After saying that,Melissa turned around and saw Murray.Their eyes locked,although she didn’t want her
to be there but she inwardly appreciated his presence.
After a while he gave her a thumbs up,as if he knew how nervous she
“”The reporters are already here. We will start in a few minutes. Go and prepare for that first.”
It was the year’s end meeting and Murray didn’t go to his office.
It was a make or break moment. The press conference was to sustain the company’s reputation and
Melissa couldn’t risk that.
“”I will join you!”A stern voice came from behind.
Melissa turned around and saw Murray was standing there. This time he wasn’t asking her but telling
her. He was that powerful support that everyone would have wanted but unfortunately she didn’t.
“No,thanks.”Melissa refused subconsciously.
Without delay,she went downstairs directly.
When she reached the venue she saw many reporters were surrounded by security guards.A rush of
adrenaline went into her.
Earlier she was nervous but seeing them like that she was slightly scared.At that time a hand rested on
her shoulders.
The touch was enough to comfort her and calm her mind.
She didn’t need to look up to know the person as she knew that it was Murray..His tall back was like a
hard support, blocking people to reach Melissa.
“Security guard,stop them from coming near Melissa.”Murray shouted loudly.
When these reporters saw Murray coming towards them, they turned in the other direction. They were
scared by the sharp look that Murray was giving them.
The security guards followed the instructions given by Murray.In a short while,everything get into place
and the chaos was handled well.
Meanwhile all the reporters were recorded inside and they sat in their chairs.
Even though Melissa was reluctant, Murray still followed her to the backstage as he wasn’t ready to
take any risk and he wasn’t ready to trust her safety with anyone except himself.
At that moment one of her staff members came towards her and whispered in her ears, “Everything is
in check now. You can start now.”
Melissa nodded silently and followed him. When those reporters came into sight,Melissa closed her
eyes and took a deep breath.
“You can do this, Melissa.”She motivated herself and put on a fake professional smile and walked upto
the stage.
“Hello everyone!!First of all,thank you so much for coming here.As you know I am Melissa,CEO of this
company.
Without wasting much time let’s come to the point.I know a car accident of our new employee has
grabbed quite a lot of attention lately.
So to give closure to some curious and fictitious minds let me clarify that our company has nothing to
do with it and we have no reason to cover it up either.”
Melissa’s voice was sonorous and powerful,and her rhythmic eyes were more convincing and NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
confident.Air was filled with the strict silence. Then Melissa further added.
“I know some of you think that our company is responsible for this accident.As you might think that
Claire has some personal grudge and I had planned this.
To be honest you’re not wrong if you think like that as things are presented like this. But let me tell you
that before making any judgment please listen to this recording.”
Then, Melissa took out her phone and put the microphone on the play key.She clicked on the recording
with Claire.
It was her conversation with Claire which she had in the hospital.She was relieved that it was all
recorded.
At that moment the voice of Claire was echoing in the surrounding. Although everyone felt that it was
Valire but they were unwilling to believe that it was real Claire.
Some of them sighed and started discussing in front of each other.
“What’s going on?Did Claire do this to herself?”There was an utter astonishment in their voices.
“That’s impossible. I’ve been in touch with Claire for a long time and I’ve never thought that she is such
a cunning person. Why the hell did she risk her own life?”Not only them but Murray couldn’t believe his
ears either.His eyes were fixed on Melissa and thought there was more to what it was looking at.
Although Claire had made some major mistakes in the past.But everyone deserves a second
chance,so does she.
Risking lives and killing each other wasn’t Claire’s style.He thought.
Meanwhile Melissa stopped talking and looked up. The amazement on everyone’s face was worth
looking at.
“As we heard that truth is always hard to accept,and trust me,I wasn’t able to believe it either.I know
there must be lots of doubts.It’s so strange that members of Gibson’s family do such tricks to deal with
the person they don’t like.”She completed it.
Meanwhile it was so unbelievable that even Renita and other people in the Public Relation Department
of the company couldn’t believe their eyes and ears.Now they got to know the reason why Melissa
wasn’t panicking or worrying.
They found it a very smart move and impressive too. Then when all of them were trying to find
evidence, Melissa had them.As nobody knew the plan before then there were very less chances of
getting failed.
Undoubtedly,everyone got to know the better picture of that incident and they started seeing Melissa in
a better light.
“”Now I request all of you to listen to another recording. You may know the person in it or you may
not.Please decide that yourself.”She mumbled.
Without delay Melissa clicked on the conversation that happened between her and that boy and
mother.
Although she didn’t want to involve them in this whole chaos,she didn’t have any choice.In order to
sustain the company’s reputation it was very important.
All the conversations inside were so sincere and convincing.
After listening to everything,reporters were baffled and they were speechless.Everything was
unbelievably true.A few minutes ago,everyone was sympathizing with Claire and now it was changed in
the blink of seconds.
“It’s so inhuman of Claire Gibson.How can she fake her accident just to frame Melissa?Was she so
insecure about her personal and professional life?”
All the questions bombarded the whole area.
And now it was impossible for the security and the company’s staff to control the situation.
Even Murray looked at her in disbelief,as if he was accusing her for something she didn’t do.
Melissa sighed slightly and in order to get hold of the situation she mumbled,, “I believe that one day
every wrong will be exposed to the world. “If still there was someone left to not to believe that, she
happily welcomed them to fight with her till they prove themselves right.
Standing behind the stage, when Murray saw Melissa coming.He looked at her in astonishment and
asked her, “Is the recording you played true?”
“No!”Melissa didn’t want to get involved with him.
“No?”He repeated her words.
Although his every action was already hurting Melissa but this time she chose to not get affected by
him.
“I know you will not believe me.So there’s no way to give an explanation to you.As if you would have
then I am sure you aren’t asking me this stupid question right now.”She shook her head.
“Did you find all these by yourself?” He ignored her words and asked that as he had sent his men to
investigate, but they hadn’t found anything about the whole accident.
But Melissa not only found the truth but came there with evidence.Was it that easy for her?He thought.
He was only looking at the results. Meanwhile it was Melissa’s hard- work of staying up all night that
she was able to find the evidence against Claire.
No one helped her in the process.
“I think you have nothing else to ask. So I would like to ask for your leave.”
Melissa turned around and left,leaving no room for Murray.
Meanwhile Murray rushed back to his own company. As after listening to all those recordings he
wanted to know about the truth.
Not only about this matter,but also about the Democratic company.
“I have asked you to do a quick investigation.But what have you done? Nothing!What exactly do you do
everyday?”Murray shouted and vented his anger on his assistant.
The assistant looked at him blankly. “Mr.Gibson,you didn’t ask me to do that.It was the secretary
general who was in incharge,not me.”
His assistant was absolutely right. Murray always assigns important work to the secretary general, and
nobody else is allowed to know much details about their work.
Meanwhile Murray was pissed off. He took a deep breath and waved his hand to let him go. He went
straight to the Secretary office and saw all the secretaries working hard with their heads down. Just
then he slapped the Secretary General’s desk in front of him.
