The afternoon sun cast a warm glow through the windows of the CEO's office as Joshua and Scoups entered, their expressions a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

The CEO, seated behind his desk, greeted them with a nod before getting straight to the point.

"Joshua, Scoups, I'm sure you're aware of the recent rumors circulating about Joshua's dating life," the CEO began, his tone measured yet authoritative.

"Yes, we've heard about it," Joshua replied, his voice tinged with unease.

The CEO leaned forward, his expression serious. "These rumors have the potential to impact the group's image and reputation. As such, I need to ask both of you to be discreet and refrain from any public displays of affection until we can address this matter properly."

Scoups nodded in understanding, his demeanor composed. "Understood. We'll be sure to keep a low profile and avoid any further speculation."

Joshua nodded in agreement, though a flicker of disappointment flashed across his face. The idea of having to keep his personal life under wraps felt stifling, especially in light of the kiss he shared with Yumi.

"I understand that this may be difficult, but it's essential to protect the group's image. We'll work on addressing the rumors and ensuring that they don't escalate any further."

Joshua and Scoups exchanged a knowing glance, a silent acknowledgment of the weight of the situation.

As they left the CEO's office, Joshua couldn't shake the sense of frustration and the idea of being away from Yumi.
