Lies
The Intelligent Kingdom

What is in the article that is circulating is a photo of the romance of Raya and Reagan that should not appear now. That is, the images are not promotional needs as Raya and the music video production team have agreed. He did a photo with Reagan. But only limited to ordinary photos is not a friendly photo that displays where the lips Raya stuck with Reagan's lips. How could that happen in the process of filming? Never mind a kiss, a hug scene is very rare. Counted only three times. Raya is so memorized because she must be able to make sure everything is fine before Karan finds out. Raya may not have a problem with their intimacy in the music video, but Karan will definitely not accept it.

The problem now was, if Raya never felt like she was kissing Reagan, how could the photo exist? One of the biggest guesses is that the photo is not original alias the edits of several individuals for their personal needs which of course will harm the Kingdom. The scandal became public consumption all day. Contracts with some brands threatened to be canceled, even worse. It is likely that Raya will not be a judge in the event of Princess Beauty Indonesia this year. Things he's been craving all this time.

“How can I spread my photos? That scene doesn't exist at all. You feel that way too, don't you?” chirps Raya asked Reagan. Over the course of the two agencies, both the agency Raya and the agency Reagan fight to remove the photos circulating. Because it's not just one photo. There are at least three photos that until the next day have appeared in several social media headlines.

“I don't know either, Raya. It's a big loss for me,” complained Reagan. At first, Raya thought it was Reagan. A kind of promotion through negative issues as used by most artists today where they rely more on scandal than achievement. Well that's not entirely wrong. Raya has also done something like that. He used his relationship with some rich men just to cause a sensation that quickly or slowly boost the popularity of the Kingdom. However, Raya does not only rely on her love scandal, she is indeed a model that has been recognized by the world.

Unfortunately, Reagan would not have been able to do that. What good is that guy making a scandal with Raya? Instead of profit, Reagan actually got a very big loss. The man had already invested a lot in the music video. He hopes a lot for his work. Imagine, Reagan is the main male model in the music video and this is his first shoot after the scandal that broke out a moment ago. Reagan was also the producer who financed the project. If it fails, especially getting negative attention from the public, let alone profit, music videos that they have recorded for days are threatened to fail to be released.

“True, loss!” Raya saw his watch. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, but the reporters surrounded him in front of Reagan's agency office. Wrong strategy though. He thought that after a day, the reporters would focus on surrounding the Raya agency building and Reagan's house. It was unexpected that they would find out where the agency's office was even though Reagan had just moved there. Only a few people know about this risk. “So, what should we do? Journalists cannot be stopped. They will keep gossiping about us.”

Raya nodded in agreement. Retreating or dodging will only cloud the atmosphere. Their faults become the months of the news hunters until the next few weeks. This week, there are no bigger cases than this. The reason, not only photos of the intimacy of a hot celebrity couple, but the public immediately denounced Raya as a traitor. The woman is married to Karan. The husband looks so good in their eyes, the type of dream husband that many Indonesian women want to marry. But Raya, after being betrayed by her former fiancee to the point of canceling the marriage, is rescued by Karan and redacted by the wealthy man. What luck would Raya have until she betrayed her own husband? Of course it's impossible. Raya is an insincere woman, but that doesn't mean she's a traitor.

“You're right. Escape is not the right thing to do. After all, they already know where you live. And Raya was also the wife of a wealthy businessman. Husband Raya must also be affected,” said Reagan agency owner and former manager first, the person who discovered Reagan's talent and supported the model throughout a career in the modeling world.

Reagan grunts. “So, do you have any ideas? How to make everything clean without causing a new scandal? Clarification is also not appropriate.” The man slammed his ass on the couch. “Damn it! I have invested a lot of money in this music video. The band will also be a big loss. I'm really upset!” he complained while ruffling his hair to vent the irritation entrenched in his heart.

“Wait, let me think for a minute.” The agency director frowned while forcing his little brain to work hard. If you don't come up with an idea quickly, then things will get worse. The agency he just built and Reagan's newly recovered image would simply crumble. Just like Reagan who has spent a lot of money, the director has also given his money and energy to this new business.

Reagan was shocked after hearing the absurd proposal that Raya conveyed. “Have you been so bad, Raya? How could you even add to the heat of that already burning scandal?”

“Quiet first, Reagan. Listen to what I want to say.” Raya walked across from Reagan and sat down on the sofa that was there. Then he continued his words. “I mean this way, we just start making teasers of the video clips one by one. So, we do not need to clarify and just assume the photos circulating are part of the promotion. That way the gossip will immediately stop by itself.”

The reporters of the entertainment world were not interested in the work of an artist. That's what Raya learned all along. That is, if an artist has more achievements and works, then he will be more rarely covered by the media. Using that premise, Raya wanted it to be as if making the photos were indeed deliberately distributed by the production team as part of their new music video ad. So that the reporters will feel deceived by the picture.

“You are right, Kingdom! That's a brilliant idea. Although initially we do not want to create a sensation, why do not we just make the gossip as a sensation? Anyway, we're desperate. There is no choice but to turn everything into the ready. You are so smart!” praise the director.

Raya smiled while humbling. “I'm not that smart, sir. Just happened to show up in my head.”

The director continued, “Do you have no intention of joining my company? I'll give you an amazing offer.”

“Thank you Sir. But I can't leave my current agency. Reagan was gone, and the agency was just orbiting young stars who had just appeared on television. I can't leave the agency with such a situation.”

“Oh gosh! You are not only smart, but also loyal. Your husband would be proud to have a wife like you.”

Shocked not playing. Right, husband. Raya must immediately contact Karan so that the man does not feel worried about the rumors circulating. It would be bad if Karan read the gossip without knowing the truth. That man will be very angry at Raya.
