She's My Sleeping Pill

"I knew it! He really got into modeling through a back door." This is one of the most liked comments right below the picture that showed Luiz kissing a girl.

"Well, that isn't surprising. His family is a friend of so many big shots." And this was one of the most liked reply under the comment written above.

These weren't the only opinions of the people towards Luiz. There so many more that flooded the unknown account of the uploader.

"To all his fans, I want you to look at your model here. Look at him and see his true colors!"

"Ha! He's shameless enough to start modeling through some open back doors and now, he's even starting to flirt with other people's girlfriend."

"The girl is a new model.. He must have thought she's got no powerful backer so, he hooked up with her."

"What do you expect? After all, his sister gets them to where they are now after sleeping with Stefan Dumrique."

More and more people started criticizing Luiz on the social media and the picture was circulated on the platform through several paid accounts.

Luiz thought that the woman would clarify this matter after a couple of days but not only did she not clarify this matter, she didn't even explain anything to his boyfriend and just let Luiz suffer the burnt of her boyfriend's anger. Although it's embarrassing to admit your own mistake, isn't more embarrassing if people tell others about it?

This issue didn't just affect Luiz but it also affected Riley. As for Jillyanna, she no longer cares about what other people say to her. She's no longer in the entertainment industry and she knew that she wasn't opening any backdoor for anyone. Even Riley needed to audition when she started her career two years ago.

Around 10 o'clock in the morning, when Riley woke up from the faint sound of the fingers tapping on a keyboard, she checked her phone to see if there are any messages from her manager or from her family and friends. There weren't many of them but most of them talked about the scandal that Luiz got involved.

'This guy hasn't said anything until now? What is he thinking letting this matter grow to this point?' Riley thought to herself before getting out of the bed. She walked to the computer room where Shein was busy working and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Is he not making a move yet? Shall I say anything now?"

"Hn. Tristan is working on it already after Luiz called him this morning. You can post a statement on your account about this matter. Just don't bully them too much. Let Luiz throw the last blow."

"O-okay." Riley yawned and stretched her arms before going out to brush her teeth and wash her face. When she's fully awake, she picked up her phone again and opened her account. She clicked on the post and share it to her own account with a new caption. "Luiz has been busy worrying about his sister and yet, people used this chance to ruin him. As far as I remember, the YES magazine was the first ever company that approached Luiz for a work. THEY approached him for work, not Luiz approaching them for work. I stake my name on this. And I know Luiz better than any of his haters here. He's not someone who dates a celebrity and surely, he's not someone who steals someone's girlfriend. If I were you, stop making bullsh*ts with his name because you will surely receive a dozen slaps on your face. Take note, we don't let anyone use us and step on us for self-gain. You better apologize or be sorry."

Riley read her statement again and again; and after seeing that it was fine, she posted it with no hesitation. Her first sentence was to point out why Luiz wasn't able to respond to this scandal in a timely manner. The second sentence was to let them know that Luiz didn't join the modeling industry through back door. And the rest of her words was to warn the initiator of this issue because as a friend, Riley isn't someone you can mess with.

Because of her words, Luiz's fans, who were suppressed by the haters, have found the new strength to fight back. Her post was shared by many people and most of them were people who likes Luiz and also, Cayenne's vlog subscribers. They started posting their comments; their fingers moving across their keyboards, tapping their phones and stating their firm opinions that Luiz was a reasonable person, a decent man who doesn't stoop low as to stealing someone's girl.

"I knew my idol won't do anything like this."

"Hmp! He's handsome, smart, kind and passionate. Why would he be with someone so ugly?"

"Our dear Luiz worked with so many female models before, even more beautiful than this girl. I would never believe he'd kiss a frog like her!"

"Ha! I've seen Luiz so many times in school and I know the person he likes! There's no way it's this ugly duckling!"

"I'm sure my idol will come out soon and speak his opinion regarding this. I will just prepare my popcorn to watch the show."

"Hehehe. I remember that anyone who messes with Riley Summer won't have a good ending. This time, you messed with her friend. I'm currently having tea with friends while waiting for the face slapping."

"Some people wanted to be famous as soon as they can no matter what means they wanted to use. And now, she's really famous."

"Comment above. She will be more famous after our idol gets back at her."

"I'm waiting."

"I'm waiting, too."

"I'm waiting +100"

"It's not easy to gather evidence. Let's give our idol a bit of time. But yes, I'm also waiting. Hehehe."

Luiz didn't pay attention to what was happening and was even chatting with Clarisse instead. It is like the saying 'the emperor doesn't worry but the eunuch does'. He was really nonchalant about what's going on while waiting for Tristan to send him the details of his investigation.

Inside her apartment, the woman bit her lips while reading the comments under Riley's posts. She thought that everything would be okay as long as Luiz won't make a statement but now, many people were standing on his side. Her phone buzzed and when she pulled it out, her hand trembled from anxiety.

"Mica, tell me what exactly happened?"
