Chapter 1008 A Picture
The assistant reported to Triston about Iris. “Mr. Lambert, there is something unusual going on. Iris is paying Miss Swann more money for advertising than they pay an international star.”
That was strange because popular as Audrey was as an actress, she was no match for an international star. So, it meant Iris was overpaying Audrey for no reason.
The assistant sent the picture of the jewelry to Triston. “This is what they gave to Miss Swann. I heard her manager is looking into this. They seem to have concerns about it, too.”
Born in a wealthy family, Triston knew its value at the first sight of the picture. They gave her the jewelry set for free, which was worth more than her endorsement fee. They had to be after something.
Triston inhaled a deep breath of the cigarette between his fingers and asked, “Have you found out who the boss is?” His voice was low and distant.
“Not yet,” answered the assistant guiltily. He had put quite a few men on this, but whatever or whoever behind Iris seemed to be buried very deep. At last, he only learned that the boss was a big shot from abroad.
Triston had thought of this, but he wouldn’t give up easily. “Ask Paxton for help. He’ll know what to do.”
The Duncans had the world’s best intelligence network.
“Yes, Mr. Lambert.”
Kim’s call again woke up Audrey. She finally picked it up. “Yes, Kim?”
Kim’s voice came eagerly from the phone. “Did you go out with Triston yesterday?”
Audrey was stunned and came to her senses slowly. “Are you kidding? Did you have someone follow me? I did go out with Triston for dinner.”
It was not the first time she went out with Triston. Audrey didn’t think it was a big deal. She thought maybe her assistant had told Kim about this.
But Kim’s cursing came to her ears the next second. “Stupid girl! I wish I had someone follow you yesterday. I really do. I made a big mistake to trust you on your own. Do you know someone took a picture of you with Triston and posted it online?”
Audrey was dumbfounded. It took her a while to chew over what Kim had told her. “No way! Holy crap, Kim! I have no idea of that. How’s it going on the internet?”
Kim wished to lose his temper on her for her carelessness but now was not the time. He had to discuss the emergency with the public relations crew.
“Check it on Twitter and then contact me. I’ll go make up some excuses for this with the crew now,” said Kim helplessly. “Do not comment before I tell you to!” he added.
“Okay,” answered Audrey. She logged in on Twitter and saw it in the hot trends immediately. She clicked on the tag and prayed not to see something nasty.
