The reporter had hit on Jacob"s weakest point, Hanna! He had been ruthlessly dumped by Hanna and he still needed to come to terms with this fact. He did not know, what to say this time, since he had not expected to be questioned about Hanna.
Suddenly, Jacob"s phone vibrated in his hand and he quickly opened the screen, where his chat with Isa was already open. There was a picture of a famous super-star and Jacob understood what Isa was telling him.
Jacob looked at the lady and smiled. "Sorry! I got distracted by the phone. Ah! So you say I have been dumped? Well, it is my dream to date her, and I don"t mind being dumped by her either!"
"So you are saying all her claims are true?" The reporter asked in surprise.
Everybody was stunned at Jacob"s reply. Did he cheat on her? He is also admitting it in public?
"Haha! If Miley says so! I would love to agree to it!" Jacob chuckled happily, like a love struck teenager.
"Miley? Who?" The reporter frowned in confusion.
"Miley! Miley Cyrus! Arn"t you talking about Hanna Montanna?!" Jacob frowned as if actually confused.
"Oh!! No..no..no! I am talking about Hanna Sandrous! The newbie, who is pretty famous and is getting married soon!" The reporter clarified with an awkward smile. She had started to doubt the validity of her own question.
"Oh! Umm! Sorry but who?" Jacob pursed his lips, as if feeling embarrased, of having no knowledge about the girl the reporter just mentioned. Jacob then purposely, gave an embarrased smile and whispered loudly in the ears of the manager of his public affairs. "This is so embarrasing! I don"t even know who the girl is! Tell me, fast who it is!"
"Sir never mind! She is not important. Just an actress." The manager replied, a.s.suringly.
Jacob"s words created a buzz amongst the reporters. They all were amazed to know, that Jacob was secretly asking about the ident.i.ty of the girl, whereas, the girl claims to be in a relations.h.i.+p with him. "He does not even know who she is!"
"Yes! I heard their conversation too!"
"Do you think, the girl claimed to be her ex-girlfriend for publicity?"
"Offcourse! Who doesn"t like free publicity! People get famous at somebody"s else"s expense these days!"
Jacob turned his head graciously towards the reporter, he was about to answer when the reporter herself interveened.
"It is ok Mr. Jacob! We understand you don"t have time to follow hollywood. It is totally understandable! Sorry for the wrong question!" The reporter smiled admiringly. She liked the way Jacob was still trying to answer her question out of basic manners, inspite of not knowing anything about the girl.
