Jessica’s teeth were chattering as she chewed on the nail of her thumb. Her bloodshot eyes were glued to her phone screen. She was on the verge of snapping when she saw the netizens gaining clarity of the situation and speaking up for Sonia and Toby. What's wrong with these netizens?Are they noticing so many things just because Toby posted a status? Do his words carry that much power? Jessica gritted her teeth as she stomped her foot angrily.
No way! I worked so hard to influence the netizens to side with me, and I finally managed to get them to curse Sonia to her death. I was so close! Sonia was about to collapse under the public’s words, and she was about to give in and hand the shares over. I can’t believe Sonia might be gaining the upper hand now just because of Toby’s post! I have to defeat her once more! At that thought, Jessica typed furiously to make a call to someone.
However, the dial tone indicated that the other person’s phone was switched off. She nearly slammed her phone onto the ground when her call couldn’t get through. “I can’t believe that useless b*stard is unreachable during such a critical moment! I guess I have no choice but to contact other media outlets,” Jessica grumbled. After taking a deep breath, she suppressed all the rage within her before she made another call.
Someone picked up her call this time. “Who is it?” The husky voice of a man came from the other end of the line.
Jessica frowned in disgust. “It’s me.”
The man laughed when he recognized Jessica’s voice. “I was wondering who you could be. So it’s you, Miss Jessica. Do you have any orders? Please tell me what you need. I’d climb mountains and dive into oceans just for you.”
“Enough with your lies.” Jessica rolled her eyes. “When I was staying at the hospital, you didn’t put up an article on Sonia’s bad deeds even though I told you to do so. How could you say that you’d do anything for me? What ajoke!”
The man didn’t seem the least bit infuriated by Jessica’s condescending tone. He let out a laugh instead. “I’m sorry, Miss Jessica. It’s true that we didn’t get our job done the last time, but I promise you we had our reasons. President Fuller from Fuller Group was around Sonia all the time back then, so we didn’t have the guts to stalk her and make a report. We’d be digging our own grave if we did that!”
“Forget it.” Jessica waved her hand as she spoke in an exasperated tone.
“You can forget about what happened last time, but I want you to get things done for me this time.”
“What do you need?” he asked.
“I have some more information about Sonia, and I want you to release it. Please make sure these go up to the headlines of your website’s official page. I want—” Before Jessica could finish her words, the man interrupted her. “That’s not possible,” he said while stroking the stubble around his chin.
Jessica widened her eyes in dissatisfaction. “Why not?” “I’ll be honest with you, Miss Jessica. I didn’t know you’d call to ask me to make another report on Sonia. If this were to do with something else, I’d help you without any hesitation, but I really can’t do anything if it’s related to Sonia. I bet you don’t know this— something happened to Trevor.” The man lowered his voice as he uttered his last sentence.
