Chapter 12 - HE’S GAY

EPISODE 12

Minutes passed before Yancy Wil finally emerged from the tense office alive. He rests his back against the wall, loosening his necktie.

Yancy: (Exhales in relief) If I hadn't dealt with people before, I wouldn't have survived his cold temperament.

A few maids walk down the hallway. They catch sight of his loosened tie, groan in irritated disgust, and hasten their pace.

Yancy Wil: (Tilts head) What's up with them 🤨 ? Where's Tiberius? (About to walk off) I really shouldn't have worn a necktie today… it's suffocating.

Maid (Bethany): You'll be misunderstood if you leave your necktie like that.

Yancy: Oh! No, I didn't mean— it's just… I'm feeling suffocated right now.

Maid Bethany: (Hands out) May I?

Yancy: Hm?

Maid Bethany: Your tie.

Yancy: Oh—yes, please.

She assists him.

Maid Bethany: I must say, you are quite bold.

Yancy: As in how?

Maid Bethany: We get what you're trying to do, but must you make it so obvious?

Yancy: I don't understand. You are talking like the others here.

Maid Bethany: Why are you acting dumb?

Yancy: (Holds her hand) I'm not. I truly don't understand why half the people here glare at me.

Maid Bethany: Mr Yancy…

Yancy: Please tell me. (Eager) Please.

Seeing his genuine expression, she tries to speak. The words get stuck.

Maid Bethany: (Sighs) Junior Master is right this way.

Yancy: But I left him under the—

Maid Bethany: He has left there.

Yancy: Are you close to Tiberius 😄?

Maid Bethany: (Firm) No. And neither should you be to me.

Yancy: Yes, Miss!

 At a Cyber Café in the City

Rachav: So if I beat you in a video game, then you'll listen attentively to what I have to say?

Tommy: Yup.

Rachav: Every single word 🧐 ?

Tommy: You in or not? I'm a man of my words.

Rachav Rai quietly studies the group of guys for a moment.

Rachav: 😄 Alright. Let's game.

A Guy: (Whispering mockingly) Tommy boy is world cup third champion in gaming. She's just a quirky lady.

Another Dude: I guess all Christians are overconfident.

Another Dude: She's gonna get done and dusted.

Rachav Rai hears everything yet remains calm—too calm for a nun.

Rachav: But first, would you mind getting me a packet of jelly beans?

Moments pass. Viewers gather around.

And begin!

The game starts with Tommy taking the lead. Some assume Rachav Rai is humiliating herself. But a secret smirk curls on her lips. With another bite of a jelly bean, the tables turn. Tommy's character falls straight into her trap. After only a few seconds of battling—

BOOM!

Rachav Rai wins.

Everyone is stunned.

Rachav: [😎] (Takes another jelly bean)

Tommy: (Doubting) You say you're a nun?

Everyone is curious. Her moves were too real and too calculated to be a miracle.

Rachav Rai: Mm-hm. Now, as a man of his words, it's time to listen.

Tommy: Haah… you're strange. Alright, preach away.

Few Guys: (Trying to slip away) Yo Tommy boy, we gotta go…

Tommy: (Glares) Not granted. You're not leaving me to listen to her sermon alone.

Few Guys: C'mon man!

They settle to listen.

Rachav: [😆]

 Eve of the Day — Empire Mansion

Mr Kamen: (Approaching the foyer) I will return in the morning.

Tiberius: Daddy, can you not go this time? I… I want to be tucked to bed. He will make you forget me, he will—

Mr Kamen's cold glare freezes him.

Mr Kamen: Let him finish intermediate quizzes. If he fails any, reduce his dinner portion.

Butlers: Yes, Sir.

Mr Kamen exits with his bodyguards.

 The Next Evening

Yancy: (Walking down the pavement) So whatcha got?

Caller (Elise): In summary from intel—Mr Kamen is indifferent to both genders.

Yancy: Yeah, I noticed. Anything else?

Caller (Elise): Oh boy… apart from that… he's gay.

Yancy: (Halts) Sorry—what?

The background fades into Mr Kamen's study. Yancy's memory echoes.

Memory (Elise): According to info, your client changed sexuality after the incident with his former wife.

Yancy Wil's eyes flick towards Mr Kamen's piercing gaze.

Yancy: [Oh shoot.]
