Chapter 21
At Worry-Free Studio, Ella spotted the official announcement for the live TV show they were about to join, "Exquisite Beauty Live."
In no time, Twitter was flooded with fan comments.
[So many gorgeous and cool ladies!]
[Exquisite Beauty Live is here, let's all get fabulous together,go go go!]
[Who's Ms. Worry-Free? Is she a sponsor? I don't know her, but I love Ava!]
Ella couldn't help but smile at the comments.
The Worry-Free Studio was all about high-end, custom services.
They had a solid spot in the fashion world, but their fame was still kinda niche.
Joining Exquisite Beauty Live was their shot at more exposure and getting noticed.
Ella kept scrolling through the comments but didn't see any mention of Ms.Worry-Free.
On the other hand, Ava, the internet celeb, was getting all the love.
Fans were all over her, tagging her on Twitter and everything. "What are you looking at?" Lily walked over and, with just one glance,her face turned red with anger. "This is too much. How is it that this chick is everywhere!" "Just wait, during the live broadcast, I'll make her pay!" Lily rolled up her sleeves. ready to throw down. "She must've known we were gonna be on the show, so she joined too!"
"Forget her, she doesn't matter."
Ella was way calmer than Lily. "Let's focus on the upcomning competition!"
Some big-name designers were attending this competition, and even though she was confident, she knew she couldn't get cocky.
"You're right!"
Lily grabbed the computer. "Let's see what these clueless fans are saying.No taste! Can't believe they like a two-faced person!"
She grumbled while scrolling through the comments, getting more pissed off by the second.
Suddenly,she stopped, "Damn it, you two are still not divorced. How dare that bitch show off with him? Look at this."
Lily turned the computer screen, and a photo came into view.
The photo was clearly taken secretly by Ava, with Arthur in the background.
His side profile was captivating: a high nose bridge, a firm jawline, and deep-set eyes. In the sunlight, Arthur looked focused, slightly frowning, as if in thought.Ava was holding a phone in one hand, resting her chin on the other.winking playfully.They looked like a sweet couple in the photo.
Ella looked up and smiled bitterly. "It'snone of my business!"
"Can't you have some competitive spirit!" Lily said indignantly,knocking on Ella's head. "You're still not divorced, that's your husband!"
"Soon he won't be!"
Ella closed Twitter and went back to drawing. "The photo looks like it was taken secretly, but think about it, if Arthur didn't want it, who would dare to take it! And look closely, which account posted the photo!"
Looking closely, Lily got even angrier. "How bold, actually..."
The photo only showed Arthur's side profile.
Strangers wouldn't recognize hisidentity.
But the photo was posted by his official account.
As the president of the Smith Group, Arthur's Twitter only posted company-related content, but now...
She scrolled through the comments on his account.
[Who stole my husband! Turns out it's my idol. You're forgiven!]
[They're a perfect match!]
[I believe in love again! Wishing you both endless happiness.]Ava and Arthur, being natural attention magnets, quickly shot to the top of the trending searches. Their photo together was going viral online. Lily was about to smash the computer in frustration. "These stupid fans and their stupid comments!"
"Work hard and make money, then we can choose any man we want!"
"Yeah,you're right!"
They quickly got back to work.
After the Exquisite Beauty Live announcement, Ms. Worry-Free's old customers started calling in to place orders.
They wanted to stock up on designs before Ms. Worry-Free became famous,hoping to profit later.
Ella was pleased and got busy with Worry-Free Studio's clients.
Meanwhile, at the Smith Group.
Arthur was staring at the content on the official account, tapping his fingers on the table. Each tap felt like a hammer to his assistant's heart.
The assistant was so scared he barely dared to breathe. "Mr. Smith..."
"Talk."
Arthur's voice was cold as ice.
The assistant shivered. "This has nothing to do with me! I don't know anything about it!"
"What is the PR department doing? Go and..." Before Arthur could finish, his phone rang. He glanced at it and answered, "What's up?"
"Arthur, I'm sorry!"
Ava's weak voice came through,choked with sobs.
Arthur frowned. "What's the matter?"
"Today Exquisite Beauty Live announced, the show asked me to post on Twitter, so I handed it over to Donny..."
Halfway through, Ava started crying uncontrollably.
The call ended.
Arthur frowned, sensing something was off. "Forget it."
He grabbed his suit and turned to leave.
He drove at top speed, pedal to the metal.
Ten minutes later, Arthur arrived at Ava's door, about to knock when he heard arguing inside.
"What do you want? I have no backing, and you despise me, but you can't post a picture of Arthur and me on his account! Now the netizens misunderstand, what should I do!"
"Don't worry, it's just hype! And Mr. Smith is getting divorced!"
"You're my agent, you should discuss things with me. You're my savior,I m grateful, but you can't make decisions on your own! I'll clarify on Twitter right now, I can't let anyone misunderstand..." "Stop, if you do that, it's over!" The agent was very emotional. "Do you know that many guests on this show have connections? You don't have any backing and will be bullied!" The knocking sounded.
Ava opened the door.
Seeing her swollen eyes, Arthur sighed.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to, I'll clarify right now!"
Ava cried,grabbing the computer.
Donny firmly blocked the computer. "No!"
"Forget it!"
Arthur's voice was firm. "This matter ends here! Go to the live broadcast with peace of mind, with me here, no one will bully you!"
After speaking, he turned and left.
Donny raised an eyebrow proudly. "Ava, impressive,didn't expect you to handle men so well!"
"This is nothing!"
Ava sat down, crossing her legs. "In ten minutes, there will be more good news!"
"What?" Donny looked puzzled.
"Let's wait! Arthur won't let me suffer any grievances!" Five minutes later, a trending topic appeared out of nowhere.#Smith Group President Spends Two Hundred Million Dollars for Love [I love it, when will God give me such a man!] [Domineering president falls in love with the actress,so sweet!]
[Oh my. I also want to spend a fortune like the president,but I can only buy my girlfriend a burger!]
