“You can have girls over without the public knowledge at all. And you have to warn them not to tell on you afterward. The girls are a gossip these days.” “Don't you think I've tried that before?” I snorted. “After we're through, and I pay them, they scurry to the press with one lie or the other to get cheap publicity. The news media pay them loads for a cover story and voila! My face appears in the papers the next day and they're satisfied with themselves.” “And you still don't want to give girls a break? Dude, stop being daft. You won't die if you stay celibate for five months.”

He genuinely wanted her blacklisted. But the phone call with Nate not long ago had shaken that belief. Smear first, then clean up—this wasn't a tactic they hadn't used before. But this time… this time was different. Out of all the most successful publicity stunts he'd ever witnessed, nothing else even came close. And more importantly, it was impossible to replicate. For a moment, he'd even thought Nate must've received guidance from some master strategist, as if he'd suddenly unlocked some hidden power to come up with something this brilliant.

“Whatever you say, Rachel, but you should be aware that this type of publicity doesn’t happen to every author. I don’t expect we’ll get this lucky when we publish Guilty Pleasures, so I suggest you think about what I said. The more sales we can get for your first book means that much more we’ll get for your second, third and fourth,” “Aren’t we promoting this one on its own merit? It’s completely unethical for me to use Alex’s, I mean my client, Postmaster Bentley’s case for publicity,” Rachel hoped Peter hadn’t noticed her accidental use of Alex’s first name. Fortunately, he didn’t show any signs he had. “Of course the book is good, Rachel, but in this business we have to exploit every adva

Then she called Claudette. Not to hand the situation over — to coordinate. To be specific about what she wanted and how she wanted it and to make clear that the PR response was going to come from her, as Neo's sister and as a McKinney, and that Claudette's job was to make sure it landed where it needed to land. The statement went out at eleven-fifteen. Irina read it on her phone in the library. It was on Sasha's personal social media — not a press release, not a company statement, not something routed through Claudette's carefully managed channels. Just Sasha. Her account. Her words. Posted publicly for anyone who wanted to read them.

“You’re dealing with a credibility fracture.” He shifted slightly. I ignored it. “When two independent sources point toward the same narrative, even if both are unreliable, the public doesn’t ask if it’s true,” I said. “They ask why it sounds consistent.” I let that sit for a second. Then continued. “Right now, your name is sitting in the middle of two stories. Cyn and Iny. Both messy. Both loud. Both damaging.” I flipped to the next page. “Your current PR approach,” I said, “is reactive. Containment. Suppression. Redirect.”

I asked “What would we do without you” he laughed “Where have you been? You guys have been planning behind my back again?” I asked “We would never” Nick let out a fake gasp “Hello? You were saying something” Leon rolled his eyes “Oh yeah, the event has been set up and the press has been invited. By tomorrow the products will be shipped in and out for display then we are ready to drop” Nick explained and I had no clue what they were talking about I turned to Leon waiting for him to explain what it was about and he just laughed and continued speaking to Nick “Make the press keep talking about it, it shouldn’t leave their mouth. The publicity is needed” he said and Nick nodded

“If that advice is don’t sleep with women who confide intimate details to tabloids and trashy magazines, don’t waste your breath.” He took a deep breath and I know he didn’t take little interest in what was written about him, good or bad, publicity is still publicity, but he was actually a long way from feeling amused indifference his manner suggested, for this particular article had been, not only incredible tasteless and scandalous, but totally untrue.

she cackled as she playfully hit Jack’s shoulder. “At least I got you to laugh,” Jack said with pride. Their laughter died down after a moment and he added, “I don’t know much about running a business, but what I do know is that publicity, whether good or bad, can be used as a tool. If you let it consume you, it will. But if you control the narrative, you’ll be pointing out the rise in the stock chart tomorrow morning to board members rather than sitting through their debate of your character.” Lena’s heart pounded with excitement.

“They’ll be fighting ghosts in the court of public opinion.” The plan began that night. Adrian returned to his penthouse office—a sleek fortress high above the city skyline—and called in an old contact from a shadow PR firm known for quiet destruction. No logos. No paper trail. Just results. The kind that turned public darlings into public pariahs overnight. “Full character dismantling,” Adrian said flatly over the secure line. “Soft leaks first. Private audio. Vulnerability. Then we move to moral ambiguity. Infidelity. Opportunism. Trap narrative. Recast the whole affair.”

Mike wasted no time launching an aggressive advertising campaign. Billboards popped up overnight; local radio stations buzzed about a “revolution in beauty.” Mike even leveraged our connections with the Simone family, securing prime-time slots on their television station. The public’s curiosity was piqued, their phones lighting up with teasers for products that hadn’t even hit the shelves yet.
