"El Lay magazine's sources said that those photos were not photo shopped. The woman found in those is none other than Jaymes herself." Says Savanna with a hint of irritation.

"Oh my God! How can she do this?!Having an affair with a"

I silenced her by raising a finger. She stopped at once. I've been browsing the magazine for I don't know how long. These snapshots really are Jaymes. She had made Cedrick a complete fool.

"This matter had been pestering the web since this morning," I stated.

"This would certainly ruin everything. It hasn't even been published, but a lot

Possible. This is a huge story of the year and this would make a lot of money for the company. The board wouldn't be happy if I hold the release of this stupid mutt.

Snapshots I've taken during their events together. It seems far beyond history now. I can't even imagine what would happen if the news broke tomorrow.

"Jaymes you are so stupid. What have you done?" I asked Jaymes' picture shaking my head in disbelief.

After staring restlessly at the pictures, I decided to wander idly in my phone contacts. A sudden idea popped into my head. Then, I found the number I never thought I would be calling again.
