‘You’re going to be late for this event. I can’t believe you’re sleeping girl it’s 9am already and the event is scheduled for 12pm come on get up! Up!’ Sophie said pulling up the window blinds to lighten up the room.
‘Being a celebrity is so difficult it’s either I’m in the gym working out, on the run way, trying to meet up for a photo shoot, in those company meetings for projects and contracts, or I’m traveling for some brand advertisement, the list is endless, I can barely sleep or eat without constantly being reminded I have something to do next it’s exhausting. I just want to sleep ? let me sleep for a tiny witty little bit that won’t kill anybody. The event is by 12 right? Let me sleep for an hour, just give me one hour I’m so tired ?’ Pearl whined turning over to the other side of the bed.
‘ Well I’m sorry miss pretty little best friend you don’t have one hour, you don’t even have another spare minute. You know how you love to be low profile and entering the hall unnoticed aside that we need to choose and pick a befitting outfit, get your hair and makeup done and the event is at the outskirts of town. So you have to get up, get up and let’s get this started. Madam Aliya can’t even get you prepared cause you won’t even listen, your housekeeper has to be …… I rather not say just get up and get to the bathroom let’s get started already.’
‘With the way you’re already whining I know I won’t have a moment of peace if I don’t stand up so you win. Ask madam Aliya to get my cup of coffee ready I would be downstairs in 5’
(DOWNSTAIRS)
‘Madam Aliya how do you cope with Pearl, she’s quite a handful you know.’
‘Well I think she’s such an amazing person, a hard worker and more. I’ve watched her evolve from a struggling young girl with big dreams to a star and now a successful business woman. Such a workaholic ????? always complaining about not getting to sleep enough but never missing an opportunity to make money and heap more profits funny girl ‘
‘ you forgot to add maintaining beauty Pearl is seriously cautious about her looks even when casual she can’t be caught unfresh. If she wasn’t my friend I would have thought she was crazy her mood swings are mad but she’s the sweetest. ‘
‘Gossiping about me huh? ‘ Pearl said walking down the stairs
‘Your coffee ma’am’ Madam Aliya quickly handed over before walking back to the kitchen
‘Can I hear you roll over the schedule for the day again my miss perfect timekeeper ‘
‘Well madam Pearl I’m not your personal assistant I’m just filling this shoes cause you’ve vehemently refused to get yourself one and trust me it hasn’t been so sweet I babysit you like you’re a toddler come on! ‘
‘ Says the girl that makes use of my black card and goes on shopping spree with or without my consent. Should I also make mention of all those trips and using my cars spontaneously. ‘
‘Whatever let’s just get going to get you all dressed and ready. Star girl has to be shinning always ‘

‘Boss you have an event by 12pm today and you’re to be accompanied by miss Candy. Your stepmother insists that you can’t go alone. ‘
‘Chris! ‘ Larry called out in a very dangerous voice still looking out the window with his back faced towards the door.
‘Yeeesss booosss’ Chris replied in a shaky voice
‘ Are you deliberately trying to get on my last nerves’
‘No Boss but…..’
‘Save your buts to yourself. My sick aging and dying father got married to that sinister woman, that status climber and Mrs all goody two shoes I didn’t! I was made by no one and can be destroyed by none ! I am Larry Thompson president, founder and CEO of LAT Groups. I worked and built it from the scratch and made it what it is today. I don’t need anybody’s validations to do whatever get that into your thick skull. ‘
‘I’m sorry boss’
‘Quit being sorry and start being responsible ! I don’t pay you to be sorry or to listen to idle and malicious people, I pay you to be active and responsible. As for that candy girl or whatever she’s called I can’t stand her and you know it , so I’m not going for that event you can go on my behalf as usual’
‘ Boss this is an important event and it might interest you to know that Pearl Gomez was on the exclusive VVIP list too’. Anthony tried to convince his ever stubborn boss
‘Did I hear you correctly ? Gomez would be there? ‘ Larry inquired
‘ yes she would boss. She has a habit of always attending earlier than the scheduled time to avoid the paparazzi and all you know she likes being low profile. I just to let you know. ‘
‘ interesting get the car and my suit ready then. No colored suits please I want an all black outfit today. As for the noisy Candy tell her to ensure she’s ready in an hour or else I won’t be available to wait for anyone then lastly ask the flower bank to deliver 100 roses in the event to my idol Pearl Gomez it should be exquisite and grand no blunders or nuisance would be tolerated check for her preferred fragrance and ensure it’s done. I like the sender to be anonymous got it? ‘
‘Yes Boss I will get right to it sir ‘
‘If there’s nothing else I beg to be left alone’
