Chapter 7

Caruss hurriedly grabbed his phone and ran away from him, while Greg was still stunned by the incident.

However, Greg couldn't move an inch after he saw Caruss in front. He only acted right after he heard some buzz from the paparazzi around him when he was also seen with Caruss. He then decided to chase Caruss afterward.

"He-hey!" He yelled in stupefaction.

As to Caruss, he was somewhat dodged so far that his hunk idol, Greg, could no longer catch up with him anymore. 

Greg then flounced as he rushed back to the cafe thinking that the jerk he so much scorned had just evaded him again.

"This is annoying! Damn! Why was I barely appalled after I caught him up? Why can't I even suitably stride, huh?" He indistinctly uttered words and raised a clenched fist as he entered back into his car, then just thought of going home.

Meanwhile, Caruss was sweaty and nervous as he scrambled back to the condo. While he was still in the lobby, the paparazzi who noticed him got managed to record him a live stream online.

 Although he doesn't care about it, what matters to him now is to move out from Gregory Wayle's target list since he was very worried to think that Greg might chase him forever.

While Greg was driving home, he suddenly received a bunch of notifications on his social media accounts, and there was a live stream about Caruss burst. 

Instead of heading home, he shortly altered his mind, reroute his car, and decided to come back into Caruss' condo again.

"This time, you will be going to witness how dangerous Gregory Wayle is. I will never forfeit the havoc you had made to me again, Caruss Pearson." His eyebrows came down and together, his eyes glared and there was a narrowing of his lips corners.

When Caruss entered the room, a bundle of nerves met him thinking that Greg might have followed him. His gestures began to get sweaty, as well as his heart rate, increasing, and he felt that fluttery nervous stomach too.

He has been perplexed at what to do. He was also ashamed to call Sheena since she was at work. So, he was determined to leave before Greg could catch up with him there.

"I shouldn't linger here, just in case something else happens to me. Greg was furious and I don't know what else could he do. It would be better if I should be the one to avert the trouble than to make the situation even worse," he was seriously bothered as he began packing his stuff. 

He shuddered as he move so quickly. He attempted to call Sheena a few times, hoping he can be helped but it didn't answer.

"Bud, please, pick up your phone. Answer me. I need you." He said to himself. He was also couldn't relieve the tension while he wandered around the corner.

In the meantime, Greg can't wait to see Caruss again. He truly could no longer wait to nip the cruelty and ferocity he carried just for him. 

When he got to the condo, he hurriedly went to the elevator. Also, fans who saw him dared to snap him a shot just to break the social media again while he was just impatient to strike Caruss later.

Suddenly, a bunch of posts popped up on Caruss's phone, and saw Greg who was coming to his room.

"What? Is this real?" His mouth goes wide open to the fullest extent and his forehead was pulled up greatly.

He was completely nonplussed by the sudden news. He then hastened his action to finally get an exit but unfortunately, he became more anxious when he heard a doorbell coming from the outside.

"Oh, no!" A big round on his mouth has formed while his eyes pulsated after he heard the buzzing door.

On the other hand, Greg's steps were speeding toward Caruss's room. He immediately remembered the moments he got drunk and when he was delivered there too. So, he was hopeful that he would be going to meet now the jerk he ever loathed.

When he arrived, he rang the doorbell several times. It can also be seen in his gestures that he was eager to confront Caruss, just to pay for the evilness it has been committed against him.

Caruss darting his eyes and having a swiveling head, his eyebrows were knitted together as he keep biting his lips. He wasn't sure what must he would do since Greg would surely catch him up.

 He also heard the fleetness ringing of the doorbell outside several times which had made him even more troubled. 

He was already sweating as he hurried to act and thought at first of peeking on it at the door, and he wasn't mistaken to see that it was truly Gregory Wayle who keeps chiming in the doorbell.

 Caruss now was even more scared to think that he was being cornered and had no other options to run away from him.

"Damn it! He shouldn't have caught me now. What am I going to do?" He raised a question to himself as his chest throbbed even harder.

Since no one even answered, Greg just managed to knock on the door. He was being quiet and seemed calm about what to do. As he said, Caruss shouldn't have noticed that he was finally there at the condo. But what he didn't know was that Caruss had already preceded him.

Greg was soon startled when someone finally opened the door and got even more surprised after seeing a trans woman wearing lingerie who has busted in front of him.

"Yes? What can I do for you...Mister?" The woman shortly asked him and even got to flirt. However, to disguise is the only thing that Caruss can do so that he might not get caught by Greg.

Caruss decided to change his customary dress and used Sheena's outfits, accompanied by an expensive wig just to furnish himself with a false appearance. In his new look, Greg couldn't truly catch him.

 Even though he was very scared, he tried to suppress his nervousness just to face Greg calmly and so he wouldn't notice.

Instead of answering, Greg entered the room without any hesitation and searched the whole corner. While Caruss, on the other hand, pretended he was frightened.

"Hey, what are you doing?" He gently interrogated a query and forcefully imitated a woman's voice.

Greg ignored him and even managed to look around.

"Where is he?" Greg asked by the time he realized that Caruss was not truly there.

"Huh?" Caruss acted as he seemed confused by Greg's concern. "He...who?" He further clarified and pretended that he did not know who was Greg looking for.

But, Greg directly just came closer to him and deeply peered from his head to toe. "Caruss Pearson. Where is he!" His deep audible breath showed eagerness in seeing Caruss.

"Uhm... Mister, I'm afraid to know that you entered the wrong room. There was no Caruss here, I'm the only one who lived here," Caruss was stammered in explaining to him and convinced him to just leave.

However, Greg just intently stared and got even more glare at him. Caruss then felt uncomfortable especially when their eyes had met again. 

"Oh, shit! I hope he doesn't recognize me now," Caruss said in his mind as he couldn't look directly at Greg.

"Are you kidding me, huh? I remember every corner in this room and I am so sure that Caruss was here too," Greg would excuse, grinding his teeth and suppressing his heating blood.

Caruss pushed him away and pretended to be innocent again. "I'm sorry? I don't know what you're talking about. Kindly leave this place before I call the guard?" He even got to command Greg.

"Just don't cover him, okay? Come on, get him out! Hey, Caruss Pearson, I know you're just hiding. Why don't you just come out and face me? Do not be cowardly to deal with all the nonsense stuff you did," Greg yelled as he wandered again to every nook of the room.

"Mister, do not cause a scandal here. If you have a problem with that person please don't get me involved. There are many things that I have to finish today and you're already bothering me," Caruss explained and even happened to be pleasing so that Greg would feel sorry for him and turn the conversation around.

Greg gently fled a very intense air from his breathing. His reaction also shifted after he heard the trans woman's reason. His forehead was no longer knit and seemed to have become calmer.

"I'm sorry. Maybe I entered the wrong room. I didn't mean to bother you," Greg softly replied as he turned at a low speed to move an exit. 

In Caruss's mind, he can't wait for Greg to finally leave out of the room. He must be careful and move to a place where he could peacefully settle in, to think that Greg might come back there at Sheena's condo, for times around.

He didn't say something instead let Greg just leave. To Greg, he was secretly flounced when he got out. He was very aggravated to think that he failed to confront the jerk he so much hate, a second time.

Caruss forthwith closed the door when his hunk idol fully disappeared from his sight. He had very rough and deep breathing due to the emotional restraint he had earlier.

 

He was still lucky to have avoided Greg, and now he must make sure that they would not be going to meet again.

"I badly need to find a place to settle as soon as possible. I know he wouldn't stop me until I can pay back about what I have done," he was uncertain what to do as he sat on the bed for a moment.

Suddenly, he was alarmed when he heard a buzzing sound. He just received another call from Sheena and was very worried when he was talked to.

"Hey, bud. I am so sorry for the calls I have missed. I have just got my break from the set. What happened? Is there a problem, huh?" He has

straightforwardly been asked by her.

"I should be the one who would apologize to you for what I caused. Bud, I think I don't need to stay here longer. I should leave now and find a place to move in. Greg came here and almost caught me, geez!" he promptly responded while his lips were stuttering and couldn't utter words naturally.

"What?" Sheena was shocked by what he had said. "Uhm... It's good that Greg didn't catch you. How about the accommodation that I'm telling you about yesterday? You can stay there for a moment."

"Oh, Sheena." Caruss sighed. "Don't worry, I'll update you once I move in, okay? Thanks for the offer but I have to leave now, " he insisted with a sinking heart.

"You have to be careful, buddy. I'm afraid that someone else might see you and follows you," reminded Sheena.

While he was busy putting things into his bag, without any delay, he just remembered what his stepmother offered him. Though he didn't want it at first, he couldn't do anything for the moment, so he quickly called her to talk.

"Caruss, my son. Why do you call? Is there a problem?" His stepmother's cold voice raised a question after picking her phone up.

"Ma? Can I visit the condo right now?" He asked in haste when he was leaving.

Eventually, Greg could not let go of his simmering anger. He went wild, unrestrained, crazy, and even enthusiastic. He truly went insane inside in his car to think that Caruss, the jerk, escaped his hands again.

"Ugh, fuck!" His eyes widened and his skin glistened with perspiration. 

"We will be going to meet soon, Caruss Pearson. Don't be complacent first since I will never be calm until I can make up for you," he then behave in a very uncontrolled way. 

He didn't know that the trans woman he talked with earlier was already Caruss. But for now, he can do nothing instead of heading home.
