"What about your work? What happened?" Cayenne inquired with her sharp and scrutinizing gaze. "Now, be honest with me."

  Luiz looked at his brother but Kyle only smirked. "You asked for a thorough conversation, deal with it."

  "But I didn't want to talk about me!" Luiz exclaimed and held her brother's arm. "Bro, help me."

  "No, I don't want to included in his wrath." Kyle whispered to his brother. "You can do it. Just be honest with it. Either you tell them now or later, Yen would still know about it."

  "Enough with the whispering!" Cayenne yelled in anger and stood up in anger. "What happened to your work?"

  "Sis, I didn't even shout at you earlier. Why are you shouting at me now?"

  "Whether it's earlier or later, you don't have the right to shout at me. Try it and I will staple your mouth."? Cayenne was really angry this time. Looking at the faces of the people around her, it's obvious that Luiz didn't make any mistake but someone was probably bullying him. "You allowed someone to bully you?"

  "I didn't." Luiz waved his hands while shaking his head. "I just didn't respond to the issue in a timely manner but I'm fine. I am not bullied."

  She narrowed her gaze and Luiz was fidgeting even more on his seat. "Your lies won't get past me, you know." Cayenne snickered, returning the statement that Luiz just said earlier. She turned around and looked back to her husband instead. "Hubby, what exactly happened to this brat?"

  Stefan looked at the threatening smile on his wife's lips and then looked past her to find Luiz playing the puppy eyes on him. "Last week – "

  One of the guards came inside and following behind him were Reuben and Ingrid. "Excuse me ma'am. Your father has come to visit you." He really cut Stefan's word in a timely manner, giving Luiz the moment of relief.

  Cayenne spun around and faced his father and his wife. Walking towards them, she walked past her brother and whispered, "This isn't over yet," making Luiz shiver in fear.

  "I'll deal with it now." Luiz ran as fast as he could to look for Erwin and to call Tristan as well.

  "Did I disturb your conversation?" Reuben asked with apologetic look on his face.

  "No dad. Come and sit." Cayenne was back to being the gentle and sweet girl in front of his father and his wife but she didn't dare forget what problem her brother could be facing.

  Kyle took a deep breath and left, intending to help his brother settle his matter before the end of the day. It's not really a difficult situation but because didn't solve it in a timely manner, it has become a huge trouble now.

  Few days ago, during the last photoshoot that Luiz took for the new gadget that X-tech company released, he worked with a female model and she seemed harmless and kind so, he didn't really put up his guard around her. They talked and spent time together for the whole day and he didn't really pay attention to his surroundings knowing that his manager was watching and there were many bodyguards looking after him.

  After the photoshoot, the director treated everyone to dinner. There were other people and other women in the group but that female model chose to sit beside Luiz. Luiz didn't mind though. She didn't do anything out of ordinary so, he just focused on his food. From time to time, he'd talk to the director, sometimes to the cameraman and to the other staffs.

  After half an hour, he excused himself to use the toilet and left with the bodyguards following him from a distance. Not long after, the female model also left to get some air. Nobody thought that things would go south from that point.

  She was leaning on the wall, flustered and drank. Worried that something would happen to her, Luiz approached her and held her up to keep her steady. If he had known, if only he paid more attention to her attitude and if only he had looked around, he wouldn't bat an eye to what was happening to her.

  Apparently, sensing that someone held her, the female model pressed her body even closer to Luiz and when she got the chance, she kissed him. It wasn't a kiss on the cheeks nor was it a quick kiss on his lips but it wasn't to the point of French kiss either. However, the duration was more than enough to be caught with the camera.

  Luiz pushed her away as if he was disgusted by her but it was too late. The picture was already uploaded as soon as it was taken. It was a deliberate plan to ruin his rising career in modeling.

  "Take her away from me!" Luiz glared at the guards and walked, rubbing his lips with the sleeves of his clothes. "I don't want to see that woman ever again."

  "Yes, sir."? And so, another woman was added on the list of people who are not allowed to approach Luiz.

  After that incident, Luiz went back to their dining table, telling everyone that he wasn't feeling well and needed to go back home. He had no idea that his picture kissing a woman was already circulating online.

  With his mind full of worry for his sister, he had no time to check what was happening on the social media. If Clarisse didn't call him to ask for explanation, he wouldn't know that he's being scolded already.

  It would have been fine if she was just a small-time model but the problem was, her boyfriend was a well-known B-list actor. He starred in many dramas and movies already and has lots of fans despite the fact that he's already taken. Now, he was making a big fuss about the picture and even tagged many big shots who were close to Luiz. Jillyanna and Riley were even included.

  He wanted to deal with it as soon as he can but the news of his sister's rescue distracted him again. During the street interview, someone actually asked about the scandal he was involved but he ignored this question and focused on his sister's news. If only he had answered that question.

  "I will surely kick this woman down along with his boyfriend." Luiz muttered angrily. He wasn't angry because he was accused of being a third party or snatching someone's loved. What he was angry about was the fact that he caused Clarisse to be upset. He borrowed Erwin's phone and called Tristan directly. "This is Luiz. I hope I am not disturbing you…"
