But why did Orion intercept these photos?
Starlight Media was a titan in the industry, renowned for its eagle-eyed PR department that missed nothing within the circle. Any whisper of news or exclusive scoops had to pass through its review before being released.
Could it be that Orion had specifically instructed someone to intercept all her “scandalous leaks”? Otherwise, how could the photos April took with so much effort not be published immediately, and instead fall into someone else’s hands, becoming leverage?
As she pondered, a sweet thrill fluttered in her heart, and she began to playfully roll around with the photos in hand.
“Xan, come have some late-night snacks.”
Orion stepped out of the kitchen, seeing the girl rolling on the carpet like a kitten, corners of his eyes crinkling slightly, “Don’t lie on the floor, you’ll catch a cold.”
Xanthea scurried over, “It’s fine, there’s a carpet. But your carpet is short-piled; it’s a bit rough on the skin!”
“Alright, we’ll get a plush one tomorrow.”
Xanthea bit her lip. She had only made a casual remark. This was his room; why would he consider changing his carpet for her?
“Oh, I like the pure wool ones.”
Orion seemed to notice something and slowly lifted his head, and Xanthea quickly added, “Orion, thank you.”
“Thank you?”
“For intercepting these photos. If they’d leaked online, all my recent efforts would have been for nothing. I could have been blasted out of the industry, not just failed to trend.”
“That won’t happen.”
“What do you mean ‘it won’t’? Nowadays, people only believe what they see online, they don’t care about explanations.”
As she spoke, she noticed his slight pause and waved her hand, “Don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about you. But what did you mean by saying anyone can but you can’t at the elevator door?”
