Chapter 1065 Unconditional Trust
"Heather, get back to the office ASAP and check the trending topics! Something's up!" Finnian said, sounding all panicked.
Heather flagged down a cab in a hurry. "Dynamic Entertainment building, please." She pulled out her phone and checked the trending topics, her hands shaking.
When Heather burst into the office, she joined Karen and Finnian in the conference room for a meeting.
Karen looked up as Heather walked in. "The paparazzo who leaked the dinner video is from Glamour Entertainment Magazine, a third-rate rag. They claim they bought the video from two other paparazzi."
Heather watched the video. "This is so edited. Natalie was doing interviews with Rising Winds all day. She had dinner with Oscar, Matthew, and Samuel in the evening. The paparazzi must've cut out the other two to stir up drama."
Finnian chimed in, "That's not the real problem. The real issue is the other trending topic—the video of Natalie going to Samuel's room at night. I've already had it taken down, but Natalie's reputation is still taking a hit. Heather, can you get in touch with her?"
They all knew Natalie too well to buy into this ridiculous story about her and Samuel.
"Natalie should still be at the dinner. I'll try to reach her," Heather said.
The dinner was private, but she managed to get hold of Natalie. "Natalie, where are you? I'll come get you."
Natalie was already in a car, having been quickly informed of the situation.
Samuel had also headed to the office to figure out how to handle this mess.
Natalie had her assistant drive her to the Dynamic Entertainment building. She'd had a few drinks but wasn't too drunk, just a bit tipsy.
'Who filmed that video of Natalie knocking on Samuel's hotel room door?'
Back then, Natalie was new to the entertainment world and didn't know the ropes. She just wanted to tell Samuel she wasn't interested in dating and hoped they could be friends. So, after washing her hair, she went to Samuel's room to talk. There was no one around at the time.
Natalie was so naive back then. She never thought someone would use this to slander her.
As Natalie stepped out of the elevator, her phone buzzed. It was Adrian calling.
Natalie took a deep breath and answered.
Adrian clearly knew about the video too. Before Natalie could say anything, Adrian said, "Don't stress about this. Enjoy your dinner and don't let it ruin your night. I've got people looking into the source of the video and the Howard Group's PR team is on it."
"Do you trust me?"
Adrian chuckled on the other end. "Natalie, of course I trust you."
"But in the video, I really was knocking on Samuel's door in my pajamas." Natalie gripped her phone tightly.
Anyone who saw that video would have doubts. But Adrian trusted her without question.
