Chapter 152
The eye-catching title was written large and bold: [Meet Jay Parker, Zoe York’s Rumored Lover!]
Cordy watched as Zoe’s fingers shook, and she quickly took out her phone as well to read the article.
The article gave a simple recap of the scandal on Zoe before, and now confirmed the relationship between Zoe and Jay. They even went out of their way to mention that Mandy Jessop was originally the female lead for Pomp and Circumstance, but the role was ultimately given to Zoe.
Fueled by speculation, the relationship was no different from confirmed.
Cordy tapped on the photos attached to the article, where Zoe and Jay were keeping their distance from each other. Even though the photos were taken quite far away, one could tell that they were arguing.
The article simply posited it as them getting upset from getting photographed, causing the scandal before.
Still, it was not surprising that the media would be convinced that Jay was the one from the photos censored with mosaic before. Anyone comparing those photos and the latest one could certainly see the resemblance in their respective silhouettes.
In fact, they would definitely misunderstand if they had not seen the uncensored photos.
“F*ck!” Zoe could not help cursing, fuming after reading through the news.
She had yet to hang up too, and Linda was snapping from the other end, “Zoe, you don’t have to keep secrets now that things have come to this. Talk to Mr. Parker-decide if you want to go public or explain yourselves… although the latter won’t fly, not after you were photographed at the mansion together. I’m sure fans won’t get upset with celebrities dating these days, not to mention. that you and Mr. Parker are quite the couple. I’ll discuss with management about going official, especially since we happen to have a romantic commercial on hand at the moment…”
“There’s nothing between me and Jay Parker!” Zoe growled, breathing every word through gritted teeth.
“Zoe…”
“I’ll call you later!” Zoe hung up right then, took a deep breath and called Jay.
The instant Jay answered, she went straight to the point. “Please announce that there’s nothing between us right now. I’ll also declare that we only have a working relationship-I don’t want to retire my showbiz career early because of you.
“Alright.” Jay agreed to it immediately, remaining rational as ever. “But we still have to corroborate our stories Why would you show up at my doorstep, after all?”
