I’m Someone Else

Thomas pulled up outside Denver Residence, but he didn’t head in as his phone started ringing with a call from Sean.

“Hey, Sean. What’s up?”

“How could you, Thomas?!” Sean cried out disapprovingly. “You landed yourself the Most Beautiful Female Entrepreneur in Irieson without even telling us a single word! Shouldn’t you at least treat us to some drinks to celebrate?!”

Aren’t we buddies?! Why didn’t he tell me the good news?

Sean was genuinely happy for Thomas. After all, Olivia was the woman of many fine young men in Irieson’s dreams, especially due to her angelic face and devilish figure. Since Sean’s buddy managed to get involved with the city’s loveliest rose, he thought it was well within his rights to brag about it too!

Thomas is such a handsome and strong man, and Olivia’s a gentle and beautiful woman. They’re a match made in heaven!

“That’s not true,” Thomas refuted with a dry smile. “Olivia and I are just friends.”

“Just friends?”

Sean sounded doubtful. “You don’t need to lie to me, Thomas. This isn’t something embarrassing. It’s perfectly normal for a young man and a young woman to fall in love, and neither one of you is married anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you get involved. It’s the talk of the town already and the stories all sound so believable.”

“I’m telling you it’s not true,” Thomas insisted. “Why would I need to lie to you?”

“Oh, alright…”

As soon as the call with Sean was over, it was followed by one with William who ask the same questions Sean did. Thomas felt a little exasperated. He wouldn’t have bothered to entertain these questions if the person asking them hadn’t been William. However, as William was a good friend of his, he forced himself to be patient and give an explanation all over again.

Once this call ended, Thomas immediately turned his phone off without wasting even a second.

Since Sean and William knew about the rumors, John and Samuel would have caught wind of them too. If I don’t turn off my phone, I’ll probably be fielding their calls next.

His friends were young and couldn’t pick up on the fishiness of the rumors, but their grandfathers were undoubtedly astute enough to realize what was happening. It’ll be even more of a hassle for me to give them an explanation.
