Daylight came swiftly.
A bombshell news piece swiftly took over the headlines of major websites!
[Elijah: I didn't blacklist Kylee.]
The headline was straightforward and eye-catching!
Clicking on the headline revealed the full news article. The main body of the text wasn't long, but the content was crystal clear. Elijah stated that he was not familiar with Kylee and had not blacklisted him. He never did, and he never would.
The big brands that had cut their contracts with Kylee were dumbfounded! What did this mean? Why did Elijah change his mind?
Elijah's phone was ringing off the hook, but it didn't bother him while he slept because his phone was off.
With no way to reach Elijah, everyone started calling Joey. Joey had a hangover from drinking the night before. The ringing phone only made his headache worse.
The news added to his migraine. "What news? Fake news, right?! There's no way my boss would say something like that!" Joey sat up, looking for his glasses. "Don't panic just yet. I'll find out what's going on and get back to you."
After hanging up, Joey put on his glasses and casually opened a news app. Once he fully comprehended the news, his brow furrowed, and he was left speechless.
"What's up?" Mike asked, noticing his friend's stillness and sitting up as well.
Joey showed him the news. "Violette must have gone to see my boss last night. This news release couldn't possibly have been instigated by him. He would never deny anything he had done; it's just not his style."
Mike glanced at the news and replied indifferently, "So you're saying Violette released this news?"
"Right." Joey rubbed his temples. "This is so awkward... the brands that cut off Kylee are all dumbfounded. They must think my boss has a split personality."
Mike could hardly contain his laughter. "Why should you care if your boss gets embarrassed... besides, he brought this upon himself. I can only say, he deserves it!"
