Chapter 388 Prepare For A Press Con

Day Forty-Four...

~~*****~~

[ At EDSJ Five Star Hotel... ]

Alexander, also known as the Dragon Lord, was still staying in his executive suite. He was enjoying his coffee when he saw the news articles online. Abigail Scarlett was being called out and bashed by netizens because of Nadia and Richard's break up. Haters were cursing Abigail online.

"What can you say about this article, my Lord?" Jack engaged in a conversation with his leader. He was sitting opposite him.

"Hmm. This is fake news. Someone just wants to ruin Abigail's reputation. The photo there is my executive room. I don't think Richard and Abigail are in a secret relationship." Alexander nonchalantly said before taking a sip of his coffee.

Jack nodded his head. "What is your impression of her?"

Alexander's lips reflexively curled up into a wide grin as he recalled his conversation with Abigail. "Abigail Scarlett is indeed an interesting woman. I can't figure out what is running through her mind. I didn't even expect that she will accept my extravagant gift. I thought she would refuse it."

"Is she a gold digger? Someone who can easily be attracted to money?" Jack asked him expectantly.

"I don't know. I am still in a process of getting to know her better. Besides, I will find out once I bond with her more."

"My Lord... I wonder if the necklace you gave her... is a personalized item of our organization." Jack had seen the gift but he wasn't certain if it came from their collections.

Alexander smiled at him meaningfully. "Yes. It's from one of our precious items. A small tracker and recording device are installed in the gems."

Jack let out a soft chuckle. That was a smart move coming from his leader, the Dragon Lord. Through this, he could easily monitor Abigail, especially if she would keep the jewelry in Nathan's home or if she would wear it from time to time. Jack and Alexander were aware that Abigail had been staying in the Sparks Mansion.

"What is your next plan, my Lord?" Jack wondered when his master would strike Nathan. He still couldn't figure out how Alexander would use Abigail to get back at Nathan.

"I will wait for Abigail to seek my help. I helped her last night to clear her name. I believe she might ask for my help as well to explain the photo in the article. It will be my chance to get closer to her." Alexander was confident that Abigail would try to seek his help. But unknown to him, Abigail already had a plan on how she would clear her name.

[ Star Corp Entertainment Building... ]

The Head of the PR Team managed to contact Abigail and Richard. They requested them to come to the office today to strategize what they would do about the scandal. Richard was still having a headache as a result of his hangover. He arrived at the office first, followed by Abigail.

Ana and Santra were already in the meeting room together with Mr. Jones, the Head of the PR (Public Relations) Team. Richard was not in a good mood when he entered the room. Ana, Santra, and the PR officer didn't know how they would greet their CEO.

The three people were rendered speechless because of Abigail's bold move and overbearing confidence. They could only watch her in amusement.

"What are you planning to do?" Richard asked Abigail in puzzlement.

"I will give them a revelation. A big scoop that will bury our fake scandal and your break-up issue," Abigail stated matter-of-factly.

"OMG! Don't tell me... you are going to reveal that you are in a relationship with Nathan Sparks? The CEO of SYP Twilight Corporation?" Santra was not able to hold her tongue. She was dying to ask Abigail about her real relationship with Nathan Sparks.

Mr. Jones almost fell from his chair when he heard those words from Santra. Richard was also flabbergasted at the mention of Nathan's name. Both men were having disbelief looks in their eyes.

"What do you mean? Is this true? Are you dating the mighty Nathan Sparks?" Mr. Jones asked Abigail exasperatedly.

Abigail blinked her eyes, darting her gaze back and forth among the four people in front of her. "Eh, who told you about Nathan and me?"

"Madam Priyanshi!" Ana responded. "Is it true? Are you in a relationship with Nathan Sparks?"

The four people were dying to hear her answer. They felt like their curiosity would kill them if they couldn't get the answer out of her today.

Abigail just gave them a meaningful smile and said, "Why don't you watch my interview later? Who knows I might answer that question..." Abigail let out a soft giggle as she teased them.

Mr. Jones: "Miss Scarlett! Confirm the fact!"

Ana: "Abi! Just tell us!"

Santra: "This unfair!"

Richard: "Be honest with us!"

The four wouldn't allow her to avoid this question. They wanted to hear her answer right here right then.

"Hmm. Alright. It's true. Nathan Sparks is my boyfriend. I can easily clear my name about this third wheel issue once I mention this to the public... during the press con. But I have another revelation. I can't tell you now... because I want everyone to hear it during the press con. So will you trust me about this?" Abigail asked them for their trust and cooperation.

Richard and Mr. Jones met each other gazes. They were not sure about this but...

"Mr. Jones, CEO Chang. I promise. I will fix this issue. I will not drag the company down. If something goes wrong during the press con then... I am willing to retire and leave showbiz. I will shoulder all the responsibilities and face the consequence of my actions." Abigail continued to convince them.

Richard stood up and gave her a thumbs-up. "Fine. I will trust you with this. You have my permission. Mr. Jones, make the announcement. We will have a press con this afternoon! Assist Abigail with everything she needs." Richard gave his order as the CEO of the company. He chose to trust Abigail. Since he had no confidence to go against the Yan Family, he would rely on Abigail. Besides, Abigail had the biggest support... Nathan Sparks.

"Okay, CEO Chang. I will make an announcement now on our company page." Mr. Jones picked up his laptop.

"I guess, this meeting is adjourned. Let's move now."
