Waking up to her phone buzzing had become a normal for Leonica. So, the following day, when she was awoken by the sound of her phone rumbling, she was in no rush to answer it. "Ugh," She groaned, reaching over and grabbing her phone, swiping right to answer the call. "Hello?"

"Good morning, Ms. Romero," It was Kennedy.

"Kennedy, why are you calling on a Sunday," She complained, raising herself up into a sitting position and trying to rub away sleep from her eyes.

"Forgive me Ms. Romero, but it's a pressing matter."

"What could be more pressing than my sleep," She grumbled.

"It's about the article that has been released today," Kennedy answered.

"Article?" That immediately woke her up, sitting her straighter up in her bed.

"Yes. It was published in the tabloid magazine, but I'm afraid this one has made its rounds to several news sites."

Leonica was quiet. So Jamil wasn't wasting time, eh?

"What's about?"

Kennedy hesitated to answer. "I'll send you a link, Ms. Romero."

Things were never good when he said something like that, she thought as she grabbed her tablet when it dinged with a message and she opened the link Kennedy had sent.

At first all she was staring at was a familiar looking hallway. Too familiar, she thought and tried to ransack her brain for where she recognized it.

But as the video played and someone stepped into view, her eyes narrowed. That was her and this hallway was the very same one from Stellar's party!

As expected, the video skipped to when she had stepped out of the room later that morning, highlighting the time difference and visible hickeys on her neck.

And then the headline popped up.

'Leonica Romero's sultry escapade'

"Sultry escapade?" She asked herself out loud, watching as the video ended just before Angelina stepped into view.

She clicked off the screen, throwing her tablet away. "What rubbish is this Kennedy and how did the press get their hands on this video?"
