《Sugar》72.

After breakfast, when Dallon is sitting in his office, he gets a call from Stella.
"Mr. Weekes, I need you to go to the Daily Mail news, right now," she says and Dallon puts his phone on speaker before going to the website and letting out a shocked 'no'.
Weekes Enterprises CEO Dallon Weekes: "I'm gay. I like men."
The title on the top reads and Dallon's heart drops a little.
"Oh God, no..." He says.
"Sir, you should read the article..." Stella answers and Dallon clicks on it.
"Businessman Dallon Weekes, the founder, and owner of Weekes Enterprises has come out as gay in an interview with the New York Daily Mail. The businessman came out after some people were questioning his relationship with his assistant Stella Kingsley. Following a question I asked him, he stated 'I am gay. I like men.' but several of his employees expressed their doubts about the statement."
Dallon just scoffs and closes the article, gritting his teeth.
"Well, good to know that my employees know me better than I know myself," he says and Stella just stays quiet.
"I still have that fundraiser I have to attend, in a few days, I'll ask Brendon to come with me. Maybe they'll believe me then," he adds.
"Yeah, I think that might be a good idea," Stella says.
"Did you read the rest of the article, sir?" She asks, after a few seconds of silence and Dallon has to open the article again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't. I was just too annoyed already," he says before continuing to read.
"We here at Daily News try to get the whole story and when interviewing a few more employees, all of them pretty close to Mr. Weekes himself, they told us that they had been suspecting the affair between Kinglsey and Weekes, adding that both Weekes and Kingsley seemed to be working late together a lot. Kingsley, who has been married for a few years now, refuses to talk to the Daily News. The only thing she has told us is that she and Weekes have never had an affair."

Dallon just doesn't read the rest of the article, already feeling sick.
"I'm so sorry..." He mumbles and he sighs again.
"It's not your fault, Mr. Weekes. I'm gonna try to get them to take the article down." "No, don't. I'll do it. I think that I can make some more impact in this case," Dallon says, sounding a little bitter and he closes his laptop.
"I'll have to do it later, though. I've got the future in-laws over, right now."
Dallon frowns at the words that come out of his own mouth and he wants to say something about it, but he decides not to.
"Alright. Good luck."
After saying goodbye, Dallon just puts his phone away and walks into the living room, where Brendon is talking to his parents. He looks up when Dallon comes in and a bright smile appears on his face.
"Hey, baby," he says and Dallon smiles at him too.
"Hey, could I talk to you for a second?" He asks, his voice sounding serious and he certainly doesn't miss the way Boyd sits up straighter and gives him a threatening look.
"Yeah, of course. What is it?" Brendon asks, immediately getting up and he and Dallon walk into the hallway.
"Right... So the Daily Mail has written a whole article about how they think I'm faking the fact that I'm gay to hide the fact that Stella and I are having an affair."
Dallon can see the way Brendon tries to not start laughing and he relaxes a little a more.
"I'm gonna be honest, that would be a pretty interesting story. 'Businessman is so scared of being caught in affair that he would rather be discriminated against because he's gay.'" He giggles and Dallon rolls his eyes.

"Not everyone thinks about it that way, Bren. People are seriously gonna make a problem out of all of this." "I'm sorry, Dall. I hope this doesn't become a whole problem for you."
Dallon smiles a little and Brendon kisses him softly.
"I just thought I'd tell you because I don't want you, or your parents to see it and start thinking weird things. Especially your dad. He's really protective," Dallon says, as he pulls back again and Brendon smiles.
"Hey, it's alright. No one will actually think that you're cheating on me with your assistant," he says and Dallon nods.
"Alright... I just really don't want you to think that." "I won't. And neither will my parents, I promise."
Brendon kisses Dallon again, pushing him against the wall and giggling as he pulls back because Dallon just looks surprised.
"Aww, look at you not being in charge, for once," Brendon whispers, kissing Dallon again and then he walks away like nothing has happened, leaving Dallon behind in confusion.
"What..?" He just mumbles to himself and then he walks into the living room too.
He'd call the Daily News later, but for now, he was gonna spend time with Brendon and his parents.
