Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 183

Elsa was comforted by her assurance, and she hung up feeling relieved.

After that conversation with Elsa, Natalia went straight to the set for Vicente.

As the director, Vicente could not go back to hotel to rest since there was still a lot of unfinished work on the set.

After a simple lunch, he was about to start working.

When Natalia found him, he was looking at the footage taken this morning and was surprised to see her.

"Hmm? I thought that I’ve told you to go back to the hotel and have a good rest. The shooting in the afternoon requires a lot of energy. You’d better not fall behind."

Natalia smiled, "That's all right, Mr. Langes. I want to talk to you about something."

Vicente noticed her difference and nodded.

"All right, let's go over there."

Then he led her to the temporary break room.

In the break room Vicente asked, "Well, what is it that you want to say?"

Natalia didn't say anything and just pulled out her phone to show him the trending topic on Twitter.

Vicente paused for a second. He took over the phone and looked carefully. When he saw the title and photos above, his face suddenly turned livid with anger.

“Bastard!” he put the phone on the desk and growled, “Who took those pictures? Who wrote that nonsense! Are they blind or what? I was drunk and you simply gave me a hand. And they turned this into a scandal? What are they up to?"

Natalia smiled and said, "Mr. Langes, don't bother about this nonsense. The person who took those pictures wants to tear me down. Unfortunately, she won't get what she wants."

Vicente looked at her, confused.

"Who on earth wants to do that? You’re just a newbie in this industry. Why would anyone go through all this trouble against you?"

Natalia raised her eyebrows. "Maybe... Just because she’s jealous?"

Vicente froze.

Natalia put her phone away and said calmly, "I'm telling you this because I want you to be prepared. Otherwise, if those reporters ask, you might not know anything. I know you don't use social media."

Vicente took a moment to finally realize what Natalia was trying to say.

“So... you don’t want me to get involved?”

Natalia nodded.

“"Don't worry. I'll take care of it and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Vicente shook his head in disapproval.

"No, though it doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it can have a great negative impact on you if you get it wrong. I'll make a public statement and find out who did this. Don't get yourself involved again."

Natalia stared at him and blinked.

"Why are you making a statement?"

Vicente wondered, "Why not?"

Natalia laughed, "It's a great opportunity to increase the popularity of this series. Someone even paved the way for us. Why throw it away? Let the buzz run. We don't have to make a statement because this will help us get publicity for the new show."

Vicente was completely puzzled.

"Aren't you afraid that people will believe it and think you got the part by dishonest means?"

Natalia looked at him and grinned.

"I heard that at the end of this month, the first promo will be released, right?"

Vicente paused and nodded. "Yes, but what’s that got to do with it?"
