Sweet Scandals

Ch. 6

Not much different from the situation in room 101. Outside the hotel room, even in front of the hotel building, there seemed to be so many reporters and reporters who were about to ask for clarification from Axelle.

In the hotel's ballroom, where Axelle will hold a press conference related to his latest film, it looks chaotic. Because the press is being shocked by the news of the Axelle scandal. What happened just a moment ago. It even happened in that hotel room.

Inside the room, Axelle tried to calm down. While Irene, the more panic, even fear. Something like this had never happened in his life. Now, people think he got into a scandal with Axelle. How Irene had to live her life, if she might continue to be hunted down by journalists regarding this case.

If Irene stayed home, how would she have to find money to help the children in the home later. The days are sure to feel difficult and even heavy. Living with shame, Irene never expected that.

While in the corner of the room, Zaky was receiving several phone calls that changed the look of his face instantly.

"Everything's fucked up." Sizzle Zaky as her phone call ends.

"You can be so careless as Axelle. Didn't I warn you often." Zaky looks starting to ride a black hole.

"Please calm down Mr. Zaky. Let's think with a cold head. We're looking for the best solution to this problem." Said Boni trying to mediate.

"Because of you. Boss Axe's in trouble." Boni's murmur to Irene who was still standing by the door.

"One of you asked me to deliver his clothes to this room." Irene was not to blame for this.

"Basic. Huw ... Eike is upset."

"Bodo is very." Irene was equally upset.

"Axelle, we have signed a contract with MB. Due to this problem, the contract was cancelled. And we're being sued for damages." Said Zaky later.

"And not only that. All your ads stop showing. Your name is now polluted. Many producers want to cancel your contract. They don't want to be in a relationship with you anymore." Its effects.

"Then what should I do? It's just an unintended incident. Not scandal. Do they still not understand?" Axelle.

It is commonplace if events like this will be misinterpreted by the media and the public. Times are getting more sophisticated. Very quickly, any information will be known by the public at large. They do not know the true events. But the photo, will invite a different perception for some people.

Axelle was accused of harassing a woman in a hotel room. Isn't that really embarrassing? The news even in an instant had already managed to bring down Axelle. It has managed to make its image bad in society. Now, people will think that Axelle is indeed a jerk.

"Counpers will be canceled. The contract was cancelled. Career destroyed. If you don't want all that to happen, there's only one way." Zaky.

"Didn't the media start sniffing about your relationship with Rissa?" Ask Zaky then.

"I don't know about that."

"Obviously you don't know. Because I'm the only one watching you. Rissa doesn't even care about you at all."

"Don't talk about Rissa. Now the situation is different."

"Not much different. I've thought of a way to save your reputation."

Axelle looked to breath. Then cast his eyes on Irene.

Irene still faithfully stood in her place. With a confused, panicked, even sad face at the same time.

On the one hand, he had to think of a way to save the orphanage children so as not to be displaced because they had no place to shelter. On the other hand, he also has to think of himself.

How he should live out his days, if the public at large knew him as a victim of sexual abuse of an artist. Will people think positively, and blame Axelle for this incident? Or even just the opposite. People will blame themselves. Pissing, humiliating. People will accuse him of taking advantage of this situation to make a profit. Or the cool term PANSOS. Alias Social Climbing. Irene is not that type.

In the silence of the atmosphere, Irene's phone suddenly rang. Irene hastily reached into her jeans. He answered the incoming call from Ms. Norma with an anxious heart. I don't know what Ms. Norma wants to say until Irene thumped. Hopefully it's not bad news about the parlour.

"Hello ..." Irene half whispered.

"Mrs ... What's going on, son. Why is everyone talking about you? Are you really a victim of abuse?" Worried about Ms. Norma from across.

Nah, right? What Irene was worried about was true. Some people think he was a victim of abuse. And some people, what do they think about it?

"That's not true, Mom. It was just a minor accident. I'll tell Mom."

"Every mother opens a phone, your news and who is it? Axelle, it's always been the main topic. The children of the home also know everything. They know from infotainment."

"God ... Is this news spreading so fast?" Irene's murmured almost inaudibly.

"Mrs ... Aria ... You're okay, aren't you, son?"

"I_iya Ma. I'm fine."

"Ren, for the matter of the parlour, don't make it a burden on your mind. Just solve your problem now. Let me face Mr. Bondan. You don't have to worry."

"But, Mum. Mr. Bondan is stubborn. What if he forcibly kicked us out? Anyway, Mom just calm down. I'll get a loan." Irene ended the call. Then try surfing for a moment in cyberspace.

And what did Irene find out from the online news about the case that befell her at the moment?

Surprising.

Exactly as he predicted. Some people have pity on him as a victim. And some even denounce it. Various spicy comments filled the news comment column.

They think of Irene as a PANSOS handyman.

Sensation finder.

Girl kegatelan.

Girls lack work.

Axelle's fanatical fans are not self-aware and take advantage of this situation to get Axelle.

And there are many more spicy comments that make Irene heart ache to read it.

But wait!

What did the last one say? Irene who?

Fanatical fans of Axelle?

Amit-amit jabang baby seven derivatives. Although the artist in this world is only Axelle, it is illegal for Irene to idolize artists like Axelle. A perverted man who has no shame.

Huh. Damn it Irene met the man.

"Hey, you." Axelle called out to Irene.

Irene turned her face away. Looking at Axelle who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I'm used to standing for a long time." Ketus Irene with an unsightly mimic.

"Sorry, please sit down." Order Zaky.

"Thank you." Short Irene obeyed Zaky's word. Then take a seat on the sofa, in the corner of the room.

"I have a solution." Zaky said later.

"What's the solution?" Ask Axelle.

"See the situation. I've thought of the right way for you to get out of this room and out of this. It's the only way to save your reputation, Axelle."

"Splash tell Mr. Zaky. Just be curious." Gemas Boni with his style.

While across, Irene listened with a pounding heart.

"You must clarify your relationship."

"meaning? I don't understand." Axelle. While Irene, still listening. While looking straight at the two handsome men who looked serious at once tensed.

"I'll admit you guys have a relationship."

"More clearly."

"Special relationship."

Axelle chuckles. "The idea is funny."

"Have a special relationship with that perverted guy? Iiiichhh ... Amit-amit." Irene murmur.

"Is there no other way Mr Zaky? Boss Axe's time has a special relationship with this laundry guy." Boni did not lose grumbling.

"Try to think carefully. Right now, your image is so bad in society. It's a matter of harassment. It concerns the self-esteem of a woman. And you ... You are the culprit. So there's no other way. You must get married." Zaky said at length enthusiastically. Feeling that this is the only correct solution.

What about Irene and Axelle?

Don't ask again. Both of them successfully glared perfectly with their mouths wide open. So surprised to hear the solution expressed by Zaky perfunctory.

"What?" Irene and Axelle scream together.

Irene and Axelle get up from their seats. Both of them stared hard at Zaky.

Crazy one!

What an absurd idea. Crazy idea. Is there no other solution?

"What's? Be married? Boss Axe should marry this laundry guy? Omegaheat ... I think I want to faint. Miss Clarissa must have been raging when she heard this news." Boni grumbled to hear Zaky's silly idea.

"I don't want to!" Axelle's call was firm.

"I don't want to either!" Irene also exclaimed with her floor.

"Not a real marriage." Zaky.

"You mean?" Axelle was curious now.

"Only theatrical. You pretend to be a couple. After that we had a wedding ceremony. You guys just calm down. I'll arrange it. And I will also be the one to give this clarification to the media. How's it? Still don't get it?"

Irene and Axelle thought. This idea might be ridiculous. Even crazy. But this is just a charade. That is, they are not really married. It's just a mere act. Isn't Axelle an expert in acting?

And Irene?

What about Irene?

Is Irene capable of that too? Can Irene also act as a married couple?

For this matter, Zaky had already thought far. By acknowledging their special relationship, slowly, Axelle's image will improve again. His reputation will return to its original state. Or even, audiences will praise Axelle. Because I love ordinary women. And the reason for that, Zaky had already thought about it.

"It's just a charade, right? Not real?" Axelle asked to convince her hearing.

"Not more. I assure. It's just a charade." Zaky replied without hesitation.

"alright. I agree."

"Hey, you. Do you agree with this idea?" Axelle asked Irene.

How'this?

Did Irene agree to their crazy plan?

Yes, Irene had to marry that perverted guy? Yes, even if it's just a charade. But he was disgusted to hear it.

If they get married, even if it's a charade. That means they will pretend to be husband and wife. Just hearing it made Irene want to spit out all her entrails right then and there.

But ...

Irene frowning. Trying to take the positive side of this incident.

"Hey, little con man. I asked, do you agree?" Ask Axelle again.

There was no response from Irene, and Zaky tried to get to her.

"Sorry, Miss ..."

"Irene." Irene said quickly.

"Irene. This is the only way I think. After this, I promise, I'll free you from this charade." Zaky tried to convince Irene.

Irene took a long breath. Exhales slowly. Trying to hold her heart for a moment.

"good. I wanna. But I have a condition." Irene suddenly said.

Zaky looked at Irene carefully. Waiting for what the girl will say next.
