"Get in," Damien said as he opened the backseat to put the briefcase he was carrying in the car.

Unlike the Aston Martin that he had seen him with before, Damien had driven a Range Rover to work this time. Marcel had been curious about how it would feel riding the car since he had seen them when he was commuting from the orphanage to the company and back.

Marcel quickly opened the door and got in the car. The seats were covered with leather and the car smelled just like Damien. He watched as Damien got in the car and closed the door before turning on the car and putting on his seatbelt.

"Seatbelt," Damien said but did not wait for Marcel to react before he put the gear on drive and drove out of the parking lot. Marcel put on the seatbelt and continued looking at the sleek interior of the car.

"Your car is pretty awesome," Marcel said as he felt the leather against his skin. Damien only smiled in response, he found the boy to be cute sometimes like a younger brother.

Marcel looked at Damien when he didn't hear a response from him and couldn't help but think to himself that the man seemed to look effortlessly cool.

Marcel said to Avian but this time Avian did not respond. Marcel did not take it to heart and watched how Damien was driving.

"Is it difficult to drive?" Marcel asked Damien since it seemed that Avian had decided to ghost him.

"No, it isn't. You want to learn?" Damien asked but did not take his eyes off his road.

"Yes, but what's the point. I need a car to be able to drive" Marcel said with a sigh. Damien chuckled but did not say anything and continued to drive.

"Why are you good to me?" Marcel asked.

"Hmm?" Damien responded in slight confusion.

"You know the contract, the manager, the car rides as well" Marcel pointed out the things that Damien had done for him.

"Is it a problem?" Damien asked.

"I'm not complaining. I just want to know what you're expecting from me" Marcel said honestly. He knew that Damien had been very accepting of his requests, especially with the help he promised he would give regarding Liam's issue. He also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"Hehe," Damien chuckled but did not say anything. Marcel also did not press the issue since Damien was not obligated to answer him.

"I'm expecting a lot from you. You have a lot of potential, and it would be in your best interests not to disappoint me" Damien said a few minutes later.

"Disappoint you?" Marcel asked. He had no intentions of asking Damien to stop his special treatment. He knew he would need it if he wanted to make a smooth transition from modelling to acting.

Unfortunately, Damien did not explain himself further. Rather than say that he did not want to explain himself it was more of not being used to explain himself.


He would only say something if he felt like doing so. After getting a silent response for the second time, Marcel realised that that was just how his character was.

After the short-lived conversation, the car finally pulled up in front of the school gates. Marcel sighed in relief when he saw that they still had five minutes until cla.s.ses ended. Marcel got out of the car and stood outside the pa.s.senger's door.

What he did not expect was for Damien to come out of the car as well, and after circling the car, he came to stand next to him. Marcel looked at him in surprise since he hadn't expected him to come out of the car.

Damien looked at the very ordinary school in front of him. It was truly different from the school he had gone to. Even though it had been twenty years but the school was not able to compare at all. He did not even think that there were schools that looked like this.

"Is this where you studied?" Damien asked Marcel curiously.

"Mmh, though I hardly remember what happened during that time. I wasn't very studious you see" Marcel said as if he was talking about someone else. The bell that signalled the end of the school day rang and the kids in the school started running out.

Damien looked at Marcel who was searching for Liam for a few more seconds before diverting his gaze to the crowd of children who had been coming out of the school.

Suddenly he saw Marcel raise his hand and wave it to a certain direction before a small figure ran towards and jumped into Marcel's arms.

Marcel easily carried the boy who had wrapped his small arms around his neck while laughing happily. Damien finally saw Marcel with his guard completely down for the first time.

"Liam, you shouldn't forget to greet other people," Marcel said and Liam pulled his head back to look at Marcel. Marcel looked at Damien and Liam followed his gaze. He had noticed the man standing next to his brother but he did not think that the two actually knew each other.

Damien's grey eyes met Liam's brown ones and they seemed to melt. He now understood why Marcel was particular about getting him out of the orphanage he hadn't been exposed to a lot of children so his resistance was just too low. Fortunately, he was able to school his expression before he embarra.s.sed himself.

"This-" Liam asked as he looked at Marcel as if he was waiting for an introduction. Marcel pinched his nose playfully with a smile before he introduced them.

"This is Uncle Damien," Marcel said with a straight face making Damien feel baffled.

"Uncle?" Liam asked Marcel and blinked his large brown eyes.

"Mmh, whenever you see him you have to greet him. He has helped me out a lot, okay?" Marcel explained briefly to Liam who turned to look back at Damien with eyes that were less cautious.

"Good afternoon Uncle Damien," Liam said and smiled the dimples on his cheeks indenting deeply. Damien was speechless for a moment and Marcel noticed it as well. He knew his face had a high destructive power but Liam's should be stronger since he was still a child.

Damien helplessly laughed at himself and patted Liam's head he had to admit that the child was very cute and after meeting him he had unconsciously decided that he will try to get him out of the orphanage as soon as possible.

"Let's go," Damien said as the three of them had drawn a lot of attention to themselves. Marcel nodded and opened the door to the backseat and helped Liam get inside.

He felt that it would be rude to sit in the backseat as well so he quickly fastened his seatbelt and went to the pa.s.senger's seat.

Damien got in the car and made eye contact with Liam through the rearview mirror and automatically smiled at the child.

Liam smiled back at Damien before he continued looking at the interior of the car. Damien shook his head as if to clear his thoughts before he turned on the car and left the school premises.
