Memory Lane (VegasPete)

Chapter 16

"The Theerapanyakun Drama : What's next for this ultra rich family?"

"Vegas Theerapanyakun was captured with a man and a child as his husband's extramarital affair scandal became public."

"Sources confirmed the man is none other than his ex-boyfriend before marriage, Pete Phongsakorn while the status of the child is still unknown."

"Apart from his attorney's statement about the Theerapanyakun holdings and Petrogun, the first son of The Theerapanyakun CEO has not said a word about marriage or the possibility of having a secret child outside of his legal marriage."

"Meanwhile, Tawan finally broke his silence after turning off his Instagram comment column after the divorce news by posting the picture with an interesting statement."

"The truth will be revealed soon."

"How bad is it?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Tin..."

Tin sighed loudly from the other side of his phone, "Few customers asked but they all knew the news was bullshit. Don't think about it too much."

"And?" Pete pressed him, "Don't try to hide anything from me. I know the media and paparazzi have flocked to city."

"Well... It wasn't that bad at first. They asked about you to our employees who were on your side by the way and I came out warning them not to go inside the bakery." Tin explained nonchalantly, "But there are more and more of them and they are starting to interfere with public roads, so the authorities asked us to close early."

"Okay... What else?" Pete muttered under his breath, biting his lip as he tried to stay calm. Tin was silent for a moment, a sign Pete knew he was hesitating to say something, "Tin, what else?"

"I'm sure it's nothing but a rep from the company we have a contract with just asked me to meet them tomorrow." Tin answered hesitantly.

"No, not the contract." Pete ruffled his hair in frustration, "Sorry, Tin. This is totally Tawan's method, trying to make me lose my job. I can't believe I fell for the same trick again."

"He isn't successful then." Tin replied while laughing, "You will not lose your job and never will. To hell with him."

But Pete still felt bad. He fled the city and hide safely in the capital while Tin and the others must face the consequences.

"I will return to the city tomorrow morning. Let me talk to the company, this is my responsibility."

"Are you crazy? You can't come back here!" Tin called out, "It's okay Pete. Tay said the company probably just wants an explanation since Theerapanyakun is such a big name."

"But the bakery is under me and you, not Theerapanyakun."

"Well, not anymore since the sweet pictures of your little family appeared in the media." Pete could imagine Tin rolling his eyes, "You have to realize that you can no longer separate yourself from that family. You even live in their main mansion!"

"Damn, you're right..." Pete said exasperatedly, "I'll call you tomorrow, Tin. Thanks for doing this."

"Yup, say hello from me to Venice and Vegas!"

Pete hummed and hung up the phone with a loud sigh. He threw his phone on the bed and sat on the edge holding his head depressingly.

He knew the photos would be a nightmare for him. Not minutes after they saw the pictures on TV, Vegas and Kinn immediately called their PR director to make sure the story was covered. But they lived in the social media era. Even though they managed to get a big news company not to publish the photo anymore, it had been circulating on social media and of course on the original source of the photo itself.
