Chapter 105 - A Beautiful Woman (2)

"Miss Silvia, please join us on the table as we have a slight problem."

The woman moved with grace. Her every movement was resplendent of a beautiful peacock. Shot could see why the people were crazy for her. She was a mixture of innocent looks and seductive movements. Shot could guess the woman's real nature but was still tempted. He turned to observe Knight if the man was also affected in any way and he was not disappointed. The man was looking at her as if she was prey. Now the question was did Knight want to eat or only kill? He would bet on the latter but one never knew.

The woman sat on the chair that her assistant had just vacated and offered to her. She was now sitting on Knight's left side. Shot expected Ah Hai to either cut the woman down to size or give in to her demands for now. But something that he had not expected happened.

In a totally charming and definitely not 'Knight' style the man smiled at the model and said,"Miss Silvia..you are only twenty four years old this year and have already been in this industry for a few years. You know if you were to claim to be engaged to me an almost thirty year old man,don't you think that it will rather negatively effect your image? Also, I wonder on whose side your agent is since he is guiding you so pathetically. You seem to think that you can back out from the contract at this juncture but that is a dangerous misconception. You have already signed a preliminary contract on the basis of which we have advanced you the money for your contract termination. Now if you were to back out,you would have to pay us back a few million dollars for breach. So you need to think carefully before you try to threaten us. As a matter of faith,I would like to also gift you this file. I think this will encourage and help you in making a final decision."

While Miss Silvia accepted the file,Knight made a gesture to Shot with his fingers. Shot felt his eyebrows reach his hairline at this gesture but followed the orders and typed out a message.

Mr Luke was curious and worried about what Long Ah Hai said and tried to lean over to take a look. What he saw made his eyes bulge and he was about to snatch the documents from her hands but was pushed down forcefully by someone from behind. Mr Luke turned around and stared at the big burly man who stood behind him. Nobody knew when the man had come in but he did not let him move.

Mr Luke stammered and tried to protest,"Silvia,this is a ploy. They want to separate you so that they can exploit you. All this evidence is falsified. Silvia,listen to me. Please please.."

There were tears in her eyes when she looked up at her agent. No man in the room could have remained immune to her silent tears and Shot got up from his chair and placed a box of tissues in front of her as well as a glass of water. Like a little girl she held the glass with two hands and drank thirstily.

By now Mr Luke's voice was starting to rise and everyone could feel it irritate their eardrums. He was silenced the next minute when Ah Hai had thrown a ball of paper into the man's mouth. And the guard now had a hold of the man's arms behind his back making him look like a struggling  fish stuck on a hook.

After a few moments Miss Silvia Grey no longer looked like a worldly woman but a vulnerable,betrayed one. In a trembling voice she looked at her agent and began,"uncle Luke, why? Why did you betray me? I thought that you understood me and would protect me against the wolves but in face you were the one selling me! And you call yourself a top agent. You are nothing more than a gig*lo! In fact you are worse because at least they don't hide behind a respectable facade."

The guard took out the paper ball and let the man speak. By now the man had stopped struggling and was glaring at her hatefully! Rudely he accused,"Because you refuse to sleep with any producers! The higher ups groomed you and made you so popular so that you would fetch them biggest producers with your beauty but you kept refusing! They had no way to force you because of your success and increasing fan base.Of course they needed to bring you down a notch! So they planned this. They asked me to make you leave the company and I convinced you to do that. And it was very easy thanks to your stupidity! Once you left the company,they would smear your reputation to smithereens forcing you to accept their terms thereafter! You were so eager to escape those lecherous offers that you accepting everything with gratitude! Long Ah Hai would have been the perfect man to begin smearing your reputation and making a mistress out of you but.."

"But I found your ploy and exposed it." ,Ah Hai finished for the man. "Mr Luke,I do not like being used. I hope you understand that. Now,you may leave the office and please don't come in front of me again or you will regret it. And do not try to use what happened just now because your deeds have already been exposed in the media." Ah Hai clicked on a remote and the screen on the front wall lit up. The breaking news made Mr. Luke so mad that he tried to actually attack Ah Hai but before he could even move an inch,he was hauled away bu the guard.

The news was still playing in the background and Miss Silvia stared at the screen as the reporter said," In breaking news today,Mr Luke of Star Set Media has been exposed of forcing his clients onto prostitution and se* trade. Mr Luke is claimed to be the biggest agent in the company and the police have claimed that they have evidence of the media company's involvement also. Mr Luke's number one client is the country's most beloved daughter Silvia Grey. We have tried to contact her and the PR at Star Set Media but both are unavailable for comment. Many small time artists have come forward and testified for this scandal thus exposing the dark underbelly of this shiny and glamorous world of entertainment."

Silvia could feel her career crash in front of her eyes and accepting defeat she said,"Mr. Long. I am sorry to have wasted your time. I understand that after this no one is going to believe in my innocence and I have no way to survive this place with my dignity intact. I will take your leave.And..thank you for saving me from their clutches..."

With that Miss Silvia got up from her chair and was about to leave but Ah Hai stopped her and said,"why don't you have a seat first,Miss Silvia? This is only the beginning for you and not the end." 

Just then another scene started to play on the news channel and Silvia  was startled as this was almost a live feed from this very room. The first thing that played was Silvia asking Mr Luke that why he had betrayed her. From there on the entire conversation was played out on the screen after which the journalist came back and started to explain how Miss Silvia had been trying to protect herself from all this fornall these years all alone. Though there were some people who did not believe in the girl's innocence,most of her fans rallied and started to support her on the internet and left her encouraging messages on her Weibo account.

Thus,on the second day of KSS Media's entry,it's biggest competitor's reputation was smeared and dragged through the mud.

Silvia Grey looked at the men on the room as of they were her heroes and falling her knees started to thank them emotionally by kowtowing to them.

Ah Hai looked at the poor girl and getting up from his chair left the office to afford her some privacy. Assistant Yang also felt uncomfortable and got up to leave. Shot was the only one who stayed and was now helping the girl sit up on the sofa. 

Seeing the scene Ah Hai nodded and then said to Shot,"Bring her up once she is a bit stable. There are still some things left to discuss."

With that the two men left the room leaving behind curiosity and questions.
