reaction.
Shaking her head, she turned around and walked off the dance floor, but not before calling Gabriel and Asshole to his face. As she weaved through the guest, she heard some of them whispering about what had just happened and ignored it. But she probably shouldn't have. Maybe if she had taken action then, photos of the incident wouldn't have become a hot topic to social media and the press, less than a day later.
Disaster Overnight.
Overnight, that's hour long it had taken for Leontica's net so pevceful life, to take a stablet tons, for the wise,
Now this wasn't talk about Gabriel's actions that night, no, the kiss had nothing but at the same time everything to do with what Leonica was facing and she had sworn that she would have alone to pick with Gabelebconcerning his constant actions projected solely to annoy her, once she has wrensstelly
sorted the mother at hand.
And what was the said matter thai habcaused her so much freeble in a matter of mete luurs? Simple; Lasaked photos of she and Gabebi kissing,, or better yet of cabriel kissing her. But no one knew that, at least those she hab't explained the situation in People Ble thuse brataless cotshlees, win even though were entitled to their opinion, couldn't use their sense, and type tissonable things in comment sections of anticles,
At first, their late night comments hall started out as speculations, harmless ones. Somente, obviously too jobless for their own good, started a delate on it Angelina's meent with Gabriel had been cancelled because of Lenica's interference. A few hours went by before that one eminent began to have a huge impact on the entire store and without knowing the full story or even bother to hear her side of the story, which she didn't even want to give, seeing as only she and she alone was entitled to the events that happens in her life, People all over social media tagged her all sort of names, Tome wrecker" "Fancé snatcher' 'Shameless mother', Sense et them even polig; as far as saying that Levira should be stripped of her status in the bushmas world, after all, someone who įlated to commit such a disgraceful act in public didn't deserve to hold a title in the business worlil.
Amidst all those hate comments, Leonica only saw a low people who tried to defend her, pointing out that people, outsiders especially, shoukba't jump to conclusions betore knowing the full story. But as always, the negathe side of society was pick to pobble those defenders up.
Not that she really needed them. As grateful for their support and believe in her as Leonica felt, she knew she was innocent, The rivil culprit her was the person who released those photos to the press. Sure, Gabriel had committed the act, playing a huge part in stirring the waters, and obviously she was poing to take that up with him, but even at that, who would have thought that some weinda was hurling around the comer, camera position at an angle and photos ready to be taken at any moment,
Thinking about it now not only gave Leonica the creeps, it also angered her.
With yet another sigh, the fifteenth one if Kennedy had kept count right, she placed her tablet down, hating her patrul across social media and articles that were carrying her name all around.
It was a total mess and she wasn't even sure the right action to tale, Give a speech? Dellect the blame onto Gabriel? As much as she and Gabriel wasn't on the same terms and as heartless as she may seem, Leonica couldn't bring herself to do that.
It Gabriel sullers, Ashley sadlers and then, she'd indirectly suffer. That was the motto she told herself each time she had the urge to set up a meeting and the a public speech.
And so far, the motto had restrained her from even giving the order to her assistant.
Sighing once more, this time around, loud enough to have Kennedy stop the work he was doing; Lronira shut her eyes and rested her head against the back of her chuir, only peeling her eyes open at the sound of footsteps.
Are you sure you don't want me to set up a public meeting with the press?" Kennedy questioned and watched her shake her head. Although Leonica hadn't given him the order, he could feel that was what was meant to be done. Yet Leanica Isadn't done it and was taking the brunt of the entire matter.
Was she trying to protect Gabriel? Because she still had lingering feeling for him after their tailed marriage? Kemedy silently stickered at the thought. Impossible. He may not have been present during the years of their marriage, but from all the articles he had read, Gabriel seemed like a pretty shitty husband and father to their once unborn son.
But then again, thinking long and hard about Gabriel's actions... some of Gabriel's actions lately, most of the ones he had been there to witness, Remedy wasn't sure if he was a charged person completely, but one thing was certain, from the stares and glances the man threw at his employer, he was realizing how much of an asshole he had been in the past and piece by piece was trying to make up for it.
Maybe it was that that's got her catching feelings for her ex husband once more."
"Argh! Damn you Gabriel Bryce. Why do you always have to back things up for me? Leonica kicked her table as she vented, causing Kennedy to flinch slightly and quickly take back his previous thought, praying that his employer couldn't read minds. She was already scary mough as is,
"You're twelve a clock meeting start in the next five minutes." He informed her as he placed a cup of freshly brewed coffee on her table.
Leonica stared at the cup, unlike always, she didn't reach for it, didn't show any sign of wanting to drink the caffeinated beverage, she just stared, thinking all about the said meeting that was coming up in.. live, four minutes?
Under normal circumstances, she would have ditched the meeting. Her newest sets of shareholders were nice business individuals and wouldn't mind if she missed a meeting or two. At least most of them wouldn't. But you see, this wasn't a normal circumstance, this situation was tense and hotter than the normal one, all thanks to a certain Rodrigo Homero who had been exceptionally jobless at the crack of down.
Sa jobless till to point that the moment the article became wild fire, he had pulled a string or two of his own and gotten some pretty convincing pictures of Leonica with Arvan and even ones of her with Owens, presenting it to majority of her shareholders and claiming that her indulgent image could seriously affect the company's stocks,
Thinking back to the first day she had met Owen, she recalled having heard the shunter of a camera going off in the distance but it quickly faded amongst the navy cutters of his fans.
Who would have thought that was Rodrigs in the making. But even at that, she wondered why he had kept someone to watch her. Was he also behind the person who had leaked the photo? Was this all his doing? Disaster Overight
2/2
The thought of it being so, annoyed Leonica. But the feeling of anger was soon swallowed by the dawn of reality setting in. No matter how much she'd like to deny it, Leonica couldn't handle the situation alone. Bat she was sure with his help, things would be a lot easier.
With a sigh, Leonica picked up her phone, scrolled through her contact and dialed the number she had been seeking. The line only rang for a few seconds before it was answered. "Hey. I think I need your help."
