I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 534 - 532: An Awesome Man (1)

"Vera, we’re in trouble!" Merlin Bradley rushed anxiously to her door, grabbed the edge of the table, darted back to close an open door, then returned to Vera’s desk and leaned over. "You...you’ve been exposed!"

Exposed?

Exposed doing what?

Vera looked puzzled and reached out to grasp Merlin’s arm.

"Merlin, don’t panic. Take it slow and tell me what’s going on?"

"On the internet, on the phone..." Merlin caught her breath. "Oh, and on Facebook...let’s just say, the whole world now knows you’re the second female lead in "Flame", and...and they’ve also said that you had a clash with the main female lead, Irene Spencer..." She raised her phone, swiped the screen a few times, then handed it to Vera.

"See...there are even photoshopped pictures!"

Vera leaned in to take a look. Indeed, there was a photo on the screen.

The photo seemed to be taken secretly from a distance; the angle wasn’t very good. It was a side profile of the two women. Still, you could tell that Irene was soaked, and Vera stood in front of her, holding a cup with an angry look on her face.

Vera chuckled upon seeing this.

"I have to say, I am quite photogenic, aren’t I?"

"You’re laughing at this!" Merlin was on the verge of tears. "Now the whole world knows, what are you going to do?"

Vera shrugged helplessly. "Merlin, it’s not that I don’t care, but...there’s no point panicking after the fact, is there?"

In reality, she knew that this day would come from the moment she signed on to this show.

In today’s society, information spreads like wildfire. With everyone owning a mobile phone, a single photo or Facebook post can quickly become viral.

Moreover, she could no longer keep a low profile from the moment she replaced Maggie Clarke. Only because Kris Cooper had been suppressing it did this news remain hidden for so long.

She had received word from Kris Cooper just before seeing this news, so naturally, she wasn’t surprised at all!

Such matters can’t be kept under wraps forever, and as Kris Cooper’s fiancée, Vera was inevitably in the public eye. Keeping a low profile was difficult.

"So..." Merlin edged closer to her. "Is the news...true?"

Vera glanced at the screen, scrolled down, and read the text.

The news content wasn’t entirely accurate. Saying that Irene was "jealous" and "seducing Kris Cooper", and was "weeping bitterly" was a bit of an exaggeration. However, it did manage to recount the events of yesterday evening without any false narrative.

"It’s somewhat true."

Upon hearing that, Merlin’s eyes filled with admiration.

"Vera, you rock!" Merlin gave her a thumbs-up. "I tell you, I loathe mistresses the most. Beautifully done! In dealing with this sort of people, you have to be as cold and ruthless as winter, or else they may become more audacious next time!"

Vera chuckled, handing the phone back to her.

"Have you completed the spreadsheet I asked you to?"

"Of course, wait, let me get it for you!"

With work mentioned, Merlin immediately became serious and walked out to get the spreadsheet.

Vera then sat down on a chair, let out a long sigh, and moved her mouse to open a news site.

Naturally, the headlines were all about her.

"Revealing the Mysterious Second Female Lead of "Flame""

"The Past Life and Current Life of the Nation’s Boyfriend’s Mysterious Girlfriend"
