When the neighbor, Jenica, called to apologize to me, I was lost in thought as I looked at the heavy rain outside the window.
"Oh no! I did something bad out of kindness. The netizens scolded you..."
"Scarlett, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect it either."
The little girl's anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
Stunned, I comforted her.
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry. I won't blame you."
She had longed felt sorry for me and wanted to stand up for me several times.
But I stopped her.
A man who should leave could not be held back.
I turned on my cell phone and checked the trending searches on Twitter.
The first three ranked as below.
#Realistic CEO'S novel finally updated!#
#Eileen is chosen as the female lead#
#Will Eileen's husband really show up?#
Four other trending searches trailed behind.
They were all related to me.
However, it was all curses.
#Who is Scarlett Reid#
#The Clown from the CEO's novel#
#What does it feel like to pretend to be a socialite?#
#A woman who failed to live up to the investors' expectations#
Each topic targeted different angles.
The netizens were scolding me as best as they could.
