The Playboy and Manager

The sound of camera clicks and the occasional flash of lights filled the room.

The whole room was full of people particularly in front of the white screen, a man and a woman were standing there. The cameras were pointing at them.

The man slid his hand behind the woman's waist, he grinned and he put his face closer to the woman, enjoying that she also grinned and raised her left leg, the man holding her leg he also enjoyed.

"Great post!" the director said.

In the dark corner of the room, a woman sat there checking her phone, when she heard the remark of the director, she watched Dominic and her partner molded the post. She rolled her eyes but inside there was a feeling of jealousy, Cee can see Dominic enjoying it. She just ignored it because it's not her first seeing Dominic do that.

The shooting continued for two hours, Dominic enjoyed it doing some indecent post but his partner never complained instead she enjoyed it too after the shoot he was approached by his partner gave her number.

He was walking towards Cee with a wide smile, when Cee saw this she said in her mind 'pervert'. Dominic noticed his manager has a grumpy face again so he sits beside her.

"You pervert get away from me!" Cee pushed her away from the seat but she was struggling, Dominic didn't move an inch and he was chuckling.

Dominic makes cute faces and pinched her face, he teasingly said "What makes my manager grumpy?"

She swats his hand and immediately rubbed her cheeks, Cee pouted her lips.

"Are you hungry?" Dominic asks her, she swiftly nodded that makes Dominic amused.

Cee didn't say anything, she just sits there fiddling with her phone while her other hand in her cheek guarding against Dominic.

"let's go, I will treat you to your favorite place" Cee's eyes brightened when she heard that.

Dominic stands up and makes his way into the hall where the exit is, while Cee just sits there staring at the back of Dominic, she remembers the time she noticed she had a feeling for him.

It was night, she was in her room watching some news from the tv. Cee was working for Dominic Yue for a year now, at first she was excited about working for a superstar but eventually getting harder, she had to answer for Dominic's controversies even though Dominic was good to her, treating her, buying her some things, and somethings sweet gestures at her.

Lately, she has easily gotten grumpy at Dominic but he will just get sweet at Cee and she was feeling irritated when he saw Dominic with other women. she would not talk to Dominic.

"Mr. Dominic Yue confirmed the relationship he had for Ms…"

Cee was dumbfounded a week ago when she talked with Dominic about that issue, he said to deny that allegation to the news, she was angry at him, he lied to her.

After that news came out, she avoided Dominic at all cost like he had a transmittable disease but one day Dominic came into her house and begged her, he didn't know the true reason Cee avoided him all he knew is she avoided her because of the other controversies he made.

It has been two years since then she knows she had a feeling for Dominic, she grew accustomed to Dominic having an issue here and there, and for her feelings? She put it in the back of her head and buried it in the deepest part of her hypothalamus.

"Hey! Cee let's go, you said you are hungry? Come on" she woke up from reminiscing when Dominic called her.

"Coming!" she said excitedly, she smiled while walking towards him she is content with this setup currently.

"Order your food now," Dominic said while scanning the whole place.

"What are you doing again Nic?" she asked while checking the food menu, she noticed Dominic finding someone.

"Nothing" he returned his gazed at Cee while smiling "Order now"

She rolled her eyes at him in return Dominic just grinned at her. That made her irritated, she knew he was doing something naughty.

Just then a woman's voice takes their attention.

"Hey Dominic," she said seductively, she was wearing a red dress that made you pay attention to her, and her lips were bright red.

Cee's gaze at him was sharp like knives, that's why he was scanning the place that made his necks like a giraffe.

"oh who's this your manager? She's cute" she said coyly at him.

The woman was Dominic's partner in the photo shoot, she takes her seat beside Dominic.

She was flustered at Dominic; it was supposed to be two of them but this leech arrived.

"Hi I'm Rachel" she reached her hand at Cee but Cee just stared at her hand and didn't answer Rachel.

Dominic's reaction was normal; it's quite normal to him that Cee would react like that.

"Your manager is rude Dominic," she said to him as a child bullied her.

Dominic stayed silent thus Cee, he didn't want to say anything that made Cee upset.

"Just order your food Rachel '' he told her, she picked the menu irritatedly, she thought Dominic was into her, she was a second class model but through her connection, she was the pair model of Dominic.

On the other side, Cee already selected her food. The kimchi soup.

"Hey this is my order" Cee pointed at the menu while having a frown face.

"Are you sure? It's spicy" He asked worried, Cee just nodded.

"How about you?" He asks the woman, she ordered.

After a few minutes their food arrived, immediately Cee buried her head in the food, she did not like spicy foods but she tried it today because she was pissed off by Dominic, she felt her tongue was burning.

Rachel noticed that Dominic's manager is red as pepper and she is sweating profusely, she ignored it.

But Dominic noticed it too, he knew Cee never eats spicy foods and it was her first time to eat spicy food.

"Hey Cee are you okay?" he asked worriedly, he waved at the waiter.

"Give us water and milk immediately," he ordered.

Rachel's eyes are full of disgust. She thought Cee was just acting to get the attention of Dominic.

"Nevermind her Dominic she's just acti--" Dominic cut her off.

"Shut up!" his voice raised, he was worried at Cee.

"You can go home now! You can't help the situation" he roared at Rachel, his face was full of worry. He gritted his teeth.

The waiter arrived with the milk and water, so he said to Cee to drink the milk and not eat any more soup. In the corner Rachel saw Dominic taking care of his manager, her face contorted, and she left the table. Dominic ignores her when she leaves, even though he likes to flirt not in this situation.

After a few minutes, Cee's face calmed down and her face turned back to normal, she set aside the food and ordered a new one. Dominic had a sigh of relief.

"Thank you," Cee said.
