Imperfectly, Perfect

He stopped her from walking away by holding her arms. His brows are furrowed and needless to state the obvious that he was annoyed. "Why do you have to do that, Faulty Grace? You ruined my date. Again." Faulty Grace brisk his hands away and wipe her arms where his hands were once, rolled her eyes on him.  "What? I just told her that last night was fun. And it was true. I had fun on my shoot last night, most especially that you were not there." "Really?" He looked unamused with her antics. "You know you give her the wrong context, you provoke her. And look what happened?! Also, why did you pour champagne on her?! Now, I have to pay for her clothes that you ruined,. " He exclaimed.    "It's not like you don't have the money to cover the cost, and why do you have to pay for the dress when you can just pay for the dry cleaning cost.  And for your information, she tugged my dress that your sister designed and is not yet out in the market and we all know what will happen once something happen to this dress. Eris will go wild for sure." She reasoned out. "And it's not like, you'll have hard time finding a new date." She added with disgust and disagreement in her voice.   "Well, yes. But she's a good company, most especially in bed." Faulty Grace almost wanted to wear off her sandals and use its heels to knock on her agent's temple, thinking maybe, just maybe, it will knock him some sense.   "Anyway, since you ruined my date, how about you buy me a c****m and bring it tomorrow. I'll pay you as soon as we see each other." He said in a demanding and with a perverted smirk on his face. "You, jerk! Do I look like someone who wants to know how active your s*x life is? That's freaking TMI! p*****t!" Regardless being her agent, Faulty shouted at his face shamelessly before kicking his knees and ran away.   Nescire Array Fausto took his time laughing and watching her stormed out on the hallway before going back inside to his condominium unit. This is actually nothing new, and he wouldn't lie that at first, her attitude really pissed him but he also knows that she has all the reason why. Besides, when he decided to take her under his wings, the exact day her mom signed a contract with him to be her manager, he already prepared himself for stuffs like this. He just get used to this as he had no choice moreover that she's his younger sister's best friend.   "Yo! What are you giggling about?! For someone who just had his date night ruined, and got your extracurricular activities for the night cancelled,  you don't seem sad nor pissed at all."His Dorm Mate, Lawrence, noticed. The tall man with curly glutinous black  hair, thick and shaped brows, slightly upturned eyes, well raised nose, round full lips, and strikingly well rounded jaw, is wearing a three-piece suit and is reading a printed report in his hand looks at him in confusion. "I was not giggling. The stress got into your brain that you get illusion right now buddy?" Nescire, who goes by the name Array as a model and public figure, replied.   "Yeah? You are calling me a liar right now when you did not even bother wiping that grin off your face. Very nice, brother. " Lawrence nonchalantly said.   Nescire was not even aware that he was grinning, which he immediately stop doing when Lawrence point it out.   "Well, I mean, she's starting getting lame anyway. My talent's bratty a*s serves its purpose sometimes, don't you think so?" Lawrence brow only raised by his answer and chuckled while shaking his head.   "Ah, so, are you mad at her or you like her?" Lawrence ask casually, still focused on reading the financial reports and analysing its data. He's not really expecting anything from his friend anyway.   "Don't get me wrong. I don't tolerate her actions, her attitude still irritate me. And I am sure that if people only knew what she really is, they'll know how much of a devil that woman is, in angel's disguise. She made a scene earlier when she pour champagne on my then-date. God!Why is she making things harder for me?!" The idea of how he needs to make a statement and clear her name has now dawned to him and is now making himself irritated, however, all that took Lawrence attention and made him grin.    "That is a bit of so much for an explanation and it did not even convince, but okay, I'll buy it. " He even tapped his friends shoulder as he sit beside him, much to Nescire's irritation.   Nescire shoot Lawrence a glare. "You know what else I am thinking, Lawrence?" Still not looking at his friend's direction, Lawrence showed signs that he is interested by humming and dropping the papers to the table. Lawrence is a part-time CEO and a full-time gossipmonger in a nutshell.   "What is it?" "I am thinking of ways to kick you out of my dorm, you dumb ass." Nescire hissed and before he could hit his friend, Lawrence has already stood up, picked up his documents and left running. "Oh no, you wouldn't. Not until, I marry your sister and start our family!" The tall man shouted while entering his room and immediately close it. --------------------------------------------------------------  "Faulty Grace Elizaldeee!!!" She had to get her phone far away from her ears hearing her best friend's cringing scream of her long a*s name. Ugh! How she hates it. "What the f**k do you need at this late night hour, Angel Eris Fausto?" She asked with a sass, completing her best friend's name knowing very well the person on another line hates it. That's why they are friends anyway. "b***h, d'you really have to say my name in full? And who are you fighting? Why does my company had to be dragged on your post?" Eris asked sounding a little bit irritated with a little bit of concern.   "You started first, Eris. And who else do I fight with? Obviously it's your Kuya!" She said rolling her eyes in annoyance. Kuya is a filipino term  for an older brother, and unfortunately, that is what her manager is to her best friend.  "Ugh! Tell me honestly, was your brother conceived out of resentment that even though he is as white as the r****h, he still has a dark conscience?" Eris burst out laughing, even clutching her stomach and getting red from too much laughter, even her eyes become misty.  "Oh my god! Oh my god! Faulty, how are you so funny? I can't wait until Mom heard of this. Oh my god!" She's still laughing while trying to compose her words. Faulty frowned. " You find that funny? Geeez, Eris, just what kind of life did you lead to find that lame thing funny? I am not even trying to make fun of anything here." She said. Eris cleared her throat as she collected all her wits that seems to fall out of the basket after laughing too hard. "I don't know about what happen but I am certain that my Kuya is very nice. He is so nice to everyone that many girls think he is flirting with them when in fact, he is only trying to be nice. I am sure, you are the one who did him wrong that's why you are fighting again." Eris was changing narrative when she's talking to her brother and her best friend, she thinks that maybe, just maybe, she could help them reconcile. "Yeah, yeah whatever. Tell him, he maybe whiter than me but I am pretty." Faulty said dropping the subject.   "Woah? Who told you that?"   "I did. The best validation comes from yourself anyway. And besides, I am your house's ambassador." She said in a matter-of-fact tone before fastly changing the subject. "Anyway, I'm stressed. I'm gonna party til morning, are you coming?"   "As if my brother would let me." Eris said. "Lol. What are you five. b***h, you are twenty-six, go out and meet some people out of the business society."   "Fine. I'll try to sneak out. Wait me." Eris said opening her closet, checking her clothes. She doesn't want to stand out and she also doesn't want to look out casted. Hello, she's clothing line owner and designer for a reason.   "Can you send me a pick of what you are wearing for tonight? I think I'mma need some referrence." She asked her best friend.   "Sure. I'll hang up to take a picture and call you again." Faulty said before ending the call.   Faulty was fast to take a picture of herself before sending it to Eris. She was wearing a dark red cami crop top with spaghetti straps paired with miniskirt and boots. The outfit fits her perfectly as it hugs her curves and accentuated her color, she looks hot and sexy. From what Faulty was wearing, Eris decided to pick up her outfit--- A long sleeve v-neck bodysuit paired with jeans and heeled booties. When her phone ring, she immediately pick it up. "I saw the picture and gurl, I know, I was right when I picked you as the face of my clothesline. Yes, wait me in the parking lot, I'll see you there in 45 minutes." She said and hang up before starting to put on her make up for almost 8 minutes, change her clothes and checks on if her brother or his friend from the next door is watching, as soon as she confirmed they were not. She left silently and carefully.
