The atmosphere was tense and no one spoke a word. Looking at the shocked and lost expressions of Richard and Mary, Amy had quite a headache thinking about explaining. But first she has to send Tom away, so she can deal with others. She looked at Tom beside her and said to him in a low voice: "Tom, you can go do your things. I will talk to you later after settling everything."

Tom nodded and said: "I will go, but do you really not need my help with explaining. I can help you with it."

Amy hurriedly denied: "No need, I can deal with it. Just give me sometime with them." she kissed him on the cheek and sent him away hurriedly without waiting for any refusal. She's already very nervous, and there's no way she can talk to Richard and Mary calmly in Tom's presence.

Tom who wanted to stay was forcibly sent away. He looked at his girlfriend with knowing eyes, but the only thing he got was a glare. He went away after wearing his shirt. He greeted Amy's assistant and agent while going away: "Hi Richard, Hi Mary."

Richard and Mary tried to give a polite smile, but they seemed to be so shocked that even forced smiles could not appear on their faces.

Fifteen minutes later, Amy, Mary and Richard were sitting in the study. Amy looked at the two and said: "You can ask what you want."

Mary was still thinking about the scene she saw half an hour earlier. The most beautiful girl in hollywood and one of the most handsome superstars in hollywood, both of them were sleeping together in a bed hugging each other. The picture was too beautiful to be true. Mary said excitedly: "Amy, you two looked great when sleeping together."

"Thank you Mary, I... " before Amy's sentence was even completed, Richard glared at Mary: "Do you think its beautiful. Are you even thinking in right state of mind. Its not beautiful at all, but a scandal, biggest Scandal." saying this much he stood up and started circling around the room and babbling in his mouth. His expressions continuously changed from scared, shocked, doubt, and again fright.

Amy tried to calm down Richard: "I know, but what do you want me to do now."

"End this."

"No way. We love each other."

Richard's face darkened and made the angry expressions of he knew it. His face showed the look that he expected this, "I should have known it before, Amy Collins. How can a celebrity not make a scandal. Till yesterday I was bragging and dancing that my artist has no scadndels, and now you did your best to prove me wrong. Can't you be with anyone else."

Amy was about to reply but the door of study was knocked. Amy who was closest to the door stood up to check who was it, after all she restricted anyone from disturbing. When she opened the door, she found Tom standing at the door. He had changed his clothes and before Amy could say anything, he entered the study and sat on the sofa. He looked at everyone and said: "Its not like I can allow my girlfriend to do all the explaining."

Before anyone could say anything, he pulled Amy who was going to sit on the other sofa toward him and placed her on his lap. He crossed his arms around her stomach and spoke: "Now, you can ask. I will explain further."

Everyone had different reaction on Tom Cruise's actions. Mary was red with excitement, Richard was dull and Amy was a little embarrassed but didn't stop Tom.

Richard calmed himself down and sat on the opposite sofa: "Mr.Tom Cruise, you are even for a longer time than me in the industry. You should know how big of a scandal it would if the news of you two being together come out."

Tom nodded and didn't deny the words. Richard breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that one person is intelligent here. He continued: "I know its not anyone's place to comment on someone else's relationship. But as Amy's agent, I think its right if you two are not together."

Tom was quiet at Richard's words. He looked at Richard and then at Amy: "Your all words are true and I don't know if you are missing it because of courtesy, it's also true that I am more than double of Amy's age." Richard was about to refute, but Tom continued: "Despite all these factors, the only factor left is that I love Amy and love her like crazy. So even if Amy stops me which I believe she wouldn't, I would still not let her go. I can wait for her career to stabilize, wait for her to enjoy the life and everything else, but the only thing not allowed is leaving me. So for your worries, I can only do is that we will not make our relationship public so soon."

Everyone was quiet hearing the words. Amy looked at Tom at his serious words, she kissed him, "I love you too and I am not leaving you. I will only be Mrs. Cruise or nothing. And if I forget this, remember your today's words, you can bind me with you." they kissed again.

"Crazy" Richard commented.

So, in the end, settlement was reached despite Richard's unwillingness.

After Tom left, Mary started asking excitedly: "Amy, you two looked so sweet sleeping together, just like angels. And Tom Cruise is so protective of you. It's every girl's dream to have such a mature boyfriend, who can say such sweet words in front of everyone. No matter what others say, you two are my favourite from today onwards. Tom Cruise is so lucky to have you. I bet everyone will be crazy once this news come out."

Amy smiled a little shyly: "Thank you Mary. I am also so lucky to be with him."

Richard who was still sullen despite agreeing due to being forced, said: "Of course, everyone will be crazy. What else do you expect from them when seeing such a scandalous thing."

Amy and Mary just ignored the sullen face and continued their girls talk.
