Roaxana leaned back in her swivel chair, her mind reeling from the news her secretary had just informed her about. She handed the iPad back to her assistant and closed her eyes briefly, trying to collect her thoughts.

“Calm down, Mom,” Roaxana said softly. “Let me explain, okay? The media is just sick. Ryan and I’ve nothing,” she proclaimed. “But you were outside yesterday, darling. Even the motel owner verified about your presence there with Ryan,” Anna stated, feeling worried.

“Gosh! All this is already giving me a headache,” she murmured.
Logan placed the pen on the desk after signing the file. “If Ryan and Roaxana were spotted together, what's the issue in that? The media have nothing better to do than drag the names of families like ours,” he pronounced with a hint of frustration as he closed the file.

“Wh-what?!” Hope’s cheeks flushed pink as she gulped, quickly turning around. “You should sit on the chair,” she suggested, trying to divert the conversation.
