episode one: The contract
The day started off like any other. Rosalie had been working as an assistant for big time record companies, which she loved doing because she loves helping people make their dreams come true, and being able to work with idols all the time was a bonus because she had a passion for keeping up with important schedules and doing makeup and fashion. She also specialized in editing, production, and dance, and many companies recommended her as the best in the business, but she had a dance injury that made her unable. Until she was fully recovered and ready to return to work, fortunately for her, a company requested her assistance, and she was so excited to get back to work.
Rosalie prepared herself in casual clothing consisting of blue jeans, a black shirt, and some cute boots. Her eyes widened at the sight of the place as she parked her car, stepped out, closed the door, locked it behind her, and entered the building. Her dark blue long hair, recently dyed, was put up in a cute bun. She hurried to her car and drove to the company IRIS, a large building that looked fancy on the outside. The gorgeous surroundings made it look like something you would see on a postcard, with a fountain in front of it and a perfectly manicured lawn.
She walked into the larger building, which was packed with people going about their daily business. She was directed to the front desk, where she patiently waited until it was her turn. The woman behind the desk smiled as she greeted her.
" how may I help you today". she said still smiling as she spoke.
Rosalie returned her smile and showed her her ID, which she wore around her neck as proof of her identity and occupation. "Hey, I am meeting with the CEO today."
After glancing at the ID, the woman grabbed her phone and called the CEO. "Sir, Rosalie Park is here for the 12:00 appointment with you, yes sir," she said, hanging up and turning to face Rosalie. "He is ready to meet you now. Go to floor three in the elevator, and the first thing you see is his office."
Rosalie thanked her, went to the elevator, and got to the third floor. When the doors opened, she saw an office directly in front of her. She knocked, and when she heard someone say to come in, she opened the door, shut it behind her, and shook the man's hand before he motioned for her to sit down.
"Miss Park Thank you for coming. I have heard wonderful things about you from other companies, and I had to get in touch with you when I learned about your multi-talented abilities. I also heard that you do not give up on training people easily, am I right? He looked straight at her as he asked.
Rosalie gave a nod."You heard correctly, sir."
He seemed relieved to hear her say those words before he spoke, and he smiled."That is wonderful to hear because I have a difficult-to-control idol who never seems to listen. All other help quit within a week because of his behavior. If you choose to work for him, I hope you will have better luck with him."
"How bad is he? He sounds like the devil from the way you describe him.
As he scratched the back of his neck, the man turned to face her.He is quite close to him, but he is difficult to manage and demands perfection or he becomes irate. Although the company would like to fire him, they are unable to do so because, although he may be a pain in the ass, he is our best singer and dancer, has a sizable fan base, and this company would be lost without him. He is aware of this".
"I think I can handle it, but wow, I am going to have my hands full with him.
The man picked up some papers and laid them out in front of her. She takes them and sees that they are a contract, which she knew was required for employees who work with celebrities to ensure that they keep their personal lives and schedules private so that fans do not find them or that the employees do something improper for the celebrities. The contract was not new to her, but what was in it was different because most of the standard rules were things she already knew, but some of the things made her eyes widen.
"Well, what is this? You are not serious." Her voice was shaky when she first spoke.
After clearing his throat, the man started talking."I understand that some of this may surprise you because it is not your typical contract, but our idol has a lot of needs that he wanted to be satisfied." He hoped this would not frighten her away because he needed her assistance.
"Certainly not! He is asking someone to perform all of his requests, including s****l favors! I am an assistant, not a f*****g hooker, and it is illegal for an idol to have such a contract! This could not have been done by his other assistants. She uttered those words in rage.
The man in front of her had already moved his chair aside before the yelling started because he knew she would not be pleased with this. I know it is not normal and it is against the law, but he somehow got approval for it. I am not even sure how he did it. I understand what you are saying, and I do not blame you for being upset. His other assistants quit before he made this new contract.
"I can not believe this, there is no way I am doing this," Rosalie said, returning to her chair, still upset about the situation.
"I understand, but before you make a decision, let me clarify that you will receive payment for your regular work and an additional $5,000 for your services. This will increase your weekly check to $10,000, and you can choose how many hours you work or even charge more for your services. Please consider your options and give me a call after you have done so." Rosalie took his number, even though it made her feel disgusted and angry, and she hurried home.
She spent the rest of the day at home cleaning and watching TV to distract herself from everything that had happened today. She was furious because she could not believe what she would have to do if she accepted the job, especially since it included s****l favors. She also knew that she would have to do these things in addition to her regular job until the contract ended, which she really did not want to do. She tried to wait for other companies to contact her, but all of them had spots filled, and within the next two weeks, her rent was due, leaving her with no money in the bank and running out of food, so she had no choice but to sign the contract, even though she hated herself for it. She called the CEO about accepting the job, signed the contract, and sent it in the mail, and then called the CEO about it. She was forced to meet the idol she would have to be with soon.
