Chapter 1008 A Picture The assistant reported to Triston about Iris. âMr. Lambert, there is something unusual going on. Iris is paying Miss Swann more money for advertising than they pay an international star.â
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. âThis is what they gave to Miss Swann. I heard her manager is looking into this. They seem to have concerns about it, too.â
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, âHave you found out who the boss is?â His voice was low and distant.
âNot yet,â 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 wouldnât give up easily. âAsk Paxton for help. Heâll know what to do.â
The Duncans had the worldâs best intelligence network.
âYes, Mr. Lambert.â
Kimâs call again woke up Audrey. She finally picked it up. âYes, Kim?â
Kimâs voice came eagerly from the phone. âDid you go out with Triston yesterday?â
Audrey was stunned and came to her senses slowly. âAre you kidding? Did you have someone follow me? I did go out with Triston for dinner.â
It was not the first time she went out with Triston. Audrey didnât think it was a big deal. She thought maybe her assistant had told Kim about this.
But Kimâs cursing came to her ears the next second. âStupid 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?â
Audrey was dumbfounded. It took her a while to chew over what Kim had told her. âNo way! Holy crap, Kim! I have no idea of that. Howâs it going on the internet?â
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.
âCheck it on Twitter and then contact me. Iâll go make up some excuses for this with the crew now,â said Kim helplessly. âDo not comment before I tell you to!â he added.
âOkay,â 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.
