chapter 4

By not telling Mai any things private about her family... made it easier for her family to accept what she did. She did not cause a mess but caused a real shock to them that she was serious about her retirement decision.

On the other hand, Matthew came back to the hotel, laughing at times and frowning at other times ..... and all because of the situation he was exposed to in the restaurant a little while ago.

The film began to be shown in the cinema and since it was the first show on, the staff of artists and technicians had to attend... at the end of the show, the journalists directed towards the artists to ask questions as usual, and through these questions Matthew Hattori knew that Mai had filed a lawsuit against the newspaper that published that news about them .

Matthew did not comment on the matter and that caused an argument about his silence, so he decided to summarize the matter by saying: "I think Miss Mai has done enough to clarify the matter by raising the issue, so there is no need to raise it again. As she said, it was our first meeting and it was not friendly at all."

In the meantime, Mai and from the first session won the case against the restaurant manager according to the contract concluded between her and the manager, and the testimony of the restaurant employees facilitated the matter by admitting that the restaurant manager had done this overtaking several times and this is contrary to the terms of the contract while he is charging her reservation even if she did not come.

But as for the other lawsuit, the matter was not that easy... She won the first round by publishing a piece of news about it that violated its privacy, but the newspaper argued about the whole case, which is regarding the authenticity of the news that it is not fabricated as the opponent claims.

Matthew returned to the hotel to pack his things because his plane will take off for Istanbul in a few hours.

It was a business class seat for him, and by chance the chair next to him was reserved for Mai herself.

When he sat on his chair, Mai also came and asked him to make room for her to sit on her chair. Then they paid attention to the identity of the other and said together: "You?, You?"

Mai sat in her chair looking at Matthew strangely, and Matthew exchanged the same look.... They exchanged eyes silently from time to time.

When the plane arrived at Istanbul Airport, everyone went off, Matthew finds himself trapped in a crowd of journalists. What is worse is the appearance of Mai behind him.

and find herself trapped with Matthew in the middle of this crowd,... the security sent by Matthew's business management agency arrived half an hour later due to congestion and during this time Matthew and Mai were trying to escape, but to no avail, but thanks to the security they managed to finally get out, Matthew grabbed Mai's hand and took it with him so that she would not remain stuck in the middle of the journalists and make her go up with him in his car while the journalists did not provide anything to exploit him, their pictures were taken together while he was holding her hand while she was going up his car, so that the news and the pictures turned into a rich media material for journalists, especially after the news was previously denied and the case against the newspaper is in Tokyo.

The next day, the final verdict regarding the lawsuit in favor of the newspaper was issued, and this angered Mai , because she returned to the starting point regarding this rumor, and worse than before.

Matthew's business director tried to question him to find out the details, but Matthew did not change even a single letter from what he said in his last meeting in Tokyo , in addition, his phone did not stop ringing due to his mother's calls.

As for Mai , the situation was not better, her mother did not allow her to rest while she was interrogating her all night over the phone, and the lawyer's contacts regarding the old lawsuit and the ruling and that they should reach an agreement with the newspaper to settle the matter quickly.

Matthew's business director tried to communicate with Mai to find a solution to the rumor, Mai refused to meet her, but Asia( Matthew's business director) insisted on the matter until Mai accepted her meeting.

Asia tried to convince Mai to play the role of Matthew's beloved and that this is the best solution to the problem, and after a while they announce their separation, but Mai refused,... expressing her unwillingness to be involved in this kind of story, explaining to her that this is a reality and not a role in a dramatic series.

Asia expressed her dissatisfaction with Mai's response, so she got up and whispered to leave, but stood for a minute to say: "Think carefully. If you agree, we will protect you from any offensive media campaign, but if I insist on your rejection, we will not be responsible for anything that may happen to you in the coming days."

Asia continued walking towards the door, but Mai stopped her by asking, "I did not understand whether you were trying to warn me about something that might happen, or was that a threat from you?"

Asia turned around and said to her with a little arrogance: "Certainly not a threat, it is just a warning what will happen soon, it will not stop at a little chatter, there are those who did not like the rumor and will do everything bad against you, on our part we can deal with them You remain able to do it Se to yourself, bye. "

Asia exited from Mai's rented house smiling confidently, as if she was confident that Mai would come to her to agree to the offer and ask for help, while Mai smiled sarcastically and said to herself: "I have not loved that young man since I saw him the first time and here are the calamities afflicting me one after the other since that day. The disastrous, well whatever happens, I don't care so I'm not going to get caught up in a lie of this kind no matter what. "

Mai closed her door and went to listen to her favorite music, to start dancing without caring about what happened and what might happen.

Asia, as soon as she got into her car, called Matthew to tell him everything, so that the latter expressed his dissatisfaction with her behavior without first returning to him and taking his approval on the idea, and he told her that he was happy that Mai rejected this request..... and that he does not think that he represents within his private life any role that is not my real, and that acting is his work not his life.

Asia did not like what she heard so she hung up and said to herself, "I am wrong because I want your interests.. to see what you will do without interfering."

In one of the most important magazines in Turkey, there were those who began searching for Mai's biography in the hope of finding a loophole to start a media campaign on it, while Matthew's file was prepared earlier to appear in the appropriate time, and it seems that the time has come to use it.

The search for Mai's personal information took days to no avail, though Mai appeared to the public, but did not mention the title of her family, in addition to that her appearance did not eliminate the old secrecy about her information, and Mai does not have a black dot to be afraid of in case of revealing it.

So a different kind of campaign began, where the picture of Mai was placed on the cover of a popular magazine for news only celebrities, and the title on the cover was:

Lady of Deception

As the news contained the following:

After it was proven and by definitive evidence that the phoneme star, nicknamed Golden Throat, is Mai

She lied about her denial of the news of her relationship with the star known for his only limited relationships with women. What is the other lie that she lied to us? Is it about her alleged natural beauty, do you see at the hands of any plastic surgeon who acquired his naturalness ?!

The news was not only on the cover and inside the pages of that magazine, but it was also published on all social media sites.

So Akash read the news before his daughter herself, and after he finished reading it, he said to himself: "To see what kind of responses you will answer Mai with, you must be prepared for what is coming."

You have opened the doors of heavy wind on yourself. "
