Chapter 135: The Problem Getting Worse

Daren’s POV

"Ahahaha... I’m sure they’d rather see me with Daren, right?" Zach grabbed my hand when a presenter asked him about how many of my fans would rather see me with Zach or Ace.

However, at the same time, Ace tapped me on the shoulder and he said something equally stupid to this guy.

"I’m sorry but I think many would rather see me with Daren than with you. Because I’ve been seeing a lot of our movies lately," said Ace who seemed to be smiling even though I could feel the two men sitting on my right and left currently staring at each other as if they wanted to kill each other.

Why am I stuck in a situation like this!

I shouldn’t have accepted this offer at all!

Flashback

Two days ago, I was relaxing by the pool at my house with my mom. Mike came over and said there was a talk show offer for me.

"They invited you to come to their talk show," said Mike, who is now my manager.

So he manages all my work schedules nowadays.

"Oh really? What are they going to talk about and who are the guests besides me?" I asked, completely ignorant and even suspicious.

"They say it’s a secret guest. But you’re the main guest, this talk show will talk about the latest gossip of actors and actresses," he replied.

Hmn... New gossip, huh? I’m kind of unsure about accepting it. I’m not someone who cares much about gossip that isn’t even clear what it actually is.

Maybe that’s why I always miss the latest info about other actors and actresses. Should I just accept it?

"So what do you think? Do you want to accept this job, Daren?" asked Mike once again.

"Just take it, talk shows like that are a waste of time. But relaxing for a while is no big deal, right?" my mom asked while giving me advice.

What she said was true, I didn’t have any job this week. Instead of spending my time at home, I could join the talk show to earn some money.

I finally agreed to this without knowing what I would face after I accepted the offer that was a trap for me...

Flashback End

They invited Ace and Zach to this talk show to talk about our relationship. It turned out that the gossip was about me. The two guys were arguing over who was more compatible with me and I was sure that after this the fans of each group would go crazy.

How could it’s not? The presenter seemed to be pulling the strings as she kept asking questions that provoked the emotions of each group of my fans. Moreover, this event is being held LIVE, is Victor watching it?

"What about you, Daren? Which of Zach and Ace do you prefer?" she asked me.

Why do you have to ask something like that? Do you want to create bloodshed between my fans?

But I couldn’t help but answer that question. Although I don’t really want to answer it because it is very risky for my fans who are divided into two.

"I can’t choose between the two of them because they are the best actors I’ve ever met. Both Ace and Zach are struggling actors in their own right and we enjoy every bit of filming we do together," I replied, looking for an excuse to make the presenter and the people watching believe that I was on neutral ground and not voting for either of them.

"Very good answer, Daren. But in the future who would you choose to do a movie with as your partner? Would it be Ace or Zach?" the presenter asked again which drove me absolutely crazy because he seemed to be forcing me to choose one of the two.

I didn’t understand whether it was a question that had been prepared by her team or a question that she had made up herself that she wanted me to answer one of the two of them.

I paused for a moment thinking about my answer so that I wouldn’t get it wrong and make me look more favorable to one of them. I didn’t like either of them and I just wanted Victor. I hope he doesn’t watch this talk show and doesn’t watch the recorded version.

I didn’t want him to see that I was forced to answer to one of the two disliked men.

He’ll be so jealous when he sees this. And I can imagine what he’ll be like when my birthday comes and he comes to scold me.

"I don’t know who to answer to, because they’re both very good actors. But I would like to be in the same movie as them both period because it would be more fun if we did it together," I replied, finally relieved that I was able to answer correctly.

Luckily the presenter seemed satisfied with my answer. So did the rest of the crew. But not Ace and Zach who looked dissatisfied and wanted me to choose one of them. But I didn’t care about the look in their eyes and focused on what I was saying at the moment.

Finished with the shooting of the Talk Show, I immediately left thle shooting room together with Mike because I felt that I shouldn’t be there for too long, between the two men who were still arguing about the following.

"They both seem to not want to lose to each other. And they feel like they know you better because they’ve been in movies with you for so long. I don’t know why they would do that right in the middle of a live shoot," Mike said to me, who responded with a nod of his head.

I sighed and said, "Just let them fuss about something that doesn’t matter. Now that we’re leaving, let’s go get a cheeseburger because I’m really hungry," I asked her.

We then went to the car park to leave the studio where I was filming earlier. It was already 11:30pm, so we better hurry home after buying some food.

However, just outside the studio, I saw Ace and Zach standing in front of me as if asking for an explanation from me. What else did they really want? I just wanted to go buy some food and get home quickly so I could rest.

"Daren, we have one question to ask you!"
