Perfect Disguise

"There are rumors accusing that you're a gold digger, that you aim for his money. How do you feel about this?"
The interviewer - Sharon August was closed to shoving the microphone into my face, however, I maintained my dazzling smile, which was no doubt to me, fake
"Rumors are just rumors. Especially of the speed of gossiping these days, anything can raise questions". Politely, I smiled, but inside, I was holding back from clawing into the interviewer and ripping off her face
"Anything else?". Oh my God who does she think she is.
If I had a choice, I would have shut her down. However, I'm The Ashton Irwin's girlfriend. Any wrong moves could affect his band and also his reputation. So instead, I smiled again.
"Miss. August, are you implying something that I wouldn't do?"
"No of course not. We are expecting some reactions to the rumors"
"Okay. If I'm the gold digger and only aim for the money, I wouldn't be here and answer the questions, but hide somewhere with wads of cash that won't matter to me as Ash is"
Silence followed suite. Then Sharon smiled at me. The sparkle in her eyes showed adoration? I should feel proud. However, my heart was much heavier. Not with anything, but guilt.
I'm so sorry
At this point, I don't know if the apology is directed to Sharon's adoration or Ashton's trust
