Daniel's POV
I woke up really late, getting ready to go to work. I was thinking about taking a day off because I wasn't ready to face anyone but I don't trust other people taking care of Utopia. Before leaving the apartment, I took my phone out and checked my email. I noticed the red number 1 on the message app so I clicked on it. I was a message from my sister Dana. I immediately knew it was about what happened yesterday so I ignored it and left my apartment.
I parked my car in the VIP parking lot of Utopia. It wasn't as crowded as the regular one. I opened the door and got out, confidently walking to the entrance. I gave the staff a soft smile and made my way to my office on the top floor. I heard a loud heels tapping sound, it was coming toward me behind my back. Someone was trying to catch up with me. I stopped and glanced to the side to take a peek of who it was, it was my assistant Victoria. I turned around and saw her with hands on both knees, panting. I crossed my arms and waited for her to calm down.
"S-Sorry" She panted. I shook my head slowly to let her know that the apology wasn't necessary at all. She finally stopped panting so I turned around again and continued walking to my office. Victoria walked beside me, about to say something. I assumed it must be important since she can't wait until we get inside.
"Sir, you are on the front page of the news again. There's a rumor that you and the CEO of Rein are sibling. A lot of people were shocked about this and demanded for the truth. There will be a bunch of journalists and paparazzi following you today. It's up to you whether or not you want to give them answers" She looked at me careful. My eyes were wide opened at first but then it bursted into flame. I was angry. The news spread so fast. Who told this to the press anyway. The only people that involved in this was me, mother, Dana and David himself. One of the three of them must did something sneaky behind my back.
I got to my office door, unlocking the code next to it. I swung the door opened and took off my suit as soon as I got in. I hang it on the hanger thingy and readjusted my tie a little bit before sitting down behind my desk.
"Is the rumor true?" Victoria asked as she silently closed the door. I forgot she was in the room with me too. I looked at her then looked down at my desk.
"I don't know" I said depressingly. She cocked her eyebrows and tilted her head slightly to the side. I sighed.
"What do you mean?" She asked, confused.
"Whatever...I have work to do. You can leave now" I turned my desktop on and pretended to type without looking at her. She bit her lips and left. At least she didn't dare to slam the door shut. I sighed once again and stopped typing. I wondered how much the news have spread so I surfed my daily news article and my name popped up immediately on the front page.

Utopia is teaming up with Rein
"Bullshit" I muttered and knocked the trash can beneath my feet out of anger, it made a really loud thud as it hit the ground. I sighed and called the cleaner to come clean this up. I can't focus on work anymore. I need to get some fresh air.
I got out of my office and walked to the studio to find Tiffany, I didn't want to go alone. As soon as I got there, the security guard bowed and opened the door for me. I took a step inside, everyone paid their attention to me. Normally, I would smile at them and continue what I'm doing but this time I put on a serious face expression and walked straight toward the changing room. I opened the door, some of the girls were taking off clothes, some were putting on their dresses. I knew this is a perverted thing to do but I didn't have time to wait for her to change. Instead of an embarrassed reaction, they stripped even more. I didn't even look at them at this point, my eyes were searching for Tiffany. Fortunately, she was in the back, about to disappear behind the curtain. I walked faster and grabbed her wrist before she could get inside. She jumped a little and turned around cocking her eyebrows. We became the center of attention.
