Chapter 20 The Evidence
[Amazingbeauty: Hera fighting!]
After Alexi ended the call, he became flustered and quickly looked online to see what was going on. To his dismay, he found that everyone was talking negatively about him. Fortunately, he hadn’t mentioned his name during the call, sparing himself some embarrassment.
He only needed to dispose of the spare phone and pretend that he hadn’t done anything during his break. So, he walked back to his chair and resumed reading his script until his assistant returned.
When his assistant returned with the gift he purchased, Alexi instructed him to check his call logs. His heart skipped a beat when his assistant mentioned that Minerva had called him ten times on his personal phone.
"Call Minerva back using my phone and inform her that I’m occupied with acting in the studio, also, don’t forget to apologize about my phone being in do not disturb mode. Record videos and take pictures of me as I go about my tasks, then send them to Minerva. And remember, you never left my side and have always been in possession of my phone," he instructed his assistant with a firm glare.
His assistant, intimidated by the intensity of Alexi’s gaze, could only manage a timid nod in response. As if an understanding dawning upon him, when he was on his way back, he heard someone talking about Hera’s interview so he went online to check the buzz.
As the assistant suspected, there was indeed a storm brewing online regarding Hera. Upon investigation, he quickly understood the reason behind Alexi’s distressed demeanor. Understanding the stakes involved as Alexi’s assistant, he resolved to shield Alexi from any potential fallout. With meticulous care, he recorded a video of Alexi passionately portraying his character on set and snapped a photo of him engrossed in his script while seated.
Then he constructed a post in his own account tagging Alexi and Minerva.
[Alexi_is_my_boss: Hello everyone, I stumbled upon the online buzz surrounding Hera Ainsley’s interview while scrolling through my feed. Can you believe it? Some comments suggest that Alexi was her ex. Ridiculous! As we all know, Alexi and Minerva have been together for a year, and Hera didn’t even mention the caller’s identity. It’s common for people to have similar voices or faces. Let’s not drag Alexi into this drama for the sake of attention-seeking. It’s truly distasteful!]
Then he attached the photos and videos he took just now and posted them. Only when it was posted did he sigh his nervousness, he could only hope that Alexi’s fans would do their best and help out their idol.
Hera put down her phone after the call had ended, and was now looking at the audience and the host with an apologetic smile she added. "I’m sorry everyone, I did not intend for everyone to hear our shenanigans. Let’s just go back to the evidence, shall we?"
