The weather was slightly cooler at night.
When I walked out of the restaurant, a burst of coolness hit my face.
Theo took off his coat and put it on me. "You wait for me here. I'll drive over."
"Alright."
I stepped out a little so that Theo could see me better.
While I was waiting, I met someone I should not have met again.
Harriet and Lola were walking over, but I did not have time to avoid them.
Harriet seemed to be in a good mood when she saw me. She looked over at me multiple times. "Oh, if it isn't President Lane? How does it feel to be on the list of hot searches?"
Lola probably felt that such behavior was not appropriate, so she reached out and pulled her clothes. "Harriet, don't do this."
She did not care, though, and still continued in her own way.
"There's nothing that can't be said. President Lane was the one who pushed me first."
This made me laugh out loud, and I looked at her. "Could it be that you've lost your memory, Miss Osborn? You're the one who started it."
Harriet shook her head, pretending to be surprised. "Is that so? Why don’t I know that? Do you have evidence?" She leaned closer to me with a smug smile on her face. "You lost this time, Wanda."
Lost?
"Did I lose? It's just some rumors. Do you think you're better than me, Miss Osborn? Don't forget, Theo is also on my side. So what did you win, Miss Osborn?"
I shrugged my shoulders and continued, "You let the public see an embarrassing side of you. I'm afraid your position as the number one supermodel won't last long."
"You!"
In the next second, Harriet switched up, putting on a delicate and pitiful expression. "President Lane, how could you say that about me? I only finally got the title of the number one supermodel with so much work. I didn't send the reporter either. It's not my fault that he posted everything online."
I knew Theo must have arrived when I heard her voice.
He went to drive the car over, and that should not take long.
Sure enough, Theo appeared in front of my eyes.
Among the long list of negative comments, a positive comment suddenly caught my attention. [I think there is another reason for this. Media loves spreading rumors nowadays.]
This comment was fair.
Their username was ‘The Leaves Are Not Green.’
What a weird name.
Still, I had to thank them.
There were many people taking a neutral stance under that comment, but Harriet's huge fan base still accounted for the majority.
I felt a face approach and was startled. "What are you doing?"
A chuckle made its way to Theo's magnified handsome face. "Didn't you say you weren't going to read the comments?"
"I’m bored. I'm just looking through them casually. Look at this. The Leaves Are Not Green spoke up for me."
"There are bound to be people who are still rational."
