Tanner Entertainment

In the lobby of the luxurious Tanner Group building, Andy Tanner got out from his sports car. He hides his two panda-like eyes with his classic ray ban. Last night Andy hardly slept. He felt stressed.

He walked quickly towards the elevator without paying attention to the people around him. As he approached the elevator, he saw the security guards lowering their heads when they saw him. He just walked past them without saying anything.

He was known as notoriously arrogant by everyone in the Tanner Group. As the sole heir, the future president of this company, he felt there was no need to maintain good manners or be humble with the employees or everyone else in this building.

Tanner family is itself a respectable family. It is number seven among the wealthiest families in country X. Tanner's primary business is in the entertainment field. They are the third best entertainment company in the country.

Their businesses include entertainment agencies, Movie production, Music production, clubs, and everything else related to the entertainment fields, including a television network.

Andy Tanner walks to his mother's Office, Vivian Tanner, C.E.O. of Tanner Entertainment Agency. He entered without even knocking on the door. "Mommy...!" He shouted, then walked in and headed to the large glass window overlooking the Lotus River.

Vivian, who was sitting behind her huge desk, glanced at the door. She saw her son looking gloomy. She ignored him and continued her work.

He stood still while occasionally massaging his forehead. His heart was full of anger. Someone has deliberately ruined his reputation by spreading a photo of him erotically kissing a sexy and almost naked woman in front of an exclusive club.

Since his debut as an actor, he has always maintained this clean slate attitude in public. He has never been seen by many to have a close relationship or go to any clubs with women. Even if he goes to a cafe or restaurant with a woman, he always makes sure he also takes his manager or assistant. His image as a very polite rookie actor and a good man is now in ruin by the photos circulating on the internet and media since last night.

Spontaneously, both his fans and haters are storming his social media. Many fans asked him to clarify immediately. Haters have mocked him worst than usual.

And what's worse, someone spread his cell phone number. He couldn't use his cell phone since last night. Every time he turns his phone on, it is immediately frozen. The battery runs out instantly because he keeps getting calls, short messages, and notifications from all his social media. It makes him even more annoyed.

He had asked the company IT to take the photos down, but they cannot do so. The Picture remains on the Xfile's portal, and many haters keep repost it.

Public Relations asked him to calm down and not to clarify anything. His PR told him to wait until today. The PR will make an official statement.

Now, he is getting restless because his social media followers have decreased drastically, fans have started to unfollow him.

Andy, still standing rooted to his spot while clenching his fist. After a while, he was then starting pacing back and forth in the room. He curses his unfaithful fans and also condemned the perpetrator who had spread his photo.

Seeing her only son pacing back and forth in front of her, Vivian couldn't bear to rebuke him. "Son! Stop it. I have a lot of work to do here, and having you back and forth around the room doesn't help me do my work."

Andy stopped walking.

He turned to look at the large work desk on the other side of the room. "Mom, who has the gut to harass me? Don't they know who I am? I have to find the person behind this. Whoever is he, I will take revenge by destroying his reputation. I will make that person have no place to live in J city! " His voice filled with anger.

Vivian looked at Andy sharply. "Stop behaving like a child, Andy," Vivian said firmly. "This is because I pampered you too much, make you immature like this." Her voice sounded disappointed.

Andy was helpless.

He threw himself on the sofa in the middle of the room; he lowered his head. With his two big hands, he squeezed her hair tightly. "So what should I do? Tell me, Mom" His voice sounds in despair.

Vivian looked at him. "Son, you are too rash. You have to change your attitude! I have warned you many times, but you never listen."

It is not the first time her only son has caused trouble. However, this time, the case was exposed, and for some reason, she couldn't stop the news from spreading even though she has tried everything she could.

"Mom... I know I was wrong. But, can you immediately ask PR to clarify? And, what clarifications will they publish? Why is no one asking me?" He is confused; the company did not ask him anything. Even though his face wasn't apparent in the photo, he knows for sure it was him.

She took off her glasses and walked gracefully to the sofa sitting next to Andy "Son, you need to be quiet. Don't make any statements. The company suffered heavy losses due to this scandal."

A moment later,

Vivian calls someone. After she finished talking on the phone, she looked back at Andy. "Now you go home. Stay at home this entire month. Make sure you don't go anywhere. Just stay at home. Consider this as your punishment for your indecent act in public!"

He was shocked.

Whenever he causes trouble, his mother never punishes him before. She loves him too much to punish him. She could not bear punishing him. Andy knows his mother's nature.

But this time is different, and he was shocked. He could not believe what he hears.

"M-mommy... how could you!?"

Vivian saw her son's eyes turn red, her heart waver. But she couldn't indulge him anymore. "Son, this is the last time I will help you. If a scandal like this happens again, I will cancel your employment contract. Your career as a public figure will end, and I will send you to work at a Tanner Group's branch!"

Andy was speechless, he wanted to vent his frustration, but he realized it was impossible to do that in front of his mother.

"Son, don't hate your mom. I do this for your future. Don't let your problems make your father even more indifferent to you. You know the consequences if that happens, right?"

Andy's face turned pale; his mind suddenly felt blank. "I understand, mom."

"Now go home. Try spending more time with your grandfather."

Andy stood up from his chair and dragged his heavy legs.
