NovelEnglishBea had been scheming from overseas, and Sophie knew it. What she didn't see coming was a journalist airing the dirty laundry online, sending it straight to the top of the trending charts. Bold move, really. "Lettake a look," Colby said, stepping out of the bathroom while drying his still-damp hair. He glanced at the news on his phone and nodded seriously. "Catchy headline." "Letfind out who published it," Sophie said, tracing the original post back to its source. When "Emerging News" popped up, she froze.
"Emerging News? Isn't that Angelo's paper?" She couldn't believe it. "Angelo's behind this?" Colby looked over. "What's up?" "I spent fifty million to buy that newspaper. So..." So her own paper was spilling her secrets? This was a big deal in the news world.
Meanwhile, over at the Pollard family home, Angelo was on a tirade in his study. "Are you all out of your minds? Who gave you the green light to release that story? Not only did you publish it, but you also pushed it with a ton of traffic! Are you trying to make sure the whole country knows?" "Boss, we thought the headline was great and it would stir up a lot of discussion. We just wanted to make smoney... Why are you so angry?" "You were supposed to get my go-ahead first! Did I give it?" "Boss, you said if we get a hot scoop, we should run with it immediately so we don't miss the chance. We were just following orders." Angelo felt like he was about to have a heart attack. How had he ended up with such clueless reporters at Emerging News? Seeing James' face turn darker by the second, Angelo panicked. "I don't care, just take down the trending topic now." "That's easy, but there's a snag." "What snag? What mess have you made now?" "The thing is... we've already printed a hundred thousand copies of swneverne paper and they're out for distribution. No way to pull them back." UMS "You've got to be kidding me! It's only been half an hour and you've already distributed the papers?" "Yes, boss. You said to act fast! We printed and pushed them out right away. Made a good chunk of change too!" Angelo let out a string of colorful curses and slammed the phone down.
He wanted to keep venting, but when he saw James, he quickly switched gears. "This is outrageous! Absolutely unacceptable. When get back to Devonport, I'm giving them a piece of my mind! You can't handle news like this!"
"Think you'll make it back to Devonport?" James said calmlym "Don't worry about it. Someone's handling it." "Who? Who could manage this?" "Devonport's most influential figure." Angelo was puzzled. "Why are you praising yourself?"
"I wish it were me," James said, as he casually made himself a cup of coffee. "You might want to stay away fromy.dur phone for the next few days. Given today's situation, I think we need to speed up our learning schedule." "Is that... really necessary?"
"It's urgent. I'll need you to take care of a few things forin a couple of days." The content is on Contele novelenglish.net! Peter Grill Let it Loose! CH/F-PSE
