I was scrolling down on my smart phone to check some posts on social media. I can't see the pictures taken when I was in the club with that mysterious man. I sighed with relief and I turned to the crystal window. It's blurry because of the rain, I got up and went to the kitchen to make coffee.
I sighed again because I was bored here in the condo. I have been in jail for several days. I don't know what I'm going to do here in the condo. I have also left many jobs because of the problems I had. After I finished drinking my coffee, I went to my room. I have nothing to do but stare at my smart phone all afternoon.
It's eight in the morning. I just woke up. The bad thing is, if I sleep again, my body is really looking for a job. I opened my smartphone and logged into my social media accounts again.
Is this all I'll do all day?
Until someone came across my news feed, a woman streaming a game. Many people are watching her. Actually, I also play online games, but because I'm a busy person, I don't play much now.
I turned to my PC that had been displayed on my desk for several months. I haven't even been able to open and analyze the system on my PC.
I got out of bed and went to my desk. I plugged in the PC and turned it on. The PC is working fine. I downloaded games that I used to play that are still popular. And I did research on how to start streaming. I download software for streaming. After that, I created a gaming account on my social media platforms.
I'm done with setting up my live gaming. I get my headphones and look at the camera to test if. I'm not lagging.
I post the link of my live streaming to my official page. I opened the game and logged into my account. Then I clicked the live button to start the live streaming.
I can't stop myself from being excited. This is the first time live streaming on a social media platform. Yes, my matches or races are also live on online platforms, but it's a different feeling if you do it yourself. I greet the viewers who are watching live, others just entered. I was shocked to see that the viewers immediately reached 1k even though I hadn't even started playing.
Live streaming is like this, even if I don't become a car racer, it's still a good career investment. But car racing is really my passion. No matter what happens, that's still my choice.
I started looking for a match. While waiting, I read the comments first.
'Who is the man with you in the picture which is circulating on social media? '
And followed by the same question in the comment section.
I just stared at their comments. I didn't know how to answer. All I know is that the issue has subsided. I didn't expect anyone to remember that.
I bit my lip and ran my fingers through my hair. I smiled at the camera and answered their questions.
"You know guys, let's talk about the circulating picture of me with a guy. It's better not to gossip, because I don't want to talk about such things. I am a private person, especially when it comes to my family or my love life. Since you know that, I haven't heard of anyone dating. I understand that your reaction is the same. Let's not talk about it, because it's hard for the paparazzi to attack me outside. I just want to say that I haven't been out of the condo in days because of the media and paparazzi outside." I paused talking when I found a match. I clicked accept and looked at the camera again.
"I hope the issue I have now will subside completely. "
I read something that a famous business man was with me in that picture but I just ignored it because I was about to start playing.
I played games all day and I was happy when my gaming page on social media immediately reached 100k followers.
When I finished streaming, I threw myself in bed and looked at the ceiling. I never expected that I had the potential to become a streamer. I guess I can't continue this because of being a car racer. My schedule is a bit hectic every day. When I get home, I just go straight to sleep sometimes or maybe I'm at the club with Daniel.
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard my phone ring. I immediately took it from the night table. I looked around to see who was calling.
It was Randy.
I immediately answered his call.
"Hello? You called? "
"Red, what got into your head to make you think like a streamer?! "He said angrily.
I bit my lower lip, I pissed off my father-like brother.
"Chillax, what's the big deal there? I'm just bored, I don't know what to do here in my condo. I just want to at least try it. Why are you so angry, brother? " I told him.
I heard him sigh loudly on the other line. He seemed to calm himself down, then he spoke in his calm voice.
"Why is there so much to do? Why did you think of doing that? Your problem won't be over yet. What if reporters rush you to your condo?"He said problematically.
I sigh,
"Brother, what should I do? To sit here in my room all day because of my issue. Honestly, I want to go back to work. You know I have a tournament next month. Do they care if I'm dating a guy, is it such a big deal because they just saw or heard that I'm with a guy? For god's sake, for once, I can be a normal person. Just once! " I uttered.
I heard the long silence on the other side. And he cleared his throat,
"I know that you are struggling with your career because it is also a result of losing your privacy in public. Your issue is now a different matter. According to my source, the man in the picture was not a random person." I frowned at what he said.
"Why? Did you already recognize the man with me in the picture? " I asked.
"Not yet, " he answered.
"Why did you say that man was not just someone?"
"That's just what daddy told me earlier. "
"If so, what type or status of life does that man have? "
The issue that I have now may not be a big deal with the man, since I don't see his face in the picture that was circulated in the past.
"You have implicated the son of a famous business person."
"What? Son of a famous business man? "
"You heard it, right?" I sighed.
"Yes, it won't cause any trouble, right? "I asked him with concern.
I was just worried about the image of our family company when I implicated the son of one of my grandfather's business rivals. I know how strict a grandfather is when he comes to us, his grandchildren. And how he takes care of our family's reputation. This will bring a big scandal to my family if, by chance, one of the stoves in the business is involved in the issue I have now.
"I don't know, Red. I just want to find out who daddy is referring to. For now, don't go live streaming while Daniel and I will review what you were doing earlier. "
I leer my eyes in nowhere.
It's another boring day.
"Alright, I won't be live streaming tomorrow. " I said lazily.
"Okay, just call me later. I still have a meeting. Behave yourself in your condo first. If you have a problem, call me right away. " he instructed.
"Okay~" And he hung up.
I'm just waiting for five o'clock in the afternoon. I cooked my dinner. I'm tired of ordering food from fast food restaurants. So I thought of eating home-cooked meals. After I finished cooking, I decided to eat in the living room so I could watch TV.
I turned on the TV and news came to me. And I saw my face on the screen.
Not again!
"Red Dominggo's fans and supporters enjoyed her gaming streaming earlier. He just created a gaming page and immediately got 100k followers in just one day. Her statement on the spreading issue about the picture that spread on the internet that she was with a man was, 'let's talk about the circulating picture of me with a guy. It's better not to gossip, because I don't want to talk about such things. I am a private person, especially when it comes to my family or my love life. Since you know that, I haven't heard of anyone dating. I understand that your reaction is the same. Let's not talk about it because it's hard for the paparazzi to attack me outside. I just want to say that I haven't been out of the condo in days because of the media and paparazzi outside'."
I winced at the news I saw.
Is that right?
Are people really that gossipy these days?
I was about to turn off the TV because I lost the desire to watch. Then suddenly a handsome face flashed on the TV screen. It looked serious and sophisticated. He was wearing a black tuxedo. I stared at him carefully. In the corner of my mind it says I saw him. His face is so familiar and I don't know where I've seen him.
It's like some kind of electricity that suddenly flashed the memories that happened one night when I was having sex with a man I didn't know.
The man's face still remained a blur in my memory.
I took the remote and quickly turned off the TV. I quickly went to the kitchen and drank water.
My God, what was that?
