Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 106 Interview

Two days later at 10 am, in the city’s financial district, there was a huge fight in the president’s office of Starlight Media, a company in the same standing as Truffleberry Media.

Matthew was wearing a hat in an avant–garde distressed style and a T–shirt with the image of an alien on it. He also had on jeans with rips in them and a pair of white sneakers with green edges.

He was about to walk out of the office when a stern voice cried out, “Stand right there! I haven’t finished talking!”

The president of Starlight Media, Warren Burgess, was enraged. He glared at Matthew’s back as he continued, “Sit your ass

back down!”

“Wasn’t all that you said before enough? My love life has nothing to do with my work. I’m currently in a rush!” Matthew’s voice was icy, tone full of disdain.

Annoyed, Warren said, “Matthew, although you’re only an adopted son of our family, I’ve been your older brother for twenty years! I can’t bear to watch you single–handedly ruin your music career! What in the hell is your relationship with that Erin Lane woman?”

Matthew turned to face him again. His tone was full of ridicule, he asked, “Haven’t you already seen the photo online?”

“So, she’s really your girlfriend?” Warren was visibly shocked.

“She will be soon,” Matthew said enigmatically.

Warren slammed his fists heavily onto the table. “Ridiculous! If she’s not your girlfriend, how could you be so careless as to allow the paparazzi to take such a photo!” Then, seeing Matthew so unmoved, Warren frowned. Abruptly, he asked, “Did you get someone to take it?”

Matthew’s silence might as well be an admission of guilt to Warren. He walked before Matthew, his eyes filled with rage. “Tell me honestly–what are you planning? You’re not a newbie in the entertainment industry anymore. You can’t know that coming up with such a scandal on a whim might affect your career!”
