LISA.
Rumors spread so fast that even the Korean News started releasing news about me.
My artists are being affected saying they offered 'extra service' to me for them to debut fast.
And my label starts losing projects if i don't act and clear the news.
Another thing, the empire is also affected.
Everything is crumbling in front of my eyes.
Performing infront of well-known artists and broadcast worldwide, it's hard to be strong. I felt like crawling and hiding on my bed. It's hard to pretend all is well and i'm not affected with the scandal.
The photographer's voices and the paparazzi in front of the event hall is deafening.
I still go with Rosie but i know she could feel my coldness. If i were to choose, i don't want to be seen with her. I don't want to taint her image and worse drag her name into this mess.
"These are the nominations for Song of the Year.." the recorded voice of the hosts announced after a performance.
The category were Harry Styles nominated whom i worked with.
"Our Song of the Year goes to...Harry Styles Adore you!"
Everyone stood up to give an applause to him.
"Congratulations, Lis." Rosie whispered to me.
"For what?" We sit back down.
"You worked that song. He just interpret the song."
"Still, Congratulations!"
I couldn't stretch my lips to smile so i just held her hand under the table and squeeze it gently.
"..i also would like to give credits to the brain of this song, LM. She wrote this song and help me bring out the best emotion. Thank you for choosing me to interpret the song. Thank you for the trust."
A camera fanned me a while before going back to Harry.
"I also would like to clear something. LM never uses any moves just to work with me. She was so professional it's kinda intimidating. She never offered what you call extra services. Stop with the rumor. Stop with the narrative that the reason she rose high in this industry for a short period of time is because of that. Thank you."
I didn't expect that. My mouth were slightly parted as he talked.
He went backstage and another performance was held. After a while, i saw him approaching our table.
"Congratulations!" Rosie and i greeted.
"Thank you for defending me but you don't have to do that." I said as i hugged him.
"I just..hate how they want to brainwash everyone about you. You are amazing, Lisa. You worked hard to be where you are right now. Thank you. If you ever need a help, i'm always here."
"Thank you."
He went back to his table as Rosie excused herself to prepare for her solo stage. Harry was the first person who defended me in public.
When Drake and I's song won an award, Drake pulls me to the stage.
"You should use this platform to clean your image." He said.
He voiced out his prepared speech, "... thank you Harry Styles for standing up with LM. I say the same. LM is just too good to be true. Don't think for one moment, she use people just to be where she is right now. Just because she started late in this industry, doesn't mean all the good things are because of another person. Working with her was the best thing happened to me this year and i maybe old in the industry but i still learn a lot from her." He passed the microphone to me
