The next day, the news were headlined by two shocking scoops.
The first one was the mysterious beautiful woman who came along with the prominent Lee family in a private birthday party.
Lots of showbiz and business news had covered the gossip of the pretty girl who was sneakily photographed together with the number one bachelor Ian Lee.
Everyone was buzzing about Tia's identity. Some recognized her as one of the developers from BYTE Empire and had made comments about Tia's background on social media.
All the girls had felt envious of the humble Tia Kim who was able to climbed up the social ladder and be together with Ian.
Although their relationship were not disclosed, the people could tell that they are going out given how in some pictures, Ian was looking lovingly at Tia.
As the news broke, Elia quickly called her daughter in law.
"Good morning Tian-Tian, have you seen the news?"
Elia sweetly asked as she reads different columns from tabloids and showbiz websites.
"Good morning mother. No i haven't yet, what happened?"
Tia replied. She just woke up and she haven't gotten the chance to browse the internet.
"Nothing dear. I just don't want you to be shocked so I called you. Once you've seen the news call me back and we'll discuss things. Bye~!"
"...."
Elia said and quickly hang up the phone. Tia was puzzled by what her in law had said so she quickly went online and she was surprised to see the articles bearing her face online.
Not only that, her Facebook was also bombarded with tons of notifications and messages.
She tapped on her side only to find that Ian was already gone.
She looked around and found him sitting at a lounge chair quietly reading on his phone.
"What are we going to do?"
Tia worriedly asked. She became an instant celebrity overnight and it baffles her.
Ian walked up to her side and gently hugged her.
"Tian-Tian, I think it's time we announce our relationship so people won't bother us anymore."
"..."
Ian had long waited to have the world know about his wife but Tia had vehemently refused it.
She wanted to remain as a simple and humble citizen and live a life away from the limelight.
But since everything was out in the open now, she really had no choice but to agree.
"But I'm scared..."
Tia sighed. It was one of her fears. She had always been worried that people will judge her.
She had always been afraid of people's peering eyes, Ian planted a kiss on her lips.
"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
He reassuringly said. He thought if people know who she was they will have to think twice before they look or even judge and malign his queen.
