"Alright, I know."
Charlotte Thompson simply responded, and after a bit of idle chatter, Jordan Thompson hung up the call.
With Charlotte's prior alert, neither the Thompson nor Battleson families suppressed the trending topic online. However, due to Ethan Allen's ambiguous stance, the online fervor didn't last too long before other entertainment news took over.
Online comments on the matter were mixed. Charlotte wasn't interested and proceeded to continue with her work at hand.
Yet, just as the hot topic started to fall in rankings, Charlotte received a call from the Allen family. This time, unlike before, she chose to answer instead of hanging up right away.
Ethan Allen hadn't expected that, after having his calls ignored all morning, Charlotte finally picked up now, thinking that it must be due to the recent trending topic.
Indeed, Charlotte still cared about her reputation.
"Charlotte, you must have seen the trending topic," Ethan's voice contained a hint of smugness.
