“Yes, mom, we have to go back to work today.” Orm told her mother over a phone call while coming up the stairs. 

“How is Lingling doing?” Koy asked. 

Orm pouted a bit. “I'm worried about her, mom. Even if she doesn't say it, the online comments are affecting her so much.” She sighed, stopping just before their bedroom door. “I told her to get off the internet for a while.” 

“That's a good idea. You too should stay out of social media for now, dear.” 

Nodding, Orm walked further until she was at the door of their room. However, she didn't see her wife there. “The company already released a statement yesterday, but P'Lingling still needs to talk to the board later.” She looked around and thought her wife may be inside their bathroom. “I'll get going now, mom.”

“Alright. Call us if you or Lingling need anything.” Koy said before the call ended. 

Meanwhile, Lingling sat on the stool in front of their vanity mirror inside the bathroom as she read the comments online under the statement released by the company. 

“Wasn't Khun Sirilak caught checking in at a hotel with a model in 2023? IDK why I'm not surprised that she's a cheater too.”

“@jelchung35 yes I remember that! They took down the post so fast. I guess that's how money works 5555555555” 

“Please, the photos say a lot. You can never really tell these days 😮‍💨🤷🏻‍♀️”

“Noiam is trying hard to deny the issue but what can you expect? She's the daughter of the owner 🙄” 

“Of course they'll sue 55555 Everything but admit their mistake well…” 

“The account who posted the pics is now deleted. They're fast 55555555”

“Cheater yuck 🤮🤮🤮” 

“Hiding behind the company 555555”

“She's not perfect after all but I feel bad for her wife ☹️” 

“Keep denying it.” 

“Boycott Noiam Foods 🤮😤” 

They weren't just about her. They were targeting both the company as well as Orm. 

“Khun Sirilak was caught red handed even if they deny it. Damn. If I'm her wife I would ask for a divorce immediately 😵‍💫”

“@podlily_ probably staying for the money idk I'd do too tbh 5555555” 

“TBH the mistress is prettier” 

“I won't be surprised if they also tell her to post something about her wife on her TikTok account 😮‍💨”  

“I would act blind too if my wife is the daughter of a millionaire 555555”

Lingling shut her eyes and massaged her forehead. It was making her head hurt. Now, those unknown people on the internet were also insulting her wife. She wasn't sure if anything she would say would change their mind. And today, she would have to go back to the office. Probably, all of them had seen those photos. She could only sigh. She wasn't one to dwell on people's opinion on her but she couldn't help but feel responsible for what's happening now. It all happened because she wasn't careful enough.

Then, there was a knock on the door. “Bubu, are you inside?” 

It wasn't locked, but Lingling was thankful that Orm knocked first. She turned her phone off before opening the door. She gave her wife a smile. “Hey, I was just putting on makeup.”
