When Uncle Gibson was saying that, Melissa was confused.She didn’t know what to say and what not as he wasn’t in a position to listen to her. And her words weren’t working on him either.
“”I know you aren’t in a position to listen to me.But I still repeat myself,l am not someone who holds personal grudges at work. In Fact I was feeling restless when I got to know about this accident.
I can’t imagine hurting her or anyone else.”Melissa tried to explain herself.
Meanwhile Murray kept standing there with a long face. He wasn’t able to comment on anything.
“Boss,many reporters gathered outside the hospital.I don’t know from where they got the news but they are waiting for your statement now.”Renita rushed towards Melissa and her eyes were fixed at her cellphone’s screen.
Unfortunately everyone had already started blaming Melissa.
Although they were aware that they needed to deal with the reporters,they never knew that they had to do that in such a shorter period.
“We need to go downstairs and give the explanation.”Renita said to Melissa.
All this while the only thing and the person who was hurting Melissa the most was Murray.His words and attitude was undeniably rude towards her.
So she gave him a last look and went downstairs without looking back.
When they reached the entrance of the hospital.Reporters ran in their direction and surrounded them.
Air was filled with ’number of questions. The sight was scary. Meanwhile Melissa was thinking about the source of their information.
“Only few people know about the accident.So the person is definitely someone from the inner circle.”She thought.
“Melissa,I heard that the patient in the hospital is the cousin of Murray.She used to like him.Is it an accident or a planned murder?”
One of the reporters shouted after seeing her standing there.After that all of them followed the league.
“Melissa,I heard that you have a personal grudge against Claire Gibson.Did offering her a contract in your company be your first move towards your strategy?””We are waiting for your statement. Why are you still silent?”
Those reporters were trying to take advantage of the whole situation.Someone had already revealed the inside news without knowing the whole truth.
And that was creating a major problem for Melissa.
Due to the weak body and overworking, Melissa was feeling dizzy.She stumbled on her steps but Retina held her on time.
“Be careful,” she worriedly said.
It was less than three months since Melissa gave birth to her child. Her body hasn’t recovered yet.
“I want to say that half baked knowledge is injurious to health. The information you got is not true as the only person who knows the truth is Claire and she hasn’t gained consciousness so you have to wait till that time.
Moreover you don’t have to worry about anything.Another company is going to issue a statement and hopefully it will answer all your doubts.So pay attention to that.”
Retina tried to calm them but failed miserably.
These reporters didn’t care what Renita said. Unfortunately they only wanted a controversial statement to spice up their prime time news bulletin hour.
“Rather than her or the company it will be better for us and everyone who is waiting to know about the truth.Please Ms.Melissa come forward and answer our questions.”
Fortunately Melissa could understand their purpose and thoughts,but she didn’t have much energy to deal with them now.
“Apologize for the convenience.But I am not in the position to say anything for now.Let Claire regain her consciousness then I will speak on this matter,not before that. For now just wait for the company’s statement, “Melissa elegantly shrugged them away.
Then,under the protection of Renita,she walked back outside the ICU.
There she saw Uncle Gibson and Murray sitting next to each other. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Some reporters are still outside the hospital. They have started digging and making stories about this accident.So be careful,although our company will issue a statement to explain the whole thing,but I know they will not stop.So I don’t want to hear any absurd comments based on your assumptions.”.Melissa said this to warn Uncle Gibson that no matter how much he cared about his daughter, he should know what to say and what not to say.
He must have an idea in his mind.
“Melissa,I won’t bother you with our family affairs.”Uncle Gibson said and asked them to leave.
Murray had never tried to defend him.
On the way to the car,Melissa was heartbroken, but she tried to stay calm and didn’t let it come on her face.
“There must be a lot of reporters outside the company now.I can’t go back to the company now. You have to take care of the overall situation. When you reach there, you only need to do two things.”
Melissa told Retina and began to arrange the follow-up.
“The first thing that we need to find out is what exactly happened there?Especially the fact that Claire was talking before the accident.”Melissa was finding the whole situation strange. her.
It was like somebody had staged it and now everything was coming at
“The second thing you need to do after reaching the company is make a statement..We have nothing to do with this matter.From the moment Claire came to the company, from our first meeting there,,we retrieved all the videos during this period of time and integrated them into a five minute long video and posted it online.I need the most high-definition audio.”Melissa instructed her.
She wanted to cover up the whole thing in the most powerful way.
Renita nodded and said,”Don’t worry about anything.I am going back to the company,I will handle everything. By the way,I was worried about other entertainers signing up. May not they get affected by this.”
“The company had always backed them.Now it’s their time to support us.If things get worse then the company itself will take accountability.”Melissa said in a low tone.
“Tell our entertainer that our company is in trouble now and they need to support us. So now I am giving you the responsibility to handle this problem.”
Melissa had made everything clear, but all she was afraid of was online trolling.She didn’t want to see anyone accusing her without evidence.
She didn’t want to be the one to get blamed again.
After telling all the things,she sat down in the car..Renita drove Melissa home directly.
Her parents were basking in the sun outside and were unaware about the things that happened in the company. But when they saw Melissa coming back home in the office hours. They got confused and worried as it was so unlikely of her.
“Are you not feeling well? Why do you come back at this time?”
They barged into her with so many questions.
When she didn’t say anything,her mother stepped forward and touched her forehead. Her father quickly grabbed her hand and bluntly said, “Your temperature seems fine.But why are your hands so cold? Are you alright,Melissa?”
Melissa’s heart was softened at that moment. The concern in their voice was assuring her that she wasn’t alone.It was a fact that they believed her.It was just in front of them when she could really behave like a child who craved love and security.
It was precisely because of that moment that she couldn’t stop herself from crying her heart out.
Without delay,she rested her head on her mother’s shoulder to vent all the grievances and resentment that she had received today.
Her father was confused.He kept asking her,”Who on the earth hurt my daughter?”
Melissa cried for a long time before she came to her senses.
“I am so sorry.I know I have made you worried but I can’t control myself.”She burst into tears once again.
Her mother instantly wiped her tears and said, “what are you talking about?Stop with these formalities. We are a family. We will face all the difficulties together.”
She nodded her head and took her parents inside.After taking a comfortable seat there,she briefly told them everything.
“”Has he lost his senses?How dare he blame my daughter for something she can never think of doing?”
After hearing the whole thing, Melissa’s father was angry and wanted to give an earful to Uncle Gibson.
After thinking about everything wisely, Melissa’s mother stopped him.”You are such an impetuous person. Your health isn’t good right now.How are you going to deal with those vultures outside?”
“I just can’t watch them accusing my daughter for something she hadn’t done.”He said in a stern voice.
“I will deal with this myself.I promise,I won’t let them blame me for anything which I hadn’t done.”
Melissa didn’t want them to worry about her so much.So she tried to little did she know that her parents were already worried assure them.But about her.
