Chapter 141 - For The Record, She Is A Virgin...

Zeya sat in front of her mirror and sighed. She looked at her phone and thought about Sebastian's words to her.

''Netizens must be cursing me out by now. A lot of people don't even like you, Zeya. Why do you always bring trouble to yourself?''

The phone on the table started ringing and she answered it immediately.

''Hello, sister Lylia''

''Zeya, are you alright? Mikael just informed me about what happened'' Lylia sounded worried.

''Mm, I'm fine. But, I've brought a lot of trouble to the company and you. I really didn't know things would get out of hand. I should have dealt my issues with Lucas more maturely''

''There is no need to blame yourself. You are my artiste, I am here to deal with the troubles you cause. I already contacted the PR team. Tomorrow we will release a personal statement. I just wanted to discuss with you first. You and Lucas have had a secret relationship all these years. It is impossible for it not to come out now because a reporter who was there already recorded some of the things that happened there.

In order to protect you and make sure this doesn't harm you much, my husband and Mikael suggested that we let out the fact that you and Lucas were dating before. All though this will be hard on you but since you are the victim in this case, you will have an upper hand than Lucas''

''Sister Lylia, will this affect the drama? What if the writer changes me? I really want to be part of this drama''

''You won't be taken out of the drama, don't worry. I will pick you up tomorrow myself and then we will have a live chat with your fans. Zeya, what is going on between you and Sebastian?''

''Sister Lylia, that man was just messing with me because I lied to Lucas about being his company's brand ambassador. He just wanted to piss Lucas and it ended really bad for us''

'Alright, you must be tired. Have a rest, let's talk tomorrow''

''Mm, goodnight, sister Lylia'' Zeya ended the call and her phone vibrated. A message popped up and she clicked on it to read.

''It's me! answer the call!''

Zeya furrowed her brows and murmured, ''Sebastian Bassey?'' the phone started ringing and she answered.

''Hello''

''Why did it take you forever to get to the phone?'' Sebastian asked. He had gotten home and was now in his bathrobe, sipping wine as he spoke to her.

''I was speaking to my manager; I didn't see your message early''

''What are you doing? Why are you not asleep? Were you secretly online?''

''I wasn't online. You… have you spoken to your parents?''

''Not yet… but, they are here already. I will call you tomorrow''

''But…''

Beep beep beep….

Zeya looked at the phone and sighed.

….

''Elder cousin, why are you in the news with my idol?'' Lex said as she hurried to Sebastian's side.

''Little Miss, don't you know how to knock? What if I was naked?''

''Elder cousin, even in full clothes I have no interest in you. Uncle and aunt are here''

''How do they look?''

''What do you think? They look angry and ready to kill. You know they hate my idol because of what happened in the past''

''Alright, let's go out''

Sebastian walked out of his room with Lex. When he got to the hall and saw the faces of his parents he asked.

''Why do you look like you just came to the funeral of your enemy? I am your son'' he sat across them and sipped his wine.

''What rubbish is this, Sebastian?'' Mr. Eric Bassey, Sebastian's father asked.

''You always wanted me to be the brand ambassador for the company, I just found one for you. Now, you don't have to look elsewhere again''

''This… this Zeya is a promiscuous woman. she is always in the news, if it's not messing with a man, then is with eating out with directors. I bet she has slept with a lot of men''

''Mother, those are just internet rumours. I told you several times not to take whatever you read on the internet serious. She really did mess around with Lucas, but the others are just baseless rumours. For the record, she is a virgin!''

''Elder cousin, how did you know my idol is a virgin?'' Lex turned to look at Sebastian.

''Right, how did I know she was a virgin?'' Sebastian asked himself and chuckled.

''Can you be serious for once? That girl hurt your cousin. We can't let such a person represent us''

''Uncle, aunt. I've forgiven my idol already. What happened was a mistake'' Lex defended Zeya.

''She pushed you away. You got hurt because of her and she didn't even bother to look back''

''Aunt, back then she just had her period and was in a hurry to go and change''

''How did you know that?'' Sebastian asked.

''I took a lot of pictures that night. A few weeks later, I was editing the pictures and then I realised that she had dirtied herself. Her gown was stained a little'' Lex explained.

''Why didn't you tell us?'' Eric Bassey asked.

''Aye, you two never wanted to hear the mention of her name. I just didn't want to hear you speaking ill of my idol so I decided not to speak about it. But, elder cousin, how did you know she dirtied herself that night?''

''She told me''

''Huh? When did you two progress so much that she even told you something like this? The internet says you and Lucas Biden were fighting over my idol. Just now, you declared she was a virgin. Are you and my idol…?''

''I will never accept that girl as a daughter in law'' Mrs. Bassey declared.

''Mother, I just want to make her the face of our brand and you are already planning our wedding in your head?''

''You, silly boy. Your age mates are already married and you are still single. You've refused to go on blind dates. Are you determined to see us die before you decide to get married?''

''Or have you decided to shoot your shot at my idol? In terms of beauty, she doesn't lose out. Other things can be gradually learnt'' Lex sound excited.

''Look at you excited already. Haven't you heard your aunt? She will never allow a girl like your idol to be her daughter in law. But…'' Sebastian turned to look at his parents, ''she is so afraid of you, she wouldn't even dare to become in-laws with you''

''Eric, look at your son. He is not taking me serious'' Mrs. Bassey turned to her husband for support.

''Sebastian, when it comes to business, you don't mess around. This girl, are you sure about her?''

''Yes, dad. I am confident in her ability to help our company''

''I can't wait for my idol to become my sister in law. I have work to do as the manager of her fan club. I will let everyone know how good my idol is''

''I want to see just how capable she is'' Mrs. Bassey said.

''Mother, don't get worked up over something that hasn't happened yet'' Sebastian smiled and sipped his wine.

….

Cok Town.

Coded location.

Thomas walked into the building with assistant He, and another man. They stopped in front of the shackled man. Thomas removed the tape around the man's mouth and looked down at him.

''Let me go! do you know who I am?'' Haldon yelled at Thomas.

''Haldon, right? I know who you are'' Thomas replied.

''If you know who I am, then you should know that it is a mistake to have me here. The big boss will get rid of you once he finds out that I am missing''

''Really? then, I am waiting. Let me give me his best shot''

''Thomas, this is the list of trucks that will be going through the Yuk River into City X'' Chloe walked to them and spoke. She handed the papers to Thomas.

''Who are you people? how did you get your hands on those papers. Let me warn you. Those goods are not for ordinary people, if you mess with them, the boss will never forgive you''

''Exactly, who is this boss? Does he have a name or not?'' Thomas asked.

''Who are you people?''

''Who is your boss? Tell me''

''I can't disclose information on that''

''Then, I guess we will have to open those trucks. Find out what they contain and then invite the press over. I'm sure the person behind you will appear then''

''What?''

''Or, we could do it the old fashioned way'' Chloe stepped forehead and removed a dagger from her booths. She dived it into Haldon's knee and the latter screamed out in pain.

''I have Alexithymia. I can neither feel pain nor any emotion, so when I am dealing with people, I simply hear their wailing as noise. In short, I am going to keep poking you until you tell my boss who your boss is. Are we clear?'' Chloe chuckled and pulled a chair closer to Haldon.

True to her words, she started poking Haldon's body with the knife.

''Stop! I will tell you who my boss is'' Haldon said as he looked at Chloe with a horrified expression.
