Kahan drove for a while mostly in silence which Teran preferred to hearing his voice in his ears.
The moment they stopped in front of GMT international, Teran knew they were there for something relating to Kahan's acting job.
"Try to keep up," Kahan told him the second he got out of the car, impatiently waiting for Teran to do the same.
A little unwilling, he did as he was asked, wishing he had known he was coming to such a place, as he looked down at his average looking, slightly faded clothes compared to all the shiny clothes everyone was wearing around him.
"Keep Up!" He heard Kahan say again from a few steps in front of him, and he quickly hurried his footsteps to match Kahan's own.
"Yes boss," Teran replied with a serious expression on his face, glad to notice that Kahan didn't mind him calling him boss and even seemed to enjoy it, as Teran noticed the small smile lingering at the edge of his lips.
They had just stepped out of the car with Kahan handing the keys over to the Valet, when Teran suddenly noticed the influx of stares that the both of them instantly got, especially him.
Everyone was glad to see Kahan's beautiful face but even the reporters always lingering around the front of GMT international, couldn't help but zoom in their attention onto Teran who they had never seen before.
"Who is he?"
"Why is he following Kahan and dressed like that?"
"Even a beggar has better clothes,"
"But he's a little handsome though," heard Teran from different people as he and Kahan walked quickly pass multiple people into the lobby of the company, with Teran not paying any mind to whatever they said about him.
Walking behind Kahan he couldn't help but be impressed by the respect people gave him the moment they saw him. He could tell that it wasn't simply because he was one of the top five actors in the country.
"I'm here for a meeting with Erio,"Kahan announced to the lobby attendant the second he got to the counter,
"Yes sir, he's already expecting you. I'll personally lead you to the hall," Julia, the attendant replied with the most seductive smile Teran had ever seen as he himself couldn't help but admire her beautiful face.
She had a lot of make up on but that didn't in anyway remove how beautiful and proper she looked in her black and white outfit, especially as she seemed intent on catching Kahan's eyes,
"No need!" Kahan replied in clear tone shutting her advances down,
"Just tell me what dining hall he's in," Kahan impatiently replied not wanting to have to call his manager and have him whine on the phone for a while before he finally told him where he was,
"The main third floor dining room for VIP's, Sir," she instantly replied, just as Teran lightly chuckled when he noticed how tightly Julia gritted her teeth against each other in frustration when she heard Kahan's reply,
This resulted in him getting the stink eye as she glared at him with utter disdain,
"It's not my fault," Tersn thought as he quickly followed right beside Kahan the instant he began moving without giving the attendant another look.
The moment they entered the elevator together, Kahan began speaking,
"Don't speak unless spoken to, that's your job as my bodyguard,"
"But I'm also your assistant remember," Teran quickly replied, the thought of always following Kahan without being able to speak, making him wish he had asked for a million dollars if that was in fact what Kahan wanted,
"Yes, but you know nothing about my acting life yet, neither have you gotten my schedule. You are also not aware of the things I like and do not like so tell me…how exactly are you going to assist me?" Kahan asked, but just as Teran was opening his mouth, trying to scramble for an appropriate answer to give Kahan, the elevator door opened and Kahan stepped out, walking faster than before leaving him scrambling to follow closely behind him without any opportunity for them to continue their conversation.
"Kahan it's so good to see you," Erio, Kahan's manager gushed rushing forward to urge Kahan, as Teran watched the most Awkward hug he had ever seen in action.
Kahan instantly tried to evade Erio almost like he was prepared for it, with Erio latching on to him regardless of what Kahan wanted. After about thirty seconds of that happening and Teran trying to stand as still as he imagined a bodyguard would without bursting into laughter, he finally watched Erio give up, letting Kahan go.
"We've been waiting for a while but Araya is such a darling that she didn't even mind waiting," Erio informed Kahan, while also hinting at him to apologize for his late behaviour,
"I'm sorry for my late arrival. I had something I needed to take care of," Kahan replied, looking at Araya, the female actor in front of him who hadn't once taken her eyes off him since he entered. He found her eyes, innocent looking and charming but that was all he thought of her.
Araya on the other hands had other plans.
"It's fine, Erio was good company," she replied, looking at him before looking away determined to play the coy game and stand out from other women that seemed to toss themselves at his feet, as much as she also wanted to.
Kahan nodded and just as he was about to dive into asking Erio about the new movie he mentioned and why he was there, Erio beat him to it,
"and who is he?" Erio asked with a very curious expression on his face, looking straight at Teran who had simply being standing beside Kahan without sitting while paying attention to their surroundings, not particularly interested in what they were talking about until he felt Erio's entire attention on him,
"Who is he and why is he standing?"
"Teran. He's my bodyguard.." Kahan replied,
"and personal assistant," Teran also said right before recalling how he was supposed to be pretending to be deaf and dumb, when he noticed the sharp gaze Kahan threw at him,
"What happened to Manny?" Erio asked, knowing how we'll Kahan liked his assistant and treated him,
"Manny left. Family problems," Kahan replied in a tone that told Erio that it was best to drop the matter.
"Still…he shouldn't have to stand," Erio replied with a long sigh shaking his head as he looked at Kahan before gesturing for Teran to sit beside the empty space on his right, since Kahan was already sitting beside Araya. The most likely female actress for the movie he wanted Kahan to agree to.
"Come here," Erio told Teran with a excited look on his face that he couldn't conceal. Getting to know anyone close to Kahan was a pleasure.
Teran instantly sighed with a happy smile on his face delighted to not have to stand for the entirety of Kahan's supposed meeting.
He had just taken a step forward when he suddenly felt someone pull him backwards, feeling strange hands wrap themselves around his waist.
