The next morning the entire company exploded with news.
Knight Corporation released an official statement.
"CEO Alexander Knight confirms relationship with assistant Emily Carter."
Emily nearly dropped her phone.
"You actually announced it?!"
Alexander looked calm.
"That's how rumors become facts."
Emily groaned.
"My life is over."
Alexander shrugged.
"Your acting career just started."
Within hours social media exploded.
Some people supported them.
Others criticized.
"Gold digger."
"Office romance scandal."
Emily read the comments with frustration.
Alexander noticed.
"Stop reading them."
Emily sighed.
"Easy for you to say."
Alexander looked at her seriously.
"From today forward, we face everything together."
Emily looked up.
For a moment she forgot this was fake.
