“Ok. So, this is how it’s going to work. You’re going to have to juggle all three guys, which is going to be very tricky. However, don’t worry, they know that they’re not the only one using your service,” Justin explained. “What does that mean? They know that I have other clients?” I asked. “Exactly. Although by confidentiality, you and I can’t tell them who the other clients are. That’s a rule…by the way…” Justin warned. “I see…” I replied with an understanding nod. “You will split your time in each week between the three guys. 2 days per guy, Mondays to Saturdays and you have Sunday off. How you split the days is up to you and your guys but to start off you will spend 2 days with Adrian, then 2 days with EROS and then 2 days with Brandon, in that order,” Justin explained. “Is there a particular reason for the order?” I asked curiously. “No. That’s just the order that the contracts were signed. First come first serve basis. Fair and square,” Justin replied with confidence. “Ri
“Not at all. The time is perfect,” I said before smiling at him. “Great. Let’s go. I’ll show you around. This hospital isn’t unique or anything and the work that I do might be boring for you…” Adrian said. I appreciated the effort he was putting in to manage my expectations. However, I was eager to learn more about him and I was sure that there would be many interesting new things for me to learn. “Don’t worry. I like learning new things and I’m sure that your day isn’t as boring as you make it sound,” I replied cheerfully. Adrian led me around the hospital, and I could tell by the way that the staff stopped to greet him that he was well respected and well-liked by everyone. Adrian attracted a lot of attention and because he seems so humble, he probably doesn’t even realize it. Maybe it’s because I’m a woman but I was more than conscious of the eyes of the other women on us as we walked side by side through the hospital. I wouldn’t say that the cold stares from the nurses and oth
“This is my office. Sorry if it’s a little messy…” Adrian said as he led me into his office. Although he mentioned that his office is messy, his office is anything but. It was clean and well organized. As I was looking around the large room, Adrian had shrugged off his doctor gown and placed it on a coat hanger. I turned around and saw him putting on a grey suit that matched his pants instead. “Switching modes?” I asked. “Yes. Maybe you’ve already figured but my main job here is managing the business. I do work as a doctor sometimes, but I rarely get to do that anymore…” Adrian said with slight regret in his voice. Adrian had a different vibe now that he was in a suit instead of the doctor uniform. It was a pleasant change. I wondered how he juggled between the two hats, and I had a feeling that I was about to find out. “I have a couple of meetings today with the management team and then late in the afternoon a VVIP patient is coming in,” Adrian explained his schedule for the day
“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
His hands started applying some medicine on my sprained ankle before he started wrapping tape around my ankle. “Thank you, Adrian,” I thanked him after he was done. “If it swells up, I’m going to get you to take medicine for it,” he warned sternly as he got up. “I’m sure it’ll be fine soon,” I said as I smiled up at him.Adrian looked down at me from where he was standing right in front of me before he sighed loudly. It was my first day working for him and I’m already causing him so much trouble and concern. “You don’t need to tend to me next time, you know. I know you’re busy so it’s fine if you get the other doctors to do it. You should only treat VVIP patients, right?” I said half teasingly and half seriously. “Who says you’re not a VVIP patient?” he teased me back before he reached out a hand and placed it firmly on my shoulder. “Am I as important as a minister now?” I asked with a small laugh. “You’re way more important,” Adrian replied. The serious tone in his voice and
“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
I smiled professional and the Mega-X brand team members introduced themselves to us. At that moment, EROS got out of the car and came to stand by my side. “I’m EROS. It’s an honor to work as the face of your brand for this season. I am looking forward to working with everyone,” EROS said kindly before beaming his superstar smile at everyone. The man standing next to me right now was clearly EROS in professional mode. He was friendly, humble, professional, and extremely charismatic. He was nothing like the taciturn man with the dark and depressing aura from before. It was like he had changed into a completely different person from the moment that he got out of the car. “Umm…W-We look forward to working with you too!” the head of the Mega-X team managed to say after stammering a couple of times. I guess EROS does have that impact on people. We were led inside the studio before EROS, Mark and I were led to EROS’s dressing room. “They’ll dress him up for the shoot. We don’t have to d
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
