Chapter 55: Trapped by the devil [3]
The morning began in uproar inside an entire floor filled only with unaligned desks stacked with disorganized papers and folders, monitors blinking, keyboards clacking from fingers typing nonstop, heels hitting the stark white tiled floor running from here and there when a young girl slid past the entrance in a hurried manner and shouted atop her lungs.
"BIG SCOOP!! THE SOLE HEIR OF DV GROUP AND THE FOURTH HEIR OF HORIZON FOUGHT OVER AN OMEGA!!"
Her words echoed through the entire room. The heels tapping the tiles halted, and the fingers rapidly pressing the tiles on the keyboards froze as though they were caught in a time freeze. Heads turned to the young girl who was in her early twenties, an apprentice under a not-so-well-known journalist, with tired faces filled with bags under their eyes and wrinkled lines from lack of sleep.
A moment of silence settled. Then, in a blink, the place exploded with words bombing the news bearer.
"Where the hell did you get that?!" A bald man appeared and shouted back. He was an editor in that small newspaper outlet.
Another journalist called out, "What’s your source, girl?! Spill it!"
"It should be worthy of our time for disturbing us like this!" An infuriated tone followed.
The young female apprentice surrounded by veterans in that career felt pressured under curious and anticipating gazes. When she received that rumor from her source, all she could think of was to leak the news to her superiors, now that she did, she suddenly felt cornered by hungry gazes, like a weak animal getting threatened if she won’t give what she has. The young female apprentice gulped and stammered, "M-My friend working at the HZ Clothing Brand saw it herself. She told me what happened."
Her superiors exchanged glances. The bald editor then walked to her and put his saggy arms over her shoulders, "Now, why don’t we talk about this in the office? This is a good opportunity for you! Let’s talk inside."
The two then entered the office and the shocked faces of the other ones in the room from the news were replaced with hopeful looks. If the news were proven true, then that would be a big scoop indeed.
A rivalry between two alphas, heirs to their own kingdoms, for the affection of an omega! Not only a scandal will break as one of those alphas is currently engaged to a famous personality. There’s no way the editor-in-chief will let the young female apprentice take over.
