William was laughing scornfully as he put his arm around the shoulder of that mixed-race female star and walked into the Dragon Entertainment.
Since Jack had not had any relationship with a woman, the press was curious about his relationship status. But they had not dared to write fake news because of his social standing. After hearing what William said today, they began to keep guessing.
Did the president of Dahlia Entertainment like men?
Compared with William who had countless girlfriends, Jack kept a very low profile. There was no sign that he was seeing some woman.
Although he announced recently that he would become Anna's agent. Jack's words let people think he seemed to use Anna as a shield to hide some truth.
Almost overnight, rumor had it in different worlds that the president of Dahlia Entertainment liked men. However, no one dared to ask about its truth from the staff of the company.
"Oh no. He's really... gay?"
"Maybe! It's said that people like them are a little unsociable. Perhaps the way he acts is to protect his secret and lover."
"But he is said to be in love with Anna."
"It's hype! Things are complicated in showbiz."
"I think William purposely started the rumor. Maybe Jack keeps his marriage as a secret and doesn't want to expose his private life. Must every man be a playboy?"
"If he gets married, he shouldn't let people think he has a love affair with Anna. It's lying."
Since the news was wild guesses by small media websites and there was no hard evidence, many people were skeptical about them. But they were spread in Dahlia Entertainment.
After reading today's entertainment news, Anna said to Jack, "I'm gonna buy the clothes of the latest season with Lucy this afternoon. Would you like to go with me?"
"I've got some documents to deal with." Jack patted her hands, "I'm not going. You go and pick your favorites."
Then, he went into his study.
But Anna always worried about him, so she made arrangements with Lucy to go next time. She walked into the study with a cup of coffee and accompanied him until he dealt with all documents.
"Haven't you left yet?" he put down the pen and looked at her doubtfully.
She walked toward him and curled up in his arms, "I'm angry at them for defaming you! Isn't there any way to fix it?"
Even if she clarified it to the media, she might be misrepresented as excusing him.
He looked at her and said calmly, "William's little trick has almost no effect on me. I've talked to his father and asked him to discipline his son. But if I do it for him, it will be hard to wind this matter up."
"You know his father?"
"I know him in business. After all, the business circles are small."
Although Dahlia Entertainment and Dragon Entertainment were competitors, embarrassment between each other should be avoided. Jack could forgive William's action for the sake of his parents. But if he did it again... he would take the responsibility for the results.
Anna didn't expect that these two companies had such relationship, "How did his family reply?"
"They wanted to have a compromise and invited us to an evening dinner." Jack took out an invitation just received. "His father and my uncle will attend."
