Chapter 368
A post quietly climbed to the top of the trending list.
The title was ‘Aria, Russell, and Olivia’s Drama‘.
“This plot is even more dramatic than any drama. Russell’s got the devoted male lead script, Olivia’s playing the classic villainess, and Aria’s totally the badass heroine.”
“So Aria must have a thing for Russell, right? Why else would a big shot like her go work as an assistant on set?”
“OMG, they’re so shippable!”
Everyone knew that Nebula Corp., the top film company from Masmubia, was casting for a movie in this country, so netizens were all well aware of who Russell was.
“Aria, Russell, I’ve already Photoshopped your marriage certificate. Here’s the pic attached. Just wire 330 thousand dollars to my account for the rights.”
Owen got up early. When he saw the trending notification, he froze.
‘Bullshit!‘ he thought, frowning.
Just as he was about to exit, the trending topic suddenly vanished without a trace.
“What’s going on?”
He searched the keywords and found another discussion thread.
‘Russell failed to console Aria at night, and may face a long chase to win her back.‘
‘She loves him, he loves her. But who does she really love?‘
Owen scrolled through the posts, finally piecing together what had happened, and even found a candid photo.
It was a shot of Russell looking at Aria.
But contrary to what everyone was saying, there was no affection in Russell’s eyes–only complexity and a hidden murderous intent.
Owen lowered his gaze. ‘Why would Russell want to hurt Aria?‘
‘Did they know each other before?‘
The information found was incomplete and possibly a mix of truth and falsehood.
Meanwhile…
In the hospital, Olivia flew into a rage and smashed her cup. “They’re talking absolute nonsense!”
She was clearly the official fiancee.
Russell only had her, so what was Aria supposed to be?
She’s not even qualified to be the other woman.
The bodyguard standing beside her barely dared to breathe. “Madam, the trending topic has already been taken down.”

As soon as Olivia heard that, the swung her legs off the bed and ordered, “Pack my things. I’m checking out now!
She cared far less about the trending scandal than about what fussell and Aria had talked about last night.
The hospital was just ten minutes from the set. She couldn’t wait another second.
“Aria’s here!”
As soon as Aria stepped onto the set, she could feel everyone’s eyes on her.
There was a low buzz of whispered gossip all around.
“Is what they’re saying on the trending topics true?”
“Of course it is. Just look at Aria. She’s obviously the real deal.”
“So now it’s unrequited love? Mr. Nicholson is pining after her but can’t have her?”
‘Trending topics? Unrequited love? What are they even talking about?‘ Aria thought.
She frowned, just as Vanessa messaged her.
[Go save us a seat on the bus. I’ll be there soon.]
Aria replied, [Okay] then headed to one of the buses and grabbed a window seat.
Not long after, Vanessa hurried over. “Aria…”
As Vanessa approached, a figure quickly slid into the seat next to Aria before she could get there.
It was Russell.
Instantly, the atmosphere on the bus turned subtle and tense.
Everyone’s eyes darted between the two of them, full of gossip.
Aria frowned slightly and whispered to Russell, “I was saving this seat for Vanessa.”
Russell turned, smirking. “First of all, I don’t see your name on it. And besides, I’m the one who paid for this whole damn bus. Any problem with that?”
He was so domineering.
The people who’d been watching couldn’t help but amaze, immediately pulling out their phones to gossip.
Vanessa was both speechless and helpless–even if she was annoyed, she couldn’t show it.
After all, the person who took her seat was her boss.
She forced a smile. “It’s fine, Mr. Nicholson. You sit.”
