Chapter 1 Unfortunate incident

Sloane leans back in her white leather chair, perfectly poised, her red nails drumming against the desk. Everyone held their breath, as they watched her, I included, she was a scary woman, in her mid-forties, strict, and also impolite.

“We need a new handler for The Phantom. Immediately.” she declared and I clenched my fist as I held myself back, the Plantom, everyone knew him.

He was a VoxSphere PR Management A-list client, being the world's top wrestler, in the world fetches this company millions a year.

But i hated him, i couldn't stand the sight of him, even though he did not know of my existence, he was the reason, my family is in ruin.

The whole room was silent, everyone knew what this meant, ‘The phantom was trouble and no one wanted him , everyone knew how his last crisis PR handler, which was my father, ended

Just as his name implies, the man was a fucken mystery, no one knows anything about him, or have seen his face for years, that was how he got the name ‘The Phantom’.

“I'm asking for volunteers not a fucken silence in this room, this situation is messy, if we don't fix it, then we can kiss the Phantom goodbye, if we lose him, this company is gone, and you know what that means!"Sloane spat, everyone froze, we knew she was right.

“The phantom is an A-list client, the biggest client we had. If we can't handle him , we may end up losing other clients, which would be a bad thing, our reputation is at stake here” Sloane spat, but no one moved an inch, as everyone kept their face down.

Everyone was scared to take the job, but I didn't have to worry about this. I was only an intern, I had never been to the field before so I didn't have to worry, nor was I qualified to be a field agent so I had nothing to worry about. 

“Miss Brown”I heard my name, from Sloane lips,and I stood to my feet facing her, her piercing eyes met mine, though I was confused on what she called me for.

“Yes ma’am”I answered.

“Your the only one i would recommend for this job”she said and my eyes widened as a chill ran down my spine, what the fuck was she talking about, i looked at her with wide eyes, fear taking over me.

“What?”i asked her, maybe I didn’t hear her the very first time.

“Your father is the only man that has managed ‘The phantom, ' for ten years of his career. Thinking about it, you may have helped him a few times, I'm giving you a chance,I mean a chance. You fix this, you earn your place here. Fail..? And you're just another intern with a famous last name" she said, I knew what she was doing, and I didn't fail to pick the threat in her words.

She had no one else to give this job to, no one here had a thing to lose she knew that, so she picked me, someone who had everything to lose.

“I’m sorry, i would have to turn down your offer, i can’t handle a man, who mistreated my father more times then i could count and is one of the reason he was in the hospital”i said though trying to control the tone of my voice not to reflect the rage i felt, from her words.

My father had Pancreatic Cancer, which was often associated with chronic stress. I watched my father for ten years, managing this chaotic man, how he ran up and down, and suffered so much embarrassment and insult.

“This wasn't an offer, it was an order, Mr Wolfe is our highest-profile client. He’s losing sponsors by the hour. The video is already at 7 million views. We need the world to love him again, or at least believe he’s not a monster.”,”Sloane stated and a chill ran down my spine. I knew what this job meant to my family, I couldn't quit or off.

Sloane knew that, that was why she was doing this, giving this risky job to me, when she knew so well, might fail.

 “This company has managed the Wolfe family for thirty years, my father managed the legend and now we must continue to manage his son, this contract cannot fail, it must not.”she added as she slide the file forward to me,i stood there as i glared at the file.

This job was all i had, and to add to that, my father had secured me an internship here , two month ago, without this job, i was done for, the insurance from this job was the one which paid my father's hospital bills, and to add to that, I had a brother with a disability, we needed this job.

But I couldn't , I couldn't face that man,there was no where I could look into his eyes, after all the evil he did to us.

“He’s the reason my father’s dying.” I stated firmly again, as I clenched my fist, now I knew why she had wanted me to be here, she had intended to give me the job from the beginning even though she knew I wasn't qualified for it.

“Then fix this, clear off this scandal, if you fail consider yourself and your father done for here, that's the end, anymore objection from you, then your fired ”she threatened me, i was crying at this point as large tears slipped out of my eyes, but she did not care, soon as she was done, she stood to her feet.

 How could she be so heartless? My father earned that health insurance for working for twenty-seven years here, she had no right to threaten us this way.

Then she paused and looked at me.

“And one more thing, make sure to catch up with him after the wrestling match today. To introduce yourself, I want this scandal cleared out in a week,”she said, and walked out with her assistant. My colleagues all looked at me with pity.
