[American Entertainment] The road to becoming a god

Hodge came out of the darkness, with a reserved smile on his lips, "Why, you are surprised to see me?" This is definitely a bad expression, maybe it is only a little better than a deadpan expression.

Under the double oppression of class and aura, Gaspar's face was tense and he quickly made up excuses in his mind, so that he forgot that this is a fitting room, and no one should appear except him.

"No, I'm just scared," Gaspar said nervously, "Has Mr. Hodge been here all this time?"

"Not called Daddy now?" Hodge looked at him with a half-smile.

Gaspar pursed his lips in embarrassment. The daddy he said as a joke before has now become a weapon to ridicule him. He has reason to think that it is Hodge's sarcasm, because in this atmosphere Hodge is Wouldn't be in the mood to flirt with him.

"I guess you were the last customer." Gaspar bluntly changed the subject, but fortunately Hodge didn't pursue it. "But Mr. Frankie didn't tell us that there were other customers in the shop." He recalled While walking into the store by himself, "So..."

Hodge picked up the cane and tapped the palm of the other hand lightly, "Frankie is right, there are indeed no other guests here," he said.

"But..." Gaspar suddenly realized something, and the second half of the puzzled sentence stuck in his mouth. He looked at Hodge, "You are the famous nobleman Cruise mentioned...you are the owner of this store .”

Hodge was slightly surprised to hear Cruise's name, but he concealed it so well that Gaspar, in the shock of discovering the 'secret', didn't notice.

"Mr. Malkin's shop is the ancestral home of the Hodges," he said slowly and elegantly, and Gaspar noticed him uncontrollably stroking the top of his cane, where a jewel was inlaid. Yes," he said.

Michael Hodge's eyes grew longer, perhaps triggering something in the past. He slowly touched the wall with his gloved hand from top to bottom... Gaspar didn't want to disturb him, but the voice from outside the fitting room made him He had to interrupt Hodge's memory with actions.

"Are you okay, Gasper." Tom Cruise's voice rang out with the sound of footsteps, "Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Only then did Gasper realize that he had been dragging on changing clothes for too long, and the footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer. Seeing that Cruise was about to come, Gasper used the fastest speed in his life, At this time, he didn't care about the difference in status anymore, he dragged Hodge to the back of the door and leaned against the wall, then quickly turned around and pressed Hodge, who was a head taller, there with his back.

Looking at the back of his head so close, Hodge raised his eyebrows in surprise. He tried to slightly move his arm holding the cane, but Gaspar noticed it and subconsciously held it down.

"I'm fine, Ke...Tom." Gasper tried to control every muscle in his body, preparing for the accidental entry of the box office golden boy, "I'm wearing a tie, I'm almost ready!"

Fortunately, Cruise stopped outside the door.

"It's good that you're fine," Cruise said, "I'm afraid you'll faint."

"I'm fine, but it's really hot here, and I might really faint if I stay longer." Gaspar replied, "Give me another 5 minutes, and I'll go down in 5 minutes."

"No problem." Cruise's voice seemed to be going downstairs through the door panel, "I'll talk to Frankie downstairs for a while."

Gaspar almost didn't dare to express his anger: "See you later."

After confirming that Tom Cruise had gone downstairs, Gaspar breathed a sigh of relief. He relaxed and raised his hand to wipe the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

"you're too skinny."

The voice behind him made Gaspar realize that he was still relying on a powerful person. He hurried forward a few steps, trying to calm Hodge with the act of "smoothing the wrinkles on Hodge's clothes" anger.

"Sorry sorry, it's an emergency," Gaspar said in embarrassment.

But Hodge didn't care about this, he cared more about the boy's situation.

"Don't take another movie like last time, I can give you a better one." He said, "How much do you weigh now?"

Gaspar: "...about 120 pounds?"

Hodge stood up and took Gasper's shirt out of the box, then motioned for Gasper to open his hands, Gasper obediently did so, Hodge frowned as he looked at the shirt he had put on, "Don't Try to trick me, boy." He grabbed the seams at the shoulders, "You're not going to be over 110 pounds."

"I..." Gasper highlighted a feeling of guilt after being criticized, which was a novel feeling, not since his asshole dad abandoned him and his mother, "I'm already gaining weight Now, Joe said to take it step by step, or it will be bad for your health."

"Suddenly losing weight is not good for your health." Hodge said seriously, "Look up." He pinched Gasper's chin, and then began to button his shirt. "The size needs to be changed a little bit." He said explain.

Gaspar's heartbeat broke through to an unprecedented height, which made him flustered, and his heartbeat became faster when he panicked.What happened? As Hodge fastened the buttons, what Gasper could see was slowly moving down... The air seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and Gasper suddenly had an inexplicable expectation in his heart. But even he couldn't tell what he was expecting.

It feels like throwing a sugar cube into boiling coffee. The coffee warms up little by little while stirring and the sugar cube disappears.

Hodge buttoned the last button, the black gloves left the white shirt, and Gasper was still staring at it, unable to extricate himself, he touched the last button unconsciously, as if there was still residual warmth on it.

'I won't……'

[Don't you fucking have a Daddy issue! 】

The sudden explosion in his head made Gaspar almost jump up, and he used all his strength to suppress his primitive instinct, and instead the last button was torn off by him.

Hodge looked at Gaspar and frowned, "What's wrong?"

Gaspar forced a smile. "It's nothing," he said. "It's nothing..."

at the same time--

【Joe? ] Gaspar tried to contact Joe under the condition that 'the two are not in the same space', otherwise what just appeared in his mind was his hallucination.

[It's not an illusion, it's your conscience! 】Joe's voice reappeared, and now Gaspar can be sure.

Gaspar: 【How did you do it? Didn't the system say that there is no way we can't be together... Wait, did you hear what I was thinking just now? 】

[Oh, my dear Garth, I can guess your little thoughts with my knees. 】Joe taunted, Gasper could feel his full firepower this time,【Guess what, Gasper,】Joe's voice was light with a hint of anger, 【The system not only restores the 'instant call' function that allows us Contact anytime, anywhere, he can let me see the picture! 】

Gaspar's stomach tightened, 【Did you see it all? 】

"You don't look very good." Hodge helped him put on his suit jacket again, and then he took out his pants and leather shoes, "Did I miss something?"

"I'm fine." Distraught by several things, Gaspar lowered his head and waved his hands, "It's my own problem."

[You should have told me about the function of the system when we met, instead of monitoring my life! ] Gaspar roared in his head, 【I can't have a little privacy? 】

【Oh, of course you can...but it was you who ran away with Cruise without telling me!I think it's my duty to make sure nothing happened to you right now. 】Joe's voice was calm and angry, 【And how do you think I thought of enabling the system to enable this function? It was Cruise!He thought you were being coerced in the fitting room!He was worried about the impact of notifying the police directly on you, so he called me and asked me to go there! 】

Gaspar was stunned when he heard it, Cruise... so sharp.

【Of course I'm very anxious, my only actor and partner, I don't know how to accurately locate our current relationship, but...that's not important. 】Joe didn't intend to let Gaspar go, 【So, when I asked the system what to do, he forcibly restored this function, forcibly!Now he can't make a sound, I can't read Wikipedia, and you!But here!And Hodge!ambiguous! 】

Because the system forcibly turned on this function... the sadness and guilt in Gasper's heart due to Hodge doubled.

[I...] Gaspar didn't know what to say to the system, [I'm sorry. ] He can only apologize.

Apparently an apology wasn't enough, and Joe was still fuming.

[Sorry doesn't fix anything, boy. ] Joe said, 【We gotta talk, we gotta talk when we got back from that damn suit shop! 】

After saying that Joe disconnected, which is Gusper's guess, because no matter how much he shouted or apologized Joe didn't say yes anymore.Gaspar leaned against the wall in frustration, he could feel Hodge's probing eyes following him, but he suddenly didn't care much at this moment.

"It's probably time for you to go down," Hodge said. "You've been in the fitting room long enough."

Gaspar stared at his new leather shoes and nodded.

"I will send a car to pick you up on the night when your promotion ends two days later." Hodge finally helped him straighten his collar, "Remember to eat on time, and make yourself plump in the next two days."

Gaspar nodded silently again and walked out of the fitting room.He adjusted his mentality, took a deep breath, and walked downstairs.

He could feel Hodge's eyes following him until he disappeared down the stairs.
