Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands-Chapter 96

96 His Public Announcement

My eyes watched the television screen intently as the news started to gain my undivided attention. EROS is about to have a press conference about the release of his new single. Mark had mentioned just earlier that he had problem with his work. Did that have an impact on the release of his new single as well?

Without realizing it, I had leaned forward with my eyes glued to the television screen as I watched an elegantly dressed EROS walk out from the building towards the podium that had been prepared for him in advance. He looked completely fine. He didn’t seem to be in an outstandingly good mood, but he didn’t look deflated or depressed either. His aura still shone so brightly which just reaffirmed his superstar status. The sound of the crowd cheering loudly entered the camera and I could hear them so clearly as if I was standing right there with them in the middle of the crowd.

The female reporter and camera man struggled to get a good viewpoint to film EROS. EROS took the stage before nodding and smiling towards the crowd of his fan. He wore an all-white three-piece suit with a black tie. The crowd cheered loudly, and it was clear that they were looking forward to hearing good news about this brand-new single. I wondered what the song would be like.

“Thank you everyone for your time. Honestly, I did not expect such a large crowd to turn up. Thank you for always being here for me. I am eternally thankful for your continuous support. As requested by many, I am here to simply update everyone on the progress of my new single. The song is wholly written and composed by me, both the music and the lyrics...” EROS said politely.

Although he smiled, he didn’t seem very excited about the release of his new single at all. I cocked my head to the side as the camera zoomed in on EROS’s beautiful face. I wondered what was wrong with him?

During the brief pause in his speech, the reporters roared and screamed their questions at him. Their voice entering into the camera as a storm of undistinguishable words. EROS stood still with a smile plastered on his face as he faced the reporter and the blinding light of the flash.

“Unfortunately, due to some issues, I regret to inform everyone that I am uncertain if the single is good enough to be released...” EROS continued before pausing again.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Will the single be released?”

.....

“Will the release date be postponed?”

“Please give us more details!”

EROS stood and smile, clearly unaffected by the aggressive and shocked responses of the reporters and the fans. It was very loud now that EROS wasn’t speaking. What does he mean by not being sure whether the single was good enough or not?

“I would like to be completely honest to my fans about this. I’ll find out soon if the song is good enough or not. If it is good enough then the single will be released on the scheduled date without delay. However...if the song doesn’t quite cut it then, I’ll completely scrap it and I’ll consider cancelling the plans for releasing this single entirely. Hopefully, that won’t be the case...” EROS said before stepping to the side of the podium and bowing his head low apologetically towards the crowd of his loyal fans.

My mouth hung open in shock. His fans and the reporters were stunned into a moment of silence before the crowd exploded with shouts, cries, and comments. The camera panned out and started capturing fans in the crowd. Some of them were crying and hugging each other like they had just heard that the world was coming to an end. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

“I’m sure that won’t be the case. So many fans are waiting eagerly for the release of your single!”

“It is sure to be a hit that will top the chart for months!”

The reporters made many similar comments, but EROS just smiled a little and refused to comment any further on the topic. After that the bodyguards escorted EROS back into the building, marking the end of the press release. I lifted the remote control and switched the television off.

EROS...maybe something is really wrong with him right now...

...

I woke up with a headache the following morning after my phone started ringing. Who would be calling so early in the morning? I grabbed my phone and answered it without looking at the screen.

“Hello...” I whispered.

“Did I wake you?” a familiar joyful voice asked sounding completely guiltfree.

“Justin? Yes, you woke me...” I replied before yawning.

“Good news. You don’t have to go meet any of your clients today. You do have a date with Doctor Adrian tomorrow at the zoo. You know that, right?” Justin asked.

“Aha...” I mumbled.

I did remember. Actually, I looked forward to a fun date with Adrian and his daughter at the zoo. It would probably be a refreshing experience amid all that was going on.

“Good. Well, take care and enjoy some rest. Give me a call if you’re bored!” Justin exclaimed excitedly before hanging up.

I let the phone fall from my hand onto the bed before rolling around and going back to sleep. He told me to enjoy my rest, so I decided to catch up on some sleep.

...

It was sometime close to noon when I woke up. It wasn’t my choice to wake up at that time but the sound of my doorbell ringing non-stop was the culprit that woke me from my slumber.

Seriously, who is it?!

No one knows that I live here except for Justin and the guy who rented the room out to me. Justin just called so I was pretty sure that it wasn’t Justin. Is it the building manager?

I cursed softly under my breath as I dragged my ultra-lazy body out of bed and headed to the door. This better be worth my effort or I’m going to scream at the poor soul standing in front of my door. Looking through the peephole, I could see an impatient delivery guy standing at in front of my door. I don’t remember ordering anything, though.
