On the other hand, as soon as Abigael left Andrew's office she immediately headed back home as she planned on how she was going to introduce herself as Mrs Hart or Mrs Hart to be. She directly went to her room, ignoring her parents and took out a memory card. That being the tiny chip that contained all her sexcapades with Andrew.
Being in the entertainment industry, she knew how powerful the public opinion was and she therefore planned to use it to her satisfaction. Abigael logged into her pseudo account and started a rumour with a video of her clinging to Andrew, both giving off a relaxed couple vibe. In just minutes, the post attracted the whole industry, since she was a well know B list actress and the other one was a president of a well known entertainment company.
'Wow! Someone tell me this is true! Our goddess deserves the best!'
'They give off a very beautiful vibe! A pretty lady and a handsome gent!'
'@Hart Entertainment, please confirm the rumours, we are sitting on literal fire burning with anticipation!'
One by one, her fans started commenting and reposting, quite a number of them tagging Hart Entertainment, demanding an explanation. All in all, Abigael had successfully made it to the top searches and given herself a title alongside Andrew.
Inside the company, a woman rushed towards Andrew's office with a tablet in her hand.
Andrew frowned when a woman barged into his office without any explanation as just as he was about to reprimand her, she spoke first.
"Pr.. president Hart, forgive me for the interruption but you are on the hot search! Please take a look!" She followed by handling the tablet to the man whose expression immediately changed and one could clearly see the anger swirling in his eyes.
"This damned woman! I told...what the?.." In between his angry speech, Andrew saw different accounts blooming all at once with evidence to prove that the two are indeed together, different photos of them enjoying each other's company, photos of them gong into hotels disguised and even photos of Abigael leaving the hospital, many speculating that she was carrying the heir of the Hart family.
Andrew himself was shocked on the amount of audacity this woman possessed and he knew there was no way to refute the claims due to the terrifying power of the internet and the fans all at a go. One word from him was going to not only ruin his reputation alongside Abigael's but also affect his company since an heir was involved. The first person that automatically came into his mind was Rose making him frown a bit before trying to rearrange his thoughts. He couldn't understand why he was thinking on how Rose is feeling now after seeing the news.
"Before he could think further he received a call and on seeing him mom being the caller, he silently made a prayer as he braced himself because he knew how messy his mother can be.
"I did not raise you in such a manner son, is the rumour true? What about Rose? Have you been cheating on her??" Mrs Hart immediately vented out her worries the moment the call was connected, bombarding her son with different questions at a go. Andrew took a deep breath before affirming to his mother that Abigael indeed is carrying his child, he did not answer the question related to cheating but both ends knew what his silence means.
The moment Mrs Hart heard the affirmation of an heir, happiness bloomed in her heart but she immediately felt guilty when she thought about Rose. She brushed away the feeling of discomfort before instructing Andrew to then release a statement recognizing Abigael since she carried the Hart heir, afterall that was what mattered to her, she only felt that it is a pity that Rose was not the one carrying the child.
Andrew immediately did as asked and this once again shocked the entire industry, making Andrew and Abigael the latest couple in the entertainment industry. From his office chair he observed the reactions on the internet and felt a little better when he saw that the company was not affected and people even praising him since Abigael is equally a good actress. Once again, without his knowledge his mind drifted to Rose. He felt like if he did some little apologies here and there and tell her that this was just a stunt then she would understand.
Convinced that his plan was going to work the man let out a small laugh before his expression turned serious as he remembered how Abigael just toyed with him. He was certain that he did not love her and that he wanted to torture her to death but due to the fact that she was carrying his child, then he was definetly going to develop a soft spot somewhere for her. He did not have any intentions whatsoever of denying his own child, afterall, he wished to be a father someday.
Cora watched the trending searches with clenched fists and just as she was about to make a move, she stopped and promised to wait for Rose to sober up first because afterall, her best friend's mental health came first.
"Why have you been hiding this from us?" Abigael's mom, Regina excitedly said as she gently rubbed her daughter's hands, happiness and joy evident in her eyes.
"How could I mom.. you know we had to take it slowly.." The girl shyly replied back making both of her parents nod their heads in satisfaction as they observed their daughter. They obviously knew she had schemed her way through but obviously didn't care that much as long as their daughter knew how to survive in this world.
"In that case make sure you invite him over to the handover party. Sigh.. We still don't know who dad is going to hand over the company to but make sure you steal the spotlight and impress your grandparents." Her father Benson spoke up for the first time making the mother daughter pair nod their heads as they knew how important those two elders are and if the company could fall in their branch then they would have an added advantage to the first branch since the Katz elders did not favour the family branches that much even though for some reason Rose seemed to be their best friend in the big family!
