Chapter 27: Video Call

I can't help but feel sad. For the first time in three years, I will sleep alone in a huge bed. Sigh.

Why is the company demanding so much of Mew's time? I am the husband! I should be the one demanding for his time and not some goddamn company!

Mew has already left for the airport earlier and I'm sure that they already took off and I know that there is no internet connection from above. I want to call him and talk to him, but sadly, it's impossible.

The following day, I woke up at almost lunch time. I am pretty sure that Kuya Dominic will be fuming mad if he finds out that I slept late last night because of my dark circles and eyebags.

I have no project for today so I decided to visit the gym of the building and do some workout. I somehow want to be in shape because everytime I am with Mew, I look like some twink because of his ripped body. He's got a dad bod. While I still look like some teenager.

Maybe I should at least try to get a plumpier ass? 😜 He likes my ass a lot but I don't want him to grow tired of it. 😂

I wore a dri-fit shirt and put on my Nike shorts. I paired it with the shoes that Mew recently gave me that I almost hyperventilated when I found out the price of the item. It was almost 20,000 dollars! 20,000 dollars for a pair of gym shoes? What the hell?

It has lights all over the place and the quality of the materials used explains the price.

I'm having second thoughts about wearing it because of the price but it would be a shame if it's not put to use. It's better than let it rot in the drawers.

When I arrived at the gym, I noticed that a lot of people were staring at me. Maybe because of the shoes? I'm not sure.

But why are they not looking at my feet? Hmm.

Before I could even start using the bench press machine, my phone rang. It was Kuya Dominic calling.

"Yes?" I asked when I answered the call.

"What the hell, Gulf? You are so horny!" he laughed so hard. "What is this picture circulating online that people are claiming that it is you? A picture of you and someone fucking at the poolside of your condo building! HAHAHAHA! Please tell me that this is not you!"

"For real? What the hell?" My face heated after every word he just said sinked in.

"So this is you?" he chuckled. "Omg! You bitch. If this happened before, I would be really furious because this will be bad for your image. Luckily, you will be off the hook because you're quitting modeling. I guess this won't be a problem. But is this your husband or Hughie? With so many boys who want to have you, I already feel confused."

"Mierda! Of course that's Mew!" I defended myself. "Anyway, is it clear that it's me in the picture? Can you send me a copy Kuya?"

My gosh, Mew! I told him that we should not do it outside.

"Okay. I just sent you a copy. It's not really obvious that it's you. Your fans are debating about it. And someone is really claiming that it's you. But don't stress yourself too much. I'm sure this issue will pass."

"Gracias, Kuya. See you tomorrow."

"Si. Si."

The call ended. Maybe that's the reason why many people are staring at me? Because of the picture? But do these people know me anyway?

When I opened the picture that Kuya Dominic sent, I noticed that it wasn't really obvious that it was me. It was dark and it only looked like my silhouette. But you can really see that Mew is lifting me up. Mew is facing the wall so you can't see his face.
