章節 67: The Press Conference 1

Even if she doesn't want to, Misha was now at the spotlight. She did not have any scandal though, she was put in to it because she disappeared like a bubble popped in the public's eye. Though she did not want to attract any attention, she has to face the buzzing reporters at the conference hall of a certain hotel.

The press has been long waiting for this moment. They have to deliver to the public as to why Misha Lewis suddenly disappeared and now, she finally emerged but through a press con.

Upon her disappearance, many had their own speculations but all was not answered by her agency and by her manager, Duke. Some speculated that she had eloped with a man that was with her during the VS show in Paris. They said that her parents did not accepted the man and that was why she eloped. Some even said that she got pregnant and had to leave the country to hide from the public's eye.

Worst was, some said that she had some kind of accident and it led to her death.

Many more hubbubs appeared and none was clarified by her agency. They evaded the media like plague-- everyone from the agency kept their mouth shut when questioned by the press people. Even if they wanted to, they could not. Their agency had known for the highest fine of telling the inside stories. Whatever issues inside the company will stay at the company.

***

After a month of rest and constant therapies, Misha has been feeling better lately. She's more energetic than the previous month and she can move around freely but not totally. She had to rest from time to time for her body not to over exerted. She has long arrived at the venue but she's been at one of the suites of the hotel.

Seeing her now, something has changed within her. She became more withdrawn. She kept being silent. If one was not familiar with her, they will find her cold and distant.

Right at the moment, she had been staring at her wedding ring blankly. No one knew what was running in her thoughts. The front door opened and Lyndon got inside without her knowing, she's really on a deep thought.

Lyndon casually sat beside her. She on the other hand, kept twirling her ring on her finger.

"Something wrong?" he asked which made her jolt back to present. She then looked at the man beside her with undermined thoughts.

He caressed her hair to comfort her. He knew what was she's thinking.

She nuzzled his arms like a kitten that was being pet.

"I'm just nervous..." she said while pressing Lyndon's hands.

"I'll be right here. Don't worry. Everything will be fine." he said while cupping her hands with his and gently kissed them.

She looked into his eyes and had seen such re-assurance from him.

"Mm..." Misha knew what Lyndon said to her was the truth. She should not be afraid and just trust him but there's a part of her that was still unease.

"You know, we are in this together, so don't be afraid." he added just to make her at ease.

Lyndon looked at his wristwatch.

"It's time. Are you ready?"

"Yep. Thank you little husband." she then give him a peck on his lips. After that she turned around to walk to the door but before she could, Lyndon grabbed her and yanked her. Because she's lighter than before, he lifted her and now, she coils on him like a snake. He gave her a long and deep, passionate kiss which made them both breathless.

Soon after, together, they exited the room and headed towards the venue together. Many reporters have come to witness such event and to have a fresh and juicy news first.

The large hall that could cater a thousand people are now almost filled with people from the media. The whole room buzzled as they waited for Misha to come out.

What they don't know that what she will anounce to the public this night will shake the entire nation.

Soon after, the room that was filled with lights became dim as the sole light in the room projected to the MC as the start of the program. The MC is easily recognized by the audience. It was non-other than, Duke Lancely, Misha's manager and best friend.

Duke is on the podium waiting for the right time to talk as when he appeared, the media buzzled again. Many could not contain their excitement. Sure, it will be such a huge and explosive announcement.

As the room was dimly lit, a man in black tux is currently staring at the stage with a stern face. As time passes by, he became agitated and anxious. He slowly sipped the champagnne in his hands.

Soon after, Duke concluded that it was the start of the press con and also, Misha came out from the back stage with someone. Wait, what?

How come he's here?

What's the meaning of this?
