He was surprised by how bold she was. He just giggled it out.
"I...I will not fail the public, I will take care of the resort, and I will be a woman that meets your standard. All for my father's namesake and to prevent the company from falling, I will do everything to have you reinvest in our company."
"Everything?" he snickered. She nodded promptly.
"Then, I guess it can't be helped," he sighed.
Avyanna felt relieved but his words shot her in the face. "Be sure to fulfill that "everything", Mrs. Avyanna Thaddeus."
Avyanna blinked twice, he picked up his phone from his pockets and dialed a number. He went away for a while once his call was answered, and he talked to the recipient of the call. Shortly after, he came back to her, placing his phone back in his pocket. "Done. Make sure to keep your side of the deal. Everything, was it?"
"Huh?" She was baffled.
"I've reinvested in your father's company. Would you want to thank me? You're welcome." he walked away, hands in his pockets.
Avyanna scratched her head, she sighed shortly after. "Well, at least I get to save the company..."
As they returned home, Narcester noticed her sound asleep in the car as he chuckled softly. "Cute," he whispered underneath his voice.
He kissed her on the forehead and mumbled, "I wouldn't want to reinvest in that company, but, dear, all for you."
Careful to not wake her, he carried her in his arms. She was sleeping like an infant and he couldn't help but giggle at the sight. Her countenance was calmer than usual. During the daytime, when she's awake, as long as it annoys her, this pretty porcelain face makes such an irked expression that would be very obvious.
Different from how she would look so calm and unbothered during the night.
"I wonder what dreams she could have?" he smiled as he was climbing the staircases.
He twisted the knob to her room and entered. He laid her down on her bed and left, closing the door as he peeked slowly before leaving.
Early in the morning, after waking up and feeling nothing to do, she picked her phone up and scrolled on social media. It has been a long time since she tried to face the internet.
She was happy to see that the news was not giving off more negative information that would impact her emotional self. It was all calmed, the networks are very active at the moment, they were focused on the revival and rise of Klein Entertainment overnight.
Lanxter was filled with press conference appointments and meetings now that he's back up on his feet. Though it was all thanks to Avyanna's plead to her husband.
Since the news states mostly on the matter, there was nothing found that would trouble her. But amidst all the action, as she thought the day would turn out great as she expected, a clip was posted in the media which professed that she was an ultimate gold-digger.
Out of curiosity, she let her fingers decide whether she watches or whether she ignores but there was this yearning to know about it.
She hesitated but gave in to her curiosity. A reporter was speaking on a microphone, she was talking about Klein Entertainment's skyrocketing fortune at the moment. She noticed how there was not much fuss before when Narcester first invested but it was because she later found out from the reporter who accumulated such data that the name was under Dana.
Narcester never wanted that much of a fuss but what could have happened that raised his spirit to use his name for that investment and made Klein Entertainment fly up the clouds in just a night.
[This is Ivy Bernie of FeatherHeights News Station, we are currently speaking to Klein Entertainment CEO, Lanxter Klein.] she said.
[Say, Mr. Klein, what could be the reason why your company is right next to Thaddeus studios?]
She faced the microphone to him as the camera did also. He licked his lips and started to speak.
[It was all but hard work, Ms. Bernea. Klein Entertainment almost fell down the climbing ladder, soon to knowing how I was falling, I thrived and paved until I returned the company to where it was once standing.]
Avyanna's eyes furrowed. It was not his hard work. But she continued even if she disagreed with her father's statement.
[I see.] The reporter nodded.
[Mr. Klein, I heard that your daughter, Ms. Avyanna Klein married Thaddeus Studios' CEO, Narcester Thaddeus. Many netizens say it was a wedding held with fewer people, and the media was uninvolved yet there were theories of so after some evidence.]
A voice from a certain device started to rise, it was a statement from a netizen herself.
[I saw Ms. Klein in the church, wearing a wedding gown. There were parked cars there and even Mr. Thaddeus's car was there also. I theorized that they both must have married each other after seeing those little clues. Later, my suspicion was raised when a friend of mine who is employed by Thaddeus groups entered the studio and saw them together. Many tried to capture it as she said but they were soon told to delete them.]
The reporter nodded, sweating slightly, Lanxter felt very unable to control such events. He knew so well that leaks would go off.
[That's...such a light-hearted accusation. My daughter just graduated from Business School. I would rather prepare her to be my successor than marry her to make my company outstanding once again.]
His lies rang through her ears as she watched how her father denied the implication of wrongdoings he did that inflicted her so badly.
[Then thank you for attending an audience with us. We'll be back with some fresh updates only here on FeatherHeights News Station.]
The clip ended and comments popped out.
[Hansen D: They even try to hide it, admit Lanxter, you raised your daughter as a slut.]
[Benjamin M: The way he speaks so professionally almost made his statement believable.]
[Dakota J: A liar for a father and a gold-digger for a daughter. How foolish! We all know how you get yourself to the top. You must have threatened Mr. Thaddeus that made him want to marry such an unpleasant woman. Tsk.]
[Jean M: So sweet and charming, her appearance was captivating and I thought she was a goddess. I ignored the statement before about her being extremely rude to the paparazzi, reporters, or the media themselves but this was just out of the line. Sorry, Ms. Klein, I can't side with you in this, the girl has evidence.]
[Wayne Q: Guys! Felicity Vargas, contracted actress of Thaddeus Studios updated a tweet! It says:
"Better off a rag than a pretentious high-class slut."
I'm sure who it's meant for.]
Avyanna's head throbbed with anger, she was rather panicky and angry at the same time. She can't help but think how cruel people were. It was a scheme to bring Klein Entertainment back to rise, she never knew that she'll face this much hatred would meet her the first week she gets herself tangled in this business stuff.
With overwhelming anger, tears started to feel the corners of her eyes as her sight turned blurry. A knock was banging on the door gently. She immediately wiped it away.
The door creaked open as it revealed Narcester wearing his suit.
"Avyanna?"
