She first bought the headlines for the next several days, all of which used the phrase 'mysterious announcement' in red as a gimmick to attract the public and signify that there would be big news in three days. Although most people in Grant Corporation knew about her current relationship with Theo, the outside world did not. At present, she was planning to make an announcement by using the momentum that came with foreshadowing so that when their relationship was announced to the public three days later, it would create a sensation.
