The interview ended and they shook hands with Jim while the crew took down the camera equipment. After everyone was ushered out. Michael turned to Greta. "We need damage control immediately. I will not have some jerk spreading these kinds of things about Lisa. Find that bastard and have the lawyers on him. I want a public apology, no one is going to make her feel bad." Michael was upset.
"Michael, I am sorry. I don't want this to reflect badly on you. I know how important it is in your line of work to keep a certain reputation, and I don't want to mess things up for you." Lisa said, realizing that the bad publicity could ruin his sells.
"Lisa, It is not going to hurt me at all. I can't stand for that drunk to think he is going to extort money from you and try to ruin your reputation. I love you, and I will not stand by and watch someone hurt you." Michael told her.
Lisa felt pride in the fact that Michael wanted to protect her. Still, she didn't want to hurt his career. "Michael, I don't care about my feelings. It doesn't bother me. But, you on the other hand, have so much to lose. I can not be responsible for that."
Michael laughed. "Really, sweetheart, do you think that having it said that the woman I am marrying is bi-sexual is going to hurt my career? It would probably help. The guys would be buying more, thinking if they were like me, they would be able to get a hot women like you who also liked women. The women would be trying to get with both of us. Trust me, I wouldn't lose a penny. It probably would help sales."
"Oh you, you are so good to me." Lisa said. Her cell phone rang. "It's Ben." Lisa said answering the phone and putting it on speaker. "Hello"
"Did you hear the latest? Is rocker boy ready to get rid of you now?" Ben's voice came over the line. "I will take you back. Of course we will have to change the pre-nup of course, but we can pick up right where we left off. I can do worse."
"Ben, you are not scaring me, Michael thought it was funny, and so did his lawyers. As we speak, they are drawing up defamation papers. I have to sign off on them, but I don't mind. They are saying we can sue for at one million because of the way you released the information. I think we could probably get your house and the car, but then you would still owe me. You know how these high priced lawyers are, they would then sue you for their fees, which could get very expensive."
