Dernière mise à jour:
2023-06-15 19:36:51The music filled the air as the Gala shifted into full swing. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement and the energy of the guests. After the successful photo shoot with Ren, I found myself drawn towards the crowd, eager to experience the vibrant ambiance.
Katy was approaching me with a mischievous grin. "Haze, I need to interview you and Ren about his latest collection, the 'Celestial Symphony.' It's absolutely breathtaking, and everyone is dying to know more about the inspiration behind it." Ren and I knew Katy for a while, we bumps at each other almost every event Ren brought me. So it was hard to not know her and her character is usually comfortable to be with so you can say that we are friends.
I chuckled, appreciating Katy's enthusiasm. "Of course, I'd be happy to talk about Ren's incredible work. Lead the way."
We made our way to a quieter corner of the venue, where Ren was surrounded by a small group of admirers. Katy cleared her throat, signaling for attention. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? I have the esteemed pleasure of introducing Haze and Ren, the dynamic duo behind the mesmerizing 'Celestial Symphony' collection."
Applause filled the space as all eyes turned towards us. I glanced at Ren, his eyes twinkling with anticipation. We exchanged a knowing smile before Katy began her interview.
Katy: "Ren, your latest collection, 'Celestial Symphony,' is truly remarkable. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind it?"
Ren: "Thank you, Katy. The inspiration for 'Celestial Symphony' comes from a very personal place. Haze has been my closest friend, especially after the loss of my beloved one. She carries a presence that reminds me my beloved one, and this collection is a tribute to their shared spirit and the love they both embodied."
Katy: "That's incredibly touching. Haze, as Ren's dear friend and the muse behind this collection, how does it feel to know that your friendship have played such a significant role in inspiring these designs?"
Haze: "It's an honor, Katy. Ren and I have been through so much together, and our bond runs deep. Knowing that our friendship have influenced Ren's creativity brings a sense of warmth and purpose to my heart. 'Celestial Symphony' captures not only the beauty of the garments but also the enduring love and connection we share."
Katy: "It's evident that your friendship holds a profound significance. Can you elaborate on the creative process of bringing 'Celestial Symphony' to life?"
Ren: "Absolutely. When we embarked on this collection, I wanted to channel the essence of my beloved one. Haze has always been there for me, supporting and encouraging my creativity. Through our collaboration, we were able to make each design and creating a symphony of love and beauty."
Haze: "Ren's ability to translate emotions into his designs is truly remarkable. Through this creative journey, we sought to capture the essence of love and our friendship, weaving it into every stitch, every fabric choice. 'Celestial Symphony' stands as a testament to the enduring power of love and the beauty that can emerge from even the most challenging of circumstances."
The conversation continued, with Katy delving deeper into their creative process and the emotional significance behind 'Celestial Symphony.'
The conversation flowed effortlessly, with Katy skillfully guiding us through the interview. As we discussed the intricate details of the collection, the room seemed to be captivated by our words. I felt a surge of pride, knowing that Ren's talent was being acknowledged and appreciated by those around us.
As I mingled with the other guests, I couldn't help but notice Richard and Katy dancing together on the dance floor. It was a surprising sight, and a twinge of something unfamiliar stirred within me. I brushed it off, reminding myself that Richard was his own person, free to make connections and enjoy the evening.
Cain's invitation to dance had caught me off guard, but I knew deep down that it wouldn't have been appropriate. I politely declined, excusing myself from the bustling crowd. I made my way to the exit, feeling a mix of relief and unease.
As I settled into the plush seat of Ren's car, I let out a long sigh, the weight of the evening finally catching up with me. The city lights passed by in a blur as we drove through the streets, heading towards the sanctuary of my home.
I reached for my phone and typed a quick message to Ren, informing him of my departure. "Heading home," I sent, the simplicity of the words conveying my need for solace. I leaned back in the seat, closing my eyes, my mind still filled with the echoes of the Gala.
In the hazy realm between wakefulness and sleep, I found myself enveloped in a dream. A soft male voice whispered my name, "Haze." The voice felt achingly familiar, tugging at my heartstrings with a bittersweet longing. But as I tried to grasp the identity behind the voice, a sudden pang of sadness washed over me, clouding my thoughts.
I awoke with a start as Ren's driver announced our arrival at my apartment. Blinking away the remnants of sleep, I wiped a tear that had escaped my eye, my dream lingering in my mind. I expressed my gratitude to the driver and stepped out of the car, taking a moment to collect myself before entering my home.

My Annoying Roommate Chapter 11: At the gala… (Richard's POV)
Haze's dress for the gala was a breathtaking creation in a mesmerizing sky-blue hue. The gown gracefully cascaded down to the floor, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. Its flowing silhouette accentuated Haze's slender figure, hugging her curves in all the right places. Adorned with delicate diamond embellishments, the dress shimmered and sparkled as if reflecting the starry night sky. The diamonds formed intricate patterns along the bodice, adding a touch of glamour and capturing the light with every movement.

The sheer material gently billowed behind Haze as she moved, adding a touch of enchantment to her every step. The dress was carefully crafted to accentuate Haze's slim waistline, drawing attention to her toned belly. It showcased her figure with grace and confidence, highlighting her natural

As the night grew late and the exhaustion from dancing started to set in, Katy and I sought solace on the couch. It was a surprising connection we had formed as if we had been friends for ages. Laughter filled the air, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort in Katy's presence. As I glanced around the room, my eyes searching for any sign of Haze, Katy's voice broke through the moment. "If you're looking for Haze, I think she's already made her way home. You know how she is, always slipping out of parties without anyone noticing," she said, with a hint of admiration in her voice. I nodded, realizing that Katy seemed to understand Haze in a way I hadn't expected. "Seems like you know Haze quite well," I remarked, feeling a touch of envy creeping in. Katy giggled, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "Oh, is that a hint of jealousy I detect?" she playfully teased, clearly enjoying the effect she was having on me. Flustered, I tried to brush off the notion. "Jealous? Why would I b

After the gala, I found myself buried in work, trying to catch up on all the tasks that had piled up during the event. With Ren taking a break from attending events, it meant a break for me as well. The success of Celestial Symphony had brought a wave of attention, with Katy's article capturing the essence of the gala and the presence of renowned fashion icons. Amidst the whirlwind, I stumbled upon a picture of myself from that night. It was as if I were looking at a completely different person, adorned with elegance and confidence. It reminded me of the transformative power of fashion and how it can bring out various aspects of one's personality. Interestingly, one noticeable change since the gala was Richard's attitude. He seemed to have become less persistent about me eating vegetables, perhaps understanding that everyone has their own preferences of likes and dislikes. However, his enthusiasm for tomatoes remained unchanged, still insist on them being the best fruit or vegetable,

After the Gala, I couldn't help but notice that Haze seemed busier than ever before. As if she was trying to get buried under her work to hide from something. There was a sense of urgency in her actions. She looks pale and tired, and concerned for her well-being, I often insisted that she should eat tomatoes. The fresh tomatoes from my family's farm were delivered from my home. Meanwhile, an unexpected event occurred between me and Katy. We began to grow closer, forging a friendship that surpassed my initial expectations. We found ourselves chatting regularly, engaging in lively conversations, and even talking on the phone almost every day. Katy's energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and I found comfort in her presence. Her articles, filled with captivating stories and accompanied by impressive photography, never failed to catch my interest. In fact, she even shared a few pictures from the Gala, including one where I was sitting near the bar, as well as stunning captures of Ren's ex

As I stepped into our apartment after the delightful date with Katy, a sense of calmness enveloped me. The evening had gone well, and I couldn't help but feel a growing connection with her. But a chilling scream pierced through the air, sending shivers down my spine. The sound was unmistakably Haze's voice, filled with terror and anguish. Without a second thought, I dropped everything and rushed toward her room, my heart pounding with concern. Reaching their room, my worries intensified as I found the door slightly ajar. I pushed it open gently, my worry growing with each passing second. It was unusual for Haze to leave their room unlocked, especially considering the importance they placed on personal space. There, in the dimly lit room, I saw Haze on her bed, her body trembling and tears streaming down her face. It was evident that she was having a terrible nightmare. She was crying out in her dreams, her voice filled with desperation, 'Don't die, Ricky. Please don't leave me alone.

"Hey, Ricky," I greeted my brother in our usual manner as he sat on the sofa, engrossed in watching the news. "Hey, my sunshine, what's your plan for today?" he asked, his voice filled with the warmth and familiarity that I had grown to love. "I think I'll stay at home and work," I replied, feeling a sense of contentment wash over me. I didn't want anything to disrupt this happiness. "In that case, I'll go grocery shopping. Let's have dinner together and invite Ren over," Ricky suggested, a wide smile stretching across his face. There was a part of me that sensed something wasn't right, urging me to stop him. But I couldn't say a single word to express my concerns, and my body felt frozen in place. Ricky looked at me, his eyes filled with love, and said, "I'll be back." As the door closed behind him, I heard the screeching sound of a car followed by a deafening crash and someone's scream. In that moment, I cried out, "Don't die, Ricky. Please don't leave me alone," my voice echoing t

“Who would have imagined that I would see the last of my most precious and important person on that fateful day? It was a day of rain that later turned into storm. My brother, Ricky, was ecstatic to introduce me to his partner, Ren. Little did I know that by "partner," Ricky meant a life partner rather than a business associate. Ricky had always been a bit different from others, but in my eyes, that made us inseparable siblings, close friends, partners in crime, and the only family we had left.”“According to rumors at the orphanage where we grew up, our parents divorced and left us there to start new lives. I was only three years old at the time, so I have no recollection of our parents' faces. However, Ricky was always there for me. Our lives at the orphanage were far from ideal, but Ricky constantly reminded me that it could have been worse.”“When Ricky turned 18 and left the orphanage, he made a promise to come back for me when I reached the same age. Two years later, true to his

After my meeting with my editor Henry, I made my way to Tyto Corporation. Cain had invited me to join him for lunch, so I headed towards the bus stop near the corporation. As I approached the bustling area, I was greeted by a skyline dominated by towering buildings reaching towards the sky. The city exuded an atmosphere of ambition and efficiency, with people dressed in sharp suits hurriedly making their way to various destinations.In our country, three major corporations hold significant influence, their operations spanning across numerous industries.

I 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
My Annoying Roommate Chapter 26: Unspoken games (Maximillian's POV)
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.

My Annoying Roommate Chapter 25: Night, we waited (Author's POV)
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.
My Annoying Roommate Chapter 24: "Night Time Parade" (Haze's POV)
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
My Annoying Roommate Chapter 22: Plan (Haze's POV)
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
My Annoying Roommate Chapter 21: Board Meeting (Haze's POV)
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
My Annoying Roommate Chapter 20: Moving forward (Haze's POV)
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
My Annoying Roommate Chapter 19: Cain's confession (Richard's POV)
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
