Shantel’s Journey

Meeting Mr Arthur Alexander

I woke up to the cold of the air conditioner, looking around only to find me, myself and I at the back of the car from last night. Preplexed, I came down and there was this guy who would pass for a personal assistant. I walked towards him and said ‘hey good morning, uhmm sorry for last night I was drunk and exhausted’ he smiled and said ‘ my boss said I shouldn’t wake you up until you do so by yourself anyways where’s your house so I can drop you off’ his boss? Oh wow anyways I smiled and thanked him and then he dropped me by the house gate. I came down, bidded my farewell and went in, then He drove off. ‘Damnn what was that’ I thought anyways it’s a new day so we gotta get it going.

I went in to hear Lucy calling me at the top of her voice, knowing very well that it’s nothing good. ‘I’m here’ I replied ‘do you understand that I am running late for the commercials with the studio?? Where the hell have you been’ she asked then went upstairs to her room, packed a bunch of stuff she’ll be using for the studio session, came down and threw them on me.’here have those, take them to the car and make sure nothing gets missing’ she warned and headed to grab a cup of warm milk from the kitchen cabinet. I took the things to the car and hurriedly went in to have a quick shower, dressed up in my new white knee length milk maid dress which made my boobs pronounced, perfect for my skin and the weather. Paired it with my white heels and a black leather bag, I headed out only to realized that she had left. Immediately I went out to get a cab but unfortunately it wasn’t possible. 3 blocks down, a lady in her mid 30 drove towards me ‘hey! Do you need a lift’ she asked I was beyond excited, hurriedly I entered in and she drove as fast as power bike.

I arrived star’s studio in less than 45 minutes, thanked her and walked in. Everyone was busy with the schedule for the day. James, the photographer signaled that I come over to help with the set up which I did, 5 minutes later Lucy arrived. The atmosphere became very tensed and immediately we started shooting. ‘Get me a pack of orange juice, 2 bottles of soda water, fruit salad and a burger’ Lucy requested. Immediately I headed out to the store adjacent the studio, got everything, while I was about to make payment, a man came behind me and said ‘add her bill to mine, don’t bother the sweetheart’ I turned to see who spoke and this was a very good looking man in his early forties with a well defined body although he looked a bit like someone I knew but it was just some similarities. Anyways I thanked him and headed back to the studio.

When I arrived, Lucy was already done with the shoot so we packed up and about to head out, Lucy said ‘Uhmm you are not coming with us, I have an engagement that wouldn’t require your presence but you’ll head over to the Alexander’s Group of companies to represent me at a meeting’ I was shocked at what she said! The Great Alexander’s Group of companies??? Me??? Meeting??? What the hell!! ‘What are you thinking?? It’s just one meeting and make sure you listen attentively because this is very important although I find them boring’ she sighed entered the car and zoomed off.

I stood in total shock and surprise but I had to do what I had to do. No wasting time I took a cab, headed straight the the company and was met with the country largest first class structure. ‘Wowwwwww this must cost hundreds of millions’ I thought, walked into the reception, met the receptionist and stated my reason for coming, she directed me into a room on the 3rd floor, I thanked her and went into the elevator. I got to the 3rd floor walked to the room I was directed, open the door and there was a not so pretty lady sitted in fear like someone that just encountered a ghost. I greeted and she asked if I was here for the meeting? I responded that I was representing Lucy Ricardo and she directed me to a massive conference room. I got to the door thanked her and open it. All eyes turned towards me but one specific eye pierced my soul ‘those eyes!!! I know this face!!!’ I immediately got flash back from last night, ‘It was him!!!!’
