The paparazzi began to camp outside the company's headquarters the second the press release of Zac and Y/N's open marriage. The crowd multiplied after Y/N was photographed with Sebastian. It wasn't just the company, but the nightclub found more paps as well, so much so that Mike had to double security. Tickets had to be bought prior to showing up. If caught taking pictures, you were immediately escorted out.

Interviews were not just about upcoming movies or events, the open marriage and relationships were asked about as well. It wasn't like the people involved weren't used to the attention, it just wasn't a subject anyone wanted to discuss.

"Sebastian, let's talk about your night out with Y/N Efron..." a reporter said, causing the Romanian actor to blush while running his fingers through his hair, refusing to answer.

"Is Y/N okay with you being with Halston Sage?" another addressed Zac.

"Are you and Zac getting a divorce?" was probably the question Y/N received the most.

Even Rachel and Chris were being asked about the situation between their friends.

"Let me just say this on behalf of myself, my wife, and my friends. These are personal situations that only need to be understood by the people involved. Information about the situation will be released when they want to share more with you all. Please, respect everyone's privacy. Have a little decency," Chris responded during one of his interviews with a late-night talk show.

Tanya to Chris: Thanks, Evans.

Seb to Chris: You are the best, pal.

Zac to Chris: I owe you one.

Rachel to Chris: You're so hot!

Chris to Tanya: I got you, Lynny.

Chris to Seb: Well, I am the one who set you up with her.

Chris to Zac: You don't owe me anything.

Chris to Rachel: Show me how hot I am when I get home.

"MOM!" Joshua Efron called through his family home that afternoon.

"Joshua!" Y/N called back from the kitchen.

The young man entered the kitchen, finding his mother attending to his twin sisters, Olive and Emersyn.

"You and dad need to cool it," Josh scolded.

Y/N frowned at her son while trying to feed the girls a snack. "Excuse me, mister."

"The whole school has been talking about you and dad all week. Plus, the fact that you were seen with Mr. Stan on some date," Josh expressed, placing himself on a stool at the island.

"First of all, you need to lower your tone and lose the attitude when you talk to me. Second, what your dad and I do..."

"Effects me," Josh pointed out, planting his chin in his hand. "It effects all of us."

Y/N rolled her eyes. "I put you in a private school, so you wouldn't have to deal with all the gossip, and yet it still happens. I'm sorry."

"Were you really out on a date with Uncle Chris' friend?" Josh questioned, taking Emersyn's hand when she offered it to him.

Y/N gazed up at her almost fourteen-year-old son, who looked like her husband's twin. "Yes, it's nothing serious. It was one date," she promised him.

"Are you going out with him again?" the teenage boy continued to question his mother.
