��What are you thinking?�� Troy��s voice brought Danica out of her trance, and she looked at him. ��Thank you for making this though,�� he said, motioning towards the hot chocolate.
She gave a smile and said, ��Won��t you show me your recording room? I have always seen it in the video only.��
��Sure,�� he answered. After they talked for some more, Troy showed her his recording room.
It had the cool black, red, and white wallpaper, which she saw in his videos. The room was decorated nicely, it was exactly the way she pictured his studio to be. Troy took her to the editors, who greeted her politely and continued editing the newest videos of Troy. She didn��t see Marker, who was the first person to give her this accidental fame in the first place. Troy said that he would return the next day, and he was on a tour.
Danica realized that ever since she started to be in Troy��s videos, she hadn��t watched a single video on WhyNTube. She didn��t even check her social media, nor had she posted any recent pictures. But Hernan had told her to post at least one picture a day to keep up with the fame she received.
After seeing the studio, Danica was waiting for Troy in the resting room. She took out her phone from the pocket and started checking her social media apps. Her followers increased rapidly, and people were still liking and commenting on her old pictures. She didn��t make her account private anymore after Aziel had made it public by mistake. She reached 700k followers today. She continued scrolling through her gallery to see what she could post today. Seeing one picture, she stopped scrolling and a big smile evolved on her face. It was a picture of her and Troy in high school junior year. They were holding a homemade chocolate cake, grinning while Troy took the selfie. She was paired up with Troy for a school project, and they ended up baking a cake instead of completing the project.
��This seems like I can post it,�� Danica mumbled to herself and went ahead to post this picture. As soon as she was about to click the button ��post��, Troy entered the room, making her jump a little. She turned to see Troy, who made his way to her.
��Finally, the video shooting end���� he stopped midway when his eyes fell on the phone screen of Danica. ��What is that?�� Before Danica could hide the picture, Troy snatched the phone from her hand and took a clear look at the picture before gasping in horror. ��You are not posting this picture. And why the fuck do you even have this picture? Delete it.��
He was about to delete it, but Danica snatched her phone from his hand before shaking her head in denial. ��No way in hell am I deleting it. This is such a cute picture, and I am going to post it.��
��No, Dani, I look like a creep here.�� He took a step towards Danica, but she ran to the other corner of the room with a grin on her face.
��This is going viral now, love.�� With that, she winked at him, which made Troy stop in his tracks. Taking this as an opportunity, she hit the ��post�� button, and he couldn��t stop her from uploading that photo of them. ��Done,�� she squealed in excitement and showed him the photo which was now posted.
Troy��s heart skipped a beat, remembering how Danica called him ��love�� and winked at him at the same time. Why couldn��t she understand what her words and actions did to me? he wondered. His heart wanted to make her his at that instant, but he had to control himself and his hormones.
��Troy, are you okay?�� Danica��s voice lingered with concern as she approached him and grabbed his arm. ��Troy?��
��Huh?�� he let out, coming out of his fallacy. ��Yes, I am okay.��
��Are you upset because I have uploaded the picture against your wish?�� she asked quietly this time. ��Do you want me to delete it?�� She was afraid that she had made Troy upset or something like that because he wasn��t responding properly. Little did she know the situation was fully different than what she thought it was.
Troy looked at her hazel eyes, which always melted him. He chuckled and pinched the tip of her nose, saying, ��No, silly. I am totally okay with it and I am not angry.��
She placed a hand over her chest and heaved a sigh in relief, knowing he wasn��t angry at her. Troy didn��t fail to notice it and smiled seeing her cute actions, but he pretended not to notice it.
��Okay, then let��s go back. Hernan was kinda sad when you didn��t greet Kenji nicely,�� she started speaking, but as Troy was about to open his mouth to speak, she continued, ��Don��t upset Hernan and behave politely with Kenji.��
��Fine,�� he mumbled under his breath and the two of them returned back to the Rose mansion.
Meanwhile, Trevor was playing with his Rubix cube, sitting on an armchair, when Gabrielle stepped into his room. She made her way towards Trevor and took the cube away from his hand before sitting on his lap. She knew that Trevor played with his cube whenever he was worried about something.
Gabrielle wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a mischievous smile, ��This look makes you more handsome than you actually are.��
Trevor narrowed his eyes. ��Are you saying that I am usually less handsome?��
Gabrielle shook her head in denial. ��If you were, how could you be Gabrielle Kingston��s boyfriend?�� She flipped her ginger hair behind her ear, her chin held high with pride.
A smile took over Trevor��s lips as he looked at her cute antics with eyes filled with love. ��You are crazy.��
��And this was the precious smile I was looking for,�� she told him and kissed the tip of his nose.
��I am having a bad feeling, Gab,�� Trevor spoke up. ��What if Kenji ends up creating problems between me, Troy, and Hernan?��
��Then we can tie him up with a chair and continue beating Kenji till he reveals the truth,�� Gabrielle replied, which made Trevor chuckle.
Gabrielle was the kind of girl who would always think positively and make a sad time happy for anyone. Trevor loved this nature of Gabrielle the most and it was the first trait of hers that made him fall for her. It never failed to amuse him, either. He couldn��t be more grateful to God for giving such a perfect woman to him, for whom his love increased with every passing day.

After Danica gave Troy a thumbs up from one corner of the hallway, he finally knocked on the door of Hernan��s bedroom,
Kenji opened the door and smiled, which didn��t seem genuine at all. ��Troy Kingston? Sup, dude?��
Hernan was arranging Kenji��s clothes, and upon hearing Troy��s name, he went to the door with a bright smile on his face. ��Hey, Troy. Come inside.��
Kenji opened the door fully and Troy stepped inside the room. Hernan placed his hand over Troy��s shoulder and started talking about a few things. However, before closing the door, Kenji glanced around the empty hallway.
Danica hid behind a pillar quickly to go unnoticed by Kenji, but she failed because Kenji had already seen her wavy brown hair. Still, he pretended to act dumb and closed the door.
Troy talked to Hernan and Kenji, trying to be polite with Kenji as Danica had instructed. Soon, Trevor joined them after Gabrielle talked with him. Hernan was very happy that his two best friends loved him, and they were willing to bond with Kenji just for his happiness. After all, friendship was stronger than enmity.
