25 My Second Husband

**Flash Flash Flash**

“EROS please look this way. Perfect...”

“Just relax your upper body a bit...look into the camera...that’s it...give us a sexy look,”

“Glance over there. Yup...ok. A couple more full body shots with some accessories over here and we can probably call it a day,”

I stood to the side in a navy suit and a matching skirt as I watched EROS work on the last job on his busy schedule for today. From early in the morning until now, EROS had been working on various jobs. Starting from an interview for a magazine early in the morning. Followed by a commercial shoot that ran from late morning to early afternoon with only a short lunch break in between. Another interview recording late in the afternoon.

Without a break for dinner, we had to drive all this way to this studio for him to do a fashion photoshoot for one of the leading brands that had decided to feature their products in the album cover and bonus booklet that would accompany the launch of his new music album that was expected to launch at the end of the month.

I glanced at the cock on the wall which showed that it was already close to midnight. Once again, I wondered how many hours of sleep EROS would be getting tonight. I wouldn’t be with him tomorrow since I had to take care of another client and that made me quite worried about him. Although he would probably just snap at me if I told him that.

My eyes returned to the sizzling hot man posing in front of the camera, his piercing golden eyes reminded me of the wild lions running in the yellow grass field of the savanna and so did his glossy mid length blond hair and his matching long blond eyelashes.

“He’s so hot...”

.....

“I can’t believe I’m seeing him in person...”

“EROS is the best...”

“I love his songs...”

“His new movie is great too...”

Endless whispers of praise from the staff that had gathered not too far from me were quite disturbing. I’ve gotten used to hearing these comments by now and just hoped that EROS couldn’t hear them. Everyone would think that he would be happy to hear people shower him with praises, but in reality, he was annoyed with anything that would distract from his work.

“Shh...” I whispered softly as I put a finger up to my lips.

The staffs turned towards me before lowering their voices. It was only for two days a week but for those two days, I was officially the manager of one of the most famous superstars on this continent: EROS, the lead singer of the band EROS Wings. Although he started off an a rockstar his career has now evolved to take on other challenges such as modelling and acting.

My eyes returned to him again and I think for a split of a second our eyes met. Perhaps I imagined it, but I think he just grinned at me. That brought a little smile to my lips. He’s so hard to manage and I don’t know why I’ve put up with him after all this time. EROS, he’s my second contract husband.

“That’s a wrap. Thank you, EROS. Thank you everyone,” the director in charge of the photoshoot called out loudly.

The lighting was switched off and the staff started reviewing the photos while the other team members started packing up. EROS, or rather Sean, which was his real name, got up from the chair that he was sitting on. He looked pointedly at me, and I quickly snapped out of my thoughts. My legs were taking me towards him even before my mind could process what I was doing.

I could tell by the look of annoyance in his eyes that he was about to reach his breaking point. Of course, no one can ever find out what the real EROS is really like. If they did, EROS will never be the same again and that will destroy the profitability of the largest entertainment companies on this continent. Since I couldn’t be held responsible for such a huge crisis, I had to get him out of here before his fa?ade cracks.

“Excuse me! Please back away...” I cried loudly as I pushed through the people that have crowded around him.

Unnecessary attention...is not...good...

“Please step back. I’m so sorry about this but EROS needs to head to his dressing room now. Please step aside!” I yelled loudly now to make myself heard over the crowd.

Before I took on this job, I never imagined that being a manager for a superstar could ever be this tough. Thankfully, there were other people in the team that helped EROS out with his work. With the help of everyone, we managed to part the crowd to create a path for EROS to walk peacefully from the shooting scene to his dressing room.

“Hang in there...please...” I whispered as I walked by his side.

EROS kept his head hung low and his eyes on the floor all the way to the dressing room. He must have looked like a very humble artist to the staff who were also his fans. In this industry where many stars developed ugly personalities after gaining fame, EROS was flawlessly humble and pure. Despite his fame, he was nice, respectful, and professional to everyone. Everyone who came into contact with him couldn’t help falling in love with his charismatic personality.

However, the truth was...

EROS and I entered his changing room and he quickly closed the door behind us and locked it. EROS’s dressing room is off-limits to all staffs unless they had permission from his regular manager, EROS or me. The main reason for that was...

I sucked in a breath and held it as I watched EROS throw the scarf that he had around his neck on the floor before he headed for the table, grabbed a bottle of water and started pouring water onto his blond hair. I had to admit that EROS dumping water onto his hair and shaking his head about was a very sexy sight to behold; however, that wasn’t the key issue here.
