It was raining inside the city too. A Cadillac, bearing Noah and Mason, rode by a dark street at high speeds. It wasn’t like a common Ford, nondescript and easy to escape during a chase. Maybe it was the strong rain, but there seemed to be no cars following them.
Mason, who was sitting in the back seat, kept receiving messages and missed calls, nonstop on his cellphone that couldn't reach him on the yacht.
“You’re quite popular.”
Noah said in a placid tone, and Mason replied while checking his messages.
“My manager worries too much.”
The calls were mostly from Tony, and the messages were mostly from Vick. [What are you doing?] [Is it an actual date?] [Do you really know any of Noah’s weaknesses?] [If that’s it…. tell me, please.] [I won’t tell anyone. I swear on my daughter.] [… Sorry. Not my daughter.] The short messages were pouring in nonstop. Amongst those were Chase’s kind messages, worried and caring, and there was also a message from their producer Gloria, asking if they can push the schedule to tomorrow.
It seems like I am not fired. Well, it's weird to get fired after having a date with the sponsor himself.
He sent a reply to Gloria that tomorrow sounded good, and Noah, who glanced at it, languidly smiled and said, “Tomorrow? Do you think you can even get to the filming set?”
“Paparazzi waiting in front of the door won’t let you pass. No, you may not even be able to get in the house.”
Noah then said that hotels won’t even accept him and asked–
“It’s okay to stay at my house. It will be easy to escape in a helicopter from the paparazzi and there will probably be lesser paparazzi in front of my house.”
Noah's expression said, ‘You are going to face some difficulties,’ and at his suggestion, Mason replied, “…If it was me, I’ll be more curious about Mr. Raycarlton’s thoughts,” looking back at him.
Letting me borrow a room during this situation? Of course, Noah probably owned more than one or two houses, and each house probably had several rooms, so it’ll be okay to show some kindness to a poor homeless person. But the reporters and media were out for blood and didn’t really care. They were making a ruckus just for going inside a hotel room and for having a date, and if word got out that they were living together…
Mason felt a headache coming on just from thinking about it and looked over at Noah. It seemed like he wanted this scandal to grow rather than calm down, and Mason couldn’t catch up with what the man was thinking.
Him flirting with Noah –whether he meant it or not –from the outside, it seemed very normal. But Noah flirting with Haley was strange. Even in Hollywood, it was rather strange and out of the norm.
Does he have somebody he wanted to protect using this scandal? Since Mason has been used as bullet shield before, these were his immediate thoughts, but still he couldn’t figure out the truth.
Since the Hollywood paparazzi were vicious and stubborn, maybe they will publish about Noah’s intentions next day? Mason looked slightly expectant at Noah, who in turn just shrugged his shoulders.
“They are probably curious of what I think, but they will refrain from following me around.”
“If they wanted to last longer as a reporter in the United States”. Noah had a gentle face like he won't even kill an ant, but said something very despicable and smiled. Mason thought it was too bad.
Well. Don’t know about the Raycarlton family, but Noah’s mother, Rebecca, was from a well-known politician’s family. Their private lives were so confidential that even Mason’s neighborhood felt uncomfortable. They wouldn’t let Noah, who grew up preciously, get attacked by a group of paparazzi just because of a scandal.
“Anyways… thank you for the offer. But right now, time is short and I have something to take care of as soon as I can. I also have to look at the situation in my house.”
