"Stephanie! You lied to your fans! Why didn't you admit that you were in love?" The fans below the stage questioned angrily, and then she was hit by something below.
Stephanie stood on the stage blankly, letting the egg yolk slide down from her hair to her face. The assistant beside her screamed, and a security guard rushed to the stage to protect her to go backstage. It was so noisy. Stephanie covered her ears and felt that she was going crazy.
"Are you ok?" The assistant took a tissue and kept wiping her face.
Stephanie let go of her hand and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She saw the miserable appearance in the mirror. Her delicate makeup was blurred by the egg and her black hair was stained with sticky eggshells.
"I'll stop all your jobs now. You should have a rest at home for the next few days. We'll talk about it after the PR is done. I'll reject the other programs for you and get someone to take care of your Weibo. Don't go online. Just give yourself a break and take a rest."
She heard the agent was talking something to her, but when she looked back, she saw nobody in the bathroom but only her tragic face in the mirror.
"Stephanie, it's fine. I'll send you back." The assistant came over to hold her arm.
Stephanie shook her hand and said, "I want to take a shower."
The assistant was shocked. "Ah? Here? You can't take a shower here. Hold on and I'll take you to the hotel."
"I want to take a shower." Stephanie looked at her and said word by word, "Take a shower."
The assistant ran to negotiate with the cleaner for a long time and took a construction sign to block the door of the bathroom. Then she locked the door and took a bucket of hot water to wash the eggshell on her head.
Stephanie cried quietly in the water.
"Don't cry. It's not your fault. We should blame that follower. He couldn't do this to you! Many people are looking for him on Weibo. Everyone is scolding him..."
"Give me the phone." Stephanie reached out to her.
"But Anna said..." The assistant hesitantly covered her bag.
"Give it to me." Stephanie looked at her. Her eyes were red, and she looked pitiful.
The assistant opened her bag and handed the phone over.
Stephanie logged into her Weibo account and posted:
Yes, we live together.
The assistant shouted, "Stephanie, you are crazy! Don't be silly! You didn't even discuss it with Anna before you sent this..."
"Tell her that I quit." Stephanie stood up and wiped the water off her body. "I will pay for the liquidated damages. Tear up the contract and give me freedom."
The assistant was stunned. "Stephanie, don't scare me... Other stars have also encountered this before. Don't be so pessimistic. Everyone will still love you when it's gone. Your next movie will be on soon. Anna said you can win an award with this movie! Don't be so passive over such a thing!"
"I'm not suitable for this." Stephanie looked at her and said, "I didn't belong here. This is just one accident of all. Today I was suspected of cohabiting with my boyfriend. Then I will be accused of cheating or something I can't bear in the future. They threw eggs at me today, maybe they might hurt me tomorrow! My grandfather is surfing the Internet now. He is old and he can't bear these things. I don't want him to live very carefully in fear in the future."
"But Stephanie, what are you going to do? You are still young. You will be better in this industry in the future. You can't give up now. You can rest for two years and start from the beginning after that." The assistant cried, "Are you going to give up your future? You still have unlimited possibilities! We said we were going to get three titles of movie queens."
Stephanie put on her clothes and slowly dried her hair. Then, she looked back at her assistant and said, "Wipe your tears and help me fix my makeup."
She said, "I don't want to be so ugly for my last show."
The assistant sobbed.
The news that Stephanie had been smashed in the face by a male fan had been cancelled, but it was still hot on Weibo and everyone was discussing it. The video of the live broadcast was gone, but the topic was still there. Many people were leaving messages for the follow-up. Stephanie's loyal fans were still claiming that she was in love and cohabiting. However, when Stephanie posted on Weibo, it was directly pushed to the peak.
Yes, we live together.
Many fans were still crying and shouting on her Weibo.
"That's impossible! Stephanie was forced by you! She is not in love at all! She is just hurt by her fans. You don't understand at all!"
"Have you forgotten that she wanted to jump off a building to suicide? She was suffering from serious depression in the past! Why don't you let her go?"
"Yes, don't follow her if you don't like her! Why do you hurt her like this?! I want to ask you, that male fan. It's none of your business even if Nana is in love. Did she say she wanted to be with you? Did she cheat on you?"
"I don't care what Stephanie is like, I love her! I hope everyone loves her! She is the best artist I have ever seen, and she is so real! She is even nice to the assistants and the people around her! I beg you not to follow this topic anymore, okay? She must be in pain now, and she needs time to heal herself."
"Stephanie! We all support you! We love you forever!"
Stephanie came out of the company's conference room with a contract after staying there for three whole hours. The assistant was crying sadly, and the agent was not happy.
S walked to the window and took a deep breath of free air.
She was crazily called by various entertainment companies, her friends in this industry, newspaper reporters, and also Emily.
"What's going on?" Emily asked after Stephanie answered the call.
"It's nothing. It has already been resolved." Stephanie said, "I'm free now."
Emily was probably the only person who wouldn't tell her that it was a pity. She congratulated her on the phone, "That's great. You can play around in the future."
Stephanie said with a smile, "Yes, I don't need to wear sunglasses and masks when I go out in the future."
Stephanie hung up the phone after a while and drove back to the hotel to pack her luggage. There were not many things. After packing up, she sent a message to her assistant that she could keep the rest if she liked or just threw them away.
Then she checked out and drove alone back to the Hump Village with all her luggage.
She saw Spencer busying himself in the field from afar. Just as she was about to get out of the car, she saw the man with a face full of gauze handing water to him. Then, he took the tools from Spencer and worked on the ground.
A live-in boyfriend?
Stephanie sighed. She just retired like a drowned rat for this stranger.
She should have retired after receiving the movie queen awards, not like this.
"Why are you here today?" Spencer walked over.
Stephanie was stunned. Didn't her grandfather read the news?
She turned her head to look at the man working on the ground and met his gaze. She felt that his eyes were very familiar.
"Give me a break and rest for two years." Stephanie said to Spencer, "Then I have time to accompany you as well, and you can enjoy yourself."
"Are you serious? That's good for taking a holiday. You can have a good rest. Your job is too tiring. You look so weak." Spencer said with a smile.
"Yes, I mean it. My luggage is all here." Stephanie said as she pointed at the trunk.
Spencer said happily and called Harold, "Hurry up, help her move her luggage down."
