BANKS

3 week later
"Touched down in the city.Whats the first thing you are doing?"Benji asks.

"Hmm I don't know yet.Maybe just chill at my apartment".Nemo nods his head and says "Resting after the games we had is good.I mean we are on a winnning streak right now".

Benji pats my back and says "it's all because our mid field and Right striker!".

He motions to me and Savio.Savio smirks and says "I told you we would be a deadly duo"."right".

He looks down at his watch before looking back at us."I am probably going into the agency.Mia texted me saying it was a 911 at the agency right now to get my PR ready".

He glances at me and I roll my eyes."Damn you got Banks girl number.What are you doing wrong?"Taro jokes.

I flip him off and push Benjis arm off.

My phone rings and I dismiss them away as I walk faster."Hello?".

"Hi is this Banks Carrington Jr?".
"Yes".

"I got your number from the Reyes Center.My name is Erin Munez and I'm planning on adopting Silas.And my background check approved me this morning".

I freeze and say "I..I see".

"But Silas is telling me that you are in the process of getting accepted?"."I already got accepted two days ago"I say.

"I'm asking you this now but do you want to adopt him?If not..Me and my husband will start the paperwork right now at the center and he will be moving to Germany tomorrow".

I take a deep breathe and say "Yea.I'm adopting him"."How busy are you?".

"I can meet you at the center right now".

MIA

"A model Savio?!?!You have got to be kidding me?"Luisa hisses.

Savio grunts and I roll my eyes."You do understand the whole persona you have made for yourself is golden boy right?You put that persona on yourself when you went to university.What did I tell you?".

"That changing personas is the end of your social life and media fame"he responds."Exactly!So why the fuck would you have a one night stand with this woman and treat her like shit!"

"You're giving playboy asshole and not golden boy"Emilia says."For once I agree with her"Cara adds.

"Okay well this is fixable right?You can fix this"."She's Mia Campbell.Of course she can fix it"Luisa says.

I smile at her as my phone rings.I look down to see Banks calling me."I'll call him back later.Now let's get to the matter at hand right now.We need to fix this asap".

"Your next game is only two days away and it's at home.Right now public support is at an all time low"Luisa says.

Cara motions to the tv screen and points."You've lost over 25k followers in the past 24 hours"."That's a bad thing?".

"That's a terrible thing.The biggest is how you haven't responded at all"Emilia says.

I nod my head and say "What we need a tweet.Or a video that will appeal to the fans".

Emilia shakes her head and says "A tweet won't work.It will show how he doesn't care and is just trying to save face.I say you do a video".

"Alright well let's get a camera crew in here"Dante says."Hell no.It needs to be authentic.If we do that it will turn out bad and against us".

"Cara is right.It need to be authentic.And it needs to be real".

I turn to Savio and cross my arms."Right now this isn't PR.This is coming to terms with the consequences of your actions and owning up to your wrongs".

He looks at me confused and says "Wont that just make the people hate me more?".

Dante shrugs and says "It's better if you are seen as sympathetic than an asshole who doesn't care".

He frowns before holding his hand up."What if I bribe her".

Emilia rolls her eyes and says "Wow classic famous celebrity move there,Savio.Let me give you some advice.Ive been working with celebrities for the past five years and bribery is absolutely not the way to do it".

"No matter how quiet you think it is,it will never be kept a secret"Cara adds.

He groans and says"Why is this such bullshit".

My eyes narrow and I say "Maybe you shouldn't treat woman like they are objects and toss them away when you're done".

"Fucking right.You did this shit to yourself moron".Luisa crosses her arms as he shakes his head.

"And here I thought It would be a good meeting after meeting the guys".
"What?"I ask.

"We landed from the game a couple of hours ago.And Ive been taking your advice on being nicer to Banks".

He tilts his head and says "Though he was in a rush after a phone call happened.I never send him rush out that fast".

My eyes widen and I clench my teeth.I can't believe I missed his call this bullshit.

Matteo walks in and says "Alright we need a solution for this.Its all hands on deck.I got this problem and Zayn Harts just announced his retirement from Rugby".

My eyes widen and I say "What?But he's only 25 years old"."Exactly.So you know that the tabloids are going crazy right now to try to figure out the real reason as to why he is retiring.But enough about him.I have another team focused on him".

He sits down in the seat and looks at us."What solutions did you find for Savio?".

"A video posted onto his social media platforms as well as the teams public social media page".

He nods his head and says "Well we need to get the social media manager for the club down here now".

Emilia nods her head and says "I already contacted her sir and she will be here in around 30 minutes".

He smiles and says "Good job Emilia.Way to stay ahead.Now the rest of you,I want you to draft up a script for this video"."Actually we thought it would be more sympathetic if he didn't this from the heart".

Matteo nods and says "Okay okay that can work.Well at least draft some main points that need to be said while also being heartfelt about this".

Matteo glares at Savio who frowns."You are a professional athlete.As your managing company it's our job to help your brand and get you focused on the future.This behavior cannot happen again,understood".

"Yes"Savio says.

Matteo nods his head and stands up.
"Alright you all have your tasks and your jobs,get to it!".
