Chapter 65
Her Interview?
After getting back to the magazine, Selena took on a project that involved heading out to the countryside for an interview. She quickly minimized her call and opened up Twitter. Just as she thought, news about her rural interview was already making the rounds
Ink & Insight had pinned the tweet right at the top of their official page and made a big deal about their star reporter, $, making a comeback with this piece. Up until now, Selena had never been in the public eye, so it was quite a shocker that the journalist who had once fearlessly broken a major story turned out to be such a stunning beauty!!
Her looks didn’t take away from her talent. During her time in the countryside, she mingled with the locals without any airs. In the video, her smile was as bright and inviting as a winter’s sun, warming hearts all around.
To support the villagers in selling their surplus fruits, she even set up a live stream for them, patiently guiding them on what to do and answering every question they had it was already a noteworthy gesture, but with her reputation and striking looks, the story spread like wildfire, capturing everyone’s attention.
Her story didn’t take long to surpass the buzz around Margot’s interview, shooting to the top of the charts with a bright red “trending” tag With the news coming out at the same time, people couldn’t help but compare, especially since Margot had been urging her fans to push her glamorized photos everywhere.
Now, Selena and Margot were being compared head–to–head on looks. Margot’s videos and photos were all glammed up with heavy makeup, while Selena, aiming to fit in with the rural vibe, went almost makeup–free, donning simple clothes.
Her natural beauty, flawless, smooth skin, even held up under Ink & Insight’s intense high–def cameras. The contrast between Selena’s natural charm and Margot’s tech enhanced look struck a chord with the audience.D
A savvy account jumped on the chance and set up a poll asking whose beauty people preferred. Margot’s fans couldn’t stand the thought of their celebrity losing, so they flooded the poll initially giving her a lead. They were aggressive, too; anyone who said Selenia looked better got hounded and accused of being tasteless or part of a paid campaign
This heavy–handed approach backfired, as onlookers didn’t appreciate being told what to think. They started rallying behind Selena. voting for her in droves. In the end, Selena effortlessly outshone Margot
Consequently, hashtags like #Reporter$Returns, #SelenaOutshines, and #BeautyAndBrains were trending, completely eclipsing Margot’s buzz.
Joy, on the other end of the line, was laughing so hard she could barely speak, I heard Margot spent a fortune on bots to boost her image, but it just ended up making you look even better. Now she must be furious, losing both her money and her spotlight!”
Joy was head of PR at Bennett Corporation, and there was no industry gossip that escaped her, Selena wasn’t one to play the saint, so she was quite pleased with Margot’s downfall Yet
A flicker of uncertainty crossed her eyes as she opened her laptop, typed up an email, and sent it off to the editor–in–chief.
