ceo asaad syed has reportedly moved on after ending things with short-term boyfriend kash thomas only a few weeks ago. the ceo was seen leaving le bernadrin a few nights ago with a new boyfriend perhaps. a few other attendees at the restaurant claim the couple came in happy, shared a kiss even, but left upset with each other.
shared a kiss? must got the wrong nigga 'cus it shol' wasn't me. these motherfuckers be lyin.
at this time the identity of the rumored boyfriend is unknown however it's only a matter of time before it's out in the open.
yeah nah this shit got me fucked. i left the app and went to open my phone app. before i could call him though he called me.
"shared a kiss?" i asked once the line connected
"my publicist is handling it, it'll all be cleared up by tonight"
"you got a publicist?"
why am i even surprised anymore?
"she's recommending we don't interact with each other in public for now, it'll help die down some of the rumors"
"okay so when can i come back to work?"
"you can come to work. in fact you should. it'll help show everyone that you truly are just my secretary and nothing else"
"am i? nothing else"
"i thought you made it clear yesterday that you couldn't give what i wanted. so what else would there be?"
"i dunno, you told me to stop talking before i could finish what i had to say"
"cato i'm tired. it's like everyday we talk about the same shit. and i get it, it's mostly my fault. i'm wanting something i cannot have. but what's worse is the thing that i cannot have, keeps dangling itself like a carrot in front of me and expecting me to not want it. the thing that i want can't seem to let itself want the same because it's too scared of what society will think or feel about it. which is alright, i would never downplay that because yes, it is a scary thing. yet is it worth not taking a chance at being happy?"
"who said it's not happy?"
"goodbye cato. see you in the office"
with that he hung up. i tossed my phone to my bed and looked down at the box half filled with my clothes. ready to move into his old place.
