“Miss Simmons, have you seen the news? Something big has happened!”
Concerned by Vivian’s anxious expression, Lucinda snapped out of her drowsiness and fetched her iPad.
Dwayne’s scandal had hit the headlines.
It had been leaked online, and if not handled properly, it had the potential to ruin his career and send Angle Intl’s stock prices plummeting.
The Internet was abuzz with photos of him, partially undressed, sharing intimate moments with different women. While the women’s faces were blurred out, there was an undeniable sense of closeness between them.
As soon as those pictures hit the web, they caused an instant frenzy.
They captured the attention of millions and even caused some network disruptions.
Dwayne was just nineteen years old, for Pete’s sake! If labeled as a corrupt artist, he would have a major setback in his career.
Thankfully, the photos had only been online for an hour, leaving a window to salvage the situation.
“What should we do now? The PR department is working hard to control the situation. People are demanding an explanation from Dwayne.

But I spoke to his agents, and they can’t reach him. We don’t even know where he is. We’re in the dark about the truth behind this scandal.
Oh my goodness! He’s one of Angle Intl’s top male artists. If he can’t prove that he’s innocent, it’ll have a negative impact on the company !”
Vivian grabbed her hair and her eyes welled up with tears.
While Lucinda continued reading about the incident in silence.
“Miss Simmons, please say something.”
Lucinda responded calmly, “The Gordon family has strong values.
Despite Dwayne being mischievous and trouble-prone, he’s not the type to sleep around with so many women. I trust him.”
“But I’ve verified that the photos are real. They haven’t been edited or something. I mean, no one would force him to do something like this, right Lucinda raised her head and locked eyes with Vivian.
“Release a statement on behalf of the company. Affirm our belief in him, state that he wouldn’t involve himself in such behavior, and assure everyone that we’ll prove his innocence. Ask the public to be patient for the truth to unfold.”
“Well…”
Vivian hesitated, fearing the potential consequences.
“Please reconsider. If we issue such a statement and things go south, we’ll be in serious trouble!”
Lucinda remained firm.
“I know what I’m doing. Just follow my instructions.”
