Her eyes narrowed angrily. Are those people at Daily Entertainment incompetent? They can’t even handle such a small thing properly. She had already handed them a ready–made news story, even spent money to boost its popularity, and they still managed to mess it up.

Stephanie took a deep breath, trying to keep her expression as calm and normal as possible. She bit har tongue, the pain helping to clear her mind a bit. “Jeffrey, it’s probably because of the fall down the stairs earlier, so I’m a bit… scared.”
