Liam finally pulled up to his true home. Yes, he lived with Louis - but did he truly belong in a middle-class apartment, well his answer would be no fucking way.
He much preferred his upper class home, yes, maybe upperclass was an understatement. His 7.3 million dollar mansion holds his secret life, well secret from some people, evident to others.
When Liam tells Louis he is going to work, what he truly means is he is taking the thirty minute trip to his mansion, turning from the softy Louis knows him as, Into one of the most powerful men in the entertainment industry.
He sighed as he walked inside, eyes rolling when he noticed none other than his business allies."
"Manny. What on earth are you doing here?" Liam flopped down next to his friend, he wasn't surprised to see the man, he often let himself into the large homing, having remembered the security code by heart.
Manny was one of his closest business allies, together they knew when to strike, when to promote when to speak and when to keep quite. Liam was the brains, of the traditional celebrity, such as business people and actors. Manny was the brains of the modern-celebrity, such as youtubers and bloggers. Together they were the most feared PR team, they could destroy, or make you a millionaire.
"So I assume you haven't looked at the news this morning?" Manny raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
Immediately Liam sat up straight, voice deepening as he frowned, "what?"
With a sigh the man opened his phone to News, revealing the latest section on Taylor Swifts album drop. He skimmed through the article, jaw locking as anger boiled through his body.
"We had a deal. SugarPop were to hint her song Gorgeous was about Joe Alwyn. What the fuck is this about Kanye West. That idiot doesn't need more publicity. What did Joe's PR team say?"
That's how the entertainment industry worked, whether the song was about him or not, Joe's PR team paid millions to Liam, just so he would get Joe's name in the latest gossip section of the News.
"They are less than happy that's for sure." Manny flipped his manicured hand around, dusting off some dirt from his nail.
Liam stared at the calm man before frowning, "why are you so calm? This is an issue Manny. I-S-S-U-E. Issue. Do you even know how much they paid me to get Joe's name in that one article? 3 million. And guess what, his name wasn't added in the article, so guess what that means? I have to refund them. And that means you miss out on your 15% commission."
Manny looked up at the brunette who was freaking out, "are you done Liam?"
The man didn't respond, ready to stand up, phone in hand about to call SugarPop. Whoever picked up would be in for an earful.
"Well if you let me talk, you would know I fixed it... I guess you don't care though." The man with manicured hands smirked when Liam turned to face him, a shocked expression on his face.
"Already?"
"Mhm."
"How?"
Manny rolled his eyes, "oh don't under-estimate me Liam, I might not have as much money as you, doesn't mean I'm not as scary. Joe's name will be in the next SugarPop article, and also in TMZ news. So don't get your panties in a twist, his PR team agreed they will let it slide. This time."
Manny paused before adding with a cheeky smirk, "better not let that boy you live with distract you more than he is. Don't want your name being tarnished because of silly mistakes like this."
Liam took a breath before mumbling, "shut up and get back to work."
"Yes Sir."

Liam sat rubbing his forehead, today had been a day of deep voiced conversations and PR talks.
Tedious.
Luckily Manny had been around to lend a hand where needed, and was currently ending a call on Liam's iPhone with a makeup company. One of the mainstream beauty vloggers was releasing a new makeup line, and god Liam did not want to put up with women who refused to have white packaging and insisted wanted white mixed with off-tone white with the brightness increased by 0.43%.
"Okay, thank you. We will have that ready as soon as the money comes into the account. Talk to you then."
Liam and Manny both shared annoyed looks, the latter sighing when he finally hit end.
"Thanks for taking that, don't know if I could have survived without jumping out the window." Liam mumbled, the most annoying of clients were those who believed their was a major difference between light blue and baby blue... etc
Annoying.
Just as Manny was about to pass Liam his phone back, it beeped.
A text.
Naturally Manny opened it - believing it could be a text from the makeup company. Instead there was a picture of a tan boy with soft caramel hair and soft looking skin in a tiny crop top.
The message read, haha look what Jason bought me!
Manny licked his lips, "dang Liam, is this Louis? You never told me he was a twink. Now I see why your ass lives with him and hides this life of yours from him."
The brunette snatched his phone from Manny glancing at the picture before biting his lip.
"Shut up, he is just a friend."
Manny smirked, "yeah whatever you say Mister big bad boss."
