The following morning...
At Hill's hotel...
The reporters were waiting anxiously for director Alex to come on stage.
They have been waiting for almost thirty minutes and there was no sign of the protagonist. They were starting to get impatient.
"Say.... was it a prank?" One of the reporters could not help but ask.
"Maybe. I have always known that director Alex does not involve himself in such scandals but it seems that we have all been fooled."
"I have always been a biggest fan of his work and I have never missed to follow up any news concerning him. But this time I was truly disappointed. I will never support a celebrity so blindly."
It was noisy in the conference room as everyone was giving their opinion.
Suddenly the door was pushed from outside. The reporters aimed their cameras towards the door, not wanting to miss any explosive news.
Director Alex walked in followed by his assistant director Ethan.
He was dressed in a black tuxedo, looking refined. His face carried a hint of seriousness and his aura was aloof.
He looked at those reporters with a cool gaze. It made them feel guilty for no reason.
This was their idol who they worshipped and loved, but now they have surrounded him with gossip and rumours without even knowing the truth.
The reporters were aware of their doings in the entertainment industry. They did not care about the truth and they always followed what the masses say.
But that was their work. How could they find the time to care about who was wrong or right? They only cared if they can get an eye catching headline, the rest came later.
"Good morning everyone. I stand before you today to clear the rumours that have been going around. I don't know what to say to the media. You guys are really amazing at spreading rumours. You channel your energy to accusing people without any solid proof. Have you ever thought about the consequences of your baseless accusations. You break many families because of the so called justice. Yet there had never been any truth in what you report. You always misguide the netizens thinking that you are doing justice and cleaning up the mess. Have you ever thought what the victims of your slander go through. Does any of you ever take his or her time to find evidence before you cast your judgement. You are really a big disappointment to the entertainment industry."
After director Alex finished speaking, the hall was so quite that you could even hear the reportes' heartbeats. They were so ashamed by what director Alex said that they did not dare ask anything.
They always feel good when slapping people in the face, but now that it was their turn, it did not feel good at all.
But there were those who were thick skinned enough and were not even ashamed of their action. One of the reporter raised his hand.
"So director Alex, did you come to clear the rumours or did you come here to tell us how to do our work. We all know that no ones ever accepts that they are in the wrong. Everyone goes around denying that they did not do it."
"And you are the director, but here you are helping Amanda clear her name. Do you dare say that there is nothing going on between the two of you? What right do you have to help her. Or what identity are you using to help her clear her name. The director or her bed mate?"
Director Alex's face turned frosty. This reporter really had some big guts. He whispered to his assistant next to him. His assistant nodded in understanding.
