Arc 2.3

Alaric and Tai finish up eating the two head out. Once again they see Sonya and Director Drew. However, Sonya didn't look the same as when she came with Director Drew. Her hair which was once in an elegant bun is now let down. The bright red lipstick she had on is now just her natural pinkish lips.

"Tai reject his offer right away" Alaric states once they are in the car. Tai nods and quickly takes out his phone and rejects Director Drew's offer. Both of them now knew that it was definitely a conspiracy. Not even a minute goes by when Tai gets a call. Tai reluctantly answers.

"Hello, Mr. Tai why did you say no to my generous offer?" Asks Director Drew.

"I'm not a fan of sad romantic stories. I have to go now I have to practice for my audition for another movie" Tai responds coldly. Tai is cold to people who he doesn't trust and doesn't like being near them. The only time he does step out of his comfort zone is only when he acts.

"You know I can make your life miserable?" Drew threatens. Alaric who is currently driving grip tighten in anger. Who does Drew think he is threatening his friend like this?

"Hmm, It's not the first time someone from your status has threatened me and failed to accomplish their goal. This will be goodbye and take care" Tai coldly answers. He then proceeds to dial Glen.

"Who you calling?" Asks Alaric curiously, Tai turns his phone to show the name of who be is calling which is best friend Glen.

"Hello, Tai is everything okay?" Asks Glen worriedly.

"I'm okay but Director Drew just threatened me if I didn't act in his new movie he would make my life miserable. I and Alaric just saw him at a restaurant with Sonya. I'm scared she might be planning something" Tai explains to Glen.

"Don't worry about Director Drew I'll handle him. Can you pass me to your friend Alaric please?" Glen asks softly. Tai hums turns off the speaker and hands it to Alaric.

"This is Alaric," Alaric says.

"Alaric please convince him to stay with you. He trusts you to some degree. If you let him go home he will for sure have another panic attack. I would go myself but I have a business to handle tonight" Glen explains to Alaric.

"I see I will definitely do as you say" Alaric answers quickly.

"Thank you by the way! For accepting Tai even with all his flaws. I know it's a bit hard to handle that at first" Glen wholeheartedly thanks. Tai who is actually hearing the conversation thanks to the help of the system. Defiantly deepened his suspicions that Sonya or someone did something big to make Glen betray Tai.

"He is a great person I would be a fool to just ignore him" Alaric exclaims. He turns to Tai and gives him a silly smile.

"Yes, he is! Goodbye hope we meet someday" Glen says as he hung up.

++++With Glen++++

Glen looks at the phone in anger how dare they threaten Tai! Glen looks at the pictures of him and Tai as kids. Tai was a bright kid who filled the room with laughter. Tai would protect him and treat him as a younger brother. That all changed when the incident happened and Tai's laughter and confidence disappeared. He became an empty shell and became very paranoid. Glen had a hard time breaking down the walls Tai put up. So when he saw Tai's love of acting. He quickly got him teachers and got him audition. Since Tai started getting better and some of his confidence coming back.

"I will not allow anyone to harm you anymore. It was my fault in the first place that you got hurt" Glen promises. He calls for his right-hand man.

"You called?" The man teases a bit as he comes in.

"Director Drew find any dirt on him and threaten him to leave Tai alone! If he doesn't we will make his life miserable and ruin him!" Glen says in anger. The man's eyes darken in anger.

"He threatened Tai?" The man mumbles.

"Yes," Glen answers shortly.

"l will get this done by tomorrow" the man answers.

"Thanks, Travis" Glen thanks.

"Anything for you love. But also cause Tai did help us realize our feeling even though you haven't told him yet. He won't care you know it is fine to tell him" Travis says. Glen looks down and shakes his head.

"I don't know how what if he is disgusted. What if I hurt him?" Glen groans Travis shakes his head.

"You won't and he won't be disgusted" Travis retorts. He gives Glen a quick peck on the lips.

"Let me get the guts to tell him alright?" Glen responds softly. Travis smiles and nods before leaving. Travis does some phone calls and quickly found dirt on director Drew. As Director Drew has a lot of dirty little secrets. He compiled them on a file to send to Director Drew and threaten him. He messed with the wrong family this time. His two most important people are Glen and Tai. They are his family in his heart. He sees Tai as a little brother who needs to be protected at all times from ravaging wolves.

"Now that I'm done with this let's check this new friend of Tai" Travis whispers to himself. So he starts looking at Alaric social media and calling some people for Alaric's history. What he gathered he is genuinely a good person. He helps people often and donates a lot. The only thing he hides is the fact he is from a super-rich family.

"Tai you found a good friend but if he dares to hurt you. I will break every bone in that man's body!" Travis threatens Alaric in his head. Alaric who is currently practicing with Tai felt a shiver go down his spine.
