Marco's photo to give her company publicity without permission.”
Things had gone worse than Loraine expected as two members of the
Bryant family had cout to condemn her.
Bryant Group could truly sue her if they wanted to for violating
Marco's portraiture right to make profit. Loraine was very much at a disadvantage with the Law and the opinion
of the public at the moment.

Without wasting time, Loraine called an emergency meeting to deal with the photo crisis.
“I think everyone must have heard about this by now,” Loraine said as she raised her head from her iPad and
looked around at everyone in the conference room.

They all nodded.
Loraine continued, “The photos contain one that has nothing to do with the activity, but no one reported it. It
was not until after the photos were released that we found out about this. This is a problem of the publicity
department and it has to be fixed at all costs. | don’t want to see the smistake happen again.”
All the staff of the publicity department lowered their heads in shame, and their director's face went dark.
Though he knew it was his department's fault, he still felt embarrassed to hear it being talked about in public.
After all, he had been working for the company for so many years.
“After this matter is settled, a month’s pay will be deducted for all employees of the publicity department and
they are required to do a self-critique,” Loraine ordered in a tone of finality, and the atmosphere in the
conference room instantly beca sad and frozen one.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. It was Loraine’s assistant.
“Miss Torres, Bryant Group just called us.”
Loraine was stunned to hear this. But she quickly recovered her composure, grabbed the phone, and put it on
speaker so the entire room would hear.

“Loraine...” Marco's voice called over the phone.
Loraine quickly interrupted him.
“Mr. Bryant, it’s our fault, we admit that. Universe Group will pay you the necessary compensation. If | may ask,
what's your price?”
Marco kept quiet and said nothing.
Hearing no response from him, Loraine continued, “If you refuse to reconcile with us and insist on pressing
charges, I'll take responsibility for everything.”
Everyone in the conference room stared at one another with wide eyes.
Usually, when something like this happened, the president would single out the director in charge of the erring
department and make him take all the blame.
