BXBX NOVEL Chapter 101 Adding Fuel To The Fire
Days turned into weeks. Zhen-Zhen and Tristan spent most of their time studying together. Tristan stayed away with the Company\'s matter. Matthew was the one assisting Grandpa Lu in managing the company while Tristan was still on leave.
Just like what they predicted, the company\'s stocks and profits were not affected by Tristan\'s scandal video. But the issue didn\'t go down nor forgotten.
Someone was creating hype in the media, adding fuel to the fire. Since Family Davies was one of the influential and powerful families in the City of Empire, media networks got their interest in the issue and conflict of the two brothers. Now, even the reporters took this chance to cover a big scope.
Tristan Davis became the number one topic and headline again in social media, television, and newspapers. Someone was working hard not to bury the issue especially now that the engagement party of Hannah and Andrew would be held two weeks from now.
Spectators were excited about what would happen to this family drama of the Davis Brothers. So Andrew and Hannah\'s engagement party also became the most awaited event of the month.
Some rumors and speculations were also spreading around the City of Empire.
Will Andrew become the new CEO of Heavenly Star Enterprise? Tristan was not coming to the company for a few weeks now.
Tristan Davis went into hiding after his scandal video became viral. Is this the end of his CEO career? Did the Davis Family Head, Luke Davis punish his grandson?
Where\'s Tristan Davis? He didn\'t attend any Company\'s gathering for a while. Did he resign already?
Maybe he was enjoying himself together with his other women, trying to mend his broken heart.
Will Tristan Davis attend the engagement party of his brother? Is he planning to make a commotion during the party?
Those were some of the questions being asked in the public. Some were targeting Tristan and mocking him. These rumors were also reported to Grandpa Lu.
Inside Grandpa Lu\'s office in the Heavenly Star Enterprise, Matthew and Assistant Twig were standing in front of Grandpa Lu\'s table.
Grandpa Lu was sitting on his executive chair while massaging his temple. He just finished reading all the articles and headlines about Tristan\'s scandal.
"The video was taken down a long time ago. Why does this issue reappear once again?" Grandpa Lu sounded really upset about this. He looked problematic.
Matthew and Assistant Twig didn\'t know what to say. Even the two of them didn\'t expect this issue to escalate further. They just remained silent while looking down.
"Where\'s that punk? What he had been doing all these times? I thought he would try to fix and clean his reputation again? Don\'t tell me he was playing around with his women in the past few weeks?" Grandpa Lu asked Matthew.
"No, Chairman. He\'s been staying in his Condo Unit. He didn\'t go out unless he needed to buy something." Matthew promptly said, defending Tristan.
\'He\'s busy tutoring his future wife.\' Matthew added to his thoughts. He couldn\'t voice it out to Grandpa Lu as of this moment.
Grandpa Lu let out a humorless laugh after hearing that. "Staying at home? Don\'t lie to me, Matthew. I won\'t buy that excuse. Tristan would never stay at home for that long. Don\'t tell me his Condo became his love nest now? Probably his women were the ones coming and visiting him."
Cough! Cough!
Matthew choked after hearing Grandpa Lu\'s remarks.
\'A Love Nest of your grandson and future granddaughter-in-law.\' That\'s what Matthew was thinking after hearing the word \'Love nest\'.
Matthew knew that Grandpa Lu would not believe it. If Matthew was in his shoes he won\'t believe it either. They knew Tristan\'s attitude. He won\'t stay at home while doing nothing. He would die because of boredom.
But surprisingly, Tristan didn\'t get bored. He was enjoying his time together with Zhen-Zhen. Who would not enjoy the moment with a charming lady like Zhen-Zhen? He was even taking advantage of the \'punishment\' game the two of them were doing every review session.
"Grandpa Lu, you can check on the visitor\'s logbook that no one visited Tristan for the past few weeks. Besides, Tristan was trying to investigate who was responsible for posting his video on the internet." Matthew tried his best to convince Grandpa Lu.
"I\'m not defending him, Chairman. I am telling the truth. I can attest to that." Matthew added, with so much conviction in his voice.
Grandpa Lu could see that Matthew was not making excuses for Tristan so for now he believed him.
"Chairman Lu, I think Young Master Tristan did the right thing about staying at home. Reporters are looking for him. They even started pestering Young Master Andrew and Lady Hannah because of the issue between the three of them." Assistant Twig also shared his thoughts.
Matthew\'s lips twitched, fighting a smile. Assistant Twig was right. Reporters were trying their best to locate Tristan but they failed. Now, the couple became their targets.
Tristan was enjoying his peaceful moment at home while Andrew and Hannah were being bugged by the annoying reporters every day.
Grandpa Lu could only sigh deeply.
"Assign our bodyguards to Andrew and Hannah. I know it is hard for them to be bothered by reporters every day." Grandpa Lu gave his order to Assistant Twig.
"This is noted, Chairman." Assistant Twig responded.
Then Grandpa Lu turned to Matthew.
"Tell Tristan to attend Andrew and Hannah\'s engagement no matter what. If he will not come then people will continue to mock him. Inform him about this issue. I don\'t know if he is aware of this or not. As much as possible I want him to avoid the reporters for now."
"I got it, Chairman. Don\'t worry I will relay your message to Tristan. I will visit him tonight." Matthew politely said to Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu just nodded at him before dismissing Matthew and Assistant Twig.
Grandpa Lu wondered what Tristan would do to clear this issue.
\'If he could just settle down with a woman then maybe this issue would go down immediately. This is the main reason why I want him to find a wife already. Tsk Tsk Tsk.\' Grandpa Lu thought to himself.
