"I'm still thinking."
Gwenda signalled for Hattie to get Cecilia a glass of water as she comforted her. "Don't panic. This incident is still fresh, I will find a way to deal with it."
"I believe in you."
In the past few months, Cecilia had witnessed much of Gwenda's ability to overturn bad situations. So, she knew that her boss would find a solution to the current problem.
A moment later, Hattie returned with a glass of water for Cecilia and a cup of rose tea for Gwenda.
"Now, the biggest issue is to find out if the person who threw the paint is a fan of yours. If he is, then the only thing you can do is make a formal apology. But if not, we have to figure out who he is and issue an announcement to set the record straight."
Gwenda's analysis was clear-cut.
Cecilia said, "I'm willing to bet that he's not my fan. He's most likely a hater."
"Doesn't matter if he is or isn't, we need to investigate him."
After saying that, Gwenda looked up at Hattie and instructed, "Contact the president of the fan club and tell her to begin investigating immediately."
"Got it."
Hattie complied and left.
Gwenda rose from her chair and said, "Cecilia, you may have to go to the hospital with me."
They had to find out more about the situation, as well as pay Lina a token visit.
...
"No problem."
"Let's go."
They left the studio together.
Along the way, they discussed many plans.
After arriving at the hospital, Gwenda parked the car.
She saw a large group of paparazzi at the entrance of the hospital.
"We have to let these reporters know that we are here. You must be prepared for when we head in later."
This was also Gwenda's first time to handle a situation like this, but she was exceptionally calm about it.
With Gwenda backing her, Cecilia felt more confident than usual, and she asked, "Then, should I answer any questions later?"
"No, you just need to attract their attention, then make your way into the hospital!"
"Okay."
They wrapped up the discussion.
Then, Gwenda put on a pair of sunglasses and her cap before getting out of the car with Cecilia.
Seeing this, Gwenda immediately said to her, "Don't answer. Keep going!"
With that, she led Cecilia into the hospital.
The paparazzi were prevented from following after them. After the noise faded away, Gwenda stopped and looked back.
"Were you going to answer their questions earlier?"
Gwenda's eyes were a little dark.
Cecilia frowned. "I was just angry at the rubbish that they were spewing."
"Cecilia Kelly, are you debuting for the first day? Don't you know that the more you try to defend yourself, the worse it gets? Did you just ignore everything I said earlier?"
Gwenda's voice was cold and hard.
Cecilia lowered her gaze.
Seeing this, Gwenda sighed with resignation. "Never mind, they were indeed out of line. The fault is not completely yours. But please do not speak without my signal when we get to the ward later."
Cecilia finally realised the gravity of the situation and nodded. "Okay, I understand."
"Let's head up."
Gwenda and Cecilia made their way to Lina's ward.
