As Viviana had suspected, Agent Yan was against Viviana going to the event. And the reason he gave…
"She's just playing the third female lead and would be subjected to gaining unnecessary attention to herself."
Although the reason he provided was ridiculous, Manager An had to accept it.
"Did she want to go?" Agent Yan inquired.
He wondered if Viviana had changed her mind of quitting the entertainment industry. If that was the case, it could become a thorn to his plan. He did not want the actress to rise up as he was sure that she would not be under him after the contract comes to an end.
"No." Manager An responded honestly. "She was against it too. Her exact words were that it's troublesome."
Agent Yan relaxed after hearing her answer. It was good that Viviana had not changed her decision.
"The trailer for Happy Trip Together will be released today. Make sure she shares it on her social media." He instructed.
"Okay."
Manager An nodded before she was dismissed from the office. As she walked out of the door, Agent Yan could still feel the unsettling sensation, an anxiety of some sort. And he knew that this uncomfortable feeling would stick to him until he could deal with Viviana.
Thankfully, he had made the plan. Now he only had to wait for a few more days.

The trailer of Happy Trip Together was released at the peak hour of 8 pm. Most netizens were excited to see the main pairing of the current hot drama 'Royal Physician'_ Daniel and Lyra on the same screen.
The uncut videos released of the behind the scenes of the shooting were not enough for the fans to eat the candy. They needed more…
[Ahhh!!! My Royal Highness and Miss Yana are appearing in real life…]
[I can't wait for Saturday… I needed a daily dose of these two in my single life.]
[The scene of the two of them fishing together is just so…. Beautiful… These two make me feel so single. And I even have a boyfriend.]
But there was another phase to the netizen's reaction.
The production team had done their magic with the editing. The drama they wanted to cook was out. Everyone was thirsty for the tea between Lyra and Viviana.
[What does Viviana mean by 'With your intelligence, I'd surely be taking a bath.']
[Viviana is indeed uncultured and rude as the rumor says.]
[I can't wait for the episode. Two days is too long.]
[Could this be another masterpiece of the editor god…]
[Let's wait for Saturday…]
They had left the trailer with such an ending that made Viviana appear as though she was very rude to everyone, especially to Lyra. They cut out half of the sentence she said and without full context, the netizens could only speculate about what could've happened.
But some netizens were aware that this could be a net set by the production team to draw in more viewers with the drama between the two. Not to mention that the two were also love rivals in the airing drama.
The smart ones were not easily deceived by this obvious trick played by the production. But not all were willing to analyze things logically, especially Lyra's fans who had always believed that Viviana bullied their idol.
They began to attack Viviana on social media. By mid-night, more than a million netizens were aware of the hot tea that would be coming in the weekend thanks to the loud noise her Lyra's fans were making.
The HTT's production team's plan had been successful. Now there were millions waiting for the release of their new episode.
When the first section of the episode of the show was released on Saturday, it only consisted of the recording of the first day. The fans of 'Royal Physician' were capturing every frame in which both Lyra and Daniel appeared together.
The fans of XTM were talking about how hilarious it was for Le Yang and Na Yun to bicker even outside of their group's variety show. They called the two boys incurable.
But if anyone were to be asked who caught their eyes the most, he or she would surely reply, Viviana. After all, her fiery look made it hard to take eyes off her. And people had a lot to say about the way she dressed.
[Where does Viviana think she's going to, dressed like that?]
[Miss Princess Syndrome thinks she's walking down a runway instead of going on a trip.]
[Compared to her heavily caked face, I prefer Lyra's simple yet well dressed look.]
[All though it is suitable for the occasion, I have to say Viviana looks stunning.]
[If it were not for personality, I'd have been her fan a long time ago just by her looks.]
[What's the use of good looks when one is rotten inside.]
But because of her inactiveness during the games, Viviana got less screen time. This was easily noticed by those who had come to watch the show especially to bash on her.
[Hey! Why is Viviana hardly appearing in the show?]
[Yeah! I've come specially to throw dirt on her. But the subject of my hatred hardly ever gets ten minutes of screen time in this one hour long episode. It's kinda making me feel pity for her.]
[Did they edit everything out because she was annoying?]
[I highly doubt that. From what I see, Viviana didn't seem to be much of an active person.]
[I've never expected the notorious Scandal Queen to be an introvert.]
But those who hated Viviana with a passion was not pleased with such comments.
[What introvert? She's being rude to everyone. Why even come to the show if she doesn't even participate in the games? Has anyone forced her to come?]
[Right! She kept on giving cold shoulder to everyone who talked to her and barely responded to Lyra who was sweetly talking to her. I've never seen such a rude person in this industry.]
[And how dare she mock our goddess Lyra. She's a student of L-University. I don't even know if she passed her high school or not.]
[True. I've checked her profile in the Han Entertainment forum. There is no information about her education.]
