Tyler walked inside the office leisurely and sat on the sofa as if it were just his house. "Now, why did you call me? I was going to sleep."
Among the three male leads, Tyler's senior narrowed his eyes for a moment and glanced at Tyler's shoulders that suddenly went from tense to relaxed as soon as the latter looked at Alex and him for a little longer. At this, the senior furrowed his brows. Did Tyler figure it out already?
The senior's heart thudded against his chest. If that was the case…
Then it wouldn't be wrong to expose himself. In any case, Tyler had already figured it out. What was the point of pretending now? Thinking about this, he forced himself to suppress the goofy grin that was about to make his face look completely opposite to his character in this world but held back and sat on the couch with others.
Tyler's mouth twitched at the obvious sparkle in his senior's eyes and ignored him.
"What did you want to say?" Just then, Ben, who had been here for a long time already, couldn't help but blurt out. He wanted to know why Jimmy had called everyone here for some reason.
Jimmy, who was the culprit of Ben's impatience, didn't even spare a glance at Ben and turned to Tyler, showing off his phone screen coldly. "Is this you?"
Tyler glanced at the screen that showed a pic of how Thomas and he were enjoying the snacks at the coffee shop near his home. "Yeah, so what?"
Other male leads sitting beside Jimmy were surprised. They glanced at the picture and said, "You're dating someone?!"
Tyler didn't say a word. He had found out about his senior already, and the arcs were going perfectly well. So he didn't need to care about anything now. He just wanted to wait and see for how long his lover would keep hiding from him like this. He narrowed his eyes and glared at his senior.
Jimmy sighed and said, "I wish I knew. But you are already online, and everyone is blackening Thomas." Then he glanced at Tyler. "What do you want to do?"
Since his senior wanted to follow the arcs perfectly this time, he wouldn't stop him either. "Buy ghostwriters and deal with those people who were blackening Thomas."
At this time, Jimmy told them about what was actually happening. Apparently, the rumor circulated online an hour ago about how Thomas was forcing Tyler and stalking the poor actor so much that Quinn didn't have any choice but to agree to a lunch date. And people online were so angry at Thomas that they were scolding him relentlessly. At the same time, they were also showing sympathy for Quinn, making this actor even more famous than he actually was!
All of the people inside the office knew who did this kind of thing. It had to be Jax! These male leads were already on their guard and were waiting for the other side to take a step. But everyone had surprised expressions on their face. They really weren't focused on the rumor. Instead, they wanted to know how did even Quinn started dating someone?! Was this person really serious?!
"Are you serious?" Ben exclaimed in surprise.
At the same time, both Alex and Jimmy had different reactions.
One said with a dark face, "I'll kill that b*stard!"
While another one sighed nodded. "I want to kill him myself."
Tyler looked at the expressions of these people coldly and ignored all three of them. In his heart, he sneered. Keep pretending. Let's see how long you want to hide!
After a while, all the male leads finally settled down and accepted the fact that Tyler was dating Thomas. Of course, the sneakiest of them all was Tyler's lover, who had already purchased that stupid judge beforehand and knew that they weren't dating. So he was relaxed and even gave Tyler a wink when no one was looking.
The latter tactically ignored this and said, "I don't think you all should be interested in my private life."
"I'm not." Ben shook his head.
"Let's be honest. You're an actor with a good face. Why wouldn't anyone be interested in your private life?" Alex was amused. "You don't reject your fans, but you can ignore your companions?"
"You're my actor. I have the authority to know about your private life." Jimmy said coldly, folding his hands against his chest.
Tyler, who heard all of these words from three male leads simultaneously, got a headache and thought he should just go back and sleep. It was getting late anyway. "If you want, all of you can stay here, but I'm going back."
Before anyone could stop him, he sprinted out of the office without looking back. After he walked out of the building, his assistant was already sitting on the driving seat as if he was already aware of when Tyler was going to arrive.
When he was gone, the meeting room was silent, and it was decided that they would deal with the online rumor. Of course, Tyler's senior had a hand in that, and he convinced the other two male leads to go against Jax. And after dealing with everything, he thought it was finally time to confront his lover.
After all, he had recognized him anyway. So it wouldn't matter if he would just suddenly show up at Tyler's home.
The latter had no idea that his senior had decided to give him a pleasant surprise. He was simply massaging his forehead, lying against his seat. After a while, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until he went home.
After walking toward the front door of his home, he opened the door to his apartment. Just as he was about to step inside, someone gripped his hand and dragged him inside. He had opened his mouth to complain, but before that, someone closed the door and pushed Tyler at the door, placing his mouth on the other man's lips.
Tyler was only shocked for a moment before he realized what had happened. But what else could he do? He had already waited for this person for a hundred years. And now, after getting a taste of a real sweet dish, how could he have the heart to spit it out? Although he wanted to talk with him, he couldn't even find himself giving the male lead a gentle push.
In fact, he was so emotional that the rims of his eyes turned red as his hand reached his senior's neck, and another tugged the other man's hair, pulling him closer.
