The Scandal

"Yes. As soon as possible would be best. I'll work more tonight, and have things planned out for you tomorrow, we can also work on a statement as well. It should be delivered in person, we want to show them that this is a fight they aren't going to win and we won't fight standing down." She said seriously.

"Is there anything else that I should know before I go, anything at all?" She asked her seriously.

"A week ago I went to a womens clinic," she said to her lightly, "I thought I was pregnant but I'm not, I swear," she told her softly.

She sighed softly, looking at her seriously. "In three days, I want you to be tested again. Just to be safe. We don't need any surprises."

She stood, reaching for her bag. "Make extra copies of those folders, but make sure they're safe. Only with people you trust. We'll get to work on a way to fix your image, and a statement for tomorrow. Until then, be seen. You are not at fault. And we need to show them that." She said to her softly. "Alright?"

She nodded a little,"Okay," she said softly, "I'll test again in three days, then we'll go from there," she said to her gently then licked her lips.

"I'll make extra copies one for my mom and dad then put one in a safe deposit box and one in a secret place," she said to her lightly as she looked at her hands.

She nodded and sighed, putting the folder and thumb drive into her bag. "Don't worry. We'll make this go away. Everything will be fine."

She smiled a little and sighed. "Just come by tomorrow. Here's my card with an address on it, but I don't think you need it. Go out for some coffee or something. You'll feel a bit better."

"Ill get rid of them on your lawn too. They arent supposed to be there and they know it." She added.

She smiled,"Thank you," she said to her lightly, "I will be in contact with you, just keep me posted,"

Evelyn sighed as she sat on her bed them rubbed her face, she didn't want to leave the house but she knew she had to to paint a better image of her in the media.

"Don't worry. Go out, and get some rest." She smiled reassuringly. "I'll see you tomorrow." She said, putting her bag onto her shoulder and pulling out her phone. She had a lot to work on, and she needed to get started.

She laid back on her bed and closed her eyes, "Well, Evelyn get to it," she said then got up getting dressed. She straightened her jacket before going down stairs to inform her parents about everything that was going to happen.

"I'm going out for coffee, you guys can join me or you can stay but I have to make a public appearance so they know I'm not ashamed and I am not the villain here," Evelyn told them lightly as she grabbed her purse and sighed.

"We're going to stay here till your grandmother calls," Travis spoke.

"Oh joy, I'd love to hear what she has to say," she rolled her eyes a little then sighed.

Alexandra walked around her office, calling around on her phone. She had the perfect idea to change up the medias image of Evelyn, and just the person to help.

Her car had started stuttering as she drove back to her office, and had decided to visit her mechanic. While she was there the idea hit her, and it was perfect.

She sat at her desk, working on the statement they'd release later that day.

Evelyn walked into the office and looked around then peeked into an office,"You said you needed to speak with me?" she said to her as she walked into her office. She had just woken up not too long ago and she saw she had voice mails - she didn't want to seem like she was ignoring any one so she made sure to call back numbers she recognized but never called a number she didn't know.

"Yes," She said, looking up. "Sit down. I'm just working on your statement for later. Has anything happened since yesterday? I had the greatest idea to help with your image."

"I have a boyfriend for you," She said, laughing slightly at the way it sounded as she said it.

She sat down in a chair, "He called me," Evelyn spoke as she looked at her, "He said If I stop with media representation he will make sure my career is intact," she said to her lightly then looked at her hands, "And I told him, it'd be a cold day in hell before I let him tarnish my reputation and make my career for me,"

I scoffed. "What? I'll have the call put on record. He's threatened because he knows you can destroy him with what you have and what I can do." She said, running a hand through her hair.

"Problem is, he knows I'm working for you, which means he'll need someone good. But who?" She murmured, chewing on her lip.

"It doesn't matter... Not yet. But he can't do anything we can't counter. But I'm going to need you to cut off communication with him. If he calls, ignore. Texts, screenshot and move on. Okay?"

She nodded a little, "Okay," she said to her lightly, "I'll screen shot and save it then ignore him,"

"Who is my boyfriend," she asked him with a weak smile, "Anything to make my life a little easier will make me a happy woman,"

"He's a mechanic, and he's very kind. I got him out of a difficult situation, so he owes me a favor. Having a boyfriend, it will show that you'renot letting your life be hung up on this." She smiled.

"However accelerated or not, the relationship would be an excellent way to fix your image. Plus he's good looking. That will get the attention of the women following your story. Women are suckers for a pretty face."

She nodded a little,"Alright," she said as she looked at her, "lets do this then, when do I meet him?" she asked curiously, "Whats his name?"

"Jason Blake." She said, picking up her phone. "Gianna, call Jason. Tell him we're doing what we talked about and to get over here as soon as possible." She said before hanging up.

"I have a picture around here, but its old. It'll do better if you wait until he gets here."

Gianna walked in, knocking quickly. "He's on his way, he said fifteen minutes."

She nodded a little and sighed,"Alright, I'll wait then - then what?" she asked as she looked at her, "We're seen together, doing things? I just don't know whats happening right now,"

Teddy walked into the office, "Uhm, there is some Arlene Vitale," he said to her with wide eyes, "And.. you're not going to believe who she looks like,"

She pressed her hand to her forehead. "If she looks like Evelyn, I'm even more disgusted by this man."

Gianna walked in behind teddy, sighing a bit. "You're not going to believe who's representing him." She said, turning on the tv and turning to the news, showing a picture of Tristan Winters on the screen.

"Great." She muttered, shaking her head. "Teddy, go check this Arlene out. Come back to me on what you find." She said, turning to Evelyn. "This just changed everything a bit. Being with Jason is just a cover. Think of him as a friend. You just be seen together. After when this blows over, you go your separate ways."

Evelyn sighed a little,"Alright, I can do that. I'm good at playing pretend," she murmured as she rubbed the back of her neck then crossed her legs. "He is a disgusting person," she whispered softly as she closed her eyes.

"Arlene Vitale was in college when Miller approached her five years ago, he paid her off to keep her mouth shut she has a copy of the check and letter in hand ready to hand it to you," Teddy told her with a laugh, "Brown hair, pale, and blue eyes,"
