Please Come Back, Honey! novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53

It was already late at night when the gathering ended for the four people. As usual, Emma stayed overnight at Susanna‘s place. Cerys called for a designated driver while Wesley went back to his own house.

The next morning, Susanna had to go to the filming site and give Emma a ride as she needed to drop by Trevor’s place to take her things.

Just as they were about to arrive at Trevor‘s place, Susanna‘s manager, Britney, called Susanna

Britney broke down and cried, “Oh dear, you‘re trending now. Word has it that you like women.”

Susanna almost spat her coffee. “I like women?”

“Yeah.” With a headache, Britney said, ” Did you and Emma engage in intimate behavior when you were out together?”

Susanna made her debut under Briincy‘s care and manageinent, and she had been by Susanna‘s side since the start of her career. Hence, Britney knew Susanna was good friends with Emma.

Susanna answered truthfully, “Yeah, I drank too much last night and am still having a hangover, so I leaned on her shoulder while walking.”

After that, she said in anger again, “Didn‘t you say that my neighborhood has great privacy? Where were the paparazzi hiding”

Helplessly, Britney said, “You‘re popular now. The paparazzi will find a way to watch whatever you do, and we cannot stop that.”

Emma listened in on their conversation and understood the situation. She was speechless as well.

Before this, Emma had heard Susanna criticizing that certain media had no consciousness. They would make up stories with eye–catching titles just to attract viewers. However, Emma did not think it could be so absurd.

They were just walking together in close proximity for a short distance, and now the media was spreading the word around about how Susanna liked women.

Fortunately, Emma and Trevor were divorced by now. Otherwise, this news would‘ve humiliated Trevor if he had a wife who actually liked women.

If that were to happen, Trevor would not be hospitalized because of his gastric, but

because he passed out from anger after hearing such shocking news.

Susanna was fuming as well. She twirled her blonde, wavy hair with her finger as she asked, “What should I do now?”

Britney said, “What should you do? Of course, you need to clarify things.”

That only made Susanna roar angrily, “Fine then. Listen to me carefully. I like men! I love men!”

“The man I like is...” Susanna was so mad that she almost blurted out the name of the man she liked, but at the thought that the man, who was miles away from her, might have already given up on her, she leaned back into her scat in low spirits.

Britney was frustrated by Susanna. “What‘s the point of you screaming all that in front of me? It‘s not like I don‘t know the truth. The most important thing right now is to have the netizens believe that you are straight.”

Susanna could feel that her headache was getting worse. Not only that, her mood was ruined completely.

She did not want to think about it anymore. She just leaned on Emma‘s shoulder as Susanna told Britney hopelessly, “I don‘t care how you manage this, but both Emma and I are straight.”

Britney said, “I‘ll upload a statement for that and see how it goes.”

Then, Britney asked again, “By the way, did you offend Crystal recently? Because I found that those people who are slandering you might be working for her.”

At the mention of Crystal‘s name, Susanna blew up. “Who the hell offended her? I couldn‘t care less about that stupid b*tch.”

Emma seemed to understand something when she heard Crystal‘s name and said softly, “It must be because of me.”

Crystal disliked Emma, so she must have done all that to Susanna because she was friends with Emma.

It might be targeted at Emma too, and Susanna was slandered by mistake.

Regardless, Crystal killed two birds with one stone. She managed to tarnish Emma‘s reputation and created a crisis for Susanna, who was popular right now.

Emma was not bothered as she was just a scriptwriter that nobody knew about. Only those people who knew Emma in real life would recognize that it was her in the photo, but it was a different case for Susanna.
