I Ran Away After Three Years as Stand in, CEO Went Mad Chapter 08

I Ran Away After Three Years as Stand in, CEO Went Mad Chapter 08

When I heard that, I turned half-dead myself.

When people panic, they look for outside help.

I opened Tik Tok for the first time in a week.

My last video was from the day I “died”: [The CEO’s unrequited love is back. I’m out.]

I took a random photo of the airport moon and captioned it: [I’m back. The CEO is hunting for me.

Where should I run next……]

Trouble for one, chaos for all.

The netizens’ comments made my blood run cold.

[Ask him. Dude’s got ideas. ]

[Usually when you’ve got a problem like this, you just grab some Advil from the drugstore.]

[Oh, I know this one-run straight into his arch-nemesis’s arms.]

I went silent.

Declan’s arch-rival was a guy named Harold Dunn-a fifty-something balding CEO.

I sighed.

Couldn’t count on anyone. I’d have to hide from Declan myself,

The next day, I rebranded as a travel blogger.

New video series: “Stand-in Escape Diary.”

Some people said it was all fake, just me chasing clout.

But more people were shocked: [How did you even find this niche?]

Heh. I’m not a fraud for nothing.

I started traveling all over the country.

With money and time, I took it slow in every city.

But every time I passed one of Declan’s branch offices, I ran like hell.

Guilty conscience.

Off and on, I did the travel-blogger thing for a year.

New fans didn’t know I used to be a “stand-in,” so old fans spread weird trivia in the comments

[Fun fact: Sloane is a certain CEO’s runaway stand-in.]

[People really believe a year-old script?]

[Fun fact: The CEO gave Sloane tens of millions.]

[Fun fact: Sloane started her account to get back at the CEO’s unrequited love.]

I didn’t pay attention.

Everyone knows fun facts are mostly fake.

Recently, Declan also trended.

His company developed a robot that felt like a real person, with customizable looks.

The first batch was a collab with a hit game-perfect replicas of game characters.

Netizens screeched with excitement.

People started paying attention to Declan too.

[Damn, a young CEO in his twenties-you couldn’t write this in a novel.]

[Declan picks up a power fantasy novel, reads two chapters, and goes, “This isn’t even fun.”]

[I heard there’s some girl he never got over.]

When I saw relationship gossip, I closed the comments.

I’m the person involved. Don’t want to see it.

I kept editing videos and running my account quietly.

Then, a few days later, I got doxxed unexpectedly.

The platform introduced a new rule: accounts with over 500k followers had to verify real names.

The System had said it would give me a chance to get caught by the CEO.

But no one expected this.

I watched as my handle “Sloane (Travel Edition)” got three tiny characters after it: Verified Name.

I tapped it.

Two more characters appeared: Sloane Hart.

I started sweating again. I hoped nobody would notice.

But the next day, comments with my full name showed up.

[Sloane Hart, where are you going tomorrow?]

[Who’s Sloane Hart? Why is everyone saying her name?]

[Sloane Hart is her. That’s actually a pretty name.]

I liked that comment.

Nice of them to compliment me.

I was on edge all day, too anxious to sleep.

At 3 a.m., eyes glazed, I kept refreshing my own page.

Then I saw a red dot.

A new follower.

I have OCD. I tapped it.

A familiar name: Declan Thorne.

I was screwed.
