Alexander.
If there is one thing the Almighty Alexander Gareth Hilmpton detests more than life, that would be an Acrobat. A bottom feeder, a dirty chameleon, a proud irritable weathercock. In other words, An Opportunist.
BREAKING NEWS:
CEO OF HGA ENTERTAINMENT CAUGHT WITH HIS LOVER!!!
BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE: IMAGES OF ALEXANDER AND HIS LOVER.
HGA ENTERTAINMENT STOCKS GOING OFF THE ROOF.
HGA INVESTMENTS SKYROCKETING.
CEO OF HGA PROPOSING A BUSINESS MARRIAGE WITH ALLEGED LOVER.
HE HAS A LOVER!! KING OF ENTERTAINMENT HAS DONE IT AGAIN.
With a sigh and a grunt, he closed his eyes rubbing his temple gently before placing the phone in his grip abruptly on the table. When Kyla called him earlier, he didn't think it was so serious, he didn't even try to understand what she was saying because she is a very dramatic woman, but she was right.
This is kinda serious.
The rumors were spreading like wildfire and at the fastest pace. It was as though they had been waiting all their lives to catch him in the red.
"Tsk..." He scoffed.
Without much thought, he picked up his phone and dialed 'Freak Manager ' and in one ring, she picked up.
"Yes, sir".
"Kill the news". He ordered and ended the call, rising from his seat and exiting the dining space.
Did he see this coming? Nope, not in the slightest. A rumor about a lover that doesn't even exist! That is the craziest rumor ever. And the fact that a "supposed" picture was used to back up the narrative, it just sucks– anything to be in the limelight, those fucking paparazzies.
"Tsk... A lover indeed". He mumbled to himself strolling out of his El Classico apartment, and headed to the Black Prada that awaited to take him to the airport when the sound of camera flicks filled the air.
Shit!
Reporters were everywhere. They flooded the entire place, taking pictures and videos. Worst of all, he was in fucking pajamas!!
REPORTER 1: MR. HILMPTON, IS YOUR LOVER IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY?
REPORTER 2: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER?
REPORTER 3: MR. HILMPTON, IS THIS CONTROVERSY JUST ONE OF HGA'S BUSINESS TRICKS?
REPORTER 4: DOES YOUR LOVER LIVE WITH YOU?
REPORTER 5: MR. HILMPTON, WHEN WILL YOU HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE?
One question came right after another nonstop. They weren't backing down in the slightest. If a News were wildfire, it is the job of reporters to flame it up to a volcanic eruption. A never-ending News.
A single word from him could outburst a whole new News, and another bizarre narrative, coupled with series of interviews and questioning– welcome to the Entertainment Industry. And he didn't want any of that.
He frowned, feeling the uttermost disgust as he took a step back, not uttering a word. This was not supposed to escalate to this point, none of this was supposed to happen to begin with. If this gets out of hand and to the ears of the old man, it is going to be a huge problem.
This is bad.
How was the location of his apartment leaked?
It was beginning to turn into something else, the reporters were getting desperate and frustrated. They started jumbling up impatiently, closing him up like packs of hungry wolves surrounding their targeted prey. They weren't backing down.
But just as they were about to cross their boundaries, his bouncers filled the entire place, snatching cameras and smashing the ones that weren't backing down, surrounding the entire place.
While the bouncers were at it, his Men in black suits, paved a path as they guided him into his ride and out of sight.
