Felix’s fans were relatively rational, but there were too many troublemakers among them. Moira was dragged into the third spot on the trending list, and surprisingly, the news around Claire and Alfie’s affair dropped significantly.
It was Moira’s first time experiencing such a big commotion, and she felt a bit overwhelmed.
Given Felix’s special status, she didn’t dare to speak recklessly. Just as she was about to call Felix and ask how to handle the situation, she received a few screenshots from Barclay.
Barclay: [Shouldn’t you explain?]
Barclay knew about the news now.
Moira felt a bit flustered for a moment but quickly regained her composure. After all, she hadn’t done anything wrong, just helping out a friend while
making some extra money.
Moira: (Mr. Covington, it’s not what you think. Felix and I are just friends. He asked me to record accompaniment for his new album over two months ago, and I went to do that today. Don’t worry, Felix will handle this matter quickly, and it won’t affect your reputation. But this all happened because of me, and it may have caused you some trouble. I’m really sorry! Can you forgive me!]
Barclay: [No]
Moira trembled nervously and didn’t know how to reply.
Moira: Then how can I make it up to you?
Moira stared at the screen, but several seconds passed, and she still hadn’t received Barclay’s reply.
At the top of the phone, it said “Typing…” She pursed her lips and decided to see what Barclay wanted.
She had to appease him now.
Barclay: Stop addressing me so formally]
Moira: [So, il change the formal address, you won’t be angry anymore?
Barclay: [Yes.]
Moira breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was going to be a big request.
Barclay I’ll have Linden take down the trending topic.
Moira: Felix will take it down.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Barclay: [7]
Even though it was just over the phone, Moira could imagine the skeptical look on Barclay’s face, which made her feel uneasy.
Moira: [Then go ahead and take it down.
Barclay: [Okay.]
Moira: [Are you busy? I won’t bother you.
Barclay: [Are you busy?
Moira: [Not really, I mean, I think you’re busy, and I don’t have much going on here.

Moira wanted to end the conversation, but it seemed like Barclay didn’t want to.
She had no choice but to continue chatting. Is there something you want to know?]
Barclay: Are you close with Felix?]
Moira: [Not really, we’ve collaborated a few times, just in business.]
It was normal for Barclay to ask about it after this incident, and Moira didn’t think much of it.
Barclay: [Got it. Next time you have contact with him, let me know in advance, I’ll accompany you to avoid misunderstandings.)
Moira felt that Barclay was really considerate, but she felt it was troublesome. [Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you?
Barclay: [Compared to removing the trending topic, it’s not.]
Moira now realized that Barclay was being sarcastic towards her.
She threw her phone onto the table and didn’t want to reply anymore.
Maybe sensing her anger, Barclay sent her a message. Are you angry?]
Moira didn’t respond.

After waiting for two minutes, Barclay put down his phone and pressed the intercom, letting Linden in. “Linden, come in, the door’s unlocked,” he said.
As soon as Linden entered the office, he saw Barclay, the distinguished and aloof man, smiling
That indulgent smile made Linden shiver involuntarily. ‘Is Mr. Covington fine? he wondered.
