Meanwhile, on the other side, Kimberly went to knock on Daniel’s door at Foster Ventures. She was on her wit’s end, and Ryan was not picking up her calls.
"Please come in," came Daniel’s voice and she pushed the door to walk in his cabin.
"Daniel," she greeted with a voice laced with concern. "I need your help."
Daniel looked up at her, and his brows drew together. "The PR team is directly under the orders of Mr. Foster. I think it would be better if you reach out to Ryan directly."
Kimberly shook her head. "I tried calling him but he wouldn’t accept the call. And I am on my wit’s end. I don’t know what to do. Daniel, please help me. We can’t delay for more."
Daniel frowned, not because he couldn’t help Kimberly, the Chief Communication Officer, but because he truly didn’t want to get involved in this mess. It was too exhaustive to even think about it. But then it was also the responsibility, he couldn’t shake away.
Gesturing her to take the seat, he asked, "What do you need my help in?"
Kimberly quickly extended out the tablet she was holding. "Here check this?" As Daniel took the tablet in his hand, she further explained, "I am not able to understand what should I do. I am all confused. Isn’t Ms. Quinn supposedly Mr. Foster’s fiancée??"
Daniel glanced at the screen, his expression growing serious for a moment before curling up in a smile. "Oh, she announced it?" he muttered to himself, but at his words, Kimberly looked puzzled.
"So, this is true, Ms. Quinn has truly married someone else?" she asked, trying to confirm. Though it was never announced officially, it was known that Arwen was going to become the favoured daughter-in-law of the Fosters.
Daniel looked at her with a smile of obviousness. "Her post is shared by TheScoop. If not real, what else are you expecting it to be," he said before shrugging in nonchalance. "Well, anyway, tell me. What’s the problem here?"
Kimberly hesitated as if she still couldn’t understand anything. On top of it, Daniel’s nonchalance wasn’t helping her a bit. She had expected him to be equally shocked as her but seeing him all so casual only meant that he knew it already.
"That post itself is a problem. I mean though it was never made official, almost everyone in the city knows that Fosters and Quinns have got a marriage arrangement. This arrangement has helped both the companies and the family over time. But now with Ms. Quinn announcing her marriage with someone, it would be getting hard to handle if the media starts prying into it. If that happens it will become a full-blown crisis. It might even give way to investors and partners to question Foster Venture’s stability over a personal matter," she said.
