Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 173

After Emma ran to the hotel lobby not far off, Trevor lifted his gaze and looked toward some bushes diagonally across from him, saying coldly, "Show yourself!"

A while later, a man walked shakily out of the bushes. There was a camera hanging from the man's neck, and he looked a little awkward.

By then, Trevor had lost all the gentleness he had shown in front of Emma. He had a terrifyingly dangerous aura about him as he silently stuck his hands in his pockets. The man's knees were already buckling at the sight.

"I-I didn't crouch here to take videos of you on purpose. I was aiming for a celebrity…" This man was a paparazzi who had stationed himself here a long time ago.

He never thought that instead of the celebrity he was waiting for, he managed to record someone prominent like Trevor.

Trevor ordered in a deep voice, "Give me your camera."

The journalist didn't dare protest as he obediently passed his camera over.

Trevor took the camera and studied its contents. He had been facing the direction of the journalist just now, so his face was clearly visible in the footage. Emma had her back to the man, and under the dim light, only her slender figure could be seen faintly.

As for the contents of the video, the journalist had begun recording when Trevor and Emma walked over to the spot and stood still.

With skilled hands, he retained only the footage from when he hugged Emma and kissed her, receiving a slap in return. Of course, he also retained his apology at the end.

When the journalist got his camera back, he checked it and asked Trevor in shock, "You didn't delete all of it?"

Trevor said half-heartedly, "You can share those."

"Huh?" The journalist thought he would delete everything and issue a warning.

He had already prepared for the worst and only wanted his camera to be safe. After all, Trevor had power and authority, and the journalist couldn't possibly offend him. The journalist never thought that Trevor would allow him to share it.

"I said you can share it, so go ahead. Quit the nonsense." With that, Trevor strode away with his long legs. When the journalist returned to his senses, he smiled happily.

He didn't get to record a celebrity, but he managed to record a prominent figure instead, and it was love-related news, which was even better.

However, shouldn't Trevor feel embarrassed for getting slapped? Also, he had voiced his apology clearly at the end; wasn't it too humble for him?

If this video was shared, how sure was Trevor that it wouldn't affect his image?

However, when the journalist remembered Trevor's commanding tone, he happily put his camera away.

Rich people really knew how to play this game, but that was none of his business. He just wanted some news he could share and ignite discussion.

The cold and reserved tycoon's request for a kiss was denied, and when he was slapped, he didn't even get angry, humbly begging for forgiveness instead.

This news would definitely be trending tomorrow. Fortunately, the girl's features weren't clear in the video, or Trevor's admirers would tear her apart.

His fans dreamed of hugging and kissing him, but this girl slapped Trevor for it. Wouldn't she be asking for trouble?

Meanwhile, Emma ran back to her room and slowly calmed herself down.

She hadn't had time to recover from Trevor's sudden appearance when the man began picking a fight with Wilson. After getting taken away by Trevor, she had another fight with him. She was thoroughly tired out from the night's events.

She called Wilson to assure him that she was fine and had returned to her room. Also, nothing happened between her and Trevor. After ending the call, Emma went to shower.

At first, Emma was even worried that Trevor would come and bother her again, but she soon realized

that he had given up. Thus, she quickly went to have a good night's rest.

After getting restful sleep, she woke up to a notification sound indicating that she had received a voice message from Susanna. Susanna was laughing boldly. "Hahahaha, I never thought that Trevor would look so embarrassing."

Emma was speechless.

She wondered what Susanna might be referring to, calling Trevor embarrassing and whatnot.

She hastily sent Susanna a message. 'What happened?' Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Susanna started a video call instead. "I thought that you'd still be in the dark about this. My dear Emma, congratulations for making it to the trending page again."

Emma was still lazing on the bed, and she immediately shot up when she heard what Susanna said. After all, she was traumatized from getting on the trending page before.

She wasn't a celebrity like Susanna and the rest, who would gain popularity from getting on the trending page. On the contrary, it would only terrify her.

Emma hadn't had time to ask what the news was when Susanna asked her, "Did Trevor go to Kingsford as well?"

Emma was confused. "Yes, how did you know?"

Susanna held back her laughter and said, "You're trending because of a video where he hugged and

tried to kiss you, but you slapped him. Then, he even apologized and admitted that it was his fault in the end."

"What?!" Emma almost jumped out of her bed.

Susanna was truly Emma's best friend, for she informed Emma right away by saying, "Don't worry, your face isn't clear in the video. You coincidentally had your back to the paparazzi, but Trevor's face is clearly shown in the video."

"You have no idea how much relief it brings me to see him apologize for what he did, hahaha—" As soon as Susanna finished speaking, she began laughing at Trevor again.

Emma rubbed her temples. This wasn't the time to be focusing on that! How did she and Trevor get filmed?

"Trevor, it's your turn to be ashamed!" Susanna shouted gleefully. She was even more excited than Emma herself.

"How did we get recorded?" While gripping her hair, Emma was about to lose it. "What if someone discovers that it's me? I'll get bullied to no end."

Steven had slandered her for not taking care of the elderly before this, and she received so much hate that she got onto the trending page. Someone even insulted her for this in a lift, and Emma was terrified every time she recalled it.

Only the people who had experienced it knew how terrifying cyberbullying was.

Susanna stopped laughing and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, no one's scolding you right now. They're all curious about the person who Trevor would act so humbly toward. Also, you were caught in the most luxurious hotel in Kingsford, so everyone thinks that you're a rich lady from Kingsford. You know how the netizens like to bully the weak but fear the strong. They probably think you have a powerful background, so they don't dare to insult you."

Emma heaved a sigh in relief. She was fortunate to have lodged in the hotel Wilson arranged for her.

Only rich and prestigious people could afford to stay there, so even the netizens were debating if they should insult her.

Susanna continued, "No matter how you were filmed, I'm sure that Trevor knew of this before this news was exposed. Prominent figures like him would have a specialized PR team to deal with higher-ups from various media. If anything bad gets out, they would be the first to know."

Emma frowned and said, "Are you saying that Trevor knew he was caught on film, but he still allowed it to be shared?"

"Yes." Susanna nodded and clicked her tongue. "It's obvious that Trevor is plotting something. He allowed this ambiguous news to get out so that he could keep you close."

Emma was furious.

"What?!" Emma almost jumped out of her bed.

Susanna was truly Emma's best friend, for she informed Emma right away by saying, "Don't worry, your

face isn't clear in the video. You coincidentally had your back to the paparazzi, but Trevor's face is clearly shown in the video."
