Never Judge

"Hey guys. Oh look, it's Eric Chan." AR waved towards the actor.

At this point Adrianna and her friends were already blushing. Despite being married Adrianna still has a huge crush on Eric Chan, and Cedric knew about it. 

Cedric quickly sent Eric a message on his phone: Older brother, do you have any idea how awkward it is to have my wife giggling like a teenage girl just because you are in the same restaurant as her?

Eric felt his phone vibrate, when he saw who sent him the message he stopped walking and grinned. He looked directly at Cedric and walked over to their table.

The group assumed that he was coming over to talk to AR Fines.

"Hey Eric." AR greeted, but Eric just ignored him and looked at Cedric.

"You didn't tell me you'd be here Cedric." Eric said with a grin. "I would have given you a lift earlier."

Everyone gasped when they realized that Eric Chan was talking to Cedric.

"I had my own ride." Cedric said with a smile.

"Mr. Eric, it's me AR Fines, we're both signed to Lights Entertainment." the football player said, trying to get Eric's attention.

Eric looked at his assistant who whispered something in return. Clearly he was explaining to Eric who AR Fines was.

"Ah yes. The new kid. Welcome, have we met?" Eric asked.

Cedric wanted to laugh at what Eric had just done. Clearly Eric had no idea who AR Fines was. 

Eric loved his job and he loved his fans, however he never paid too much attention to other artists and famous personalities. He didn't have to, after all, one of the 5 princes was his younger brother.

"Mr. Eric we met at last year's Christmas party." AR explained.

"Oh right." Eric nodded.

"Cedric, I was thinking of doing a project with your company. I don't think Ram would mind." Eric said, taking a seat next to Cedric.

Everyone simply assumed that by your company Eric meant the company where Cedric worked, when in reality it was the company Cedric owned. 

Cedric rolled his eyes at what Eric said. Of course Ram wouldn't mind, Eric almost had complete control of his career and he managed it well. He chose his own project and endorsements, he even managed his own social media accounts.

"Alright." Cedric replied calmly. Everyone was in shock at how Cedric was treating Eric, and it seemed Eric didn't mind the treatment he was getting from Cedric either.

"Cedric." Adrianna whispered to her husband. She wanted Cedric to introduce her to Eric. 

Cedric really didn't want to. He treated this guy like his older brother and yet his wife and her friends had a huge crush on him. However, Cedric always gave Adrianna what she wanted, that's how much he loved her.

"Eric, my wife Adrianna. Adrianna, this is Eric he's—" Cedric suddenly realized he didn't know how to introduce Eric.

"I'm an acquaintance of Cedric's." Eric said, completing Cedric's introduction.

"Mr. Chan, I'm a huge fan!" Adrianna said with a huge grin. She saw her friends looking at her and proceeded to introduce them.

"Well I guess I'll see you around Cedric." Eric said as he stood up to leave. "Mrs. Reyes, it was a delight to meet you."

Adrianna blushed as Eric mentioned her.

As he was leaving Eric turned around and shouted back. 

"By the way Cedric, nice watch." He said with a wink and waved. If you looked closely enough Eric was wearing the exact same watch as Cedric and Adrianna.

Ayanna had purchased 13 watches, one for each child of the Reyes, Laurence, Sebastian, Abad, and Chan families, and the 13th watch was Adrianna's.

Cedric quickly sent a message to Eric after he left: I hope you had fun.

Eric quickly replied: I was the only one that didn't get to meet your wife earlier, I thought it was unfair. So I asked your assistant where you would be.

Cedric replied: If they figure out you have one of those watches they will find out more about you.

Eric's reply came soon after: What's life without risks?

Cedric grinned and put away his phone. The moment he looked up Adrianna and her friends were looking at him ready to ask the question that was on all of their minds.

"How do you know Eric fucking Chan?" Julia was the first to ask.

"He's an acquaintance." Cedric replied.

"Not good enough. Why were you at the airport with him earlier?" Sofia probed.

"I was there for work." It was true that all the assistants were there. Cedric just wasn't there as an assistant.

"Cedric, don't you love me?" Adrianna asked.

"Huh?" Cedric was puzzled by his wife's reaction.

"This whole time you knew that I was Eric Chan's fan and you never mentioned that you knew him!" Adrianna accused.

"It didn't seem important, and you wouldn't have believed me." Cedric shrugged. Adrianna and the girls bought his answer.

The two other guys who had been standing by their table wanted to melt away in embarrassment. They were boasting about knowing Eric Chan moments ago and it seemed that Adrianna's husband knew the actor personally.

The girls even didn't notice when they quietly headed back to their table.

A few fans managed to snap photos of Eric talking to Cedric, they immediately posted it on social media and the topic quickly trended.
