Chapter 6: No Wasted Chance

3rd POV

Flashback

London 2002 - Gold Crown Studios

"Sir, do you have anything to say regarding the theft of €10,000,000 diamond snake top?"

"Some say you envy of Liza Dior, a celebrity who received more attention than you at the gala regardless of your status as Juliet the Drag."

"Rumors says the next season of Drag Rush will be canceled because of the theft, is it true the producer will scrap season 4 because of you?"

Romeo immediately shut the entrance door and was overwhelmed by those unneccessary questions from the press and gossip-hungry papparazzi. Then he looked at one of the company's producers and glared at him as he throw him a newspaper with a headtitle that enraged the man:

"The Damsel of Drag Desires Stolen Diamonds!"

"How many times do I have to keep repeating to you fools?! You know I did not do it!" Romeo slammed the front page on the counter in frustration, but the producer didn't seemed to be fazed at the situation.

"Honey, you were talking all that shit about what Dior wore when she's on the red carpet. We SAW the way how you look at her." Said one of the drag contestants.

Then another pointed at him while putting his hands on his hips, "I heard you used to work with some crimminal orgazation like the mafia or some shit, so I'm not even surprised. I knew something's off when you're a little TOO hot."

Romeo raised his eyebrow in confusion, ,"What kind of bullcrap rumor is that? Just because I'm attractive doesn't mean I'm some kind of lowly thief! Something that is over €10 million doesn't mean it makes a simple snake top look good! It makes those 'diamonds' look very...simple!"

"I'm not going to cancel the show." Announced the producer, then he continued, "There are also some of blogs and journalists who wants to express their interests regarding the theft and also gave negative criticism on the snake top. I doubt Romeo's even going to leave Drag Rush."

The drag contestants looked at each other in bewilderment, and then questioning the producer about his decision,

"Wait, so even if he did steal? You're not going to kick him out?"

"Uh uh! What if he's going after my looks next?!"

"Right! I have limited edition heels and there's no way I'm letting him take them! They're like the only perfect heels I have and I'm saving them for the finale!"

The producer shook his head in disagreement, "But with him staying on the show? Imagine a drag with a criminal record! The first one on the show perhaps!"

The red-haired man backed off upon hearing that idea, "Now wait a damn minute, you're saying Juliet have to lie on TV to make Drag Rush more interesting?! This is a reality-show, not a damn crime documentary!"

"An utterly horrid expensive top on the red carpet is a crime! Don't worry, I'll help come up with the script with the writers in less than a week!" Beamed the producer who doesn't seem to care of Romeo's disapproval.

"Controversity is one thing, but lie to make people how they see me I'm not?! The only crime I've ever committed is wasting my talent here blind! I may not have an easy background but that doesn't ever make me a thief! You can either continue or cancel the show without me! Ugh, fools."

Just like that, Romeo angrily stormed off, not hesitating to push the press out of the way, ignoring them.
