Chapter 183 Trending Again
Elsa was comforted by her assurance, and she hung up feeling relieved.
After that conversation with Elsa, Natalia went straight to the set for Vicente.
As the director, Vicente could not go back to hotel to rest since there was still a lot of unfinished work
on the set.
After a simple lunch, he was about to start working.
When Natalia found him, he was looking at the footage taken this morning and was surprised to see
her.
"Hmm? I thought that I’ve told you to go back to the hotel and have a good rest. The shooting in the
afternoon requires a lot of energy. You’d better not fall behind."
Natalia smiled, "That's all right, Mr. Langes. I want to talk to you about something."
Vicente noticed her difference and nodded.
"All right, let's go over there."
Then he led her to the temporary break room.
In the break room Vicente asked, "Well, what is it that you want to say?"
Natalia didn't say anything and just pulled out her phone to show him the trending topic on Twitter.
Vicente paused for a second. He took over the phone and looked carefully. When he saw the title and
photos above, his face suddenly turned livid with anger.
“Bastard!” he put the phone on the desk and growled, “Who took those pictures? Who wrote that
nonsense! Are they blind or what? I was drunk and you simply gave me a hand. And they turned this
into a scandal? What are they up to?"
Natalia smiled and said, "Mr. Langes, don't bother about this nonsense. The person who took those
pictures wants to tear me down. Unfortunately, she won't get what she wants."
Vicente looked at her, confused.
"Who on earth wants to do that? You’re just a newbie in this industry. Why would anyone go through all
this trouble against you?"
Natalia raised her eyebrows. "Maybe... Just because she’s jealous?"
Vicente froze.
Natalia put her phone away and said calmly, "I'm telling you this because I want you to be prepared.
Otherwise, if those reporters ask, you might not know anything. I know you don't use social media."
Vicente took a moment to finally realize what Natalia was trying to say.
“So... you don’t want me to get involved?”
Natalia nodded.
“"Don't worry. I'll take care of it and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Vicente shook his head in disapproval.
"No, though it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it can have a great negative impact on you if you get it
wrong. I'll make a public statement and find out who did this. Don't get yourself involved again."
Natalia stared at him and blinked.
"Why are you making a statement?"
Vicente wondered, "Why not?"
Natalia laughed, "It's a great opportunity to increase the popularity of this series. Someone even paved
the way for us. Why throw it away? Let the buzz run. We don't have to make a statement because this
will help us get publicity for the new show."
Vicente was completely puzzled.
"Aren't you afraid that people will believe it and think you got the part by dishonest means?"
Natalia looked at him and grinned.
"I heard that at the end of this month, the first promo will be released, right?"
Vicente paused and nodded. "Yes, but what’s that got to do with it?"
"The best way to prove it," Natalia said, "is not to make a statement, but to slap them in the face with
what we got."
She said, with her eyes glistening with fierceness, "Before that, I want them to get their punishment
they deserved!"
...
As Natalia left the set, Rosa walked by to fetch water.
She went into the dressing room. Jessica had just finished her meal and was sitting there having a rest.
Seeing her, she opened her eyes and said in a cold voice, "So? What did you see?"
Rosa bowed her head slightly, and her voice was quiet and weak with a sense of timidity.
"I saw Natalia coming out of the Mr. Langes's break room."
Jessica grinned.
"So, she saw the pictures. She thought she could just go to Vicente and fix this? So naive!" All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Rosa looked up at her and quickly lowered her eyes. She shut her mouth and didn’t say a word.
Jessica thought for a while and said, "Contact more KOLs and ask them to stir this up again. Try to
keep that topic trending a few more days and stir along with the topic from yesterday!"
Rosa pinched her fingertips, hesitating.
Jessica saw her standing still and felt angry all of a sudden. She threw a cup of water at Rosa’s feet.
"Are you deaf? Did you hear me? You don't need me to show you how to make contacts, do you?"
Rosa hurriedly said, "No. I’ll get it done."
Then she left hurriedly.
That afternoon.
Everyone knew that there was a TV series called Strategies for Cannon Fodder in which the leading
actress Natalia and the director Vicente were having an illicit affair.
The affairs between leading actresses and directors were no longer a big news these days, as there
were nonstop scandals revealed in the entertainment industry.
What had actually made the news stand out was that these two names were simply too unfamiliar to
the public. Despite a few people knew Natalia was Jessica's sister, there was little information about
this incident.
Even the relationship between Natalia and Jessica was only known to a few people despite the
previous scandal.
Normal people were not too concerned about this sort of things. Even if they wanted to gossip, they
wouldn’t care much afterwards.
Also, Jessica had been involved in some bad news for several times before, so people didn’t think
highly of her, let alone care about her news.
But for some reason, the name Natalia had been trending on social media for the past two days.
Yesterday, Jessica and Natalia had just made up.
Today, it had been revealed that Natalia was sleeping with a director for her role in the new TV series.
People were all confused. Who the hell was this Natalia? Why was there so much news about her?
People who were curious began searching for news about Natalia.
Natalia did not open her account as an actress. Her previous account, which was created for her job in
the PR Department, still had the title of President of Star Entertainment and Manager of the Public
Relations Department in Annie International.
Not many people knew about this account, but because she had forwarded some advertising posts, it
was naturally not very hard for people to find out.
However, when people finally found it, they realized it was only a work account in which there was
nothing but work information.
Not to mention Natalia's personal life.
People felt bored, but also more curious about her.
After all, Natalia was a very beautiful woman, if not just judged by the advertisement.
On the other hand, Jessica, whose fans previously bragged about how good-looking she was on the
Internet, looked like a maid when she stood next to her much prettier sister.
