Chapter 89
Chapter 89 Just Trust Me
When I was puzzled, the phone that I had tossed aside rang again.
Shannon quickly grabbed my phone and eximed, “Ah, Nichs! It’s Nichs!”
I angrily snatched my phone from her hand. This girl goes crazy every time she sees Nichs’ name.
It was obvious as to why he called.
Jeez. This is really Murphy’sw. And everything happens so rapidly.
Nichs. Oh, Nichs. I sullied the reputation that you’ve maintained for years. I’m such a sinner.
“Liliana, are you all right?”
His concerns for me made me feel even more remorseful.
“I’m okay. Nichs, I’m sorry for causing such rumors.” I felt uneasy.
“Haha.” Nichs wasn’t worried one bit. Instead, heughed. “No pressure. It’s an opportunity to
promote the new drama. Besides, it’s not bad press.”
I didn’t know how to react. With him and Scarlett being part of the drama, there was no need to rely on
these rumors to attract attention, not to mention, The Wind And Cloud already had enough publicity.
Therefore, I treated those words as sympathy from him.
“I’m serious. You’ve been famous for many years and were never involved in any scandal. But because
of me… Nichs, if you need me to rify, I will not refuse.”
“It’s not as bad as you think. Rest early. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Nichs sounded calm andposed.
“Okay.” I opened my mouth and wanted to say more, but I agreed in the end.
“Liliana,” When I was about to hang up the phone, Nichs called out my name again.
“What?”
“Just trust me. Good night.”
This time, Nichs hung up the phone for real. I remained puzzled with my face flushed and my heart
beating uncontrobly.
This scenario and conversation. It’s like being in a TV series.
“Liliana, what did Nichs say?” Shannon nudged me, trying to be nosy.
“it’s nothing. He just told me not to worry about it.”
I tried to brush her off then reached for the tablet and scrolled to the bottom of thements section.
All sorts of insults were hurled at me. It was also my first time seeing such a rich vocabry of
profanity. What an experience!
To sum it up, I only had one thing in my mind. I’d better know my ce and not leap for the moon, lest I
get struck down.
I put the tablet on my nket and nted my head in my pillow. This is injustice. I’ve been wronged!
There was one thing that I didn’t understand. Nichs had many fans and he was considered a national
treasure. I could ept it if everyone insulted me because of him. But why were there many people
defending Dominic as well? He was just a designer with a bit of money. How could he weigh up to
Nichs?
And why did the person despicable enough to spread the rumor leave out Camille instead of covering the
entire story? If she were in it, I would not be in such a tight spot.
While I was thinking about Camille, I remembered the inexplicable phone calls from Dominic. He couldn’t
have called me just because of what he saw on Twitter, could he?
If that was the case, then I’m finished. What have I said to him? Dinner with a handsome guy? Talking
about our ideals in life?
This is frustrating… I covered my head with the pillow, feeling very depressed.
My phone rang again. Not expecting a reporter to be calling me, I was bombarded with a series of
questions as soon as I answered the call. I almost passed out and hurriedly hung up the phone.
Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. My phone continued to ring since then without stopping. It
was about to explode.
They were all unknown numbers. As soon as I disconnected one call, another one came in. In the end, I
was forced to shut off my phone.
I was terrified. The news was trending only a few moments ago and so many people had already found
out about my phone number.
I could not help but worry about my parents and Lou. They might be harassed, too!
I used Shannon’s phone to call my family. Fortunately, nothing was out of the ordinary.
I did not sleep well that night. I kept having the sensation that my phone was ringing and I was about to
feel sick.
I was still restless after waking up in the morning.

I sat on the bed and logged onto Twitter on the tablet while I waited for Shannon.
Yesterday’s headline was still there. It now had more than ten million retweets and thements section
was still on fire.
I could not do anything else other than let out a long sigh.
I was afraid to turn on my phone. I was traumatized by being bombarded with those annoying phone
calls but I also wanted to contact Nichs and tell him not to pick me up.
If hees over now and gets photographed again, it will definitely add more fuel to the fire.
“Liliana, Nichs said he has already entered the elevator. Go open the door.” Shannon stuck her head
out of the bathroom and yelled.
“What? You mean Nichs is already here?” I shockingly looked up toward the bathroom door.
“Yes. He sent me a WhatsApp message. He said your phone was off. Go open the door. I’ll be ready
soon.” Shannon’s voice echoed through the bathroom.
At this point, what else could I say?
I dragged my feet to open the door, only to see Nichs standing outside.
“Why are you here so early? I wanted to tell you not toe.” I moved aside to let him into the room and
closed the door.
Nichs smiled and said, “If I didn’te, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get out of the hotel
today.”
Initially, I did not understand what he meant. Suddenly, I had a thought and asked him faint-heartedly,
“Are there any reporters out there?”
He answered by calmly nodding with a smile.
I immediately burst into tears. With so many reporters around, he must have been photographed
entering the hotel!
I still remember the words thatizens used to curse me in thements section. Am I about to die a
miserable death?
Nichs seemed to have read my mind. He poked my head and said, “Don’t worry. I came in through the
VIP entrance. Nobody saw me.”
However, something felt off. “Nichs, I think you should leave. Shannon and I can drive overter.”
“Liliana, I told you that you just need to trust me.” Nichs held my shoulder and we looked at each
other in the eyes.
At that moment, Shannon wasing out of the bathroom. Simultaneously, there was a knock on the
door again.
