How to Catch a Kitsune

Chapter 6: PR

"Alright then, Noelle. Lay it on me. Surely it isn't as bad as the last controversy that i got..."

"*sigh* You should really start taking these sort of things more seriously, Ryan. As your secretary, it is really troublesome to deal with the aftermath of everything. I'm fine with you not following the schedule since you don't have much to do anyways, but you really need to take your actions into consideration."

Noelle here is my secretary and the one that handles most of my affairs when i am away doing business halfway around the world. She helps me handle my schedules when my presidential business mixes in with my other business, and she also reports to everyone below my chain of command my status and other such information.No, i'm not leaving everything to her and have her run the country while i go dilly-dally someplace else. If that were the case then i would have resigned long ago. I still have my duties in my role as a leader and i intend to fulfill that role as much as i can. 

Besides my presidential duties, she also assists me in my business as the CEO of my own company. My company, aptly named Oligo Inc., mainly deals with wholesale retail, but recently has been looking to branching out towards other ventures because of the sudden monster related business opportunities found by a certain someone who got close with their leader. As such, my own company is by biggest backer in me becoming president. Pretty weird, but if Donald can get a loan of a million dollars, i can do this as well. Not only that, Silias also has his own company names ASciTech(pronounced A-Zee-Tek) corporation which deals with technology and research, so i think i'm fine. Don't worry, Noelle is getting a paycheck from both of these jobs.

"Right. So how does it feel to have an irresponsible, childish idiot with ADHD as both the president and your boss?"

"Berating yourself now, are we? Well if anything, i sure as hell don't enjoy it."

She pulls out her phone as i was fixing myself from the fall earlier.

"Okay okay. So what is it this time?"

Noelle taps and scrolls through her phone for a bit and gives me the phone that shows...

"This is the selfie i took yesterday..."

"Yes, yes it is."

On the screen shows the selfie that i took with the cashier when i was out buying cleaning materials with Ash yesterday. 

"..."

I continue to stare at the photo for a short while before asking Noelle.

"And this is... bad...? Somehow...?"

"Yes, yes it is."

Noelle nods. I look at her quite intrigued as to what she means.

"And this is bad because...?"

"See bottom text."

I follow her instructions and look at the lines of text at the bottom of the image which seems to be a headline for an online article. I read it out loud.

"'Picture circulating on the internet about this president's selfie is very troubling and disturbing.' Uhh, what?"

"Read the article if you want more context."

I read into the article to see if there's anything of note.

"President and prominent youtuber Ryan blah blah blah blah selfie taken with this woman yesterday blah blah blah blah questions the nature of this person... I don't see what's the problem here."

"Keep reading it."

"Fine. blah blah blah Allegations regarding his personal life mumble mumble mumble WHAT?!?! THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!?!"
