First Time on the News with Him
Click!
"Boss, I have the pictures."
A sinister laugh came from the other side, "Good. Now send it to the paparazzi and I will expect to hear about their night on the news in the morning."
With a nod, the person hung up the phone and with a few clicks, all the pictures were up.

Brianna covered her head with her white pillow while the sun shone through her window. Listening to the television, Brianna glared at the closed door, knowing that it was Silvia who had the television volume up loud.
Throwing her pillow across the room and kicking the blanket off of her, Brianna swung her legs over the side of her bed and slipped her slippers on before taking her phone and walking out of the room.
She shot Silvia a confused glance after looking at the television. 'This was the first time Silvia had woke up this early to watch the news.' Thought Brianna as she checked the time on her phone.
11:05
'Yep, too early.'
Walking over to the couch and flopping on it, Silvia looked at her friend with a concerned face, "Bir baby, your date with Jason Jay is all over the news today." She pointed at the television. The headline on the news channel was:
[New CEO, Brianna Jameson was caught going out with Los Angeles Playboy International CEO, Jason Jay! Will Miss Jameson become one of Mr Jay's play things?]
"..." Brianna was speechless, she wore a disguise last night so no one could recognize her, and somehow someone got pictures when they were in the booth together.
Heat rushing up to her cheeks as she saw the picture of them kissing. How was someone able to get such a clear picture of them? They were in Jason's car and his car had tinted windows. Was someone sitting in the backseat? No, she would have heard them. Then how?
A million questions flew through Brianna's mind. This was the last thing that she wanted. What panicked her the most was what would happen once her parents looked at Los Angeles top news?
And right then, her phone started ringing.
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
Looking at the caller ID, her eyes flew open as her heart started racing one hundred miles per hour.
It was her mom.
Looking at Silvia with a helpless facial expression, Silvia slowly shook her head mouthing, 'I don't know Bri baby.'
Brianna nodded in understanding and stood from the couch before walking away into her room.
As Brianna left, a wicked grin found its way across Silvia's face.
In her room, Brianna closed the door behind her before clicking the green phone button and holding the phone up to her ear.
Looking around the room as nervousness filled her, she started twirling her hair around her index finger. If anything is worse than having a stalker to share your information, it was your mother finding out about a secret relationship that had been happening for around three weeks without letting her know.
"Tell me how long." The demanding voice of her mother came through the phone as soon as Brianna answered it.
"How long what?" Brianna asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"You and Mr Jay." She inquired.
"Not that long." admitted Brianna.
"I need numbers, Bri, days? Weeks? Months?"
"Weeks…"
"How much?"
'What is it with parents always trying to intervene in their kids' love life?' Wondered Brianna to herself, "Three." She answered.
"Reason why I was not informed."
"..."
"Well?" her mother was impatient, she must have been angry and annoyed that Brianna hadn't informed her.
"Nothing in particular…." Brianna started, "I was just a bit scared." she answered truthfully.
"You should tell me when you get into these relationships, Brianna. Being with Mr Jay is dangerous and may cause you to feel broken. And after that you might not be able to fall in love again." Her mother coached, "Especially since this is your first love, if something happens, it could quite possibly ruin any future love for you."
Inhaling and exhaling, Brianna had already figured that she would talk about this, this was a topic that Brianna had grown up to live with, her mother would never pass an opportunity to talk about the love business.

"Mr Jay, someone had caught pictures of you and Miss Jameson while on your date with her." Informed Theodore while Jason's personal driver, Jenna, drove the two to work.
Like Brianna, Jason also woke up around eleven. He could wake up at three P. M and not care. He was a CEO, so there was really no certain time that he needed to be up by unless he had a meeting to go to. Lucky for him, Jason had no meetings booked for today.
"Is that so? Find out how the fool did that and delete any pictures and evidence that me and Brianna were together last night." Instructed Jason.
Theodore nodded obediently as they pulled up outside of the building. Jason and Theodore got up and went to their floor.
Jason attempted to call his beloved Brianna to see how she was handling this, and it went right to her voicemail.
[You have reached…] The automated voice started.
[Brianna Jameson.] The voice of Brianna started, [Hello, I am sorry that I cannot make it to the phone right now. Please leave a voicemail with your name and phone number and I will call you back as soon as I receive the message. Thank you and goodbye.]
Brianna's voice sounded so professional, it made him wonder how she could do it.
[Please leave a message at the beep.] The automated voice came back before a beep was heard.
Beeeeep!
"Hey Bri, this is Jason Jay and well... You already have my number. Umm.. I just realized someone got some pictures of us last night and I wanted to know how you were doing. There is nothing to worry about if you are worried. My assistant is right now deleting any footage of us going on a date last night and is also working on finding the culprit who did this." He said in a promising tone.
With that, Jason hung up and sat in his leather chair, leaning back, waiting for Brianna to call him back.

After the call with her mother, Brianna received a notification saying:
[You have one new voicemail.]
Brianna tapped on the notification and held it up to her ear.
[You have one new voicemail from…]
The automated voice stopped for Jason's voice to be heard.
[Jason Jay.]
And then the automated voice came back, giving Brianna instructions.
[Click one to listen to the voicemail, click two to change your message, click three to delete the voicemail, click four to listen to all of your voicemails, click six to delete all voicemails, click nine to view your voicemail settings.]
Following the instruction, Brianna clicked one on the number pad, and Jason's voice came back.
[Hey Bri, this is Jason Jay and well... You already have my number. Umm.. I just realized someone got some pictures of us last night and I wanted to know how you were doing. There is nothing to worry about if you are worried. My assistant is right now deleting any footage of us going on a date last night, and is also working on finding the culprit who did this.]
Brianna started to tear up on Jason's sweet, promising tone. She never knew that he had that side of him. Full of surprises.
Once the message ended, the automated voice came back.
[You have reached the end of the voice mail. Click one to listen to the voicemail again, click two to change your message-]
Before the voice could finish, Brianna clicked the red phone button and searched through her contacts.
After the first ring, Jason answered.
"Hey Jason! I am doing alright, and it is already too late. My parents found out." She admitted.
"I am so sorry Bri, I promise to find whoever did this to you, I will make sure they do not see the sun anymore. He… or she will suffer for what they did."
Listening to this made Brianna's heart overflow with love for him. Was he really going to harm someone for her?
"Awe Jason, you don't have to apologize. And please don't kill anyone. Just let karma do her thing and give the person what they deserve."
Brianna was someone who strongly believed in karma and knew that people will get what's coming for them. Whether that be in the near or far future, all it takes is time.
"Are you sure Bri, I mean I am not scared to get some blood on my hands for you."
"Jason, I'm positive. There is no need for murder. And please don't murder someone, I don't want to be known as 'the Girlfriend to the International CEO Playboy who is in Jail for Murder'"
"That's quite a long name." He commented.
She rolled her eyes, "whatever Mr Los Angeles Playboy International CEO" she repeated the name that she heard on the news this morning.
He laughed, "looks like you figured out my famous name." He joked.
"It wasn't hard, it was all over the news this morning."
"Mr Jay, I found the culprit." Announced Theodore, who just walked into his boss's office.
