"Haider," said Haider, "there might be some impact, but not significant. After all, this matter doesn't directly involve you. I will handle it, so don't worry. Go back and rest."
Just as Sandy was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Sandy quickly greeted Haider and hurriedly got up to walk towards the door.
"Sandy," Haider called out as Sandy reached the doorway.
Sandy paused and turned to look at Haider. "What's the matter?"
"If you want to go public with our relationship, let me know in advance. We can wait until the company is prepared," Haider said in a low voice.
Sandy nodded. "Don't worry. If I really want to go public, I will inform you first. I'm a relatively well-managed artist."
After hearing Sandy's response, Haider chuckled softly. "Alright, go back and rest. The PR department will handle the upcoming matters."
Sandy acknowledged him. "Thank you, Mr. Hughs."
After leaving Haider's office, Sandy answered the phone. "Give me about five minutes, I'll be down soon."
On the other end of the line, Brandon replied, "Sure, take your time."
Sandy responded and temporarily hung up the phone, then turned and headed to the lounge.
Upon entering the room, Sandy's presence startled Jones, who was resting in the chair. He looked up at the door.
Seeing that it was Sandy, Jones settled back into his chair. "What's the news?"
"The police have clarified the truth about the incident and cleared Thompson's name," Sandy said as she walked towards the desk, looking at Jones who was half-reclining in the chair. "I didn't consider all the implications of this matter. I thought I could go out without being recognized."
Jones raised his head and stared at Sandy for a while before speaking. "If you had left home earlier, I genuinely wouldn't have recognized you. I'm curious how those paparazzi managed to recognize you."
Sandy smiled at Jones's rare use of explicit language. "You know, except for my sister, hardly anyone recognizes me. Well, actually, there is one person who recognized me at first glance."
Jones heard that and looked at Sandy. "The one who's with you, Mr. Austi?"
Sandy nodded. "He's Aaron's older brother."
Upon hearing Sandy's words, Jones's eyes widened considerably. "What did you say? Aaron's older brother? Aaron has an older brother? A blood-related older brother?"
"Are you checking people's family registers?"
Jones waved his hand. "Not really, I just think Aaron's brother looks more conventional than Aaron himself."
Sandy looked at Jones. "Your taste is... unique."
"Why? Don't you think his brother looks more conventional?" Jones asked.
Sandy replied in a calm tone, "I never really thought about it. My heart belongs to someone."
Jones yawned. "It's fine to make friends, but you still need to be cautious. After all, you're not an ordinary person. Do you understand what I mean?"
Sandy responded with an "okay."
"Both of us are 'refugees.' We've already caused expenses for Mr. Hughs before we even started making money. If this news were to get out, it would seem like we lack gratitude," Jones said seriously.
"What kind of gratitude?" Sandy asked.
