It's Okay If You Forget Me

Chapter 10

Curiosity kills the cat.

It was Boss' turn to be curious. When the two men left, he couldn't silence his mind to thinking about Noeul's strange behaviour. He didn't leave right after but decided to trail behind them. He had enough time to stalk around a bit more, just to feed his curiosity.

Boss tiptoed behind and watched Noeul and Carl walked towards the office direction. Noeul was silent the whole time, and he noticed Noeul's hand was not in Carl's palm anymore. It relieved Boss in such a way.

They would turn to a direction when Noeul stopped walking.

He turned towards Carl and they seemed like in a staring contest.

"Stop doing it," Noeul's voice was low, and sounded cold.

"I'm sure you won't care,"

"I don't want you to act caring towards me, it's nauseating." Noeul folded his hands in front of his chest. "You can lie to everyone but not me," Carl rolled his eyes, smirking.

"Don't you worry about me acting. It's you who has to keep with me,"

"Scumbag." Noeul grumbled before he swung his legs again, leaving Carl behind.

Boss scrolled endlessly on his phone again. He Googled all sorts of news that could find him information about Noeul and his manager. There was little information about them, and even a handful of numbers for his manager.

As far as he read, Carl was the only manager that he had. Boss couldn't recall if Noeul had a different manager before when he left, because he was so consumed of hatred that he refused to know who Noeul was associated with. Even with the small numbers, there was none about Noeul and his manager's dispute. It was always with Carl's hand holding Noeul's, him standing close by Noeul, him smiling sweetly at Noeul (even if Boss' heart was tingled by the sly smile), and accidental photos of Carl in Noeul's public events.

Carl was more than a manager, Boss can conclude by the way Noeul acted towards him.

Didn't he the one who was on honeymoon? Boss massaged his chin, trying to figure out what Noeul told him and what's displayed in front of him. The information clashed and not in a very good way.

"What are you reading?" Net suddenly appeared. Boss already accustomed by his sudden emergence that he had no reaction at all.

"Nothing." Net jeered and peeked through what Boss was scrolling at.

"Why are you reading about Noeul?"

"Nothing." Boss kept scrolling through the press conference IG stories involving Noeul. There was presence of Carl.

"Nothing, my foot. Are you suddenly interested in your love life?"

"Not mine."

"Noeul's?"

"Shut up, I'm trying to regain info," Boss scolded Net nonchalantly. Net shrugged as it had always been a routine to quarrel with Boss.

"Are you trying to win his heart?" Net asked again, not caring if Boss is irritated with him or not.

"No, you think I have the chance?"

"Yes."

"Shut up, idiot. Noeul's busy being a celebrity. He won't notice me." Net rolled his eyes, he saw how Noeul was with Boss. Basically, Noeul looked smitten. "Have you heard about Noeul's manager? Do Thai celebrity stay with one manager throughout their career?"

"Maybe." Net peeked through what Boss was doing. "Why?"

"Nothing. Do you think Thai celebs hold their manager's hand?"
