Chapter 178: This is just a big misunderstanding.

I GENTLY PUT DOWN THE TABLOID IN MY HAND ON THE WOODEN TABLE AFTER READING THE HEADLINES. I sighed and pinched the bridge above my nose as I felt the headache squeeze firmly on the sides.

This certainly wasn't the kind of news I was expecting to hear after such a wonderful week.

Looking at whatever I was going through, I wondered what Ambrose was going through wherever he was and how he was dealing with it.

After the showdown with Adam at my penthouse, Ambrose promised me that no one was going to publish the footage but to my dismay it was all over the internet and social media. Just by listening to the video, there was no denying that the voice was mine and it was mere Photoshop.

The pictures were vivid and you'd easily make out our faces along with the outbursts between us.

Everyone could tell it was me and Adam.

To make matters worse, new of me and Ambrose also having an affair spread like wild fire.

There were videos of me on the runway sending him a flying kiss which he received and kept on his pocket, videos which I posted on my Instagram and some selfies we took. All served as evidence to back up our so called affair.

Some even went as far as including how we got close over him looking for a house for me as a states agent.

I mean, it's his job, how is that suspicious??

With all this seemingly impossible evidence, Ambrose and I needed a powerful come back to detonate this bomb otherwise, he will also be ruined.

"Am waiting for you Eleanor...." Natalia's outburst just made my headache worst. "Am waiting for an explanation. What's going on between you and Adam?? What is this??? Until now, the front pages contain images of you and Ambrose with wild captions above not forgetting the drama between you and Adam...."

"I do not wish to hear that man's name!" I erupted and stood up from the chair. The moment she looked at me, she staggered back and I smiled seeing her do that.

"Yeah...yeah you should walk back.....you should be afraid because by now you're very much aware of what I can do....." I smiled at her and coiled my fingers into fists.

"Eleanor, stop!!!" Lauren shouted and I did as she commanded me to do. I turned to her and she looked at Natalia, before looking back at me and sitting me down.

"We need to think not fight with eachother.... You're sailing in turmoil...."

"I don't care..." I cut her mid sentence and picked my jacket quickly putting it on.

"Oh.... you should care....." Natalia finally spoke. "You should. We have wasted so much money on you and all you can say is you don't care?? Our agency's name has been tarnished because of you can't you see that??? You're the girl that cheated on Adam with Ambrose and harassed the Queen of England...."

"You harassed the Queen of England???" Lauren gasped in shock. I looked at her and wondered how that piece of information had already made its way to Buenos. Doesn't what happen in England stay in England??

I scratched my head wondering how I'd handle it when that piece of information gets out.

It definitely wouldn't be good for me.

This Adam and Ambrose Drama was already taking its toll on me, I won't survive of the news of me harassing the queen spreads in the entire world.

"Apparently she did for reasons God knows why....." Natalia scratched her forehead. "I got the Intel from someone within.... Eleanor harassed Irridessa as a comeback for having Adam cheat on her with her which did not make sense at all...."

"For the millionth time I never cheated on Adam with Ambrose.....there was nothing between me and Ambrose and there ever won't be...." I said in a firm tone making sure she understands. "He's a very good friend of mine who visited me on set and had me do the runway for him because am a good model. He's a states agent too and found my house for me. What's wrong with that???? Don't friend's lookout for eachother????"

"Eleanor calm down....." Lauren walked towards me but I raised my hand at her in a very dismissive gesture. "And as far as cheating is concerned....Adam is the one who cheated on me....."

"That's a heavy accusation!!!" Natalia quickly defended Adam.

"I have proof. When I went to London to confront that Shady princess, she told me...No..no...she showed me the ring that Adam have her which he was supposed to give me...."

"The rubyred ring????" Lauren asked and I nodded. "He gave it to her????"

"He did..." I answered painfully. He surely did...

"Oh my....." Natalia ran her hands in her hair and sat down. "Now what do I do?"

"Nothing....you will do nothing. I'll handle all this...." I pulled my jacket up and headed for the door when she rushed and blocked my way.

"What?? I can't sit and do noth---"

"Then you'll learn how to...." I showed her my fierce face."How easy it was for you to throw me under the bus after reading what the internet said about me. You did the same when I wanted to throw myself off the balcony about a year ago and when Drake Anderson harassed me. It's always the money for you irrespective of how you get it...." I accused her and she remained silent her pupils losing focus. I could see the years glisten in her eyes and I knew she could agree with me.

"This is showbiz Eleanor...win at any cost....You and me are alike...."

"Hold it right there honey, you and I have nothing in common. I am nothing like you and I glady won't ever be like you.... I care and you don't...." I showed her the fierce look on my face. My heart was racing and my chest rising and falling like I'd just been in a running competition.

My mind was determined to fix everything and no one would tell me otherwise hence forth.

Enough of people doing things for me. I had to fix my own mess now. I slammed the door after hearing my name echoe behind me. I was sick. I needed a hot bath to wash away the bruises my heart had sank in

"Eleanor.....please just---" Lauren followed after me but I stopped her.

"Enough....if you ever cared about me, you'll leave me alone.....!" I shot her one more look before walking to the door and heading for the elevator. I pushed my shades back up the bridge above my nose and walked in, pressing the button that had the ground floor on it.

When I walked out, I hurried into the carpark and found Aaron waiting for me with my car. I sighed and walked towards him.

"Miss Eleanor...." he began but I stopped him.

"Thank you for your service Aaron..... I'll do on my own going forward...."

"What???"

".... Either you retire or I fire you....." I looked at him and I could tell he knew I wasn't joking. For the very first time, he looked at me with a speechless look on his face.

I walked out of the building and towards the car pack when I heard Adam's voice.

"Eleanor!!!" He screamed attracting all the media around us. He saw me and ran over to me with frustration running across his face, his eyes cold and angry as he looked at me.

This wasn't the man I knew.

He approached me like a tiger that's seen a gazelle after months of starvation. Like an angry bat, he thwarted across my arm, violently gesturing for me to look at him.

"Did you go to England??!"

Simple question. I thought. I could easily answer that.

But then, I didn't care anymore.

How he found out everything was the least of my concern. I was still lamenting the death of my ego and pride as they'd died in England.

Having gone to that place, I came back with more questions than answers. It was wrong of me to go their in the first place.

Adam was the one who needed to explain things to me. It was him! Whether he agreed or not...he had to face me and look me in the eye explaining just why he had cheated on me. What did I lack? I had to know. I deserved to. I had the right to.

"Is that all you really want to ask me???"
