Chapter 04

　　\"Messed up?\" Michael quickly seized David by the collar. \"How am I messed up?\" He\'s been waiting here for nearly an hour, and David’s reaction was exactly what he had hoped for.

　　\"You don\'t know how messed up you are?\" David glared defiantly at Michael.

　　He sneered, bent his head, kissed David\'s lips and said, \"Let me show you just how messed up I am.\"

　　He immediately picked David up and carried him into the bedroom.

　　Even as he struggled to free himself, David could still see Sam Wen\'s simple gloomy eyes in the living room.

　　\"Michael, let me go!\"

　　Even if he has been prostituting himself, he can\'t do it in front of others. What\'s more, he did not like this man, his look-alike, who was sitting outside.

　　\"Sam has always looked up to you. He admires your acting skills. Today you will let him see how you act in bed!\"

　　\"Michael, you cannot do this, let me go!\"

　　When Michael separated his legs, David lifted them up and tried to twist them around his neck. He had learned a little Taekwondo when he was a teenager. However, he was no match for Michael.

　　Seeing David was fighting back so hard made Michael want him even more. They struggled.

　　Michael threatened in a low voice, \"I warned you about disobedience.\"

　　David did not want to give him the satisfaction, but the image of his sick grandmother in her hospital room flashed in his mind. He closed his eyes, relaxed his rigid body, and said in a defeated tone, \"Do what you want!\"

　　The pain in his chest was so bad that David closed his eyes tightly for fear that he might accidentally shed tears. David looked fragile and to Michael, it was distressing.

　　Michael let go of him. \"If you don\'t want do it, someone else will.\"

　　He got up and got out of bed, but David reached out and grabbed his wrist. He didn\'t want Michael to realize that he was just acting. He wiped away his tears, and put on a brave smile. \"I have taken the money. There is no reason to leave the customer dissatisfied.\"

　　Pulling Michael by the arm, David climbed onto him. Just as he was about to make a move, there was a scream and the sound of glass falling to the ground in the living room. Before he knew what had happened, Michael has pushed him away. \"No need to use your acting skills on me.\"

　　Michael turned and went to the living room. He held Sam Wen, who was scared and pale, on the sofa. \"You’re hurt. Stay still. I\'ll get you some water.\"

　　Sam\'s eyes were full of tears, and he said, \"Mike, I\'d better go back. I don\'t want to give you any trouble.\"

　　Michael left without closing the bedroom door. At this moment, David heard their conversation clearly, and he couldn\'t help laughing. Sam was a delicate little thing.

　　Michael left him with David every day. He cared for the injured Sam, cooked three meals a day for him. It was a strange setup, but David didn’t mind. David had moved downstairs and was staying in the guest room, while Sam and Michael shared his bedroom.

　　David was reading the script of \"Ferry\" in the guest room downstairs. Michael had given it to him, as a reward for looking after Sam Wen. When Annie He came to the door, he had read it over and over.

　　Annie He was the one who had discovered Michael. When David first joined the entertainment industry, she was his agent. However, after David and Michael broke up, they lost contact.

　　In recent years, she hadn’t heard from David. But she had seen firsthand how much Michael had changed. He was now moody and unstable. It was a nightmare working with him.

　　I don\'t know what Michael was thinking, arranging a meeting between Annie He and me, David thought.

　　They avoided discussing the past. However, Annie\'s heart sank when she saw David\'s strange posture and the visible kiss mark on his neck. \"Are you ok?\"

　　David nodded and asked, \"What time is the audition?\"

　　\"One o\'clock in the afternoon.\" Annie paused and said, \"Why don\'t I call director Ji and tell him we\'ll be late?\"

　　As soon she spoke, Michael called out from upstairs, \"What? Shouldn’t you go now? If we have sex 365 days a year, will David have to call in sick every day?\"

　　Annie He couldn’t bear it anymore.\"Michael, you pig!\"

　　\"Manager He, is this really something you want to lose your job over?\"

　　Annie He was about to lose her temper.\"You think I\'m happy working for you? I’ve wanted to quit for a long time.\"

　　\"Leave if you want but one of our ladies in Galaxy will be spending more time with guests!\" He was threatening to assign the more undesirable tasks to Annie’s younger sister.

　　\"Michael, go fuck yourself.\"

　　Michael laughed. He looked at David and said, \"David, what do you think?\"

　　\"I\'ll go.\" Without looking at Michael, David limped to the gate.
