This is so not happening! No! No!
I groaned loudly as I run my hand on my already disheveled hair while I slam my head on my desk.
"Well you have to deal with all of this, one way or another." I groaned again refusing to pull my head up to look at my cursed cousin as he shove the pile of freaking paper on my head and hit me where my so called brain is at.
You see it has been two weeks since my 'boldness' towards the turnover of the Empire and I never as in never have ever imagined that this will screw up pretty much every peace I have left and it's already freaking me out!
What happened, you ask? Let's see...
Right after that Stockholder's meeting, the Empire's press coordinator released a statement about the change of person in charge and of course as much as I want to go all discreet like I used to, they all decided to conspicuously flash not only my name but also my face on that stupid headline on business news. I almost jump out of my bedroom window when I saw them introducing me as the new OIC/CEO of the Anderson's Group of Companies when I got up after sleeping like a baby that night! I knew there would be some sort of consequences for rattling those old creepers on that fateful night!
See what I mean? Well that's not the end of it!
Not over thirty-six hours later, my whole profile has also leaked and featured on those stupid newspapers and tabloids. They even got pictures of me with braces and thick-rimmed glasses way back in 5th grade! Seriously, how did they get those? I didn't even quite remember looking like that. Ugh!
A week later and I'm still on the news with a rather interesting headline of me being just eighteen and just graduated from high school. Pretty much tainting my credibility and capability to handle a business as big as the Empire. Well to their credit, the argument is not questionable because I know that those are facts, so we did a press conference saying that I am taking up advance business courses at home and which is also true. After my long day at work, I must sit for another two and a half hour with my private tutor so I won't screw up my father's company. My professor is also one of my Dad's most trusted person in the world so he becomes my advisor.
Then after that week-long rumbling about my credibility, the issue just died down when they got information about my educational attainment. I was not a constant A student, that was Piwie but I can also use my brain when I need to. I got a pretty little brain working fine inside my head. Or that's what I thought.
But this time, another round of gossip has gone out. Things are getting nastier everyday but this is just too much! I took a glimpse of the headline once again and I felt my eyebrows twitching involuntarily due to my rage.
It reads as--'Empire's Heiress, ditching wedding bells for another lover?'
Unfortunately, the media people got this tip about the called-off engagement. And of course, they jumped into speculations that I am seeing someone else! Great! They're dragging me to all the scandals that they could think of and I can't take this anymore!
I am an instant celebrity and I want to strangle myself for not thinking this through. I could have gone with the members' plan of having some kind of a representative to face the world while I hide in the shadows like I used to do, but I know I can't do that. My parents will definitely be the first to feel disappointed if I do that.
Frustrated, I scratched my head in a neanderthal manner and made weird grunts along with it. I heard a baritone laughter and I jerked my head abruptly just to glare at Andrew who has this amused look on his face while sitting comfortably on the couch inside my office.
