After leaving the hotel Colton went to his private condo his parents had bought for him on his eighteenth birthday it was actually boldly written at the top A-condo in black and red colors while the condo itself was white, it was a two bedroom flat with an inner swimming pool that had his name written inside with the same colors as the A-condo sign and a large swinging chair where you could relax and look at the beautiful garden beside his living room window.
Clearly Angel was being doted on by his parents especially his papa which was one of the reason why Tom hated Angel, but he had only distance himself from them and hardly contacted them after joining SkyParadise tsk! he had always thought they only adopted him because Tom begged them to, even at work he was only known as Angel or Angie no one knew he was a son of the Gilbert couple, his papa was a famous designer in SkyParadise while his father manages one of SkyParadise sub-company a very popular seaside tourist attraction point in the country! meanwhile Tom had always used his identity as their son to get more fame,
Colton was confused, they could have adopted only him if they liked him so much thereby avoiding the plot as a whole but they changed their minds in the last minute and adopted Tom instead if it wasn't because Tom asked them to adopt both him and Angel they wouldn't have bothered about him,
Ring!!
Just then his phone rang from inside his bag, " hello" he picked the call absent minded and brought it to his ear which he immediately regrets the next second
" Angel!! it's almost noon already! have you forgotten you have a photoshoot at 12:00 again it's 10:33 already!, you promised to go so don't you dare go back on your words and get your lazy ass here right now!"Colton winced as he hurriedly pulled the phone far from his ear the other should be a rapper because he indeed have the talent, he looked at the caller and immediately recognize who was speaking it was his Manager a.k.a second best friend a.k.a mama bear Cyrus, Angel had always found him a pain in the ass but still liked him, Cyrus was one of the few who believed and trusted him until the end and never fell for Tom's white lotus personality which he hated to the core, of course it didn't end well for him because after the two protagonists finished with Angel they killed him too, as they said trusting someone isn't the problem the problem was the consequences you would have to face after it!
" ugh! stop shouting already I have a headache now I almost couldn't hear everything you just said" Colton said with a frown " you're the one to complain? I've worked my ass off just to get this you better don't screw it up! and what, a headache? Angel tell me have you been drinking again? I told you everything would be fine if you did well, I'm sure not everyone fell for those shit they said about you okay?" with his voice taking a sharp turn when he heard about headache, Cyrus had always doted on Angel because he was three years older than Angel he had always considered Angel as his younger brother that was why he couldn't help but get angry at himself whenever he saw Angel depressed because of his reputation that was being tainted black
Colton soundlessly giggled at this it felt good to tease this elder brother of his but his smile quickly fell when he remembered something, the photoshoot!
" SHIT!" Colton coursed out loud which only made Cyrus more worried about him " little prince, it's okay if you're sick you don't have to come okay? wait for me I'm co....."
" NO!" Colton immediately rejected how couldn't he come? this photoshoot was for a new perfume, something Cyrus had painstakingly gotten for him after so much trouble because of his bad reputation, Angel had also promised to go but couldn't because of the incident last night destroying the last bit of good reputation and respect people had for him but now Colton was here although nothing happened last night so there was nothing to threaten him with, if he truly didn't go then people would still criticize him for being too arrogant and not putting the company in his eyes at all although he didn't care about his reputation it would affect his mission taking the job was the best choice and exactly what he needed right now so how could he not go?
" big brother don't worry about me I've been too childish in the past and cost you so much trouble, little Angie promise to be good from now on and do my job well!" the original owner of this body had indeed been very childish lowering his standard and degrading himself just to be in the same track with Tom was the most stupid thing to do just because he felt grateful, hearing the words from the boy made Cyrus stunned although it was something he had always wanted to hear he couldn't help but be shocked " Angel...."
" I'll be coming very soon bye" Colton hurriedly cut the call lest his elder brother starts nagging again, he checked the time and it was already 10:45 it was a long one hour ride to the company from here! rushing to the mirror to see if it was okay to go with the clothes he was wearing
A black leather mini skirt that stop above his knee, a white crop top and a plain black leather jacket, this was the clothes Altair had bought for him, he looked down at his snickers and at the row of high heels that where of different types and sighed of course he would like to wear the snickers but he also wanted to wear the heels to complete his looks he picked the less intimidating one there a black heels with a silver stone on it, his hair was tied up in a ponytail and fell down smoothly on his back with some hair strands on his face, he was also wearing a small silver necklace and earrings, picking up a lip gloss from his bag applied it to his lips and.....yep! very lovely, he smirked time to go!
Calling his personal driver to pick him up he walked outside elegantly to the car waiting outside for him with the cat in his arms, the walk came so naturally that it made Colton surprised at Angel's talent.
Bang! " hey Mark!" he closed the door smiled at driver a man in his late 20s someone his Dad had sent to secretly protect him and also one of Angel's fans, the reason he wasn't there yesterday was because Angel told him off, mark smiled at him too or what he thinks was a smile because it was more like a cold sneer he was someone who liked being professional always and hardly smiled so conversing with someone like him was almost impossible making the long ride to the Company hellishly boring for Colton who wasn't the silent type, he closed his eyes and started bickering with the cat in his arms through mind link.
The car came to a stop in front of a large company " young master we are here " Colton opened his eyes immediately and looked out the window there were quite a few daring reporters standing at the gate trying to get some juicy news but where stopped by the security, immediately they saw his car they tried rushing at him instead but of course the security wouldn't let them harass any of SkyParadise Models, he sighed this was Angel's daily life picking up the black shade in his car he wore it before stepping down the car and immediately there were bursts of blinding camera light that made him feel thankful for the shade and made System Yue course as it hide it's little heads in it's host's arms " hah... much better!"
"Angel is it true that you slapped the female worker just because she accidentally spilled water on you?"
"Angel there are people saying you're secretly jealous of Tom please can you clarify us on this?"
" Angel ....." more and more ridiculous questions were thrown at him all about his scandals Colton sneered in his heart but still put on a very captivating smile as he answered " so sorry guys but I have to go even though I'd have loved to clarify things here but no worries how about I leave a little nice gift box for y'all soon, bye~"
There was a pin drop silence after he said that, everyone was looking at him in a daze if it were before this little prince would have just arrogantly walked away without even looking at them which was a nice loophole for all his haters to criticize him but now not only did he smile at them but he also talked to them! and his word's ' leave a little nice gift box for y'all'
GASP! he actually dared! all the reporters looked at Angel with a bewildered expression which slowly turned into excitement but the person in question didn't bother to look at their expression as he walked inside the gate with his cat laying lazily in his arms with half lidded eyes
" Angel?" recognizing the voice Colton looked over to see a young man his age who had blonde hair and ocean blue eyes walking towards him with a surprised look, Colton inwardly sneered here comes our dear white lotus protagonist! " why are you here ?" Tom couldn't help but ask, he expected Lex to deal with Angel yesterday so he was surprised to still see him in one peace, did something happen? Tom shook his head in denial
" I have a schedule today why else would I be here?" Colton didn't have the time to deal with this premature white lotus " huh..?" Tom who wasn't expecting that answer was stunned for a second " I thought you wouldn't come today...."
" why wouldn't I ?" Colton immediately cut his statement not giving him any time to cook up any of his tricks Tom was bewildered he couldn't understand why Angel was acting like this today, could it be he already knew about his plans to get rid of him? no! Tom didn't believe it this idiot would never know! the possibility for that was zero out of ten completely impossible! he immediately opened his mouth to retort " I...."
"Angel!!" Colton looked back to see Cyrus walking towards him hurriedly, he smiled and looked down at his watch " hah see? still five minutes early, gotta go Tom see ya!" Colton left without even giving a second glance at Tom making him grit his teeth in anger, he came to the company very early today despite not having any morning schedule thinking Angel wouldn't be able to make it then he would snatch the opportunity instead but now the plan failed he could only grit his teeth in hatred and glare at Angel as he walked away, before he only needed to ask and Angel would do it but now he dared embarrass him in public! everyone who heard their little conversation gave him weird looks like he was some weirdo, he immediately left embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Colton walked towards Cyrus " little prince what did that bastard say to you?" Cyrus asked worriedly but didn't expect Angel to roll his eyes " what can he say other than trying to pit me into an edge with his words he's totally useless " Cyrus jaw dropped in shock! normally Angel would get angry at him for addressing Tom that way but right now he had actually agreed with him for once! " little prince are you sure you're okay?" he couldn't think of any other reason why Angel would act like this
Colton was speechless this elder brother of his was too much " I'm fine, tell me about the photoshoot" bringing the matter of the photoshoot up Cyrus face changed from worry to anger " those old fogey directors are too much! originally they wanted you to do the photoshoot alone but who would expect they would change their mind this morning?" Cyrus was fuming when he said this " so I have to do the photoshoot with someone else?" Colton frowned that wasn't in the plot " so who is it?"
" that's the problem! they wouldn't say anything when I tried asking!" Cyrus said helplessly " your reputation is already so bad we have to be careful from now on!" he continued Colton nodded " I understand, let's go!" they both walked inside there were three other Models inside too but Angel wasn't close to any of them so Colton didn't bother about greetings and walked straight to the photographer
" little prince! come sit here first your colleague would soon arive...." the photographer said nervously Colton felt uneasy who exactly was this person that could make one of SkyParadise best photographers so nervous? his questions were answered when he heard that voice that made his scalp ting
" I'm already here , no need for that!" everyone's eyes except Colton who was frozen in shock snap towards the door immediately " Mr CEO?!!"
" SHIT!" Colton gulped, don't fucking tell me...!
