“Wow, really…” I said in awe. “Yup. It’s not as big of a deal as you think but it does mean that I have to take care of his case along with the other doctors,” Adrian said. “I see…” I mumbled. Adrian flashed me a smile before he started taking off his suit and, in its place, he put on his white doctor coat again. ‘Welcome back, Doctor Adrian’ I said to myself in my mind as I smiled at him. One day I’ll get used to this transition of his, but not today. Soon, I found out that Adrian was right. I did recognize the politician immediately. He’s the minister of foreign affairs and is often seen on television during news segments. “Doctor Adrian, thank you helping me out today,” the man said with a friendly smile. “It always a pleasure to have you here at our hospital. How have you been feeling?” Adrian asked with a look of genuine concern. “Like usual. The treatment last time worked very well,” the minister replied. “Then let’s do the usual monitoring tests to follow up from last

“Welcome!”“Nice to meet you,”“Welcome to the team!”The atmosphere was very friendly and super hyped. The team members consisted of both genders and were varying in age. However, everyone seemed very enthusiastic to work together. It must be because of the hard work of these people supporting him that EROS is as famous and successful as he is today. Today was my first day on the job as EROS’s assistant manager. As discussed prior to this, this was only a cover for my fake girlfriend relationship with EROS. The man in question was still nowhere to be seen. Thankfully, the manager would be with us as well. Mr. Mark Davis is a famous talent manager that had been working with EROS soon after he debuted with his band. The band’s first album was such a huge success that the top manager was put into further groom them and EROS in particular. “Hmm…where is EROS?” I asked the manager as I stood by his side. The other team members have scattered to work on their respective jobs, so the man

Just like the photoshoot, the magazine interview and the radio interview went by smoothly like a breeze. EROS received ample compliments from both clients, and they looked forward to working with him again. I was starting to see why EROS was so popular in the industry and why his schedule is always packed with jobs. “Finally, we’re heading back to the agency. Your music producer will be there to meet you when we get back. As I told you before, he wants to discuss your new single,” Mark said as he kept his eyes on the road ahead. EROS seemed lost in a daze as he stared out at the scenery that was passing by through the car window. From the looks of it, I doubt that he actually saw anything that was passing by. I wondered if he was tired and then I thought that it would be extremely disturbing if he wasn’t tired after all the things that he’s done today. One thing that I’ve learnt for sure is that EROS worked hard. His success wasn’t from natural-born talent alone, it also came from h

“Right now?” I asked. “Yes. Unfortunately, being a celebrity doesn’t have fixed working hours…” Mark replied with sad smile. “Ok. Sure…” I murmured. “You don’t have to do anything much. Just watch him and keep him company. Make sure he doesn’t slack off! See you!” Mark said as he waved goodbye. After parting ways with Mark, I headed to the studio where EROS was. EROS was wrapped up in thought with a pen and a notebook in his hand when I entered the room. He didn’t even look up and I was certain that he wasn’t even aware that I had walked into the room. I decided to remain silent and give him space so that he could focus on the lyrics that he was writing. I wondered what kind of love song EROS would come up with for his fans. Time ticked by as I sat there silently while EROS frowned at the papers in front of him. An hour passed by and then two. EROS was still busy working so I guess it should be fine if I leave for a bit. The truth was, I needed to pee. Quietly, I got out of my se

“Alternative rock love songs aren’t bad, I guess…” EROS whispered into my ear and my body trembled. It felt like years had passed until the song came to an end. EROS let go of me and I breathed a long sigh of relief. “Come this way,” he said as he took my hand in his once again. He led me around and we ended up backstage. After walking through a narrow hallway, we entered a room. To my surprise the band that had just sung the love song was there. I could remember the lead singer and her outfit quite well from just now. “Wow! Max! Didn’t think you could make it,” the girl cried out in excitement when she saw EROS enter the room. “I got here just in time for your performance. The song was great,” EROS replied casually. Did she just call him ‘Max’? The girl was probably in late teens or early twenties and the way that she was beaming at EROS told me more than I needed to know about how she felt about him. She looks cute and with a lot of professional help, she might look passable
