His POV
Warzone
That's how it looks like inside his office
Neil shouting at various men and women
Zeny taking a lot of calls and giving apology as the senatorial candidate is not available at the moment
Various phones blasting his eardrums
Different voices giving up sorry excuse
Tv station flashing Patty's face at the corner of his office
And he's stooping at his desk. His head bent on his two arms, trying to figure out what to do. Reaching out all the corners of his brain for any speech he can use for that moment.
Patty's scandal leaked. Just at the start of senatorial debates, guestings and official campaigning
Patricia James kissing a woman. Not just a peck but a torrid one, eye shut and moaning like a cat who's in her heat.
Now people questioning their engagement. Even questioning Patty's sexuality. Why did Gabriel White took a struggling actress with a questionable sex preference?

Her POV
"Oh no!" Frida gasped. "No!" the girl blurted again and covered her face with her two small hands.
"Shhh. You're stronger than that Frida," Tin said while soothing the back of the wailing woman. Tin side looked at her with those sorry eyes. Maybe the blonde emphatic woman trying to ask how about her feelings that time.
She can't cry. She doesn't even know why. She's just surprised on that video she doesn't know how to react
"Patty, what's on your mind?" Tin asked her at last
She put her right hand on her forehead and tried massaging it, "I don't know. I don't know. I didn't remember taking that video or having one during that time."
The scandal. It's her, teaching Frida about french kissing probably ten years ago! Something that they did out of alcoholic spirit.
"What I'm gonna do? If Simon sees that…. Oh no," Frida cried again and slumped her whole body. "My wedding is in weeks!"
They we're hushing on that silent part of her house while other's are busy partying. When Lola called her, she didn't believe it until the old woman sent her the link
It's scattered already in the internet and she's trembling while pulling the happy Frida. She knew the girl should know about it first hand.
She called Christine too through phone because she can't find her and decided not to include Jb since the latter needs to go home for it's already late. Jb's pregnant, she doesn't deserve that emotional circus
"Simon would always understands," Tin tried to calm Frida
"Simon got limits too. What if…. What if…." Frida reacted
"I'm sorry Frida, I know they did this because of me," she apologized and finally cried. Frida…. She's the kindest person in the world, she doesn't deserve it
Tin became confuse on which one to sooth because both of them crying. She tried reaching out to Frida and hugged the smallest girl. The girl hugged her too and they cried with Tin's arms encircling both of them
"Be strong girls, we need to think our next step because of this," she heard Tin's advise.
Frida finally wiped her tears and faced her, "I can't remember having that video. Do you remember who took that?"
