Chapter 153 Putting Down Trending Topics
Reaching out her hand, Nicole rubbed the corners of her eyebrows. She felt her head was throbbing in pain. One incident happens after another; they sure do not want me to live in peace.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Miss Nicole,” whispered Scarlett. She came into the office with a file in her arms.
Putting away the troubled look on her face, Nicole raised her head and slightly faked a smile. With a hoarse voice, Nicole asked, “Yes, what is it?”
“These are some of the problems encountered while you were not present. I have sorted them out.” Scarlett placed the file on the desk.
Upon hearing that, Nicole reached out her hand and took the file. After taking a look at the content, she discovered that Scarlett had already marked everything out very seriously. It was clear and organized.
Nicole nodded and smiled. “Alright. I get it.”
However, Scarlett did not immediately leave after delivering the document. Instead, she stood there for a moment, then Nicole looked up, wondering what was wrong. “Is there anything else?”
Scarlett took a deep breath and confessed by saying, “Miss Nicole, there are rumors flying around that Daniella committed suicide, you… ought to be careful.”
Hearing Scarlett’s concern, Nicole gave her a light chuckle. With a slight smile on her face, Nicole said, “She’s the one who committed suicide, not me. So, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Undeniably, Scarlett also knew that this was the case. However, as the saying went, public pressure could kill one person. Right now, the public opinion toward Nicole was not positive at all.
Glancing at Scarlett’s embarrassed look, Nicole smiled ever so lightly. “It will be alright. I have my own plan. Thank you for looking out for my best interest.”
Upon seeing Nicole’s poised appearance, Scarlett swallowed all the comforting words she had originally thought up. Then, she nodded and left.
Meanwhile, in the President’s office at the top floor of the Gardner Corporation, Tony raised his eyes. He looked at the man with a dim expression and spoke cautiously.
“President Gardner, the public opinion toward Miss Nicole is rocky at the moment.”
Upon hearing that, Colton narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a bit of danger lurking in his elongated eyes.
Putting his hand on his chin, Colton said in a deep voice, “What is the updated situation at the hospital at the moment?”
“It’s not as serious as it was made out to be. It was said that Daniella didn’t cut deep enough to seriously harm herself, but she’s still in the hospital as we speak,” Tony answered hurriedly.
As he spoke, Tony raised his eyelids; he stared at the moody boss above him and sighed a bit. How is it that I feel as though President Gardner’s attitude has changed over time after he and Miss Nicole crossed paths?
Prior to this, Colton was almost unbothered to care about these things. But now, it seemed that whenever it involved Nicole, Colton would go the extra mile.
“Send someone to the hospital to keep a constant eye on her and see what other tricks she is up to,” Colton said. His voice paused momentarily, and he continued by saying, “Also, locate the Public Relations Department to help further shut down the trending topics on this matter.”
The heat of the chilli would easily subside, but the memory of the spice left behind would stay. Tony could only take the bullet and continue on by saying, “President Gardner, the trending topics surrounding the scandal can no longer be suppressed. After the whole fiasco for the past few days, a lot of people are invested in this matter.”
Feeling extremely sour, Colton suppressed his voice and said, “Will you not look for a few famous celebrities’ scandals or illicit materials to expose on? Regardless of which you choose, ensure that you help me suppress this trending topic!”
Tony was left speechless. He did not expect Colton would go to such lengths for Nicole’s sake.
Still, Tony nodded. “Okay. Will do.”
After Tony responded and turned around, Colton, who was right behind, had a sudden thought and stood up.
Tony was startled after he heard the sound. Thinking nothing of it, he turned around and walked back to the desk instantaneously. However, just as he was about to ask what other orders he had, Colton’s words rang out.
“What’s the matter? Hurry up and get on with your job. What are you still doing here standing around?”
With that, Colton walked out with his pair of long legs.
Realization eventually hit Tony as he stood dumbfounded. It’s as if whenever Miss Nicole is faced with trouble, President Gardner’s mood would also sour. It seems that if I want to report anything important in the future, I have to pick the time when Miss Nicole is all right.
