CHAPTER 17

On his way to work the next day,Ryan called an apartment agent and made an appointment with him for the next day.

He has decided to move out of Noah's apartment , seems moving out of the apartment isn't the only thing he needs to do.

After lunch break, Ronda, Thomas and Ryan went to the set where the product testing was going on.When they got there, Kelvin and the Director wasn't there,so they headed to the meeting room to see them.

Entering inside the meeting room,Ryan was stunned when he saw Noah and the Alec shaking hands.He was so shocked that he couldn't move, Kelvin touched him before he came back to his senses.

"What's going on?" Ryan said softly to Kelvin.

" Noah agreed to be the model,I thought you said you he was going to decline?" Kelvin said.

"I don't know either, he knows I work here."

"I think it's because Alec is a big shot that's why, imagine being a model for an international company of course he wouldn't decline,but why does it look like your ex boyfriend is shaking hands with your new boyfriend?"

"Hey.... stop " Ryan said while shaking his head.

Noah and Ryan's eyes met and Noah looked away first.

'Of course he was going to look away,they are never to interact in public so why did he sign the contract?',Ryan thought to himself.

Soon everyone started leaving the meeting room and Noah passed by Ryan like he didn't know him.

Alec noticed it but he didn't say anything,he recognized Noah the first time he dropped Ryan home,he was surprised that Ryan lived with a famous model but he couldn't understand why they didn't say anything to each other right now. 'They literally live together so why are they acting like they don't know each other?', Alec thought to himself.

"Hey Ryan " Alec called when he got near.

"Hey ....I didn't know you were coming today"

"Yeah...the CMO called so I had to check if the model is to my liking,how are you?"

"Oh...I'm fine, you are heading back?"

"Yeah ..... I have a meeting to attend to but I'll be here for the shoot tomorrow and next "

"Okay,let me see you out" Ryan offered.

"Okay,let's go"

Alec assistant went ahead of them to prepare the car.

Noah had just stepped out of the meeting room when he heard Alec call Ryan,he turned and saw them talking to each other closely.

He wasn't a fool,he recognized Alec as the man who dropped Ryan off twice.He was surprised to learn that this man was a big shot.He couldn't help but get jealous.

"Let's head to the set , to get you familiar with the team you'll be working with " The director said to Noah and his manager.

" Where's Ryan? " Thomas asked loudly.

" He's with Sir Alec " Ronda said.

" Oh ,I remember they are familiar with each other" Thomas said.

"Hmmmm... I think the reason why Sir Alec signed a contract with our company is because of Ryan " Ronda said acting like she just said a very big secret.

Noah was listening to them talk since their voices wasn't low and Kelvin noticed.

"Enough gossiping okay? " Kelvin said while hitting Ronda's head.

Noah's thought couldn't help but go far,his jealousy got him so irritated but he had to just endure it.

In the parking lot, Ryan was about bidding Alec goodbye when Alec held his hand.

" Hey ... Are you busy tonight?" Alec asked.

" Oh I don't think so, why?"

" Let's have dinner together"

"Okay ..sure,Mama Adams restaurant? "

"Yeah, I'll pick you up by 7 "

"Okay "

Alec touched Ryan's hair softly before entering the car.Ryan watched the car drive away before he went inside.

He headed straight for the set to meet the others.

" Did you see him off?" Kelvin asked.

" Yeah "

"Ryan....can I ask a question?"

"Okayyyy...." Ryan said unsure.

" What's going on with you and Alec?"

" Nothing, we're just friends "

"It can't be nothing,he obviously like you" Kelvin said.

" You can't be too sure Kelvin "

" Alec would never spend time with you if he isn't interested in you,I really thinks he likes you .... Does he know about you and Noah?"

"No...." Ryan said with a hint of sadness " I wanted to tell him but I don't think it's necessary"

"Why??....have you guys broken up?"

"Not yet" Ryan said while looking at Noah

"Not yet?? So you guys are going to break up? "

" I think that's what it has gotten to,I am moving out of his apartment..."

" Like seriously?, I am so happy for you"

" I know you will "

" But what happened? "

" Let's talk about this later, the CMO is here."

" Okay,let's hang out tomorrow after work "

" Okay "

After bidding his friends goodbye after work, Ryan went to the car park to wait for Alec.Apart from the vehicles in the car park,the park was empty. Ryan waited for a while before a car drove in and stopped in front of him. Noah came down from the car.

" What are you doing here?" Ryan asked.

" I came to pick you up"

" Pick me up?, there's no need for that I'm fine"

" Are you expecting someone? " Noah asked when he saw Ryan looking around.

" What are you really doing here?"

" Like I said I came to pick you up,you didn't sleep at home last night.Where did you sleep at?"

"An hotel, I'll be coming to get my things this weekend."

" What are you playing at?"

" I'm not playing,I'm moving out so there's no need for you to pick me up..... you've never picked me up from work before so why are you even doing it now.You're the one playing"

" What do you mean by you're moving out? "

" You heard me right "

" Ryan get in the car let's talk at home "

"No "

" Ryan "

" No,I'm not going anywhere with you " Ryan said before walking away from him.

Ryan's attitude got Noah mad,he got hold of Ryan's hand and dragged him.

" Why the f**k are you doing this? Why do you like making me mad?"

Noah pinned him to the car tightly.

" Let go of me "

" For once just do what I tell you to.... let's stop arguing okay?"

" Just let go of me" Ryan said with his eyes turning red.

" Come home with me okay?"

" I don't want to, please just let's stop this.I am tired okay? " Ryan said with tears pulling in his eyes,he didn't understand why Noah was like this.One minute he is cold another,he is soft,it makes him wonder if Noah is actually sick in the head.

" I've been enduring everything for so long and I don't want to anymore, let's just end it "

" Are you breaking up with me? " Noah asked angrily.

" We've already reached this point,what did you expect?,we've been forcing this relationship for two years still we've gone nowhere. Let's just put an end to it"

Noah grabbed Ryan by the back neck before a kissing him.Ryan struggled for a while before pushing Noah off him.

" I love you Ryan "

" You don't..." Ryan couldn't hold the tears in his eyes anymore " you've caused me pain so many times,do you even have an idea what you've done to me? "

Noah moved closer to Ryan before pulling him for a tight hug.Ryan struggled but Noah didn't let go of him.

"Let me go....Noah let go of me" Ryan said while crying.

"LET HIM GO RIGHT NOW"
