Agnes could feel her blood pressure go up. Kotetsu was supposed to make a brief appearance at the end of the season to create anticipation for the new season. The glimpse of him in the second league was supposed to be a teaser trailer for things to come on the coming New Year.
What had actually happened was Barnaby and Kotetsu reuniting as partners while there were no cameras rolling.
The images of the two of them together in that car dealership had sprung up immediately. Even a short clip of the two of them bickering had surfaced on the fan sites.
Agnes's plans had all been dashed and how? Who had allowed Barnaby to go to Kotetsu? Someone was going to pay for her loss of ratings; someone was going to lose their job over foiling her perfectly laid plans.
But for now there was nothing she could do. The Gala for the season end would be in full swing soon and the announcement that Sky High had once more retrieved his crown as King of Heroes would be announced. Blue Rose would receive praise for coming in second with only 500 points less than the King. Kotetsu and Barnaby would have to be prepped for any interviews before they could be in front of the media and they didn't have time to do that before the Gala so both of them would have to lay low until afterwards.
This was a shit show and she needed to start repairing the situation as soon as possible. The first step would be to find out how Barnaby was able to access his suit, she suspected she knew the culprit, and reprimand them within their life. The second step would be to track the two idiots down and start media prepping them.
She pressed a perfectly manicured finger onto her intercom button. "Is Saitou still in the building?" She asked.
"No ma'am, he left for the Gala already I believe," came the tinny response.
So hell would have to be dealt out tomorrow as well. No matter, she would just have to field this battle today, win the war tomorrow. Pulling a pocket mirror out she checked her makeup over, reapplied her lipstick, threw the mirror into her purse, stood and walked out of her office.
Time to take care of business.
