Timothy had already extended an olive branch to Mia. Why didn’t she simply express her need for
help?
During her previous call seeking Timothy’s assistance, she had employed sweet talk, consistently
addressing him as “darling” to win him over.
With a hint of hesitation, Heath asked, “So, Mr. Barrett, what should we do now?”
“Must I spell it out for you? Get that trending topic taken down!” Timothy snapped, his frustration
evident.
Heath immediately complied, but before long, feedback from his subordinates reached him.
Heath seemed perplexed as he reported, “Mr. Barrett, there’s already been a request for the removal of
the trending topic on their end, and the popularity has dwindled.”
Wearing a stern expression, Timothy inquired, “Who made the request?”
“It was Mr. Linden Lane from Nord City, also known as Liam.”
Upon hearing that name. Timothy’s mood turned sour. “Why are you just standing there? Keep
investigating who’s behind all of this.”
For Timothy, the removal of a trending topic held little significance.
After all, being in Bern City, what revelations could Linden, who resided in Nord City, possibly uncover?
Following the call, Mia returned to the office area, only to be greeted by discontented expressions from
her
colleagues.
As she approached her desk, Wilhelmina voiced her frustration. “Mia, you’ve got some nerve showing
up to
work today.
“We h
had to put in overtime this weekend because of your actions, and your reputation has dragged us intonovelbin
this mess! Don’t you think an apology is in order?”
Mia looked up, meeting the eyes of both Wilhelmina and her other colleagues. “I extend my sincere
apologies for any inconvenience caused by this situation.
“Nonetheless, it’s due to someone spreading malicious rumors about me. I am determined to conduct a
thorough investigation to unveil the truth behind this matter.”
Wilhelmina felt a slight unease, but with Shelly’s recent reassurance in mind, she regained her
confidence.
Even if Mia were to reveal the truth, it appeared there was little she could do to cause harm.
After all, Wilhelmina had Shelly firmly supporting her–a formidable member of the esteemed Barrett
family. What chance did a mere nobody like Mia have against such influence?
With a contemptuous sneer, Wilhelmina remarked, “Words can be deceptive. Who’s to say you’re not
crying.

“Mia, if you fail to handle this matter appropriately, the women in our studio won’t let you off lightly.”
Grace Fallon, a designer who typically shared a good rapport with Wilhelmina, chimed in, “Exactly!
Because of your actions, my potential suitor caught wind of it and immediately distanced himself from
me.
You must take full responsibility for this!”
“Yeah, the news was spreading like wildfire on social media, probably with millions of views and shares
by
now, right?”
As Wilhelmina opened her phone and started searching the headlines, she exclaimed, “Wha, why is
the Tweet no longer available? It was the top trending just a moment ago. How could it suddenly
vanish?”
Simultaneously, the other female colleagues unlocked their phones, echoing the sentiment. “Indeed, it’s
gone. It’s no longer on the trending list!”
Instinctively. Wilhelmina blurted out. “How is that possible?”
She quickly realized she had let something slip and added, “I mean, just a moment ago, it was trending
at number one. How did it suddenly change? It seems very strange!”
Mia gazed at her with a cunning smile and remarked, “Are you implying that the post being taken down
isn’t a relief, or do you secretly wish for this situation to spiral even more out of control?”
Observing Wilhelmina’s response, Mia became increasingly convinced of Wilhelmina’s involvement in
the
situation.
Wilhelmina swiftly composed herself and retorted, “Mia, don’t speak nonsense. Why would I want this
situation to escalate?”
Just then, Wilhelmina’s phone rang, and she quickly glanced at the caller ID, her eyes anxiously
scanning the surroundings.
