"Sure man." Alec agreed without any doubt.
"Is this you apologizing??" The lady said with her arms folded behind her breast.
"We've been caught, love." Alec blurted, laughing like his life depended on it--maybe because it did. "Drake knows about our little act, see the whole crowd is shocked. It worked!"
"The reporters are here, the two in green are ours. Respond only to their questions." Drake said to Alec' ears.
The reporters stormed in, Alec could now sight the two on green shirts. "Sir, everyone is shocked! Is this your little performance that you've promised us the other day?" Said the lady on green.
Alec nodded. He caught the shocking look on the lady's face, which made him to grab her arm and lock it in his. "Yes! This lady is the newest employee at our company, and we've come up with this little drama, along with our lovely grandma Cook here."
Everything was still a shock to Christine here. Grandma Cook??
Immediately, Christine tried to pull free from his grip but the man was stronger. With a quick reciting, the man muttered in her ears loud enough to hear, but not for the crowd to.
"Act along, and you're getting yourself a slot at Maynard Corporations. Fuck this all up, and you'll be dead meat."
Christine blinked, this was happening too fast. Maynard Corporations?? Wait, was that man the family's heir?? Her eyes widened in shock as she took a better look at him. One wrong move and she would mess it all up for her uncle! The Maynard were about to make a large investment to Miguel's firm! "Me and my big mouth!--" regret filled her instantly.
"Sir, what are you talking about? From one of the audience here, it is said that you've never met this woman before!" Said another of the reporters.
"Um, actually--" Christine began to say but was cut short by Alec.
"Not green, only respond to the ones on green, two of them."
"Sir, that was an incredible performance! We heard your event planning company is anchoring the Royal house next week, is that true?"
"Green man..." Christine thought, though she didn't know how to respond.
"You are really keeping up with our activities, aren't you? True fan!" Alec teased. "Actually, you are correct. The royal house has given us the grace and honor of handling their ceremonial event next week, and we are excited."
"Sir, answer me here."
"Same here. That woman is called grandma Coco and not Cook. We want your honesty sir!"
Other reporters kept saying but Alec successfully ignored them and answered only the two reporters on green.
"Thank you, that would be all. Come on, let's leave now." He said at last, smiling and waving to the people.
"Sir! If you really know her and you are acquainted with her, what is her name!" Said a die hard reporter who either hated the Maynard family, or she just really loved her job.
At this moment, Christine knew they were toast! She tried to mouth out her name but all eyes were fixated on her.
"Of course I am acquainted with this lady, why will you think otherwise?" Alec smiled. Deep in his head, he struggled with what her name really was. "This lady is a new staff member at the Maynard Event Center, and she is just incredible. Her CV was amazing! You should see it yourself." There were just so many names playing in his head right now; Lolly, Ronnie, Abby... what the hell did it even start with!
"Miss Christine. Miss Christine Ora."
