Evelina looked down and fiddled with the pendant around her neck.
"I know that."
But having tasted the benefits, how could she let them go?
Her greed would likely lead to trouble eventually.
To maintain her appearance on camera, she had become so thin she looked skeletal.
Not only was Violeta's Facebook page attracting attention, but Hayden's also gained over two million followers in just an hour. Most of them were Violeta's fans.
Hayden felt a bit uneasy about all the attention.
Violeta teased him, "This is the cost of fame. You'll have to get used to it when you're with me."
He responded, "Thanks to your influence. I'll keep working hard."
"That's the spirit."
Violeta gave him a playful pat on the cheek.
He took the chance to hold her hand gently.
The drama Wind Harbor became a major hit.
The announcement of Violeta and Hayden together kept them in the spotlight. Both of them saw a significant increase in their follower count.
The hype continued through the release of Wind Harbor, with the first five episodes receiving high ratings.
During the same period, Summer with You also performed well but only managed to rank third.
The second-ranked drama was a wartime spy film.
Despite the overshadowing hype of Violeta's announcement, war-themed films usually had a steady audience.
Most of the younger viewers flocked to Wind Harbor, which had a noticeable impact on Summer with You.
Although Jacques was an A-list celebrity, he couldn't compete with Violeta's buzz and would have to wait for the market to balance out.
Wind Harbor had only 26 episodes. With two episodes released daily, it would wrap up in less than a month.
