"Still with a designer as famous as you, you'd expect it to be in the news on some level," Tristian said, because even minor celebrities like designers of the acclaim of Tristian and definitely Yasu, didn't really get the luxury of deciding which aspects of their lives were private. It didn't bother Tristian, mainly because it wasn't like he had anything to hide.

He looked sheepishly at the women, "Well to answer for Yasu. We're rivals and don't have the best history." he said, not sure why he felt guilty, but something about the women made him want to at least somewhat explain things. "I hired Ren out from under his nose for one." he said, but he didn't feel guilty about that, couldn't, "Which was absolutely the best decision of my life, but you know..." he shrugged.
