I clicked in to see the contents and it was full of photos of me and him from the moment we took a plane to the South Sea at midnight; when we entered the hotel together and spent a whole day together; when we went out to have dinner together; when we had our arms around each other’s shoulders after returning to the hotel...
In short, from the photos that were released, anyone who saw them would think that we were meeting in secret and had even booked a room in the hotel. This was evidence that we could not refute. We were completely indefensible.
The only good thing about this was that the media had not revealed my name, maybe because they were afraid of Theo. The photos did not happen to capture my face directly, and they were mostly shots of my back. However, those who knew me well would know that it was me.
Moreover, there were comments saying that Xander had a sugar mommy. There were also people saying that Xander had won the competition last time because someone was helping him in secret. Some netizens speculated that it was me.
News about a popular star having a sugar mommy
would no doubt be eye-catching. However, not only would this news irk his new fans but also hurt the hearts of his many die-hard fans. I thought of the 60 million fans Xander had. Perhaps many of them had already unfollowed him out of despair.
My heart sank to the bottom. I remembered repeatedly reminding Xander not to be involved in a scandal. Unexpectedly, not only did he get himself involved in a scandal but it was also with me. 2
I finally knew why Theo changed the lock. The misunderstanding only deepened when I recalled the time Xander answered a call on my phone. My head was about to explode.
Heidi had already charged my phone for me. As soon a s I switched my phone on, Xander gave me a call.
When Heidi saw me answering the call, she closed the door and left.
"Wandy, there’s a scandal about us. Did you see it?” Xander sounded excited on the other end of the call. It felt as though he had been looking forward to it for a very long time.
"I just saw it,” I replied listlessly.
"I think the photos are pretty nice. The only drawback is that the headline is a bit too much. How can they call you a madam? Although it’s true that you’re a madam, you look more like a young lady from the photos!" 1
Xander spoke with the same playful tone. He did not take the news seriously at all and was even commenting about the photos. His excitement made it seem as though he was gossiping about others.
I massaged my sore glabella and said, "You're the cause of this scandal. Think of a way to take the news down or all the effort we've put in will go down the drain."
Xander fell silent for a moment, and his tone went back to normal as he said, "I’ll handle it."
