The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 292: Emoji Stickers

Mona Wright suddenly widened her eyes at Skylar Hughes, "What? She actually did sothing so vicious to ruin your apprenticeship?"

Mona Wright also imdiately glared angrily at Paige Sterling, completely ignoring whether Skylar Hughes was telling the truth or not.

"Paige! How could you be so excessive! If you’re upset that Skylar caught Professor Lancaster’s favor, you should say it outright. Why be so vicious? Why use such despicable thods?"

No wonder Skylar hasn’t been well these days; it’s all because of this incident.

It’s obvious that Skylar was full of hope to beco Professor Lancaster’s student and made so much effort, only to be sabotaged by Paige in the end. How heartbroken Skylar must feel!

"Paige, even if you win with such ans, your victory is dishonorable, and you’ll feel ashad in your heart!"

Paige smirked and looked at Skylar Hughes.

"Skylar, do you know why you always fail?"

She said indifferently, "Because you never know where you fail."

A woman who only blas others when sothing goes wrong will never change herself.

Unable to change, she’ll keep losing; this is a vicious cycle.

After speaking, Paige left.

Skylar didn’t chase after her, but with reddened eyes, she looked utterly wronged and humiliated, making Mona Wright angrier on her behalf.

"Paige is just disgusting, Skylar, you must not be bothered by soone like her. You need to cheer up..."

Thinking about the injustice Skylar suffered and Paige’s arrogance, Mona Wright even took the matter online.

But unfortunately, if she hadn’t ntioned it online, it would have been better. Most attendees at the birthday banquet didn’t take the matter seriously anyway and naturally felt lazy to talk about it.

Besides, everyone is busy; who has ti to gossip about such a trivial woman?

However, when Mona Wright took the matter online as Skylar’s substitute, claiming victimhood, the attendees started coming forward, exposing Mona’s lies. There was even a video replaying the birthday banquet’s situation.

So when Skylar woke up the next morning, the matter she was afraid of being known had been spread all over the internet.

"My God, there are such shaless people in this world, claiming that viewpoints made months ago were plagiarized from her? How can she be so misleading!"

"I said, how could a dignified person like Professor Lancaster possibly accept soone like that as an apprentice? Turns out it was all Skylar’s wishful thinking..."

"Tsk tsk, plagiarizing my God Sterling’s viewpoints and then biting back, the level of shalessness reaching its peak..."

"And always claiming she has talent and strength, turns out talent and strength are just talk. That ans I also have a talent for bragging then..."

Skylar’s face turned green; it’s not the fear of a god-like opponent, but fear of teammates behaving like pigs.

Right now, she actually wants to strangle Mona Wright.

Her hopes dashed and she beca a joke; not to ntion entering the research circle, even walking on the street being recognized would earn her strange looks for a long ti.

In such circumstances, she could only stay low-key and wait for a chance to turn things around.

So for a long period following this, it beca very quiet around Paige.

Skylar stopped coming to disgust her, making her feel like her vision brightened significantly.

Although during this ti, Paige started spending lots of ti in the lab again, and her etings with Julian Hawthorne beca rare.

Julian strives to be an understanding, sensible, and well-behaved supportive partner. Since Paige is busy, he doesn’t bother her.

However, not seeing Paige makes him miss her, and this longing becos unbearable.

Thankfully, with the advancent of technology, even though they are apart, there’s still video calling.

Julian uses a modified phone by Paige; they have a separate chat app developed by Paige. Whenever Paige logs in, the app instantly notifies Julian.

And at that mont, Julian was in a company eting, listening to Simon Hawthorne’s report on a plan he wrote.

While Simon eloquently speaks, Julian’s phone suddenly emits a sweet sounding voice—calling hubby, calling hubby.

It’s unmistakably Paige’s voice.

Having heard Paige’s straightforward and assertive voice often, suddenly hearing this sweet tone made Simon Hawthorne shudder.

The conference room instantly fell silent due to the notification sound.

Everyone stared at Julian without speaking.

Ever since Julian took over the group, he’s conducted a thorough internal reform, establishing rigorous rules.

Once in the conference room, participants are forbidden from having phone sounds or vibrations.

For years, nobody dared to break this rule, yet now his own phone sounded, naturally arousing surprise and curiosity.

Julian Hawthorne naturally felt everyone’s attention quickly.

As a competent group leader, he calmly put his phone into his bag and instantly declared he’s penalizing himself with a salary cut.

However, once Simon Hawthorne resud reporting project progress, Julian secretly retrieved his phone from underneath the desk like a high schooler sneakily playing with his phone during class.

Paige had sent ssages to Julian because he previously initiated several video calls to her.

However, Paige was busy at the ti; her phone wasn’t nearby and she naturally missed the calls.

Now that she had ti, she instantly called Julian back.

Julian answered without hesitation but used Bluetooth earphones, so others wouldn’t hear Paige’s side.

He didn’t speak either, typing his responses to Paige.

Paige realized he was in a eting and wanted to end the call, but Julian refused.

Thus, they communicated through video, exchanging glances instead.

Eventually, Paige felt her eyes were getting strained and sent Julian several emoji packs.

Julian searched for the kind of emojis Paige liked but couldn’t find them on his phone, so he imdiately ssaged Shaun Jones.

"Send the emoji packs you sent last ti."

Shaun wasn’t in the conference room at that ti, so he was sowhat puzzled when he received Julian’s ssage.

When did President Hawthorne start playing with emojis?

But President Hawthorne’s directives are not to be questioned, only promptly executed.

Shaun promptly gathered all his emoji collection and sent them to Julian.

Such a vast number of cute emojis should be sufficient for Julian, right?

Looking through the emoji packs Shaun sent, Julian increasingly found them silly, unfitting for his cool persona.

Thus he frowned slightly.
