Towering figure

Chapter 5

Subtitle: towering figure 

Crimson made a mental note before clicking on the live bottun, as expected thausands or poeple swam into the live stream as soon as she come online and start sending messages with different motives.

Crimson cleared her throat as she waited for more people to come in to the live box first before proceeding with her notifications.

"Good morning everyone, I trust you all are in good health, I am also fine and for those of you who asking if i'm sick or something I am ok and I am also in save hands.

There has been an uproar going on with you guys just last night about my recent bad behavior and i am here to clearify some things and shed some light on them for you all to hear before you judge me, also I would much appreciate it if you all don't drag my company and agency into this, they had nothing to do with what happened last night.

Without further run about I will get straight to the point of my life stream, first I am a very bad terrible drinker and most of my fans know that I don't drink, but yesterday I was soo exhausted from attending all the functions and then something happened, something personal that I would not want to talk about, it has caused me to go angry, sad, devastated and confused, I really needed to numb the pains I felt and so I went out to a hotel and drank some wine, but then I drank too much of it and then I wasn't myself anymore.

Hopefully he came to my rescue, the man in the video, I would love it if you guys do not criticize him because he is someone dear to me and there is nothing wrong with what he did last night, I was drunk and it was only right for him to come to my rescue."

Crimson paused and stared at the comments dripping in, all of them were centered around the man and fans were asking to know his identity since they had never seen her with any man before.

Crimson closed her eyes in frustration trying to find a different way out from the one she is already thinking of but then she couldn't find any.

' i'm sorry Kevin.. I am so sorry for dragging you into this!'

Crimson apologised in her mind before bringing herself together and blurting out these words she wished she never said.

"He is my boyfriend."

With that the comments sections when bonkers with mixed reactions, many fans were congratulating her with her new found relationship but many were also criticising her for alot of things.

Before rounding up she said:

"Thank you all for your support and truth in me, I sincerely apologised to the public for my bad behavior and the uproar I caused, I assure you all that I was not in my right senses when I got wasted badly and would take measure and careful steps in the future, I hope that the public will not condemn me for this and I ask for your support in my relationship, also I would love to apologize to the company and my higher up for the crisis I caused, also I am not ready to introduce my boyfriend to the public yet, but I assure you all that I would do so in the future, thank you all for listening."

And then she ended the live stream and fell on the bed flat with exhaustion as she thought of the concequence of what she had just did.

Luke who was previously ordered by Kevin to go take care of the mess on behalf on Crimson stopped as he watched her livestream with a sigh, he was not sure how his boss will take the news of what she had publicly announced, initially the boss had his own way of taking care of things and would have single handedly taken care of the mess for her if she hasn't bud in, he turned around and walked back to the office as he walked up to Kevin who was reviewing some documents.

"Boss you need to see this!"

Luke brought his attention towards Kevin who stared at home with scrutiny as he collected the phone from Luke and played the live stream, he watched it all from begginning to end without blinking or showing any signs of emotions.

As soon as the live stream ended he handed the phone over to Luke and stood up from his chair, abruptly putting on his coat.

"That brat!"

He snapped to himself as he walked out of he office, Luke knew his boss was furious and dare not follow him.

As Kevin sat in the car he had on a grim look on his face, he had ordered the driver to drive to the beach condor at once, his phone suddenly rang and when he stared at the caller he realized it was his grand father, he knew the exact reason the old man was calling him and decided not to pick the call as he didn't have time to argue with the old man.

But then he suddenly let go of his grim face and replaced it with his usual smirk as a perfect idea came Into his head, he ordered the driver to drive faster as he whipped out his phone from his pocket and called his elder sister Tia Ace, the phone rang for a few minutes before Tia finally picked up the call.

"What is it Kevin? I am very busy cleaning after an ungrateful beat now so I don't have time to talk, call back later!"

Tia snapped at him.

"Why are you so dumb Tia? She actually did you a favour, why not turn this into a business strategy? With the announcement of her having a boyfriend now she had somehow managed to save the day and regain a huge percentage of her fans, although some will still think she is lying and still argue and curse her online they would still want to know what is going on and be curios if she will meet her doom or will somehow proof herself to the public, this is a great way to gather the public's sympathy and somehow lure them to your side with the new matter at hand, it would also keep her on top search for a few more days, you should not postpone her upcoming concerts and world tours, instead you should make it a bigger way to earn millions for your company, now that everyone is curious about her new boyfriend both the fans and the anti fans will be hotly knotted to her case so they would still buy her concert tickets to see how things would

 turn out."

Kevin explained in one breath as Tia listened carefully.

"Wow Kevin, you never interest yourself with the company's issue since you deem it as too much of a nuisance and do not want to manage the entertainment section , although I love your suggestion and understand where you are trying to go and what you are trying to let me know but why are you suddenly Interested in A.A.L after this scandal?"

Tia snapped at him and Kevin rolled his eyes with a smirk.

"Does it matter? Just do as I say!"

Kevin retorted back, it suddenly hit Tia, the man in the video, although she didn't see his face his physique looks soo much like her brother, she was shocked.

"Wait Kevin..... Don't tell me you are the boyfriend! Good lords Kevin why would you get yourself involved with a popstar? Crimson is very dear to the old Dr why would you get in a scandal with her? And Steven, did he approve of this?"

Tia asked.

"Just do as your told Tia, let me handle my own things, and also don't you dare tell anyone in the company that I am related to you or that I am her boyfriend untill I let news out myself!"

Kevin snapped.

"What are you trying to tell me now huh? Even though I technically own the company I let those fools called higher ups manage things and just work as a manager because I hate stress, do you think I'll reveal who are to anyone? If I do so i'm also revealing myself to them to aren't I?"

Tia snapped and ended the call abruptly.

Crimson stood at the balcony as she talked to her brother on the phone.

"What happened Crimson? Why are there news of you dating Kevin all over the internet?"

Steven asked.

"How did you know the man in the video was kevin when you can't see his face? Except if you knew all along."

Crimson asked confused.

"Of course I knew moron! It was me who sent Kevin to come save your ass now you've somehow dragged both you and him into this mess, how do you intend to sort things out now after lying to the public?"

Steven asked.

"I'm also confused of what to do now, I've now dragged both of us into a serious case with the public... But I'll find a way to sort things out."

Crimson replied.

Just then she saw Kevin's car drive Into the beach house from the balcony and began to panick, she quickly ended the call as she stared at the car while Kevin got out of it quietly and began walking towards the entrance while his guard followed him, he suddenly stopped walking and looked up the balcony as his eyes met with that of crimson, Crimson panicked and ran back Into the room lacking what to do, she began pacing up and down the room as soon as she heard footsteps coming her way.

The door created opened revealing a towering figure of Kevin Ace.
