"Wait- I need the story. Wait!" The reporter's cries fell on deaf ears as two bodyguards carried him out.
"Anyone else who shares his sentiments, please feel free, the door is open", he gestured at the two wooden doors with his hand. The murmurs quickly quieted down. And the man exhaled softly as he looked at the audience with a sharp gaze.
"My name is Chris Gnash. I am one of the legal representatives of Frost Corporation. First of all, I would like to thank you for your patience. I had an urgent matter that needed my attention and thus delayed me. I apologise for this."
He moved from the podium and gave a polite bow to the press before going back. He fixed his mic and proceeded to speak. "On behalf of Frost Corporation, I would like to welcome you all to our press conference where we might not necessarily answer all of Miss Oswell's questions, but she'll still get answers. And you brought your friend along, good."
No one noticed as guilt flashed on Neela's face before it quickly disappeared as one reporter raised his hand up. "Is Xavier Frost not joining us?"
"I'll take questions right after", he said, shutting him up. Everyone felt the man was not to be trifled with seeing how he dealt with the other reporter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, were here today to address the issue that's been in talks. I won't bother recounting the events but I'll get straight to the point. Yes, Mr. Frost and Miss Nicole were in a relationship for three months."
Nicole nodded at this in confirmation. Typing sounds were heard as the reporters jotted down the details.
"Yes, a photo was leaked to the media of Miss Nicole caught in an intimate position. But I'm here to tell you that the release of the photo had nothing to do with Mr. Frost."
"Lies!" Nicole shouted as she abruptly stood up from her seat! She looked at the man with an accusing gaze.
"Miss Oswell, this is my time to speak and not yours. Please respect yourself. And my profession does not allow me to speak things without substance or evidence."
So that means there was evidence? What is the truth behind this scandal? Nicole reluctantly sat back down before Chris continued.
"We saw the photo and we had professionals analyze it. It turns out, it is genuine. There was no sign of it being tampered with except the blurring of the faces. When we recovered it, this was the result."
The technicians pulled up the photo showing the faces of the people in the picture. However,
"Yes. This hardly clarifies anything because as you can see, the man is looking away from the camera almost as if... on purpose."
Murmurs burst in the quiet room. Chris looked at Nicole and saw conflict on her features. What was he implying?
"I didn't cheat on Xavier!" She burst out.
"Miss Oswell!" He shouted making her shut up. "As I was saying, we wanted to find out who this mysterious person ruining Mr. Frost's reputation like this! The footage you're about to see will answer you."
Everyone was silent as a CCTV footage was pulled up and played. There in front of Crystal palace is Nicole seen running out and Neela hot on her heels. The latter had a bottle in her hand and she hit the back of Nicole's head with it, rendering her unconscious.
A man with a tall build, blond hair and muscular like Xavier, came over to carry the unconscious Nicole. Another footage shows Neela along with the man carrying Nicole entering the hotel. Another footage showed Neela walking back out and the video ends there.
"I have to apologize, the footage you're about to see is not suitable for the underaged. Please be mindful when broadcasting this!" Chris cautioned them before they resumed playing a video.
Right in the video is the man pausing as Xavier screwing Nicole against the window. They both looked like they were enjoying this. But what puzzled almost everyone was how the video was taken. Another video played showing Neela at a café opposite the hotel with a controller. She was controlling a drone. The video came to an end with everyone left to piece things together.
"I believe you have your answers. Are there any questions?" Chris asked.
Silence. Everyone was too shocked and frozen to speak. Satisfied with their reaction, he decided to end the press conference.
"Well then, that ends our Press conference. Thank you for sparing your time to listen to our side. All those that defamed Mr. Frost shall be hearing from our team, from those posting nasty comments online to you Miss Neela Campbell. That is all. Thank you."
As soon as he stepped down from the podium, Nicole had been snapped out of her trance and finally reacted. Rage was evident on her features as she jumped on Neela!
"You bitch! You set me up!" She screeched as she tore at her.
"No! I can explain!" Neela tried only to be silenced with Nicole's hits.
"What's there to explain? How! Could! You! Do! This! To me!" She tore Neela's dress exposing her naked tits to the world!
"Nicole! Don't do this", Neela cried but it fell on deaf ears!
Nicole stopped and scoffed at her, "You exposed my nudity to the world, well today you will have a taste of your own medicine!"
"Wait-"
Sound of material being torn echoed in the room along with people's murmurs and snapping of pictures. Nicole was full rage and adrenaline as she mercilessly hit her and tore away her clothes. All her humiliation, everything..... Oh she was mad! The reporters wanted to break the fight but Chris signaled his bodyguards to reatrain them and let the women humiliate each other. Seeing as Chris was sort of free with less bodyguards surrounding him, a reporter took a chance and stepped forward to ask a curious question.
"Why did Xavier Frost not show up today?"
Chris scoffed, "Mr. Frost is a busy man. He can not be bothered to deal with such trivial matters."
