“But are we just going to let them slander you online?” Jimmy was still frustrated.
“The trending topic has been taken down. Even if they continue discussing, they won’t get
far. Something new will replace it in awhile, and today’s discussions will be forgotten,”
Cynthia replied, maintaining her cool
Jimmy wanted to say more, but Cynthia decided to end the call. She asked him not to
worry too much. Given her father’s interest in social media, he would not know about this
short–lived trend. However, just because he did not know did not mean no one would tell
him, like her cousin, Kendrick
“President, this is a trending topic from today. Would you like to take a look?” Lionel Tom

his workload, he could finally take abreak. During the holiday, he needed to discuss with
Cynthia about taking over the Yates Group next year. He had been managing it for her for
so long. It was about time he got a break, was it not?
Lionel, who know about Cynthia’s identity, held the tablet out and added, “The trending
topic is related to the young lady.”
Kendrick paused. “Cyn?” He stopped what he was doing and took the tablet. When he saw
the headline about a 200 million divorce, he frowned with puzzlement and disbelief.
Kendrick exploded after reading a part of it, his anger flaring “Can’t these people watch
their words?

rage simmering within him that threatened to explode. “Suppose she was just an ordinary
girl; it’s not fair to her to form assumptions and place labels based on one’s own
speculation without understanding the truth, is it?”
Lionel maintained his good behavior, understanding that the president was not to be
trifled with when he was angry.
“Call a press conference immediately,” Kendrick commanded decisively. His first reaction
was to publicize Cyn’s identity. He was infuriated, unable to stand the wild speculations
about his precious younger sister. It was as if they thought she had no one to protect her.
“Go now.”

“Do you have a solution?” he queried.
Lionel dared not make hasty suggestions. “No,” he admitted:
Kendrick sighed.
“However, the trending topic has been removed. It seems Ms. Cynthia has had it handled.”
Kendrick checked for himself and found it to be true. Supporting his head in his hands, he
thought for a while before making a decision. “You can leave now. I’ll go find Cyn. Don’t
bother coming to the company for the next few days; go home for the
New Year
Most of the other employees at the Yates Group had already taken their leave. However,
as the president’s secretary, Lionel had to stay as long as Kendrick had work to be done.
Luckily, he finally got to take his leave now.
