Instead of Alan or Morgan Industries employees, reporters wanted to wrap the meeting to find out about Vincent Scott.

Emcee spoke, "Any more questions?"

​​

Some reporters who work for Focus wanted to question back as 'Why are you bluffing?' but everyone out there knew Alan Morgan was President of Morgan Industries, he had a brain and wouldn't lie unless he didn't want to receive severe backlash.

The rest of the reporters knew that too so they didn't ask. Alan stood up and single buttoned his blazer feeling proud of his wife and her attentiveness in country S.

When Aria was working in country S, she started as an intern and worked her way up. When she had become an assistant manager, she had to meet an actress to negotiate to be a brand ambassador of the Skyline jewelry in country S.

In the entertainment company, while passing by a room she had heard a man intensely requesting for that company CEO to let him off for helping another company actor to use the resources of his company, for holding secrets of other female celebrities to force them to sleep with him or other directors and for using drugs.

Aria hadn't seen his face, so she casually asked a new celebrity who was peeking inside. She had told his name and also the reasons thinking Aria was also like her, a new young girl dreaming to be a celebrity.

Aria didn't care about it at that time and even after returning to country A because he doesn't matter to her in any way. But she never expected that could be used in such a critical time.

The previous day before sleeping, Aria had asked her country S friend who studied with her to confirm with the company. She had received the news at midnight that it was true but they didn't bother to collect evidence because they didn't want to show as they deliberately revealed it.

After Alan left, Emcee was about to say, "Lunch is..." 'arranged for you all.'

But all started to run away from the hall leaving them at loss. Morgan Entertainment employees and artists took the time to realize what just happened because they just cared about David Mariot.

Since the lunch was in large quantity and most of the celebrities were there to check out Alan, they ate, enjoying as a party.

In Focus International

Xin was helping Xoan with the work when a secretary bolted in after a knock with the PR department director.

"CEO West... CEO West, there is a problem."

Xoan frowned seeing their urgency. "Speak"

"You should watch this..." Secretary passed a tab to Xoan playing the video.

Xin just heard while Xoan watched. Only the last question and Alan's response.

Xin knew about Vincent Scott so he didn't feel anything about it. No vengeance on Alan or no feeling of sorry for Vincent.

He was more like, 'You should pay for your Karma.'

Xin was thinking why Xoan didn't break the tab and raised his head to see him smiling evilly. Secretary and PR director were surprised too.

Even though Vincent wasn't signed under Focus, they were managing his works externally hence they reported to Xoan.

Xoan looked at the PR department director but waved his hand for them to leave.

Xoan knew he couldn't stop the leaking of news anymore, even if he tries, all media and fans would be going in an uproar so it would be just a waste of resources.

He connected dots and realized how cops found the guilty person, He understood Alan and his men were behind finding proof.

"Alan Morgan is a wonderful businessman. I didn't know his wings are so strong and wide. No doubt, he is daringly announcing me directly."

Xin was amused hearing him agree that there was somebody better than him.

Both got back to work without really bothering about the current issue until Vincent Scott barged in the room.

'Bam'

He banged on the table which irritated both Xoan and Xin.

He was a man in his mid to late twenties. As his fame 'International superstar' says, he was good looking maintaining his physique well but carried an awful expression.

"Xoan, how did Alan Morgan know about it? Block all the news quickly."

Xoan cued Xin to calm down hearing Vincent ordering Xoan as if he was right and Xoan was wrong.

"Sit... And tell me, what do you want me to do? Block the news? How many? One? Two? Five? Ten? Vin, There were nearly 30 plus media who heard it. And do you think we can tie the mouths of your previous company?"

Vincent was pissed off and forgot who was the boss, "What the f*ck do you mean by that? Do you want me to be bad mouthed by all?"

Xoan who gave respect to his friend and explained patiently lost his temper. He stood up but

'Thud' Vincent reached the floor.

"Ahhh..."

Xin had punched him and dislocated his arm without bothering before going back and sitting on the couch ignoring the groaning Vincent.

Xin only cared about Xoan but not his friends.

Xoan sat back shaking his head. "Go home and cool your head. I will meet you some other day."

Saying that he called a secretary through the intercom to arrange for Vincent to leave.

Xoan knew Vincent's fans were cursing Alan, that doesn't mean Alan's fans were quiet. There were Alan's fans, David Mariot's fans to stand by Alan.

Xoan was sure, once the truth was revealed, Vincent fans would become Alan's fans so no water army could help the situation.

And Vincent's show TRP would go down affecting his channel and his investment was going to drain.

Once the news leaks about Xoan or Focus helping Vincent, he was also going to face a huge problem.

He sighed thinking Alan wasn't an easy target and got back to work thinking to plan later on Alan.

In Skyline Industries

Aria had thought Alan might change his plan but he used her plan but she had no idea Alan was personally attending the press meet. She watched live as she worked.

When the press conference finished, she dialed Alan's number.

Alan spoke first, "So, how was your husband?"

The managing director next to Alan was again dumbfounded thinking when Alan got married.

Aria giggled, "My hubby is always best."

Alan didn't like that, "That you always say it."

Aria thought about a better one to make him happy. 'He gets happy if it's related to me.' She thought to herself and tried again.

"My husband is amazing that I will reward him with a big tight hug."

Alan hummed at Aria as he signaled Nathan to leave and took his sports car which his bodyguard had driven earlier, "And then?"

Aria gave it a thought, "And then a kiss probably."

Alan again asked but suggestively after sitting inside the car, "And then?"

Aria pouted but giggled once finding a response, "And then, I will toss you out."

Alan mused, "I will see who will toss whom on the bed. See you." He promptly hung up the call and drove towards Skyline.

Aria: ⦿_⦿

'I didn't mean that.' She couldn't get to say it and looked at her mobile in bewilderment.
