Fated reborn - Chapter 190: Chapter 190

Luciano's POV.
"Nothing, just the news I read," he said. I was trying to hold my curiosity, but instead it got the best of me.
"What's up with the news?" I asked. Victor raised his gaze from his phone to me.
"It's about John; he really took good pictures... So I wanted to ask if you hired him to take the pictures. He asked, but I immediately shrugged.
"No, why would I hire a paparazzo guy... I was just doing him a favor," I said. Victor nodded.
"Well, that favor had made this guy viral, and he is now the talk of the internet," he said. I smiled; I was so happy I could solve his problems.
"Good," I said.
"And guess what? He's giving you all the credit. He is live right now," Victor said and turned his phone screen to me.
"I shouldn't have done this without Alpha Luciano... My pack leader, he's really influenced my life positively... I want to give all the thanks to him and the moon goddess for giving us such a wonderful leader," John said.
A smile formed on my face.
"But get ready for a great swarm of paparazzi to be here anytime soon," Victor said.
I chuckled and shook my head. "Great, just what I need: more paparazzi."
Victor grinned. "Yeah, you're going to be a celebrity now."
I rolled my eyes. "I am a celebrity; did you forget I'm the Alpha of this pack? Everyone knows me," I said.
"I don't think everyone actually," Victor said.
"I don't care, but being with the paparazzi will make me more popular."
Victor laughed, "Hey, at least you're getting some good publicity out of it."
I shrugged. "I guess you're right."
Just then my phone buzzed. I pulled it out and looked at the screen. "It's Clara," I said.
Victor raised an eyebrow. "What's up with her? Why is she calling when she's just steps away?"
I shrugged and answered the phone. "Hey Clara, what's the problem? Have you arranged the schedule?" I asked, trying to sound professional.
"No, Alpha Luciano, I just saw John's interview, and I have to say I'm really impressed," she said.
I smiled. "Yeah, he's a good guy."
"Yeah, not like Henry," she said with sarcasm in her tone.
"He really seems to be, and I have to say I'm a little surprised you didn't tell me about him that much. You only said he's here to take pictures," she said.
I chuckled, "Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't think it was a big deal."
"Well, it's definitely a big deal now." She said, "Anyway, I just wanted to call and congratulate you on the good publicity."
"Thanks, Clara," I said.
"no problem, Alpha Luciano," she said. "Oh, and one more thing."
"What's that?" I asked.
"I think we should have a press conference to address the paparazzi and the public," she said.
I raised an eyebrow. "A press conference?"
"Yeah, it'll be a good way to control the narrative and answer any questions the public might have," she said.
I thought about it for a moment. "Okay, that's not a bad idea."
"Great! I'll start making arrangements," she said.
"Sounds good," I said.
"Okay, Alpha Luciano, I'll talk to you later," she said.
"Later, Clara," I said and hung up the phone.
Victor looked at me. "What's up?"
"Clara thinks we should have a press conference to address the paparazzi and the public," I said.
Victor raised an eyebrow. "a press conference?!" He asked, surprised.
"Yeah, she thinks it'll be a good way to control the narrative and answer any questions the public might have," I said.
Victor thought about it for a moment. "Yeah, that's not a bad idea; at least you'll have time to elaborate more on how you guys met, 'cause I actually want to know that part," Victor said.
"I know... Okay," I said.
"When's the press conference?" Victor asked
"Clara's going to start making arrangements," I said.
"Okay," Victor said.
We sat there in silence for a moment.
Then Victor spoke up. "Hey Luciano."
"What's it? I'm literally trying to focus on something," I said.
"Okay? But don't you think Henry's going to try and sabotage the press conference?" Victor asked.
I frowned. "I don't know, but we should definitely be prepared for anything, and perhaps he's broke and useless now; he can't do shit."
"Yeah, that's true," Victor said, nodding continuously.
I continued signing the paperwork; soon I was done. I just finished signing the last one.
"Ahh, I'm done," I said and stood up from my chair; I could feel cramps. I cracked my fingers, my waist, and my neck, then I straightened my suit.
"Victor, let's go," I said. Victor stood up.
"What about the paparazzi?" He asked,
"Did you forget we are going to have a press conference so we'll be able to answer questions in a more comfortable and convenient way?" I said. Victor nodded.
"Yeah, that's true. Let's go," he said. He stood up from the sofa and straightened his suit. I raised my hand to my face; the time was 2, and I smiled seeing that we still had some time to go shopping.
We left the office, and I locked it. As we were about to pass Clara's room, we stopped at her office door.
"We're already going," I said; she straightened her glasses and shifted her gaze from her desk to me.
"Ok, Alpha Luciano, I still have some work left to do," she said. I smiled. "Ok, good night."
"Don't worry; your safety is ensured," Victor said with a reassuring smile on his face.
We reached for the elevator and entered into the elevator.
We reached the first floor, and we walked out of the building. We walked towards the parking lot and entered the car.
"Now time for shopping," I said with a smile on my face as I turned on the engine and drove off.
I drove to my favorite boutique, the one where I normally buy my clothes from.
We drive through the highway. The boutique was still miles away.
