So how many times you accidentally end up having an annoying roommate? It's a story about Haze and Richard. In life unexpected things are expected, and we do our best to deal with it. How about this two? Can they deal with this unexpected roommate thingy? Let's find out
View MoreI stood at the bar, my fingers absently swirling the contents of my drink. The buzz of the event, the laughter, the clinking of glasses, all seemed distant to me. I had been dragged here by Katy—again. While she thrived in this world, surrounded by designers, models, and critics, I felt like a fish out of water. I was a writer, a man who preferred the quiet hum of my thoughts, not the noise of high society.Kathy was beside me, with her eyes scanning the crowd as she sipped her champagne, clearly in her element. She was dressed to impress, as always, effortlessly catching the attention of anyone who happened to look her way.Kathy: “Richard, look over there.”She nodded subtly toward a figure across the room. I followed her gaze, and immediately, my attention was pulled to Haze. Standing tall in her celestial-blue gown, Haze drew every eye in the room. It wasn’t just the dress—it was the way she carried herself, confident y
I watched her from across the room, a study in movement and grace. The way she held herself—poised, cool, and effortlessly commanding attention—wasn't something I encountered often. At first glance, I thought she could have been just another model draped in one of Ren’s designs, but there was something different about her. Something that caught my eye and refused to let go.She wasn’t just beautiful. She was a statement.I asked one of the fashion critics, “Who is she? That model who was wearing the key design of Ren?” He was in the field quite long and follows Ren, “Oh that? That’s Haze, Ren’s muse”“Muse, that’s interesting” As I was about to approach to her when she was sitting at the bar, there was the man standing beside her—Cain.It’s really hard not to notice the subtle way Cain positioned himself close to her, his stance protective, almost possessive. It wasn
The air was thick with anticipation as Ethereal Reverie unfolded under the dazzling lights of the grand venue. It was the biggest fashion event of the year, a gathering of the most influential designers, models, critics, and journalists from around the world. The energy was electric, a mixture of excitement and curiosity buzzing through the elegantly dressed attendees.Among the distinguished guests, Richard found himself slightly out of place, yet undeniably captivated. He hadn’t planned on attending, but Katy had worked her magic, successfully convincing him. Now, standing among the elite of the fashion world, he marveled at how much had changed. His writing career had flourished—his novel was gaining traction, his articles receiving widespread recognition, and he and Katy had even started co-writing pieces for fashion blogs. Today, however, he wasn’t just a journalist; he was here as Katy’s partner, experiencing this world through her eyes.
The morning after the board meeting, I hurriedly went to Ren’s atelier, the early sunlight casting long shadows across the quiet street. I knew this wouldn’t be easy, but I had made up my mind since I first saw Ren first time in his atelier. The” Night Time Parade” collection deserved to be seen by the world, and more than that—Ren deserved a second chance. This event, Ethereal Reverie, was the perfect opportunity not only to uncover Maximillian Duval’s true intentions but also to give Ren’s collection the recognition it had been denied.I stepped inside, met with the familiar scent of fabric and faint traces of cologne that still lingered in the air. The atelier was dim, and the usual vibrancy Ren exuded was absent. He barely glanced my way, his greeting a dull, “You’re early.”As I studied him, noticing the way he seemed lost in thought, his usual sharpness dulled. It had only been a few days since Ricky&rsq
The moment Haze and Mr. Howard disappeared into the building; Cain let out a low whistle beside me.“Well, that was unexpected,” he muttered, but this time, there was something different in his voice. Amusement. Intrigue. A flicker of excitement.I glanced at him. “What?”He grinned slightly, rubbing his jaw. “I was already interested in her, but this? This just made her a thousand times more interesting.”I rolled my eyes. “Cain, you just confessed to liking her. You don’t have to act like she’s some unsolved mystery.”“That’s the thing, though.” He turned to me, eyes gleaming. “She is a mystery. And I like mysteries.”I exhaled, shaking my head. “Let’s just go to your office.”He led the way, walking with a slight spring in his step that hadn’t been there before. Unlike me, who was still trying to process the shock of se
As Howard and I left the meeting room, the discussion still echoed in my mind. Maximillian Duval’s involvement in Tyto Corp was a complication, but complications could be turned into opportunities.“We need to find out exactly what he’s planning,” I murmured, walking toward the CEO’s office.Howard nodded, keeping pace beside me. “You have something in mind?”I nodded. “Maximillian Duval - he's recently returned from abroad, and if he's been acquiring shares of Tyto Corporation, that means he has a reason to do so."Howard hummed in thought. "And you plan to confirm his intentions how?""The upcoming fashion event" I tapped my fingers lightly against my wrist. ""It's the biggest of the year, sponsored by the Torrance family. The second biggest sponsor? The Duval family.”Howard raised an eyebrow. “And?”“It’s the perfect place to meet Maximillian in a settin
When Howard and I entered the meeting room, only a few board members were present—Dr. Michael Raymond, Omar Tyson, Sophia Carter, and Derek Vaughn.Since most of the major shareholders were in this room, we began without delay.As I made my way to the CEO’s chair, I noticed the subtle shifts in their expressions. Omar’s brows furrowed, Sophia’s lips parted in barely concealed surprise, and Derek, ever composed, merely adjusted his glasses. Only Michael and Howard remained unaffected. Until now, only a select few had known the truth about my existence.Once seated, I turned to Mr. Derek Vaughn, our legal advisor. “Mr. Vaughn, please start the meeting.”Derek nodded, flipping open a file. “The issue we are facing is the sudden acquisition of Tyto Corp shares by an unknown entity. Based on the transactions traced so far, we believe that the purchases are being made through offshore accounts and intermediaries. Howeve
I felt surprisingly refreshed after eating the breakfast Richard had prepared for me. It was a small victory, considering my deep-rooted aversion to tomatoes. Ever since Ricky's death, anything red had become a symbol of pain and loss. I had developed a strong aversion and even felt physically ill at the sight of anything red. My therapist believed it was a manifestation of my PTSD, and facing it head-on would help me heal, but I had avoided confronting the painful truth about Ricky's accident.As I reflected, I couldn't shake the unsettling feeling surrounding Ricky's presence at the scene of the accident. It was puzzling and didn't quite add up. Why was he there in the first place? The more I dwelled on it, the more the pieces of the puzzle seem to be missing.As I was lost in my thoughts, a sudden phone call interrupted me. Glancing at the screen, I recognized the number and knew I couldn't refuse due to the respect. "Hello, Howard. Did something happen?" I answered
Cain's sudden confession caught me off guard, stirring up a mix of emotions within me. In our almost four months of living together, I never anticipated feeling jealous of Haze, and the events of last night only intensified my confusion. It made me realize that I wanted to protect Haze from everything, even from my own best friend. I couldn't fathom how Haze would react if she were to hear Cain's confession, but for my own part, I wasn't pleased with this unexpected development.Cain noticed the lack of happiness on my face in response to his confession. He asked me with concern, 'Are you okay, Richard? Did something happen between Katy and you?' His question hit me like a slap in the face, reminding me of Katy, my girlfriend whom I had met at the gala. Katy is a remarkable woman – intelligent, beautiful, and captivating. She embodied everything a man could wish for. Yet, when it came to matters concerning Haze, I found myself forgetting about Katy entirely.Cain
I'm Richard Carter, a writer for a newspaper, magazine, and web novel. I write romance novels that you may come across everywhere – stories where a guy meets a girl in a really unexpected way and they fall in love in the end. However, what I'm about to share with you is not a novel. At least, if it were a novel, it wouldn't be about me; it's about my annoying roommate. It all started four months ago when I was having a meeting with my editor at the publishing company. It was supposed to be just like any other regular meeting I had with him, discussing what to write next. While waiting for him, I found myself in the office lounge where employees were taking their coffee breaks. They offered me something to drink, but I politely declined. I decided to utilize the time to continue writing my ongoing web novel. It had garnered quite a good number of readers, and they were eagerly anticipating the next update later today. Just as I finished writing a chapter, my editor returned and invited...
