LYONS

"What's his schedule for tomorrow?" Mark asked.

"Tomorrow at 8am, you have a commercial shoot for Nike's newest collection for fall, at 1pm you have a photoshoot for vogue's september front cover and the last one for the day is at 7pm for your invitation as a guest for the current popular talk show YOUR CELEBRITY IS HERE" Teddy, Lyons assistant answered.

Teddy was Lyons ' assistant and he was very handsome and coupled with his google framed eyeglasses which he doesn't normally wear he becomes super hot and cute at the same time.

" I sometimes wonder why you guys wouldn't join the showbiz even with the constant pressure I give you guys. Look how handsome and tall you guys are" I said while looking at my two best friends who are also my manager and assistant.

"Lyons, can you be serious? we are talking about tomorrow's schedules and mind you, don't ever talk about us joining the showbiz. Thanks for your kind thoughts but we are good with our current work" said Mark.

" If you don't want to work with us anymore, just say it directly and stop talking about the showbiz thing. We are already sick and tired of listening to your rantings" Teddy added.

" Hey guys don't say that, how can I not need you anymore. Come on, we have been friends since middle School,went to the same highschool and completed the same college. I started this journey with you guys and am really grateful to God for giving me you guys because am nothing without the two of you" I said with seriousness .

" We know and am also grateful for having the two of you.But Lyons don't forget to add your elder brother to your thanks list next time" Mark said with a smile.

" Thinking about it , I am also very thankful for you guys. We really worked hard to be able to be what we are today and so prepare according to the schedule and wake up early tomorrow" Teddy added.

The next day, we arrived at the commercial shoot early as Teddy kept urging us to hurry up after having breakfast. He was always serious about work. I started off as an actor at the age of fifteen, at that time ,my elder brother who was also nineteen at the time arranged everything for me as we were left to depend on each other after our parents death. At that time, he did everything he could to secure jobs for me but still insisted I go to school. He was just a college student at that time but he did everything for us. He studied business administration in college. Sometimes I pity him because that was not what he actually liked but our parents were into business before their death and so he decided to learn it after their demise.

We lost our parents when I was thirteen and my brother was seventeen. As they got into an accident at a factory they were working for which led to their immediate death , the factory gave us their insurance money which was enough to sponsor us till we completed college and coupled with our parents savings we were good to go. Our parents were accountants at the factory. We actually didn't need to work but just focused on our education. Actually my brother and I were very good at singing but because of taking care of me , he gave up his dream and supported mine.

During the two years before my acting debut, my brother used part of our parents' savings to get me extra classes for acting. He planned everything out for me. At the age of fifteen and he was nineteen, he saw a notice of a TV series. That's when He took me for the audition and lucky for us I secured the secondary male lead role. After the show, I gained a lot of popularity and fans as I was really handsome. After that, I auditioned for many shows and starred in many series.

My brother, after completing college at the age of 22 and I being 18, called me for a conversation. He proposed to use the money we got to open an artist management company to manage me, As all this while I didn't sign with any company and I quickly agreed because I trusted my brother. All this while, he allowed Teddy and Mark to stay with me as my assistants and even though it didn't pay much at that time they accepted it because we were good friends.

Soon I was twenty and he was twenty four. His company was thriving within this two years and I kept on starring in big productions while bringing home countless awards. My brother suggested I release a song and guess what it was also a blow. We got around 2 million album sales on my first album and all this while I was still attending a private college with my two friends so it didn't actually disrupt my lessons.

That year, I went to New York for a commercial for a sportswear brand. During my shoot at Ocean Hotel, I bumped into a girl whom I taught was one of the extras. At that time, part of the script was to bump into the girl and later ask her if she didn't see me coming and so I did exactly that but then, the girl seemed to have gotten angry by what I said but I went away as the script said. I later found out that she wasn't part of the extras. I had wanted to find her and apologized but since I had an event to attend, I decided to apologize later.

At the party which was supposedly a masked party, I got to dance with the girl as part of the activity but due to the apparent irritation in her eyes, I planned to wait and apologize to her after the dance but exactly after the dance the host pulled me over to have some drinks. At first, Mark rejected the offer on my behalf but he insisted so we obliged. At the table, I saw the girl drinking with some friends. Mark got a call and so he went out to answer it and a while later I saw the girl going out and since I had wanted to apologize I decided to follow her, so I went after her even though I was tipsy but she was totally drunk. I was holding a drink while I followed her.

I caught up with her on the floor of my room and it turned out we were separated by four rooms which I only got to know the next day. I talked to her in my tipsy state and the rest is all I remembered was we entered my room talking and drinking together. I didn't know how things got hotter between us but the next morning we woke up, we realized we had slept together but she was greatly affected as she was a virgin and even though it was also my first time, I felt extremely guilty towards her and so I offered to take on responsibility but she didn't want that. I placed my card in her purse telling her to call me after she calms down but till date , I never heard from her and all my efforts to search for her turned futile.

Back to the present, after completing my schedule for the day, I went back home with my two besties and since I was really tired, I went straight to bed after taking my bath.
