Yes. He refused the offer for the home visit because of his bf and he did not want to inconvenience him by coming out so publicly. The seniors at his company were jealous of how many opportunities he was getting (photoshoots/ acting jobs) even though he had not been with their company for long. The guy he thought was a friend at work, told everyone how he was complaining about these opportunities (sounding ungrateful) when they were not being given to everyone else. So they paid someone to take fake photos(?)/ stalk him. They found out he was living with another guy and probably pieced together that, they were an item and that was why he did not want to do the home visit with the cameras. Honestly, I understand how he feels, if you are putting your all and then some into something you are dead set on doing but everyone is trying to steer you away from that, I would pissed too. He has been working towards being a suit actor since he was a kid he knows what he wants.
I was also confused at first so I understand your frustration. Hope this helps but you pretty much got it.
What the fuck happened on chapter 9. I'm reread it so many times and I still don't fucking understand
