#LyraViviana and #HanEntertainment were trending along with #HTT.
Viviana's fame was taking a new turn in the industry. The hash voices that were shouting out for her boycott lessened. A new set of voices who were speaking up for her appeared.
And those who had not heard of her looked her up in the search engine and entered into a whole new wormhole of controversies surrounding the actress. With the Rojanta Gleen's case being brought up, the case solving enthusiast began digging up every single moment and every scandal, interview and newsletters related to the actress.
And the Han Entertainment began to face multiple accusations about mistreatment of Viviana. People were questioning the work ethics of the management company and her agent, not forgetting to compare the resources that Viviana got to what Lyra's. Not to mention the difference in treatments between the two artists who were under the same agent.
And An Mey, seeing this couldn't be more satisfied. No one would ever find out that the person behind JaKnJil was her cousin. It just happened that her cousin didn't know that she was in charge of Viviana before. And after she found out, she called and asked her about how Viviana was.
Like how her cousin didn't know about her job, An Mey too didn't know that her younger cousin was a critic with a reasonable following. After the two came clean, An Mey used her relation and asked her to upload a post.
And the result couldn't be more successful than this. The manager jeered. The same tactic they had used to elevate Lyra's reputation, she used the same to bring her down.
"Sister Vivi…This is so amazing. People are really praising you…"
Elisa could not hide her excitement. Since her first day of work with Viviana and even before, she had never seen any positive remarks about her boss anywhere. And for the first time, she saw people standing up for her.
And she had never known that her boss had many fans before. She even saw many short reels popping up on Lounge*. They were edited so well that Viviana's charisma was just radiating from the screen.
Elisa then looked at the woman whose eyes were stuck on her phone. But she couldn't see any sign of excitement on her face. It was as though everything that was happening wasn't even about her.
The little assistant then obviously felt down that Viviana was not sharing the same excitement that she was feeling. So she inquired,
"Sister Viv… Aren't you excited at all? People are really praising you. They're expressing their love for you… you… You have many fans now…"
"Umm…" The actress hummed at her. "I am…" She answered.
Her voice was low. Her eyes were still on her phone.
Indeed. Viviana was excited. More than ever… It's that she was in a state of disbelief herself. She was reading every comment and every post about her.
[I've always thought that Viviana is a great actor. I've watched all of the four released dramas and the one that was still airing. And all the roles she took up, although they were of similar types, she executed all of them well.]
[It's pretty clear that Viviana is being typecasted. Everyone just began calling her villainess in real life as if they know her personally. It's clearly the company's fault for not providing her the correct script and letting her be type casted.]
[Remember people. If you hate a villain in a movie so much… the person is a great actor…]
She was used to people cursing at her. Calling out for her boycott. She was not used to some strangers from different ends of the internet standing up for her. And there were also those…
[I finally get to show my love for my darling. Vivi love… I've saved a lot of pictures and clips in my laptop… And I used to feel sad that I can only appreciate you alone… Now there is no need to keep them to myself…]
[Bro or sis up there. Release all of them right now….]
There was even a group that came out. The group uploaded a screenshot with a post that said.
[Before. We had to hide our existence and meet up in the group. Never talked about it in public, to anyone. It was as though we were a part of a cult. Now… We have no need to fear!!!!
As the group leader, I proclaim 'Fiery Fanatics' to be officially the fans of Viviana!!!]
There were many who commented on the post, expressing their love for her… Never had she ever dreamed that there would be so many fans of her who would confess their love for her…
Her chest felt heavy. It was a noble feeling. No matter how deep she took in her breath, it seemed like her lung could never be filled. The tightness in her chest and stomach… She was not used to it. But it was not a bad feeling.
Elisa was able to read her feeling. But Manager An could guest what was going on the actress's head. She sat in front of the girl.
"Not so bad, ain't it?"
"…"
It took Viviana a few seconds to get what the older woman meant. Then she smirked a little as she replied.
"Yeah…"
"Vivi. You might think that this is not the right time. But I want to have a serious talk with you." An Mey revealed her intention.
Viviana, unlike the last time, didn't reject the approach. The actress took her eyes off the phone and turned to the manager as she kept the gadget away. This made Manager An even more brave. Seeing that she got Viviana's attention, she began
"We have personally known each other for only a few months. But these few months had brought us close. Yet there's a lot I don't know about you. Like… What did you do before joining the company? Why did you join the company?"
