Mr. Ferguson Paying for a Trending Topic
Early in the morning, daylight spilled in through the curtains and cast a soft glow on the floor.
Nicole ate a simple breakfast and went to the office. J&L Corporation’s project was already on track, so
there was no need for daily progress checks.
Nicole had to start preparing for another real estate development project. When she arrived at the
office, she browsed the internet for the latest trending topics.
The netizens were split into two camps. One camp was shipping Nicole and Kai, while the other camp
supported Nicole and Fabian. It was surprising that people were so eager to participate in this poll.
While a small number of people forcefully added Nicole and Eric to the poll, this pairing was lagging
way behind the other two pairings.
‘Haha! The netizens are perceptive enough to know that my name and Eric Ferguson’s name are
incompatible and absolutely should not be put together!’ Logan watched from the side and carefully
proposed.
“President, should we take down these trending topics?” Nicole chuckled. “Nah, it’s just a harmless
game. It’s not like I’ll have to be with whoever the masses like most…” ‘How can I be a couple with Kai
anyway? If we disclose our real relationship, I’m afraid it’ll cause a stir!’ Logan nodded and left after
reporting his work.
Ferguson Corporation.
Mitchell glanced at Eric out of the corner of his eye. He had never seen any president pay attention to
online gossip amidst their busy schedules.
Recently, Eric was extremely keen to read all of the comments online. From time to time, he would
even reply to them… ‘Does he not know that he doesn’t have a good image online…?’ Mitchell thought
to himself and dared not say it out loud.
Eric sneered at the two other pairings with Nicole and was incredibly vexed. ‘How are Kai and Fabian
even worthy to be compared to me?! Their popularity is even higher than mine? The netizens’ tastes
this time round are horrible!’ Eric fiercely threw the tablet he was holding on the desk.
His body was emitting a terrifying chill. Mitchell caught a glimpse of that webpage and instantly
understood. ‘It’s related to Nicole again… No wonder…’ ) “President, should I get them to remove this
trending topic? It’s such a shame…” Mitchell suggested. Eric stared at him coldly for a few seconds.
“The face of Ferguson Corporation can’t lag behind those two people. Understand?” His voice was
extremely cold, and his eyes were dark. Mitchell froze for a few seconds. His brain seemed to be stuck
for a moment before he finally answered, “Yes, I understand.
I’ll immediately hire people to push up the popularity of your pairing with Ms. Stanton!” 3 After working
for Eric for so long, it was not difficult for Mitchell to understand what Eric wanted.
Eric opened a document in silence, signed his name smoothly, then handed it to Scanned with
CamScanner Mitchell “Go and get to work.” “Yes, sir.” ‘He agreed?! What in the world? Is he paying too
much attention to Ms. Stanton …?’ Mitchell thought. In less than an hour, the poll online turned into a
three-way battle.
It was really surprising. Nicole and Eric’s pairing surprisingly skyrocketed in popularity and soon
surpassed Kai and Fabian. In Nicole’s group chat.
Yvette could not wait to share the tidbits of information she got. (Yvette Quimbey: I heard from an
influencer that Nicole and Eric’s pairing is actually bought out by Ferguson Corporation! Hahaha! Is Eric
Ferguson sick in the head?) (Julie Nixon: Wow… I’ve really seen everything now… ) [Ian Carter:
OMG!!! Why is my name not on there?! Don’t I deserve a slot?!] (Nicole Stanton: He’s defos on crack.)
‘Eric Ferguson must be crazy!’ Nicole thought.
She originally did not want to participate in this little fun, but once Eric intervened, she could not let it go
on. ( Nicole called Logan and instructed,” Remove that trending topic. I don’t care how much Eric
Ferguson paid.
We’ll pay double.” Logan did as instructed and did not dare to delay for another second.
Just as it came out of the blue, this online buzz inexplicably disappeared. Some people wanted to talk
about it, but they could no longer find any traces of the Eric heard this and did not have any reaction.
He just said expressionlessly, “Alright.”
