40. Long Way To Go

POV ENGFA

After the press conference ended, I went straight home to pack for my flight to London tomorrow.

"You're really something, Eng. I can't figure you out these days," P'Sun said with a laugh.

I smiled and replied, "You're underestimating me, P'Sun."

The press conference was just me trying to deal with all the stress lately because of the media pushing this silly story about me and Charlotte, I knew what was coming because of that damned video.

I've been thinking about a lot of things, especially how to get out of this situation.

The media has really twisted our story, and I can't let that keep happened anymore.

Even that night, when I met with boss, he was super mad. He really wanted me to break up with Charlotte because things had gone too far, in his opinion.

Flashback

"Fa! You know Charlotte's out of control! I can't control anything either, she's not part of us anymore but then again she's still connecting with Miss Grand because she's still a shareholder! now everybody's gonna eat us up! I'm really pissed right now, Engfa. You need to end this now, your relathionship has become somewhat controversy. I can't think straight!" he said, fuming.

I was sitting in a chair while he stood and going back and forth with heavy chest.

I stood up and said, "Papa, I need a drink. I'm thirsty."

He frowned, wanting to say something, but when he saw my expression, he grabbed a bottle of water from the mini bar and handed it to me.

I smiled and said, "Thanks." Then I continued, "I'm pissed too, no, I'm livid. But I'm not breaking up with Charlotte just because she made a mistake she clearly didn't realize. I'm not in that phase anymore."

He sighed, closing his eyes tightly, trying to control his emotions.

"So what now? The media is all over me, Fa! Even social media is blowing up... I'm going to discuss this with others tomorrow. Do you want to make it look like you're both on a break? Do you want to be seen with another woman? We could make up a story that you're both heartbroken and acting out. The media will eat it up and boost your names."

I laughed without humor, "That's pretty pathetic Papa, Don't you think so? Why boost our names? Look at us. Do we even need that?"

He fell silent and sat down.

I said, "Can you just trust me with this?"

He was quiet but seemed calmer. "Okay."

I smiled and said, "I need you to get that video off all platforms, at least stop it from spreading more. You can do that, Papa. Pay whoever you need to. I don't want people seeing it anymore."
He nodded.

I continued, "I need you to find out who that guy is, what agency he's with. You've got connections. I'll pay him off, make him admit in the media and on social media that he doesn't like women, that he's LGBTQ too, that he's gay. Hire someone if needed to make it convincing. I don't care about the nominal"

He sat up straight, "Are you serious?"

I smiled, "Papa, I don't want anyone thinking Charlotte is unfaithful because of this silly drunken mistakes. I want them to leave her alone. I don't want anyone interfering with us. Even if Charlotte made a mistake, I'm not letting my jealousy take over again."
