Alexander pov:
Alexander had always been charming, but when it came to the media, he preferred to keep a certain distance, a result of his distrust for reporters and their penchant for
twisting stories.
Today, however, was different. Alexander had been forced to call this press conference to address a personal matter that threatened to become a public relations nightmare for his company.
Over the weekend, he had been spotted at a exclusive club, and paparazzi photographs had emerged showing him in close conversation with a mysterious woman. The media, always hungry for a scandal, had pounced on the opportunity to speculate wildly.
"Good afternoon, everyone," Alexander began, his voice steady and authoritative. "I called this press conference to address the recent rumors and misunderstanding surrounding my personal life. As you all know, I value my privacy, and I generally try to keep my personal and professional lives separate."
Alexander paused briefly, his eyes narrowing as he surveyed the sea of eager reporters.
"However, due to some unscrupulous individuals, my privacy has been invaded, and certain events have been taken out of context. I assure you, there is no romantic connection or secretive dating going on, as some of you have suggested."
"The woman in the photographs is an old friend," Alexander continued, deciding to disclose some truth. "We Were catching up and discussing a potential business opportunity. That's all there is to it. There is no salacious Story here, no hidden romance or scandal. I simply ask that my personal life be respected and that the focus Return to my company and its achievements."
The room erupted into a frenzy of questions, reporters shouting over each other in their eagerness for more information. Alexander held up his hands, a signal for calm. "I won't be taking any questions today," he said firmly. "This matter is now closed, and I'd like to redirect the attention back to the incredible work my company is doing in the world of technology."
Desiree's pov:
Desiree nodded, satisfied that she had gotten a genuine response from Alexander. As she gathered her belongings, she waved up stage at him quickly . "Thank for sets the record straight." She heard him tell a report next to her.
Desiree experienced a whirlwind of emotions as she processed Alexander's words. On one hand, she felt a sense of relief that he had denied any romantic involvement, understanding the challenges of dating someone in the public eye. Yet, there was also a pang of disappointment as it dawned on her that Alexander had always seen her purely as a friend.
That word friend has always been there Desiree was adept at hiding her emotions, a skill honed from years of being a reporter. She maintained her composure, ensuring that her face betrayed none of the turmoil she felt inside. As the room began to clear, she gathered her belongings, preparing to return to the solitude of her office and process the flood of thoughts and feelings that threatened to overwhelm her.
However, just as she was about to slip away unnoticed, she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. She turned to find Alexander standing behind her, a look of sincerity on his face.
"Desiree, wait," he said, his voice softening as the bustling room around them seemed to fade away. "I wanted to speak with you before you left."
Desiree's heart skipped a beat as she met his gaze. "I know we've known each other for a while, and I value your support and friendship," Alexander continued, his eyes never leaving hers. "I hope my statement earlier didn't come across as dismissive of our relationship. I simply wanted to address the rumors and set the record straight."
