Brian glanced up, taking in the scene with a few quick sweeps of his eyes.

There it was, blazing across the homepage. It was the news about Gracia bullying a junior employee at

Heavenly Pastries, reigning over the trending charts in the number one spot.

“In just over thirty minutes, it’s hit the top, and the buzz is still climbing!” Reid murmured to him. casually

clicking on a video linked to the news article.

In the video, Gracia was imperious, a stark contrast to the demure image she usually cultivated.

Gracia had always been under the wings of the powerful Wright and Howard families. Any negative press

swiftly quashed, earning her the affectionate moniker of “National Sweetheart.”

But because negative comments were a rarity, Gracia’s two–

faced actions caught her fans off guard, causing such an intense stir that the word “crash” appeared next

to the server status.

“Deal with it,” Brian ordered, frowning after a brief look.

Davis wouldn’t want to see this sort of thing.

“But we can’t this time! The PR department jumped on it when it broke, but the servers were almost blowi

Howard, should we…?”

Natalie settled into the Ferrari, giving the man in the driver’s seat a playful look. “Why so free today?”

“King insisted I take good care of you. He said if you were missing even a strand of hair, it’d be my head

Natalie’s lips curled into a slight smile at the mention of King.

“When are you heading back?” Gavin asked, glancing at her.

“Depends on how my grandfather is doing.” Natalie replied thoughtfully.

“King and Nina must miss you terribly.” Gavin raised an eyebrow.

Natalie fell silent. Gavin always teased her about her relationship with King, but deep down, she knew bet

Gavin dropped her off at the apartment building and handed her the access card before attempting to

accompany her upstairs.

“No need. With your

special profile, it’s easy to recognize you. I can manage on my own.” Natalie stopped him. She went up w

As she stepped out of the bathroom, drying her hair, she moved toward the laptop on the bed. Out of the c
