Warm Married Life: Mr. President Loves His Darling Wife

Chapter 487 - 486: Refusal

Bella Acker’s body tensed for a moment, and she said softly, "It’s nothing, it’s just a cold. Some cold medicine will do."

Cynthia Young’s eyes were sharp as ever, and she saw right through her, "What’s wrong?"

"N-nothing." Bella shook her head.

"If it’s nothing, why are you wearing sunglasses in the office? Is it the incandescent office lights are too strong?" Cynthia sighed and said, "I’m your agent, which means I am basically your work nanny in many respects. Only by truly understanding your physical and personal situation can I better arrange work for you. I also believe there should be absolute trust between us."

"Ms. Young, don’t misunderstand. I do trust you." Bella explained, waving her hand, and hesitated for a moment before removing her sunglasses.

Cynthia saw her swollen, red eyes and instantly frowned, "Is it a personal issue, or a relationship issue?"

Bella found it hard to speak, but seeing her expression, Cynthia already understood.

Cynthia didn’t wait for her to answer and continued, "Alright, I got it. Quickly adjust your mood, don’t let it affect your work. Now let’s talk about another matter." She said, opening the tablet and handing it over.

Bella took the tablet in confusion, frowning as soon as she saw the picture, she said, "It’s already been clarified that Archer Quinn and I are just friends, yet some people are still making up stories."

"These are photos uploaded by ordinary netizens," Cynthia said, "The angle of the shots is quite good—it shows Archer Quinn getting injured trying to save you."

"Yes. At the time, it was indeed Senior Quinn who pushed me away and saved me." Bella said, "He’s still in the hospital now."

"I know, Archer Quinn’s agent has contacted me." Cynthia nodded, officially stated, "His agent also suggested that we could use this incident to stir up some rumors about a fake romance between you and Archer Quinn. There’s no need to make any specific statement online or clarify anything—let netizens come up with their own stories."

"Do we really have to fabricate such a romance?" Bella only wanted her work to speak for itself and didn’t want to go down the road of concocted publicity.

"Not necessarily." Cynthia said, "Personally, I don’t approve of female celebrities using such means to gain popularity, but right now, this is indeed a quick way to gain attention for you. Even if it fades away afterward, your work will be released soon, and it can have a greater effect. I have negotiated with Archer Quinn’s agent that if we were to concoct a romance, it should be presented as Archer Quinn pursuing you as the selling point, thus avoiding attracting too many haters. But I left a second option open, stating we’ll proceed only with your consent. I know you have a boyfriend, and the matter of managing your relationship is important. If you are unwilling to fabricate a fake romance to draw attention, we can refuse."

"Last night, Senior Quinn’s agent also talked to me about it. He mentioned there are negative rumors online about Senior Quinn being gay, and hoped I could help." Bella felt a bit troubled.

She wanted to help Archer Quinn, but worried this would bring more misunderstandings to her relationship with Damian. After all, things were already so tense between her and Damian, and she couldn’t even find him to explain if she wanted to.

"You don’t need to bother about those rumors online, he’s deceiving you." Cynthia stated directly, "Since you’re unwilling, we’ll turn down this collaboration."
