'He's… he's gay?'
'Wait, what the hell is going on right now?'
'Is that… a guy he's kissing?'
'No way. Who's the other man?'
'How did this image even get on the screen?'
'Did the CEO seriously upload that on purpose?'
'That looks like a man… a whole man!'
'This company—what kind of sick joke is this?'
'I… I don't get it. Is this part of the show?'
'CEO Augustine is kissing a man!'
'Oh my God, what the actual hell is happening?!'
The murmurs in the audience grew louder, filled with shock and disbelief as eyes darted from one person to another, trying to make sense of what they were seeing.
The image on the projector was undeniable—clear and easy to grasp.
It showed CEO Augustine Wales standing by a roadside, his body pressed close to a young man whose arms were wrapped tightly around him as they shared a passionate, unmistakable kiss.
The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly, tension crackling through the silence that followed the stunned whispers.
