Chapter 48: Scandal
[Marianne of DIK Integrated News was spotted coming out of a nightclub with the son of Hale Construction CEO.]
[Marianne and son of Hale Construction CEO DATING?!]
Those were only a few among countless headlines Vincent and Marianne were making in the entertainment section. Photos of the two were released, but one stood out. It was the photo of Marianne holding on Vincent’s arm as the latter was assisting her. His blazer was over her shoulder and by the looks of it, it was understandable how all these articles jumped to conclusion.
Fil read the articles during her free time. Although she was still able to perform well during the meeting and meet what needed to be done, she found herself invested in these articles.
"Fil, you’ve been reading those articles since forever." Elise pushed herself away from her desk, stretching her neck to take a peek at the article Fil was reading. "All social media platforms had been so lively since this dating rumor came out."
"Well, Marianne is very popular," Fil replied, snapping her attention to Elise. "Did you finish the one I asked you to draft?"
"Almost." Elise pouted. "Can you give me five minutes to rest? I really feel like withering away if I don’t take a moment to breathe."
"Rest if you need to, but I still need the file at the end of the day."
"Yes, ma’am!" Elise saluted and then hurriedly dragged her chair closer. "So? Do you think they suit each other?"
Fil raised her brows as she slowly set her eyes on her monitor. "Well, they both look good."
"Wow... surely, that woman has it all, huh?" Elise awed. "For a news anchor, she’s more popular than other actresses. From what I heard, she also came from a well-off family. And now, she’s dating one of the most sought-after bachelors in the country. Hale Construction, that’s a big company."
