"Do your best to keep it down," Jake instructed the staffs.
The very next day after Alissa collapsed, big news came out.
It is now the fourth day of the news and everyone in the modeling world was having an uproar.
There was a picture of her kissing a cameraman in the event last Saturday.
Obviously this cameraman was Timothy, the angle was just right for people to think that they were kissing, when in reality this was when he carried her.
The picture was also edited quite well that the people around them actually disappeared.
So many reporters already bombarded Alissa the moment she stepped out. She also couldn't enter Lie because of the reporters so she chose to instead go to Capa on Monday morning. She remained inside her apartment last Sunday but she can't stay there forever leaving all the trouble to Jake.
It has been three days as well since she last saw Timothy, it must be because he was also busy for Lie was being bombarded as well but they remained tight lip about the matter.
She could only stay within the company since there was also a living quarters within it.
Hayley was sitting on one side while she was sitting on another. Jake was instructing their staffs about how to keep it down.
"Runway model Alice became an employee to a broadcasting company to have an affair with a camera man. Wow how creative."
All three of them looked towards the door upon hearing this voice.
"Amber!!"
"Read the news last night, came back with the earliest flight," Amber said as she threw the newspaper on the side.
"Why are you back early?" Jake asked.
"Well I saw an interesting matter in the news, I really can't have such rumors now can I?" she replied before sitting down behind the desk.
"I am already doing my best to stop it from spreading even more but somehow the news just keeps escalating," Jake shook his head as he said this.
"Say Alissa, have you read the comments? Quite updated aren't they? Those so called fans of yours," she then said looking at Alissa.
"I actually never thought that I would have fans. I'm just a runway model after all," Alissa replied nonchalantly.
"That just shows how amazing you are," Amber gave her a thumb up.
Jake didn't know whether to laugh or cry these two are acting like this was not a big issue.
Hayley had her sales drop drastically.
Alissa was now involved in a scandal.
"I know what you're thinking, don't go doing anything negative as well," Amber suddenly looked at him and said.
Jake just rolled his eyes at her.
"Anyway, relax for now. We will surely-"
Just as she was speaking her phone suddenly rang.
It was the red one and seeing as the number was not saved she already have an inkling as to who it was.
"Could this be the master?" she asked as she answered the phone.
"Predicament? Are you sure this is a predicament?" she asked with a laid back tone.
Isaac scoffed, "Well then, let me see how you'll handle this."
After that he hanged up.
Amber stared at the phone, "An impatient old geezer."
"Who was that?" Jake asked.
"Just someone," she replied.
It's not that she didn't want them to know but that it was better for them not to know.
"Too many secrets," Jake shook his head as he said this.
He finally calmed down upon seeing her.
"Anyway, this will eventually blow up but relax, it is not as difficult as it may seem," she once again said.
"Well they can ask my coworkers?" Alissa suggested.
Amber shook her head, "If they ask they will just twist their words and say that they were covering up for you. To add more, they might say that you paid your coworkers for their words."
Alissa nodded in agreement.
"Timothy called me this morning and told me that he stopped his employees from speaking. It seems that he knew this would also be the case," Jake added after a while.
"Why do you all look so laid back?" Hayley finally spoke up after a while.
The three of them looked at her in confusion.
"This is a serious matter, the first quarter fashion show is just around the corner, how will she enter if we have such a scandal?" Hayley then complained.
"I already told you, it will be fine, just wait," Amber said patiently.
It was then that her manager called Alissa.
"She'll definitely get reprimanded," Amber whispered to Jake.
"Definitely, her manager does not see her as one of the pillars of the company. Instead she see her as a talent," Jake replied.
"Isn't that better? She won't get special treatment," was her reply.
Seeing their attitude, Hayley could only stand up and leave the room.
They then received a call from the telephone.
"Ma'am, mister Timothy is here and is asking for you."
"Let him up," she replied as she herself got up ready to meet him.
"Why would he be coming himself?" Jake couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, he is worried," she replied with a wink.
"About you?" Jake became even more curious.
"Me? Of course not," Amber said with a meaningful smile.
As she opened the door, she looked back to him once again, "My efforts might be paying off?"
Jake squinted his eyes before realizing what she meant.
"You cunning girl, you actually pair your brother up just like that."
As the door closes he heard her laughing triumphantly.
Jake could only shake his head as he listen to her laughter.
"I guess being with him is a great relaxation for you. Then that s a good thing, too bad you had to come back earlier than planned," he could only say despite being alone.

"Worried?" Amber said to Timothy the moment that the elevator opened.
The other employees who were also using the elevator couldn't help but to look back and forth.
She was leaning on the wall with arms crossed and asking Timothy like a thug.
Timothy shook his head, "You act like a thug right now."
"Come on, I'll show you what you have done," she then said before walking ahead.
"A thug indeed, it's not like it was my fault," he replied before following her.
The employees could only watch in bewilderment, with the rumor currently trending, why is it that the company seems relax.
They looked at each other but no one wants to say anything.
"You think you are just a runway model!!??!! Despite only walking the runway, you are still quite famous!! I understand that you are among the pillars but with me you are a model!!!"
This was the scene the two of them witnessed upon reaching the office.
"Ooooohhhh, I like the way the manager spoke. She is indeed a very good manager," Amber commented as she leaned on one side of the wall.
Timothy leaned on the other, both of them facing each other.
"You don't look like, you're in trouble at all," he commented seeing as she was nonchalant.
"Trouble? In what way? You know I've been wondering why is everyone saying that I am in trouble when I am not?" she asked curiously.
"Do you want me to speak up then?" he asked.
Amber chuckled, "Yeah right, then you will get the ire of your family. Pass, I don't want to get involve with them yet."
She stood up and started walking once again.
'Yet?' he thought but didn't ask thinking it was just unintentional.
"What are you planning then if you don't want me to step out?" he asked as he followed her.
"Shall we do some digging?" she asked as she moved her brows up and down.
Timothy furrowed his brows as he looks at her.
"You're not going to comfort her?" he asked pointing behind him, where the door was.
"You go and comfort her," she replied.
"Huh?"
Amber started laughing, "You should have seen your face and anyway, that person is stronger than how you think. Right now, our main goal is to get to the bottom of this for her to walk down the first quarter event."
"How will you do that? You have someone you know in that event?" he became curious.
"With this," was her reply as she raised both her hands and waved them in front of him.
Timothy was getting even more confused by her actions. But…
"You seem relax," he commented as he kept following her.
They are currently heading to the top most floor, where no one would go to for it was a green house only Amber could access.
Something she asked from Jake when the company was being built. She wanted a place to breathe some fresh air but at the same time she asked him to place something in there.
"Relax? About the current scandal?" she asked as she started shaking her hands and fingers.
"No, as a whole, compared to back then," he replied.
"Oh, maybe I got a breather?" she replied with a smile.
"Are you guys planning to get married soon?" he asked upon seeing the ring on her finger.
"We are waiting, he wants to wait for a bit though I told him it is fine," she answered.
"What would he be waiting for? His grandmother's approval?" he asked upon remembering that she haven't really met his grandmother yet.
"Oh, we don't need that, she can do whatever she wants," she replied with a wave of her hand.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Do your best to keep it down," Jake instructed the staffs.
