Rendezvous With The Popular Aunt (2)

"First of all, are you planning to take an acting class?"

Brigitte started conversing with her nephew as she took a sip of her strawberry latte.

She then heard Antonio speaking after nodding his head.

"Yes Aunt, I'm going to the Grand Performing Arts Academy."

Brigitte raised one of her eyebrows in surprise upon hearing that response.

She then curiously asked.

"Did you talk to your father about that already? Did he agree?"

"Yes, my dad already told me that it's fine."

That was another shocking response that made her become puzzled.

'That overprotective man really gave permission for his oh-so-beloved son to go to a very far city?'

She can't help but feel disbelief at what she was hearing but soon stopped overthinking after realizing that there must be a reason why his brother-in-law allowed it.

She then looked at Antonio, who was savoring a banana cream puff paired with a caramel frappuccino.

She then started talking to give some tips to her nephew.

"Truth be told, I don't know that much about acting, but I want to give you some advice about the dos and don'ts of an entertainer."

She then rambled on about her experience when she was still a newbie in the industry up to the present time.

She even included some of the experiences and woes of her actor friends.

"Well, since I'm not an actor, these are all that I can advise to you … I even included some of my friends' experiences, so I hope they will be of help to you in your future journey, Yoyo."

Brigitte said as she felt thirsty from all that chatter she made.

She then drank her latte and listened as her nephew gently said how grateful he is to her advice.

"Thanks Aunt, I will certainly remember everything you said and use them to become a good actor."

Brigitte smiled as she looked proudly at Antonio.

"Aawwww, since when did my precious nephew grow up so well? Though your height is still on the cute side, hehe."

She teased Antonio, who pouted upon hearing what she said.

"It's because of the coma, just wait for a year and you'll see that I'm on the tall side too."

Antonio replied with his cheeks slightly puffed up.

After chatting for a few more minutes in the coffee shop, they decided to leave and go to their next destination.

But as soon as they stood up from their seats, some of the customers near them began to flock around them.

They asked for the autograph of Brigitte and if they could take a picture of her.

Since Brigitte has an image to maintain, she looked apologetically at her nephew who just smiled at her to let her know that he understands.

Antonio tried to move to the side to give way to his aunt's fans, but before he could even take a step, some people started swarming around him as well.

They asked him for his number or if they could take pictures with him.

Of course he didn't give his number since he knows that it will be a pain in the ass to have unknown people flooding you with messages and calls, he experienced that in his past life as an author after all.

But he isn't cruel enough to decline their request to take pictures with him.

He stood beside a blushing lady and looked at the camera that had his and her face together, he then smiled gently.

There were also some young men who took a picture with him and blushed when Antonio made eye contact with them.

The same goes with his aunt, who strikes different poses for her different fans.

After a while, they finally left the coffee shop.

They are now back inside the car, heading to a certain place.

"Gosh, that's really one hell of a chaotic fan meeting."

Brigitte said as she held the steering wheel with one hand and used her other hand to wipe her sweat.

She then glanced at her nephew who looked to be in deep thought as he stared at a box of banana cream puff.

"No matter where you go, you're really an eye-catching figure—please take note that you're still not a star yet but people are already like that with you, hence, you should be prepared and look forward to being mobbed when you become a celebrity later on."

Brigitte said after remembering how people looked so excited while taking pictures with her nephew earlier.

That's not the only time that she witnessed that happening in her eyes.

Ever since her nephew was still a child, people always found him to be very good-looking.

Every time Antonio wanders alone somewhere when he was a child, he would end up being asked a lot of times for pictures.

Before he went to coma, his classmates and schoolmates treated him as a celebrity or idol because of his looks.

Brigitte then added on.

"Well, you seemed to be used to attention already, though."

Antonio smiled humbly then replied.

"Just a little bit."

Brigitte smiled proudly at him, she can't help but feel that even if Antonio will rise to the very top of the industry, fame will not change him to become an arrogant person.

That's what her hunch is telling her, and her hunch was never wrong.

"By the way, are we going to your house now, Aunt Brigitte?"

Antonio inquired, making Brigitte smirked playfully.

"Yeah, I'll bring you there and you'll be staying there until Brother Chris comes back."

She excitedly said while thinking about how her brother will react upon knowing that Antonio will be staying with her and not him.

. . .

Inside a hotel room, a fine-looking man stood before the floor to ceiling window while only wearing a towel around his waist and left his upper body naked.

He enjoyed the bright view outside the window as he took a sip of his champagne from the wineglass he was holding.

"Hmn … it's bright, can you please close the curtains."

A man's voice sounded inside the room, making the fine-looking man frown.

He didn't close the curtains, instead he ignored the man who was lying on the bed fully naked.

He heard a rustling sound from behind him, so he coldly said.

"If you're finally awake, go f*cking take a shower and leave."

Silence filled the room after he said that.

There's no sound of one's movements nor a sound of someone showering.

The fine-looking man turned around and furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the naked man looking at him with teary eyes.

"D-director Del Rio … b-but last n-night …"

The naked man started to say something but the man called Director Del Rio quickly cut him off.

"Last night? Don't worry, after I f*cking punched you, you fainted and I got out of the bed … I f*cking made sure not to touch a single strand of your hair and I even made the adjustments to sleep on that couch over there."

Director Del Rio said in a matter of fact tone.

He then added on in a very impatient tone as he covered his nose with his hand.

"If you have no plan to take a shower, please f*cking leave because the room stinks with your body odor."

The naked man got frightened at his authoritative tone and annoyed expression, and immediately picked up his clothes that were scattered on the floor when he tried to seduce the handsome director last night.

After he finished putting his clothes on, he immediately ran out of the room in fear of facing the director's temper.

The director sighed after the door of the room closed.

"Tsk! Damn wh*res!"

He cursed as he grabbed an air freshener provided by the hotel and sprayed it in every nook and cranny of the room.

Last night, he attended a party hosted by one of his friends who is also a movie director.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, he decided to call it a night and headed to the hotel room assigned to him.

He then decided to take a nap before he proceeded to take a shower.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a knock at the door, but because he didn't want to entertain anyone anymore, he didn't respond to that knock.

However, despite not receiving a response, the door went open and a man entered the room, making Director Del Rio look at the man with irritation.

The man started stripping while ignoring the director's gaze, and once he was fully naked, he tried to kiss the movie director.

The moment his face came close to Director Del Rio's face, the latter couldn't hold it anymore and punched him with full force and made him lose consciousness.

Director Del Rio frowned again after remembering what happened last night.

He then entered the bathroom and showered again even though he just took a shower thirty minutes ago.

He scrubbed all his body parts, afraid that germs from the stranger who just left the room might creep on his skin.

"Ah, disgusting!"

He mumbled as he continued washing his body thoroughly.

After finishing his bath that took almost half an hour, he decided to change his clothes and left the room.

He doesn't want to stay there anymore as he feels like the room is filled with bacteria from the naked man.

He quickly entered the elevator and pressed the ground floor button.

As he stood there, waiting to arrive on the ground floor, his phone made a sound, indicating that he received a new message.

"What the hell?! Brigitte, that witch!"

He muttered as soon as he saw the content of the message.

Brigitte, his singer sister, sent him a photo of her and Antonio together inside a coffee shop.

He clenched his jaw upon reading her message along with the photo.

- Yoyo is staying with me for three whole days, hehehehe. 

That was the message Brigitte sent to him.

Ding.

He raised his head and saw that he was already on the ground floor, so he immediately went out of the elevator and headed straight to his car that looks like a Bugatti.

The moment he entered the car, he didn't hesitate anymore and drove it swiftly to his sister's house in this city.

. . .

"You mean this is not your only house?"

Antonio asked with a sparkling gaze as he stared at the very big house in front of him.

The car was parked below the stairs of the entrance of the house.

"Yes, I also have houses in some cities and countries since I traveled from time to time."

Brigitte said then looked at him confusedly.

She then added as she pinched her nephew's cheeks.

 "Why are you so surprised? You also have lots of houses in different parts of the world, even five times more than what I have."

 "Ow! Oh you're right."

Antonio responded after remembering how wealthy their family is.

They got out of the car and entered the huge house.

Brigitte handed her keys to one of her male attendants so that he could park her car at the garage.

"By the way, Yoyo, I invited your grandma and grandpa for dinner since they've longed to see you after a long time."

Brigitte said as she guided Antonio to the room he will be staying.

"Alright, Aunt Brigitte, I've also missed them so much."

Antonio said as they walked up the stairs.

Suddenly, a sound of a car screeching to a stop was heard from outside the entrance.

Antonio looked confusedly at his aunt, wondering if his grandparents had already arrived when it was still afternoon.

"Is that Grandpa and Grandma?"

Brigitte grinned widely and wrapped her hands around his waist.

"Nah, that's—"

But before she could finish her sentence, a loud scream echoed in the entirety of the living room.

"BRIGITTE, YOU LITTLE MONKEY—ah Yoyo, it's been a while, I missed you so much~"

The man, who just entered, shouted at his sister like a thug, but instantly softened when he saw Antonio's angelic face looking at him.
