Lake Or No Lake, You Mean Nothing To Me.

Alistair heaved a heavy sigh, his eyes following Owen's retreating form as he entered his room.

"He's too naïve." He muttered under his breath, his hand coming up to rub his forehead. "What am I going to do with him?"

As if his prayers had been answered, his phone suddenly buzzed, and his boss's name lit up on the screen.

'Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.' He thought, picking the device and answering the call.

"Yes sir?" His voice was stern, and he stood straight, like he would if he was speaking to him in person.

"Is the rumor true?" The voice of the CEO of SG Entertainment boomed.

Alistair flinched at the harshness of his voice. "Not at all." He persuaded, wishing the CEO didn't hear how his voice dipped when he lied. "You know the press is, Sir."

The other end was silent and Alistair wiped the bead of sweat forming on his forehead,

At last, the CEO spoke. "Give the phone to him.

His demand caught Alistair offguard, "Pardon?"

"I know you're in his apartment, so before I come over there, give him the fucking phone." He repeated, this time with more venom Alistair swallowed and glanced in the direction Owen's bedroom. Just then, the male's head stuck out. "Everything alright?" He questioned his manager.

Alistair hesitated, but knowing what was good for Owen, he nudged the phone towards him.

"Who?" Owen asked once be understood his gesture. But Alistair remained silent.

Owen sighed and took the device, bringing it to his ear. "Hello?"

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds before Owen heard the familiar voice. "Owen, are you having fun? Ruining my company's image?"

Clenching his jaw and unclenching it at the anger brought by the ridiculous question. Owen reminded himself that the CEO of SG entertainment was always one to easily believe rumors and that aside, he needed something from him..

The CEO of SG entertainment was the very same person he wanted to go and visit. The one person who despised him yet was the only person capable of smoothly fixing this situation

"Not at all, Sir," Owen replied, his voice calm and collected, a complete contrast to the raging inferno within. "The rumors are just the usual lies the press spreads."

"Are they really?" The CEO challenged, and Owen gritted his teeth, trying his best to stay calm and collected.

"They are."
