[EXCLUSIVE] Shares drop, Contract Termination, Postponed Activities, Maria Anne went AWOL - Is This the End for Fly High 'Empire'?

Reported by Joanne

It's been a week and more and more news and backstory unveiled. The things that Maria Anne desperately trying to hide now had come to public attention.

#Maria went AWOL

Since the breaking news last week, I have been trying to contact Fly High Company representative for more information but to no avail, I was refused. Or can I say, I was blocked (?) But not only me, the other journalist also being refused. No press conference, no statement. No nothing. Not only we can't get through the company for information, there's also zero movement from Maria Anne. No one saw her since that day. So where is she hiding?

#What happened to Rion and SIRIUS now?

As we all know, Rion and SIRIUS is the diamond of Fly High Company. Rion was preparing for his world tour and SIRIUS was gearing up for their first comeback since debut. But with all the things that happened now, their official site shares a similar statement;

"Hello, this is Fly High Entertainment.

First of all, we would like to apologize for all the fan that had anticipate the (comeback/tour). Due to internal circumstance, all activities under Fly High Company label will be postponed until the later date.

For those who want to ask for refund, please proceed by clicking the link provided.

Thank you."

So what is the fate of Rion and SIRIUS? Unknown and unclear.

#Resignation and compensation

Not only it's about Maria's personal scandal, within this week alone, there's report on bribery, breach of trust, unfair trade and also slave-like contract happened in Fly High Company. The company was raid to the point, no staffs can do their job well. Thus they release statement for their staff to turn in their resignation letter and offered those who resign, a month of their salary as compensation. Of course those who stay are very much appreciate and were asked for unpaid leave until further notice.

If I was one of the staff, I would resign and get the money rather than waiting for the fall of the 'empire' and get nothing out of it. Maybe this is one of the reason why our parents always told us to be humble and be kind to others. We are not always on the top.

"Nombor yang anda dail, tiada dalam perkhidmatan. Sila-"

Talian dimatikan. Hui mengeluh berat.

Dia bersandar pada kerusi.

Maria, kau kemana...

Seminggu berlalu sejak hari itu dan Maria langsung tidak dapat dihubungi. Hampir berpuluh- tak! Beratus kali dia menelefon Maria tapi semuanya tidak bersambung dan diangkat oleh operator.

Puas dia mencari Maria di tempat yang Maria selalu pergi namun semuanya hampa. Puas juga dia menelefon keluarga Maria, Fiffy, Ahnaf dan juga kwan-kawan Maria, tapi semuanya berikan jawapan yang sama; "Maria tiada dengan kami. Kami pun tidak dapat menghubungi Maria."

Hui kusut.

Kat mana lagi aku perlu pergi...

KNOCK! KNOCK!
