Never Judge

"Hey Eric, I'm talking to Miguel over the phone right now. I'll settle this first then we can talk." Ram said as he turned his attention back to the call.

"Just send me the things you want out there. I'll have someone deal with it. We good?" Ram asked Miguel.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming over. It seems this Calathea issue just got bigger." Miguel said as he gave his driver instructions to head to Lights Entertainment.

"Perfect. You can calm your brother down while I get some work done." Ram said as he dropped the call.

The office of Lights Entertainment was inside a compound that housed various studios used when they shot movies and TV shows as well as studios for rehearsal and a theater for live shows. At the entrance there was always a crowd waiting to see which celebrity would be coming in, so Ram had tents and seats placed as well as outdoor bathrooms for the fans.

When the fans saw Miguel's expensive car approaching they began to stand up and snap pictures. They knew that whoever was in this car was some bigshot, and they were hoping that it was a bigshot actor rather than some old businessman.

Miguel rarely visited Ram so people weren't familiar with his car, he quickly rolled down his window and winked at some of the fans. They began to scream, they didn't expect to see any of the five princes visiting the compound.

His photos quickly made their way onto the internet where fans were lamenting how his handsome face was wasted in an operating room.

Before Miguel could get down, Veronica suddenly called.

"You're at Lights?" Veronica's question puzzled Miguel, she was never concerned about where he went or what he did. Her concern made his heart flutter a little.

"Yeah. How'd you know? I'm here to see your brother and my brother. There's a little issue." Miguel explained to his wife, hoping she would show more concern about him in the future.

"You have fans posting all over the internet. Some of them are already cursing at me for keeping you locked up." Veronica told Miguel.

"I wish you would keep me locked up." Miguel said in an attempt to flirt.

"Disgusting." Veronica told her husband over the phone. To Miguel, any response from her was a good response. "I'm on my way there too. I took a cab. Let's head back to Mountain View together."

"I got you a car, why are you taking a cab?" Miguel asked.

"I can't drive remember? What use is a car if I can't drive?" Veronica said as she scolded Miguel.

"We have a driver." Miguel said flatly. It seemed his wife only listened to half the things he said.

"Well I'm already on my way there. It's a waste to make the cab go back." Veronica clearly refused to let Miguel win the discussion.

"Just stay safe. When people see you they'll say I'm a bad husband." Miguel said sweetly.

"But you are." Veronica responded as she suddenly dropped the call.

Miguel stared at his phone as he was in shock with his wife's answer. Surely he wasn't a bad husband, he let Veronica do as Veronica pleased. Aside from letting her be herself, he also funded all of her expenses. In fact, he had been funding her expenses since she left University and went to Paris. Of course, Veronica had no idea since he had asked Ram to keep it a secret from her, something he still wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do.

At Ram's office, Eric was pacing across the room when Miguel arrived.

"Ah! Miguel perfect timing. You can calm your brother down while I get some work done." Ram said happily as he sat by his desk and powered on his laptop.

"Did you get the information I sent you?" Miguel asked Ram, ignoring his pacing elder brother.

"Yes. You're such a dedicated husband. I bet Veronica's heart is gonna melt when she finds out about this." Ram teased Miguel.

"Don't tell your sister. I promised she could live her life. Plus you know how she doesn't want connections used for her." Miguel told Ram.

"Fine, fine. Just distract him, I need to take this call." Ram said pointing at Eric as he went to the lounge behind his office to take the call.

"What's going on?" Miguel asked Eric.

"For some reason the Carpios ignored Cedric's threats and let Calathea come back to the country.

"And this is an issue why?" Miguel asked.

"I'm 100% sure she'll come after me and Katerina again." Eric explained.

"Katerina can take care of herself. We're the ones that go to her for help, remember? You're making her seem like a helpless woman." Miguel was pretty sure that Eric had forgotten how capable Katerina Sebastian was. Calathea had created rumor after rumor about Katerina, but Katerina never gave in.

Eric sighed and calmly took a seat. "Things are doing good now. Katerina and I are at least on private speaking terms again."

"Seriously older brother, you're acting like a girl. I think it's being in this industry too long, you've gotten overly dramatic." Miguel teased.

"Has he calmed down?" Ram asked as he returned.

"Yeah. He's just over reacting." Miguel explained with a shrug.

"Veronica said she's on her way here. She has a meeting with a client that's a talent under Lights Entertainment. She told me to remind you to wait for her Miguel." Ram told his brother-in-law.

"I know. She called when I arrived." Miguel said as he took a seat.

A female assistant knocked and was called in by Ram. "Mr. Abad, the Carpio family called to discuss getting a few actors and singers as their endorsers. They wanted to know when you're free."

"They'll want me for sure." Eric said with a frown.

"Just take it. It's still money." Ram told his friend.

"Do I look like I need money?" Eric rolled his eyes as he slouched back onto the couch.

"Tell them I can meet tomorrow in the afternoon. I don't want to spend too much time with them and a meal takes up too much time." Ram instructed his assistant who nodded then left to do as Ram asked.

After a few minutes Veronica arrived at Ram's office.

"I'm hungry. Let's have dinner." She suddenly declared as she placed her laptop on her brother's desk.

"I have plans." Ram said, rejecting his sister's invitation.

"Why don't we go out on a date?" Miguel said as he attempted to place an arm around her. Veronica slapped his hand which he quickly retracted.

"If you care about your hands, don't touch." Veronica coldly said.

"I already told you V, next to you, my hands don't matter." Miguel said in a sweet tone. Luckily, Veronica had her back turned on Miguel and was facing her brother, Ram could clearly see his sister blushing, Veronica did not blush easily.

"Business dinner?" Veronica asked Ram in an attempt to change the topic.

"No. Personal and none of your business." Ram told his sister.

"Now I wanna crash it." Veronica said with a grin. She quickly turned and got on her tiptoes and whispered to Miguel. "Get us invited to Ram's dinner and you can sleep in the same room as me tonight." Veronica said with a giggle.
