Lexi jumped when she heard Janet’s voice behind her.

She panicked and tried stashing her phone away, then acted like nothing had happened. “Boss, hi, what are you doing. here? Everything’s fine. I’m fine.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Janet wasn’t one to be fooled. Lexi’s eyes told her everything she needed to know. She walked forward and asked, “What are you hiding from me, Lexi?”

Lexi realized she would not be able to hide the truth, so she hung her head low and told Janet how her design was being criticized and mocked on the internet all of a sudden.

Janet’s frown deepened as she listened. Lexi finished speaking and she stood still, not saying a single word.

It came to Lexi that Janet was too upset to speak, so she hurriedly tried to comfort her, “Boss, I must say your design styles are absolutely stunning. The people criticizing your design styles are simply too ignorant to appreciate it. They make judgments about fashion without truly understanding its essence.

Plus, we can simply ask Mr. Larson to handle these haters. I can call Sean right now and have the Larson Group’s legal team sue them for this.

Janet reached out and held Lexi’s hand. “Don’t. It’s alright,” she said. “I don’t want to have to depend on Brandon to consistently handle my problems for me. I can deal with this myself.’

“But…” Lexi couldn’t help but remain worried. To Lexi, Janet was a sweet, gentle person. It was easy for people like her to be victims to cyber bullying.

While Lexi was still deep in thought, Janet’s phone rang. It was Brandon.

The instant the call connected, Brandon’s worried voice came from the other end.

“Are you alright, Janet? I saw what people are saying online. It’s clear that someone paid money to have you be made fun of on the Internet. I’m going to have someone deal with the whole thing immediately.”

Janet had a smile on her face as she said, “No. It’s fine. I want them to continue to talk.” Brandon was taken aback. “What? Why? They’re slandering your name and business, this isn’t a good thing.”

Janet’s voice sounded devious as she responded,

“You’ll find out why in a couple of days.’ Time went by and the hate only increased. It got so much that statements and posts mocking Janet crashed the studio’s official website and the bullying escalated to personal attacks against her.

Brandon’s heart was in pieces and his head was full of rage as he watched his wife get attacked so mercilessly.

They got home that night and Janet saw Brandon sitting on the sofa with a crestfallen expression. She gave him a playful smile and said, “Who’s makingmy dear husband so angry?” Brandon found it difficult to stay angry in the face of Janet’s gentle smile.

He sighed helplessly and pulled Janet into his arms, his voice soft as he said, “I know you want to use this to publicize the studio, but I don’t think it’s the best. I don’t like you getting slandered like this just to save a little promotion cost.”

Janet’s heart warmed at her husband’s concern for her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled slyly as she said, “It’s alright. I have a plan. Once the studio has gotten enough publicity, I’ll stop.”

Brandon sighed and heaved helplessly in the face of Janet’s positivity. “I know you’re very capable. I regret it now.” Janet was confused. “What do you regret?”

Brandon nuzzled in Janet’s neck, taking in her fragrance. He said in a muffled voice, “I regret making that agreement with you. If I hadn’t demanded your studio make profit within eight months, visit ninja novel.com you wouldn’t be working so strenuously.

Why would you subject yourself to online criticism just to save a few bucks on advertising?”

Janet pushed Brandon from her slightly and cupped his face. She looked at him, her eyes filled with love and determination.

“This isn’t your fault. Even if we’d had no such agreement, I would still use this as promotion anyway.” Her tone was gentle yet firm.

As Janet spoke, Brandon’s anger dissipated slowly.

He gave Janet a soft kiss and said, his voice much calmer, “Alright, please enlighten me then, Miss White. Why must you utilize this bullying tactic? If you don’t explain it to me, I’ll be up all night worrying and won’t get to sleep.”

A devious smile formed on Janet’s face and her eyes glistened with confidence. Her voice was firm when she spoke. “I believe in my skills, and I also believe people on the internet have good reasoning. It doesn’t matter how harshly I am criticized now, with how good my work is, it would speak the truth for me very soon!”
