“Please investigate on the matter.” Evan nodded. He turned to look at the petite lady beside him. He was well aware that some things shouldn’t be said in public, hence, he went ahead and took the elevator with his assistant.
The young man who was pinned to the ground was handed over to the police.
After Evan was gone, the carpark was quiet once more. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Jake looked at Anya. Being a gentleman, he comforted her, “Anya, don’t worry. I’ll take care of this matter. You can have a peace of mind and do what you need to.”
How could she not worry? This issue was fatal and could potentially sabotage her design career in future. Since she did not have any other solutions yet, she needed to take it easy. “Okay.”
Lola Mars‘ fame was beyond the charts. Before noon hit, everyone was talking about her on the internet soon after the news broke. Many marketers and gossip news portals started to follow in on her news. Even her fiancé was not spared. Someone dug out information about him despite how well Lola had kept it under wraps. He was an Australian Chinese, currently a CEO of a local renowned investment bank. He came from a wealthy family and had accomplished a lot in his career life even he was still young. Fortunately, only the details were released and his photo was not made known to the public. Otherwise with Lola’s character, she would have hit the roof.
Nevertheless, this news had affected her mood severely. Engagement was supposed to be a happy news. But because it was made public, netizens had been lashing out nasty comments at her.
Some said she was a liar for pretending to be single and went onto matchmaking variety shows despite having a boyfriend. Because of the news, she had also lost some fans. It was tormenting for her. Her
initial intention was to slowly release hints of her engagement and finally announce about it when the time was right. Who knew Anya would expose her and
disrupt her plans?
She didn’t even dare to log into Twitter. She feared to read the comments calling her a liar. Although Lola had no intentions to continue her career in showbiz for long, she was passionate about her job and she didn’t want to leave immediately Ultimately, it was Anya to be blamed for all these she was made to go through.
Lola was mad, but she knew she should not be angry at her because Evan was interested in Anya and he would definitely help Anya out on this matter. Lola could only swallow her rage and keep it within her.
Her fiancé had comforted her saying it was alright since it was a matter of time that news would be made known to the public. But Lola did not want it to be announced in this manner. She had plans to announce it via her official twitter account, which would be romantic and potentially receive a better feedback from the public. After all, a wedding engagement was an once–in–a–lifetime occasion. She wanted it to be perfect, which was why she felt frustrated about the whole issue. Men and women had different mindsets about this. Hence, her fiancé was not upset with the leak.
Luckily, Lola’s good friend Rain came over to check in on her. Rain hugged Lola, “Lola, don’t be sad about it. It can’t be helped that your engagement news had already be made known to the public. Why not hold an official press conference
and admit the matter?
“Be earnest and truthful. Your fans will still love you.”

Lola let out a sigh, “The main issue is that I went onto a dating variety show previously and got paired with a male actor. Now, they see us as a couple.”
“What’s the big deal? In this day and age, all these variety shows were meant to entertain and shouldn’t be taken at seriously. Don’t the netizens know?” Rain peeled an orange for her as she spoke. “But this matter was being exposed by that woman Anya MacMillan, right? Is she out of her mind?”
“What did your cousin see in her though? Rain did not suspect the lie that Anya and Dan were dating. She said distastefully, “She seems horrible as a person.”
“I don’t want to talk about her.” Lola loved the wedding gown that Anya designed for her and she was looking forward to the finished product. But this ordeal left a bad taste in Lola’s mouth.
She couldn’t care more that Anya was someone Evan saw highly of. She was done with her. She wouldn’t be inviting Anya for the pre–wedding vacation.
On the hind sight, Lola felt apologetic towards Rain for keeping her in the dark about Anya and Evan.
