"Are you sure you want this to be leaked?" Marcus voice sounded as the video showed him talking to someone while his back faced the camera.
"What do you want me to do to prevent the leakage?" Aggrieved female voice sounded, Marcus figure seemed to be blocking the woman out of the sight of the camera.
"Simple, stay in Star entertainment and reject every major work that comes your way for Mia, am sure she is of more use than you." Marcus said the last part with a tinge of disgust.
"Are you insane? That is the same as blacklisting me and it would happen anyways if that video gets leaked out so what is the use of being your puppet."A female voice cried the more.
"Well, it's different because your face would be saved so as your chance of ever getting an endorsement." Marcus said as a matter of fact.
"Why all this stress, why can you not just release the video and the endorsement would naturally go to Mia without any hassle." The female voice snorted.
"Other companies have stars that are more popular than Mia if you all, go it would not only taint Star entertainment reputation, it would also affect Mia, do you think you are the only one I got dirt on?" Marcus asked, "Everyone, every single person in this building are like puppets under my control, so deal with it." Marcus added with a cynical laugh.
Amelia decided to leave the rest to everyone's speculation as the screen went blank.
Everywhere was still as silent as it was when the video started with everyone casting glances at each other unable to believe what they had just heard, so the idiot was putting a goldmine in trouble after finding a rusty iron so he could polish the iron to shine instead of finding gold, well that was absurd, everyone thought.
Mia saw the glances everyone threw at her and Marcus and felt a bile in her throat, but suddenly calmed down even if people pointed fingers at her she could just say she knew nothing of it and was told by Marcus that those deals were given voluntarily.
Marcus suddenly started laughing into the microphone with a happy smile hiding his distress that was shown on his face a moment again.
"This was me helping an actress for a scene in her drama, I did not expect it to be publicized here, I used Mia name there because as you know am not quiet an actor so I had to use someone that I am familiar with to get into the scene quickly." Marcus said totally changing the situation as the people who doubted him just a while ago believed but not all of them, the lie was to weak and did not manage to sway everyone over as they say seeing is believing', so how can words fix everything but it was best to remain mum on this matter, after all it was none of their business nor was it their concern to begin with.
Amelia looked at the podium with a calm expression, she knew that it would be clarified but did not expect this flimsy excuse, at least the rumor was sparked now.
Seeing that her job is done there, Amelia picked up her things and headed out paying to mind to the merriment that went on inside the ballroom.
"It's really bad manners to leave your groom alone." Damon said as he trailed behind Amelia into the hallway.
"Calling yourself that, did you not hear all what I said this morning or is your ears just pouring it back out." Amelia hissed at the fellow annoying her.
"I was not at your place this morning, or did you perhaps dream about me." Damon said in his usual seductive smile.
"I do not even know your name." Amelia hissed at him.
"Oh that is true, I can not believe I missed a vital info, if not how will you moan my name." Damon said before pausing, Amelia almost felt like punching a hole through his head, did he not get the point of being a stranger to her, what does his name have to do with moaning.
"I am Damon Hilter." Damon introduced finally, "but you can call me daddy." He added with a mischievous smirk playing on his face.
"Why in the world would I call you daddy." Amelia grimaced at the thought.
Without saying anything else, Damon pushed Amelia against the wall and started kissing her lips hungrily.
Being pushed against the wall suddenly, Amelia suddenly felt a tinge of gladness they where alone in the hallway if not how embarrassed would she be.
Not satisfied with the kissing, Damon hands went downwards towards the gown she is wearing, entering through the slit, his hands massaged her thighs gently then suddenly raised one of her legs up as he tried to pull her closer to him.
Drowned in pleasure, Amelia did not know when she unknowingly let out a moan that caused her face to flush almost immediately, how could she be so.... damnit, all that Amelia wished for was to be let go by the man that was ravaging her mouth before she lost it completely.
Letting her lips go, Damon bent to Amelia's ear and whispered slowly, "This is why you would call me daddy." He said in a low husky tone.
Snapping out from her reverie, Amelia pushed away Damon from her body glaring at him but was unable to bring out words to say, in the end all she could do was turn her back in anger.
Damon watched her retreating figure with his smile leaving his face as his cold eyes glanced at the entrance of the ballroom before he grumbled something to himself and went back into the room with all reluctance, sluggishly dragging his foot on the rug.
As Damon left a thin figure with sliver hair appeared from the shadows as his hands gripped the pillar beside him tightly till a crack appeared on it and it finally shattered, snapping back to reality he looked at the scattered debris on the floor before walking away without paying it no mind.
It was not over until it is really over.
