Ace was absolutely right about us not having that much time. Even now, he was still hiding away from all the reporters. Just like the times before, the reporters would not rest until a public statement was released. Even then, it may not be enough to calm them down. We couldn’t just ignore this matter and pray that the storm would pass on its own. Sooner or later, I knew that the two companies would have to make a public announcement to address the rumors.
This was where my decision would come in and it was probably what Chairman Chase had been hoping for. The real question was, what should we announce during the public announcement? Should we announce that the rumors are true, and that Ace and Elizbeth are in fact dating? Or should we simply deny the rumors of their relationship?
Now that I had to choose between my personal feelings and the greater good and the future of our relationship in the long term, what should I choose?
