was fired the next day.
