Behind the Stars

Chapter 3

The PR department was overwhelmed with calls after the Office of Transportation Security expressed their interest on Bright being an ambassador for transportation security following the incident on the airport when Bright came back.

This is good news for Phosphene as a company, but it only means more work for Win. The company has not decided yet if they were to take on the offer, but the default was to accept it. He hasn't heard from P'Jennie, Off, or the demon child himself so Win didn't really know.

He was going to find out in that meeting later. That means, he must put on hold all the broadcasting companies bombarding his department for now.

"Film, Love, and Tu, please weather all the calls for now since the decision is not out yet and the ambassadorship contract sent by the OTS has yet to be reviewed by our legal team. For now, we should focus on how to better Bright's image in line with this offer. I'm thinking of calling Khao about articles on Bright, but do you have any ideas?" Win asks his people.

"I think articles from their company would suffice for now since we don't know if we are going through with it. At least, there would be more space to decide for us if ever. Unlike if we push the idea immediately, we would be trapped in it." Tu, the intern, contributes.

"Nice thinking, Tu! I'll update you guys after the meeting on what to do. I'll call Khao and proceed to the meeting room now. Thanks, girls!" Win dismisses himself.

Film and Love were looking at Tu like proud mothers. The intern was really learning her ways into the PR department.

"Nice work, kiddo!" Film tells her and Tu shyly smiles at the compliment.

Win was walking on the hallway of Phosphene Ent.'s office and he spots the humungous portrait of Bright. P'Jennie put up pictures of her celebrities in the hallway of her company and Bright's was in the middle of it all. He sneers at the image before him. The bastard had that staple celebrity smile on his face that Win wants to rub off.

Win takes one last look before dialing Khao's number. He picks up after two rings.

"Hello, Khao? I'm gonna ask for a favor, yes, about the OTS offering Bright an ambassador title. Can you please write an article about his trip to Africa? I think we can incorporate his experiences with being an ambassador of transport security. Do you think it's a reach? You can do it? Of course, Khao, I'll give you some exclusive scoop about his travels? Thank you so much, Khao! I owe you." Win says on his phone.

A wild Bright appears to surprise him.

"Good to hear Manager Win taking care of me after saying we're not close enough to stay in touch." Bright tells him teasingly.

"If it wasn't opposing to my job and this company's code of ethics, I would have told Khao to do a smear campaign on the nuisance that makes the PR manager's job so much harder than it already is. In fact, said nuisance has some pretty embarrassing stuff that only the PR manager knows so if I were the nuisance, I would keep my mouth shut for the rest of the day. Or life." Win replies sarcastically while he has his million dollars smile on.

Bright was a fool for that smile so like a child getting scolded by his parents, he acts as if he was zipping his mouth. Of course, it wasn't just the smile, Win was acting stressed. It was subdued for people not to see but then again, Bright and Win are known to keep their enemies closer. If Win was a master on the education of Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree, Bright was a master on the education of Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn.

So Bright opted not to fight back. They walked together to the meeting room silently.

Win sat on his default seat while Bright was sat next to his manager, Off.
