It was clear that this live stream was timed to capitalize on the trending topic.
Zoey's brow furrowed as she clicked onto the live broadcast of the up-and-coming starlet, a fresh face that Arthur's former
company had been pushing lately.

between the two.
Now, the starlet was crying on camera while her fans typed frantic messages below.
[Is this about trouble with Arthur?]
[That jerk must've hooked up with someone from Star Movie Group. | recognize the woman in the photo with him; it's Zoey from
Star Movie Group.]
[Gross, those two should go to hell.]
[Yeah, that's definitely Zoey. Saw her in sother actress's photos before. She's calling the shots at Star Movie Group now,
right?]
As the starlet continued to sob without offering any explanation, her fans only grew more sympathetic. Before long, the sympathy
for her shot to the second spot on the trending topics.
The first was the gossip about Zoey and Arthur.
Zoey watched the video, her face darkened as she finally realized why John had asked her to knock on that door earlier.

Elvis instructed his team to monitor the online chatter closely, and then turned to Zoey.
"What's the plan?"
Right now, even if Zoey cout to clarify, nobody would believe her because the photo was authentic.
If she told the truth, that she was just waking Arthur up, the fans would only be more convinced that there was an affair.
Moreover, since Arthur had recently jumped ship to Star Movie Group, they had planned to announce his transfer on Twitter
immediately. Now, that news had to be put on hold, lest it throw Zoey and Arthur further into the storm.
Unable to explain and unable to announce Arthur's new association with Star Movie Group. A chill passed through her gaze.
Corporate backstabbing of this nature was frowned upon in the industry.
She looked up, massaging the bridge of her nose, "Let's hold off on announcing Arthur's signing for now. | need to think of another
way to handle this."
Not explaining would affect Arthur's reputation too, casting him as the bad guy. She turned to Arthur, "You need to go on Twitter
and clarify your relationship with her. Your fans already know your old company was bleeding you dry. You can be a bit more
emphatic this time."
"Alright."
Arthur handed over his phone cooperatively, allowing the PR team to review his statement before it went live.

their meeting that day was not a date but a cast dinner with everyone present.
However, he didn't mention Zoey.
Zoey sank into a chair nearby, leaning back as she pondered her next move. Unbeknownst to her, the moment she beca hot
topic, the news was forwarded to Fitch. Mia had sent it.
[Fitch, check out this woman. Her personal life's a mess. Just yesterday she was all over Tyler, and today she's onto another celeb.
Don’t know if she has any disease. Gross.]
Sitting in his office during a meeting, Fitch had initially ignored Mia's message, not even clicking on it. But then she sent a few
more in quick succession.
[That Zoey, | knew she couldn't stay put. Netizens have got it right.]
It was only after seeing this message that Fitch clicked through, instantly spotting the gossip about Zoey and Arthur, along with the
photos.
His eyes narrowed as his fingers scrolled through the vitriolic comments.
"Mr. Haskins?"
Someone was calling him from the side, prompting him to put down his phone with an expressionless face.
"Continue."
The others exchanged puzzled looks, wondering what had gotten into him. This was the first the'd been so obviously distracted
during a meeting.
After it ended, Fitch returned to his office and couldn't resist checking the trending topics again. The comments vilifying Zoey had
surpassed a hundred thousand, all suggesting she was throwing herself at Arthur, who had not reciprocated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArthur's reputation had always been stellar, with many female stars noting his gentlemanly behavior in interviews.
Now that Arthur had cleared the air about that starlet but had left out Zoey, she was left in an unfavorable position.
Most comments were lambasting Zoey, with a few criticizing the starlet for streaming at such a crucial time, obviously aiming to
ride the wave of attention.
"Both women are shameless; Arthur's the real victim here."
"Bled dry by his studio, forced to boost Yvonne's profile, and now srandom woman's making moves on him. And since she's
high up, he can't afford to offend her."
"Could Zoey be trying to pull scasting couch nonsense? Let's be honest, Arthur's got the kind of face that's popular in the
cougar circles."
Fitch sat back, succumbing to curiosity and googled Arthur's photos. After a close examination, he cto a conclusion.
Nothing special.
