Zeng Y/N's POV:

(Two years later)

"Great Job! Tomorrow we have the new comeback so, rest and be ready for the shows and promotions. Next group... Verivery?" I said.

"Here. We are ready for training," Dongheon said and I nodded. 

"Alright. You boys are almost pro boxers so I just need to see how you perform and do some corrections, the first two get on the mat," And so the training began. 

The majority of my groups had been debuted. We had no trainees anymore and the company's success was through the roof. 

My phone rang all of a sudden. 

"STAYC is finished with the interview and they are headed to the dorms. Did you have anything else for them?"  their manager asked. 

"Take them to their shooting and archery lessons. I have to asses them tomorrow so make sure the practice. Thank you, Ms. Kim," I said and hung up.

I watched carefully as the boys moved around and did their attack movements. They were so strong and fast and I was simply proud. They could've left me but instead, they pushed through. 

"Great. You are all doing amazing. One tiny thing... Kangmin, work on your kick. I can see you lose balance. Gyehyeon, help him a bit and he can help you with the right hook. Besides that, you are doing great. Go wash up and then go to your promotions," I said. They bowed and walked out. 

"Hey, can we talk? It's really important," Lin Fan said and Keran walked behind her as she furrowed her brows looking through her iPad. 

"Yeah, I'll just wash up-" 

"We don't have time," she said and I sighed. 

"Let's go to my office then," I walked out of the training room, into the elevator, and to my office. 

"What is it?" I said as I closed the door. 

"The stocks are dropping. We are losing popularity quickly and gaining so much hate. We need something big to help us rise," Lin Fan said. 

"What do you mean? Is JYP not helping us?" I asked trying to understand why the stocks were dropping. 

"No. What we signed with them for was training support. We have no stockholders which is just a good thing because that means they can't take their stocks away but still. We were doing great," Keran added. 

"Is there a reason?" I asked knowing there had to be a rumor going around. 

"The photographer that you called out wrote an article about you. She said that you called her mean names and that you put your hands on her. She also said that you yelled at ITZY and forced them to say nice things about you," Lin Fan said as she showed you the iPad.  

"People are starting to believe her since there is no information about you anywhere," 

"Of course... well, that was bound to happen when the company is skyrocketing. I'll make a video and release it. I will also take legal action for defamation and whatever happens, happens. Thank you for letting me know. Let's postpone any activity that's not promotions and push back comeback dates," 

"You are so collected. I like that. I'll get started on some other things and look for a lawyer," Lin Fan and Keran left the room. 

Just as they left I slid down my chair. I knew my big mouth would get me in trouble and to be honest, I didn't even care about me. I cared about my artists. The people who put their trust in me. 

"Shit!" I grabbed a pen and tossed it across the room. Suddenly I heard a knock and I tried to compose myself. 

"Who is it?" I asked with a harsh tone.
