Manuel ended the call, his pulse racing. He needed this scandal gone and fast and almost immediately the company's PR team swung into actions, denying the pictures and allegations saying it could have been taken out of context that there was no such relationship between them and the public seems to believe it or at least for the while.
Seeing the changes in the comments online, he could finally sigh in relief but just as he was about to place his phone down, another notification buzzed.
His stomach churned as he saw the latest development: the anonymous account had posted again. This time, it wasn't just photos.
It was a video.
His hands trembled as he opened the post. The footage was grainy, low-quality, but clear enough.
In the dim light of an office, his office, unmistakably, two figures were making out, locked in a passionate embrace, tangled together on the desk.
