Steele Enterprises' conference room was bustling with activity. As his public relations team bustled around him, Andrew stood at the head of the table, his jaw down. The stakes had never been higher—Amelia's name was in every tabloid—and although he had previously survived media storms, this one was different. His reputation wasn't the only thing at stake this time. She owned it.
"All right, pay attention," Andrew urged, his firm voice piercing the commotion. We're not here to tell falsehoods. Although we are here to speak the truth, we will do so in a calculated manner. The story is crucial. Amelia has already endured enough hardship.
Melanie Crane, his keen-eyed PR manager, nodded and tapped her tablet. Headlines glowed on the displays in the room:
"Steele Enterprises Scandal: Who Is Amelia Hart?" "Is the Secret Lover of Andrew Steele Revealed?" "A Billionaire's Baby, Love, and Lies."
