Chapter 276 - Gold Digger (2/2)

As the girls sat down, the security guards gestured for the fans to hush and they all quietened down.

Like always, Avaleigh sat in the middle and her members sat in their usual positions beside her.

Mimi hated sitting at the very edge where people barely noticed her, but she had no choice.

Soon, the first reporter stood up and started asking some questions. This reporter was from the local newspaper, so she was professional and stuck to questions related to the concert and the group in general.

”How was your rehearsal this morning? Are you ready for your first show tomorrow?” the reporter asked.

”Our rehearsal ran perfectly. There were no mistakes and the stage and lighting crew here in Hong Kong have been really helpful,” Avaleigh replied in Cantonese.

Of course, due to their language barrier, Avaleigh answered most of the questions on behalf of her group.

This annoyed Mimi even more.

But, after this reporter was done, the reporter from a popular gossip magazine stood up with a smirk, adjusted his glasses and started questioning them in English. He wanted to make sure everyone understood his questions because he wanted them to hear what he wanted to say and he wanted to see their reactions.

”Ava, do you feel like you've disappointed your fans with your recent scandal?” the reporter asked straightforwardly.

Avaleigh looked at the reporter with confusion. Didn't Magnolia already prove it was an accident? How was it a disappointment?

”It was already proven to be an accident this morning...” Avaleigh replied carefully.

”Judging by your confused expression, I'm assuming you haven't seen the recent comments to your video...” the reporter smirked as he waved his phone.

Avaleigh quickly checked her phone and scrolled through the comments, while everyone else did the same thing. Of course, some people hadn't seen it either.

Avaleigh saw the negative comments and frowned.

”It seems like you found yourself a rich man here in Hong Kong. Is this how you've managed to receive so many jobs outside of Korea?” the reported sneered.

Avaleigh cleared her throat and kept her calm, ”I maintain that this was an accident. I didn't know that man.”

At that moment, Mimi jumped in and said, ”Ava works hard on negotiating jobs outside of Korea. She's serious about her work and is often flying around. She's even flown to Hong Kong personally to discuss some of her jobs and to attend auditions.”

”Oh really? How often does she fly?” the reporter asked.

”Once every couple of weeks. She barely gets any sleep and always returns looking really tired,” Mimi frowned with concern.

But, this response made the reporter laugh, ”Are you sure she's been flying for work? Or to have fun with her wealthy lover?”

The entire conference hall broke out in whispers.

”I'm curious, Miss Song, I heard the man asked you how much you charge. So, how much did you charge him for your visits?”

Avaleigh looked around with embarrassment as everyone looked at her with disgust. How did things turn out like this?

Meanwhile, Mimi leaned back in her chair and held back her smile. Since Avaleigh liked being the center of attention, she could have all the attention she wanted.
