She had not examined clearly what did the host hold. She just heard a “click” sound and her hand was cuffed.
Loredana was stunned.
Just then, the host spoke again, “To prove that this is a real welfare for you all, I will cuff Sean with this fan together. I will give her the key after 24 hours. Everybody, is it okay?” “Okay!”
The audience agreed simultaneously.
Sean was asked by the host to stretch his hand too. He was shocked. No one told him before that he would be cuffed together with her.
He could not help at the moment.
He just stretched his hand and let the host cuff his hand.
“Time starts!”
It meant that starting from the moment, the game would only be ended after the cuffs were unlocked after 24 hours.
Loredana did not treat it seriously, she thought that after they leave the stage, someone would release them. So, she just stayed calm and followed the procedure. The screaming sound of the fans could be heard from behind, some even asked Loredana to kiss Sean on their behalf.
Sean also thought that they would be released after leaving the stage. Once he was away from the sight of the audience, he spoke, “Can you unlock us now?”
The host shook her head, “It’s a promise. After 24 hours.”
Loredana was speechless.
“You never tell me about this before,” Sean was angry, not because he was cuffed together with Loredana, it was because no one had informed him about that before. “It is stated on the agreement, don’t you read it carefully?”
Sean was speechless.
He indeed did not read it carefully.
He would read the agreement carefully when he got any jobs for advertising. However, this event was not formal, so he did not read the agreement properly.
He bit his teeth. At least the woman was not a stranger to him, he just accepted to be treated in that way.
But Loredana did not want to be cuffed with a man for 24 hours. ‘Am I going to bring him home?’
‘Cormac will be upset if he knows it.’
‘He is possessive.’
“Cannot, you must unlock it now,” Loredana could not accept this kind of procedure. ‘How am I going to the toilet within these 24 hours? And how could I meet people?’
‘How am I going to face others in the future?’
Outsiders might think that she had done something wrong.
She would not accept herself to be cuffed.
“Sorry, I cannot help much. I will meet both of you after 24 hours,” the host left after saying that. Loredana and Sean were left there and the agent of Sean, Tommy Huff approached them immediately. Sean called him Fatty because he was fat.
He was annoyed too, “It’s our carelessness that allows them to trick us on the agreement.”
Loredana felt that she was innocent. ‘Why am I cuffed suddenly?’
“It has happened. Luckily, the duration is not that long. The time will pass after having a cup of tea and watching a movie,” Fatty knew that Loredana was reluctant to do so, he persuaded her, “There are a lot of fans keen to get this benefit, you’re so lucky.”
Loredana revealed a fake smile. ‘Yes, I’m so lucky.’
She was cuffed before she knew everything and it even took 24 hours.
Sean was discontented with Loredana’ rejection. He was not happy with that and said, “Let’s leave here. This is no place to talk.”
Fatty arranged a car for them so that they would not be followed by the paparazzi. They left the underground carpark.
In the car, Sean looked at Loredana, “You don’t recognize me at all?”
Loredana shook her head, she muttered in her mind that she really did not know him.
“Fatty, pass me the outfit,” Sean stretched his hand towards Fatty.
Fatty parked the car by the roadside and took a box for him from the trunk.
Sean used another hand which was not cuffed to open the box. He took out a comb and brushed his hair. Then, he wore a pair of black circular glasses. “Can you recognize me now?” He asked Loredana.
Loredana was dumbfounded. ‘Why he looks like Samuel’s teacher at AC school?’
“You, you, are you my son’s teacher?” Loredana could not relate the two people together who looked totally different.
“Yes, or else, how do I recognize you?” Sean combed his hair.
Loredana was stunned.
They were not having the same personality and role. ‘How can they be the same person?’
“You might think that the personalities are different but in fact, the difference is just the appearance,” Sean spoke to her with the tone he used as a teacher.
Loredana trusted him this time.
It was the voice. He used to speak in the tone when she met him. It was slow and steady, the sentence was even rhythmic. Others could feel his knowledgeable characteristic from his voice. “Samuel did not tell you about this before?” Sean asked.
He had called Samuel and told Samuel about his secret before he came back.
He asked Samuel not to reveal his secret to anyone. Actually, he just wanted to test whether Samuel could keep the secret.
“No,” Loredana thought of her son who talked halfway on that day, in fact, this was the secret he referred to.
Sean was satisfied with Samuel, Samuel indeed did not tell anything.
Loredana could suddenly understand why Samuel was so mature and sometimes he did some weird things.
‘He has a weird teacher, how can he be normal?’
“What’s your favourite occupation? Be a teacher or a star?” Loredana wanted to know which one he preferred as there was a huge difference between the two occupations.
Sean meditated for a while, “I become a star just to upset my father while being a teacher is my passion.”
Loredana was speechless.
She was speechless of his explanation.
