Lauretta didn't beat around the bush. "You and Joshua are all over the news."
Too many things had happened to Stella recently, and even Lauretta could sense something was wrong.
The Williams Group's stock value hadn't even recovered from the "real vs. fake heiress" scandal. This latest series of incidents, capped by the bombshell news story, sent it plummeting to an all-time low.
At Lauretta's urging, Stella immediately checked the news. Photos of her and Joshua had been leaked online.
The headline screamed: "Exposed! The real reason for the Williams Group's recent troubles? Heiress Stella Cameron's unprofessional affair with her male assistant, leading to disastrous decisions!"
"Is Stella's string of bad decisions due to a man, or is it because... she's not the real Williams heiress and has simply decided to let it all burn?"
"I hear this Joshua is impossibly handsome—a real heartbreaker!"
Stella scrolled through the accompanying pictures. They were all of her and Joshua. A few, taken from their training session at the gym, were shot from specific angles to make their physical contact look intimate and romantic.
As one of the people in the photos, Stella knew he had been teaching her professionally, not taking advantage of the situation in any way.
The story had only been up for an hour and was already trending.
Stella and Joshua were both single, so the news wasn't exactly scandalous, but it gave people plenty to talk about.
An heiress and her male assistant—it was the kind of cliché, dramatic story that sent imaginations running wild.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
