Catch Me

15

Cassie put a newspaper before me as I sipped my cup of tea on the kitchen island. I immediately put the cup down and scanned the front page of the newspaper. The view of this photo seemed to show that Noah was kissing me, with big font of words on top that said, The Infamous Billionaire Caught Making Out!

I grunted, as I skimmed through the details just below the photo.

Caught in action...
Caught wild partying...
With yet another beautiful girl...

Well, at least the media called me beautiful.

"Can you explain to me why you're kissing your boss and why is it on the paper this morning?" She asked, with her glaring eyes demanding some answers. "Walter even saw these on some magazine's cover!"

"Who's Walter?" I was unbothered, asking.

She was about to hiss but she realized it was not up to discussion, "That's not important right now! You owe me an explanation after making me buy newspaper for the first time in my life."

I sighed, "We weren't kissing! The reporter got bad angle to make us look like we were."

"Okay," She sarcastically nodded. "Why would he lean into you?"

To be honest, I would ask the same question. Noah's behavior was unpredictable this lately. One time he purposely walked too close to me that our hands sometimes touched. And last night he teased me we could have good time if I allowed him to.

What does that mean, anyway? I thought.

My guts said he was trying to break me and give in to him just like other girls would. He was annoyed for the fact I was not affected by him, physically.

He did not need to know I was fighting myself mentally not to give in. One of the major factors would be Ryan.

"Jane," Cassie began. "I'm just worried about you. I mean, you just got together with Ryan and this came in the morning. I'm just preparing you what to say to him if he sees this."

"Shit," I cursed under my breath.

I completely forgot about my relationship slash friendship with Ryan, and how this news would affect us in different ways.

We had not had the chance to talk about us yet but I was pretty sure our relationship was sealed once we kissed. Things between us remained mystery so I had no idea how to face him with me being kissed by the most wanted billionaire on the newspaper all over town.

My phone buzzed of a new message coming in. It was from Noah.

"The media will remove our photos online promptly. All newspapers and magazines that have our photos will be seized. All will be taken care of in no time.

- Noah"

I let go of a sigh. At least Noah was quick on this. I did not realize I left my phone on that Cassie had the time to take a peak and read the message.

"Let's just hope Ryan hasn't seen this," She said, as she took the newspaper away from the kitchen.

What a good way to start a day.

Some of the people in the building had given me strange look when I got myself into the elevator. Noah promised the process of the news removal was fast but I guessed it was not fast enough.

Even Cassie got to grab the newspaper before it was seized. I was pretty sure at least sixty percent of the people who worked in this building had seen the photo. And the other forty percent would hear the news through the sixty percent, in which would make everyone in this building were aware of it.
