\u201cThat\u2019s right,\u201d Larissa said. \u201cThere\u2019s no need for now. Replacements for the staff who left will be arriving next Monday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026I see.\u201d Ursa paused again, then ventured, \u201cMs. Judson, have you seen the trending topics online?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa leaned back in her chair, away from the monitor. \u201cWhich one? The bait\u2013and\u2013switch from last night that claimed I was Jagger\u2019s sugar baby but was actually about Lucius and Jagger, or the one about me and Leopold?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026The one about you and Leopold,\u201d Ursa clarified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw it. What about it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa chose her words carefully. \u201cI was thinking\u2026 the publicity around you and Leopold is at an all\u2013time high right now. If you were to forgive him, and perhaps even follow his fans\u2018 suggestion to form a sibling duo, it could have an incredible impact. It might be a way for Starlight Media to quickly recover from this crisis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot interested,\u201d Larissa replied without a second thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa looked like she wanted to say more but held her tongue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The conversation, however, gave Larissa an idea. \u201cThere\u2019s only a video of my performance from the welcome banquet circulating online. I want to capitalize on this attention and officially release the song under my own name. It will generate buzz for me as the new head of Starlight and increase the company\u2019s visibility. Please arrange for the recording, release, and promotion.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa\u2019s eyes widened in surprise, then she nodded. \u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a moment, she asked tentatively, \u201cWill you be recording it yourself, Ms. Judson?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larissa smiled. \u201cWhy not? I wrote the song. Why should Leopold get the credit?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ursa understood perfectly. \u201cI\u2019ll arrange it immediately!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as her secretary left, Larissa created a new Twitter account, had it verified as [CEO of Starlight Media], and posted her first tweet. It was only one word:\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Never.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The post was quickly discovered by Leopold\u2019s fans, and soon, a new hashtag was trending: #Never.\u00a0<\/p>\n
