Chapter: 563
She hesitated for a moment, “Are… are you absolutely certain you’re into girls?”
“Of course!” Tyler sounded a touch defensive. “I’m one hundred percent sure I’m attracted to girls. Plus,
Cole doesn’t like boys either. He tried to date Selene before.
It’s just him messing around, which is seriously annoying.”
“That’s a relief. Anyway, all those things on the Internet are fake. Don’t pay attention to them. Now, the
most important thing is to focus on your movie and prepare for the shooting. I’ll take care of everything
else.” Ariana felt a sense of relief as she heard his words.
Having reassured Tyler, she hung up the call and called Francis next.
“Mr. Salazar, after giving it some thought, we’ve decided not to accept the last-minute change to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtending. As per our contract, Tyler will allot three days to film the original script and won’t partake in any
additional arrangements.”
Ariana didn’t beat around the bush. She trusted that Francis would grasp her intentions.
Sure enough, Francis got anxious. “Ariana, would you reconsider? The pairing of Tyler and Cole is
creating quite a buzz. If we change the ending to accommodate their pairing, it will undoubtedly attract
a huge fanbase.”
“Mr. Salazar, Tyler is not interested in being part of a coupling. He is solely focused on his acting
career.” Ariana’s resolve was unshakeable. If Tyler’s fame hinged solely on a pairing with Cole, it would
be a disaster. She wouldn’t permit Cole to leverage this for his own popularity.
“Alright. Please inform Tyler to prepare for the final scenes in the coming days.”
Francis had no choice but to back down due to the contractual obligations and Ariana’s influential
background.
Although he didn’t say anything harsh, he harbored a sense of grudge. It was clear Ariana had foiled
his chances of making more profit. Even after disconnecting the call, he was still upset.
“| did tell you she wouldn’t agree.” Jasper, comfortably sitting in a leather armchair, sounded overly
confident. “Maybe it’s time you gave my proposal a thought, Mr. Salazar?”
Ariana spent the entire afternoon browsing the Internet, attempting to clarify that Tyler wasn’t interested
in boys and that his relationship with Cole was solely professional. However, she was overwhelmed by
the persistent shippers.
Shortly after, Betsy also joined the online fray. The two of them even established a separate fan group
solely for Tyler, already boasting twenty members.
Their numbers may have been small, but each had multiple alternate accounts –
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBetsy alone had over ten. Meaning, they had over a hundred accounts collectively, and they stood their
ground fiercely against the shipper onslaught.
By evening, however, all their accounts were flagged for disrupting the online community.
Biting the bread angrily, Ariana cursed in her heart and shut down the computer.
“Ariana, it’s useless. We’ll have to escalate this to the company.” Betsy’s face turned red as she
passionately declared with a decorative sign on her forehead that read “Win for sure”. It was clear that
she was still caught up in her emotions and hadn’t yet calmed down enough to argue rationally.
“I’ve forwarded the request to our public relations team, but it’s yet to get a nod.”
Removing a similar bandana from her forehead, Ariana rose from her chair, her legs protesting from the
prolonged sitting. “Enough for today. We’ll revisit this tomorrow.
