Overnight, the post was published with a few reposts and comments. Nonetheless it hit headlines early morning, with an increasing count of 1.4 million views and a couple of likes.

After taking a few pictures the reporter rushed revealing a post of the two Alpha women identified as Vaani Arison and the unknown new girlfriend. Broadcasting the two leaving from an assumed date, intimately embracing the mysterious girl. Scrolling through the comments it read:

'Vaani has a new girlfriend!!! Cute!'

'She's pretty cute. But who exactly is she?'

'Awww why couldn't it be me :('

'Two alpha couples? Been seeing that a lot recently'

'Who is this wannabe lmao? Her last girlfriend was prettier.'

'I thought she was marrying the youngest Kimiko daughter.'

"Where the fuck did they get that from?" Regarding the last comment, Vaani could only laugh humorlessly as the comments were complete nonsense except where they stated Malaya's beauty. Although it did, however ruin her mood, how exploited the posts were being used.

The several miss calls from her father and her assistant didn't make it any better. Persistent ignored calls along with new messages.

Call me. Now.
Delivered 8:13am

Stop ignoring me and answer the damn call.
Delivered 8:15am

Vaani Arison, answer me now.
Delivered 8:19am

She could only roll her eyes in annoyance knowing the absurdity her father could only think of; familiar with Vaani's player status. Now broadcasted on social media, he could only be in shame. Wanting answers her father personally ordered Vaani's assistant to drive her to the main residence.

Despite going against her father's wishes, Vaani wanted to know who uploaded the post and take it down as soon as possible.

She made a call regarding some help from a well skilled programmer. "Hey. I need a favor..."

Meanwhile...

Malaya didn't get much sleep last night. Often reminiscing her intimate moments with Vaani. She could only rethink Vaani's complexion that led up to that kiss. She touched me, we walked together side by side, then...we kissed. Ahhhh. Why did she do that? Does she like me? Do I like h—

Kicking her feet like a child, her alarm cut her off. Unfortunately she stayed up all night alongside reminding her a new day had begun.

Malaya groggily got herself up from bed suddenly having her ears ring. Yet she walked towards her restroom preparing a cold shower to hopefully spike up some energy. As she got out the restroom she quickly dressed in her work attire, quickly heading out the door; knowing there will be coffee provided at the company. One that she desperately needed.

Once she arrived at the company her ear ache worsen. Walking in she was often stared at by coworkers which made Malaya uncomfortable, proceeding to quickly head towards the office's kitchen. With two cups of coffee she headed to Ren's office.

"Good morning." An exhausted tone radiating off her words.

"Good morning, I assume that post kept you up at night? I didn't know you were that close with my sister that quickly."

"Sorry, what are you talking about? What post?"

"The one with my beloved sister and my secretary relationship." Ren playfully mocked.

"What relationships? We're not in a relationship, you're mistaken." She awkwardly revealed. Stepping towards Ren to give his cup of coffee. A daily necessity for the president.

"Oh well there was a post published regarding you and my sister's relationship. It's now trending on many social media platforms. Though may I say you guys do look good for each other." He grinned, motioning her to come forward.

"Wait what really?! No no they're mistaken I'm not in a relationship with Vaani. Where did they get that from?!"

"There was a photo published." He answered while taking a sip of his coffee.

"Well they're wrong so what now??" She nervously questioned.

"Mm I don't know, that's up to my sister. Bet she's having a hard time with the chairman."

"Oh god...why would they spread rumors when they don't even know if it's true?!" So annoying.

"It'll be fine. The chairman would probably shut it down, this isn't the first time."

This isn't the first time? Unfortunately a few years back Vaani was captured with a man speculated to be dating just like the position Vaani and Malaya are in now. It was quickly shut down when the man turned out to be an upcoming co-star filming with Vaani.

Yet Malaya didn't know this, as she could feel a bit unsettled as it seems this is a common occurrence. Was she just a play thing? Again...?

"Ah..well I'll just leave it up to her. I'm going to start the paperwork you requested. I'll take my leave." Malaya bowed leaving Ren office unnerved.

As she entered her office she could only wonder what the post published. Searching up 'Vaani Arison' a couple of articles pop up. Nonetheless a couple of millions of views and likes supporting how big Vaani is. Malaya would've never thought she was hanging out with such a person.

Malaya clicked on: 'Vaani Arison's new girlfriend and an Alpha?!'; where both Vaani and herself leaving the restaurant. How does this make us look like we're dating?! This is so dumb.

She sighed, exiting the article. How ridiculous to assume someone of dating leaving a restaurant together.

Malaya had enough yet a new article popped up reading: 'Vaani Arison is a player??'. She reads it, as an Omega was accusing Vaani as a player. Including the fact that her so-called girlfriend wasn't her girlfriend.

The Omega states, "I unknowingly met Vaani at a club a few days ago, my clumsiness got the worst of me and I accidentally spilled my drink on her. She offered me to pay in sexual service but she suddenly saw the woman that's being announced as her girlfriend."

"However, she was with another man I believe so, I doubt they are dating unless she's cheating on Vaani." Malaya fumed with anger, she was labeled as Vaani's girlfriend and accused of cheating. She could no longer stand reading falsely used information. Malaya slumped onto her desk internally crying, how did she get into this? And why?

Was it really true that Vaani tried to hook up with that Omega at the club? Was she one of those girls who's being played with...again? Yet how did Vaani show sympathy for her if she was going to do the same?

All these thoughts circulated through Malaya's head yet she could come up with an answer. She could only internally cry more; but she had work to do, this could be dealt with later. Malaya started her work however it was still bugging her.

Why should I care if I was played with by her? Do I  like her...?
