Chapter 51: Damage Control

Ewan was in his car, en-route to his company, when he saw the news.

With his iPad, he had been going through the document he had signed with Ethan’s company when, suddenly, the news icon had flashed across his screen.

At first, he had thought to ignore it. But when he saw the headlines ’Ewan Giacometti in the mud again...’ he hadn’t been able to hold back the curiosity anymore.

After he opened the news page, which he noted came with a video, Sandro called him.

Without picking his phone which was right beside him, Ewan already knew the reason for the call.

His friend must have seen the news too.

The phone stopped ringing.

Ewan checked the time of the news release; it was just a few minutes ago.

He scanned the first two paragraphs, and understood the article already: Zack Moore had visited Athena, and it hadn’t ended well for both the arrogant male and his reputation.

Ewan wasn’t sure how to feel, especially since his own reputation was also dragged to the mud.

His phone rang again.

"Hey, Sandro..." He finally picked, still scrolling through the news page.

"Have you seen the news on the socials?"

"Yes, I have. It seems hot..."

Sandro scoffed. "It’s more than hot, Ewan. It is terrible. Where are you?"

"On my way to the company." Ewan answered, before tapping the play button on the video file.

"That’s great. We are waiting for you. Hurry up!"

The call abruptly ended.

We? Who else was waiting?

He paused the video and tapped the console.

The driver slowed the car, and lowered the divide, so that he could listen to his boss’s orders.

"Drive faster. There’s an emergency in the company."

Ewan ordered stoically, before returning to the interesting video.
