CHAPTER 14

Then she called Liam to come pick her up.

After a short while Liam came to the spot Hope was waiting to pick her up. She boarded the car, "Collect evidence regarding Ericks behavior and expose it. Tomorrow's headline should be him being removed from the project then followed by the evidences. Also make sure to clear Leo's name from the rumors. He seems genuine" Hope gave orders to Liam.

"Also gather all the information about Adrian both personal and professional."

Before she could complete saying Liam handed her a file containing all the data about Adrian.

"Not bad Liam. When did you prepare this?"

"I know you would ask about him once you went with him. But I don't know why you are hiding your identity"

She just smiled and started looking through the data her assistant has gathered about him. She was also not sure why she is not revealing her identity and thought maybe her past experience maybe the reason.

Adrian was an orphan. He doesn't know anything about his parents or any other relatives of him. He was adopted by a family at the age of 7. He graduated from art school using his own earnings and scholarships.

He also has an elder brother and younger sister from the family he was adopted by.

Unfortunately, he offended Erick once. Since then he has been pushed down by Eric and has never been given a fair chance to prove him.

Next day, the internet sites were a mess. Initially the news of Erick being removed from the project was published. His fans were making a ruckus in the sites cursing the director and the investors. After an hour, the H entertainment PR team published an article explaining the incident in detail.

It explains about the ill treatment the female actress faced because of Erick in details with photos and videos as evidence and how he pushed all the blame onto Leo. Thus, stating that the team has decided to remove Erick from the project only because of his behaviors.

After a few minutes another article was also published by the Starlight Entertainment's PR team. The article states that Erick will be sued for defamation of character for starting rumors about Leo. It also poses as a warning to others who dare to mess with the artists under Starlight Entertainments.

Everyone started to realize the truth and some even apologized to Leo for suspecting him and the number of followers in Leo's account also increased by a lot.

In the evening, Hope was busy discussing the details about the upcoming projects with Liam. Her new secretary mona knocked her door and came inside to notify her that actor Leo was here to meet her. Hope nodded her head and asked her to let him in.

After a few seconds, Leo entered Hope's office. He was a bit surprised to see the girl who innocently asked for his autograph yesterday sitting in the president's seat with a strong presence.

Meanwhile Hope gestured for him to take a seat and asked Liam to prepare coffee for both of them.

She realized that Leo was staring at her for a while. So, waved her hands before his face and brought him back to reality.

"is there anything in my face?"

"No. I'm sorry for staring Ms.president" Leo awkwardly coughed and smiled

"You can call me Hope. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"its nothing. I just came to thank the president for helping me with the rumours. But I didn't expect you to be here."

"Why am I not looking like a president of the company?"

"I didn't mean it like that."

"And you don't have to thank me. It's the responsibility of the company to look after all the artists under us."

"So, yesterday did you purposely approach me to test me?"

"you can say that and congratulations, you did pass my test."

They both talked for a while more sipping the coffee and then Leo left her office after agreeing not to expose her identity to others for the time being.
