Los Solteros 1: Irresistible Sensation

Chapter Forty-Eight

MUCH to my surprise, the next week, Guidotti Enterprise was all over the news... globally. From their embezzlements, scandals, and even the worst of the worst. Their downfall was decisive from being one of the richest companies in Europe. They can't even use their name to assert influence because of the confessions and evidence being thrown at them.

"Remind me not to make him mad," naisatanig ni Yvette sa aking tabi habang pinapanuod pa rin ang mga news outlet na nagbabalita tungkol sa mga Guidotti.

I chuckled, "But you always do, and nothing happens. And I wonder why." I teased.

She just rolled her eyes at me and said, "Don't even get there,"

"Aba, marunong ka palang gumamit niyan," natatawang pang-iinis naman ni Maria when she slacked herself on the nearby sofa while she's giving me a wine glass to sip. "Ayaw magpa-straight-to-the-point."

"Nagagawa nga naman kapatid ko sa... bestfriend niya." I added while quoting my hands in the air and roll my eyes.

Inikutan niya lang rin kami ng mata and looked at the television again. I sighed, my dear brother... ang bagal mo.

"How's Jorgy and Aurora?" tanong ko nang maalalang wala pa akong nababalitaan tungkol sa kanila.

Maria held her cup of tea and placed it on the tray while responding, "Ayun, Aurora is dreading too much because of that scheming woman. She's blaming herself for letting Adrianna escape from her grip. Alam niyo naman 'yon, perfectionist when it comes to her work."

Napailing iling nalang ako. That woman, probably because of her nature to follow just what she was told, if things turn south, it will have a huge impact. Been there so I know.

"Where is she now?" I asked.

"Well, she is busy running your errands. You're skipping events and some meetings remember?" Maria ridiculously replied while her eyes are bawling out.

Oo nga pala. For sure, the media is flocking to every establishment that we own because of what happened to our parents. However, since my brother is doing all the side work, somehow the incident didn't become a hot topic. But I doubt it...

"What can you say that the heiress of the Fontanilla Group came back, Miss Serena?"

"Are you on good terms with your step-sister?"

"How about your brother? Does he concern that being the heir of your family business might be transferred to the eldest?"

"We got an insight that your current boyfriend— Troy Monteverde, has a child already. Is it true?"

The media who heard that question became more aggressive.

"Is it true, Miss Serena? Is it a child from your eldest sister and Troy?"

"Does Troy know that she's alive and he hid it from everyone?"

"Do you have any idea who is the mastermind of your parents' abduction?"

As soon as I entered the premises of the Fontanilla de Royale lobby, my breathing came back to normal. I was suffocated by the mere fact that almost all media outlets were here plus other internal media journalists too. I underestimated our recent issue.

"Your brother is in the conference room, Lady Elle," Aurora said in her business usual tone and assisted me in going there.

I took a glance at her for a bit to check if she was already okay. But seeing that she's trying her best to look normal and do her job. I shrugged it off. She can handle herself just fine.

"I can't believe that I regret coming here, Trav," I said exasperatedly. "I haven't officially taken any work but I'm already exhausted."

"What did you expect, my dear sis? They'll flock here for sure." Travis replied.
