A problem Lie

An hour had passed since Alexander had arrived at the Company and started going through his documents. Steven, his secretary, walked into the office looking visibly upset. Alexander looked up from his work and immediately noticed the expression on Steven's face. He leaned back in his chair and asked, "What's wrong, Steven?"

Steven took a deep breath before speaking. "There's a big problem, Mr.Sterling. A really big problem."

Alexander's heart sank. He had a feeling he knew what Steven was going to say. "What is it?"

Steven pulled out his phone and showed Alexander the news. It was a video of Ava, the daughter of the CEO of Hamilton Corporation, being interviewed by reporters in a parking lot. She was claiming that she and Alexander had dated in the past and that he had cheated on her with another woman, which was the reason she had withdrawn her investment from Sterling Corporation.

Alexander felt like he had been punched in the gut. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing.
