Maxwell had been in the industry for a long time, a little below two decades and the highlight of his career was when he managed to get Linda Thorne, the daughter and only heir of the Thorne Empire, one of the biggest companies in the country, under him. That had finally gained him his well deserved respect from his superiors in the agency and even in the industry. And it was even better that she was incredible at her job and very quickly climbed up the ranks becoming one of the most sought after models internationally and he had been her agent for over a half of a decade. She had become a renowned name in the industry, and everyone clamored to work with her but only he knew how childish and sometimes self-absorbed she could be.Maxwell’s job was to make sure her schedule was always tight and that she never missed any shoots or events and was always ready and prepared to stun everyone present with her flawless presentation and professionalism.

Erin had always been a hard worker, dedicated to her job and committed to doing her best in everything she did. So, when she accepted the position as Lucas’ new assistant, she had high hopes for the job. After all, she had an impressive resume and had received glowing recommendations from her previous employers.However, her enthusiasm quickly waned when she met her new boss. For one, Lucas was obnoxiously childish, always cracking jokes and making inappropriate comments. Erin found it hard to take him seriously and resented having to work for someone so unprofessional.To make matters worse, Lucas seemed to dislike her just as much. He was constantly questioning her abilities and undermining her authority, making it clear that he had no intention of letting her take charge.

Melanie had just gotten to work and settled on her chair to start checking through urgent emails when the elevator doors opened and a glamorously dressed young woman stepped out into the small hallway. She was tall and slender, with long, wavy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes that seemed to look right through her and Melanie can’t help but feel intimidated by her presence. She rose from her seat as the lady walked towards her and she was stunned when she saw closely how beautiful she was and was even more stunned at the resemblance they shared. The lady seemed taken aback upon seeing her too but she quickly schooled her features and curled her lips into a small smirk as she gave Melanie an obvious once-over and Melanie couldn’t help feeling self-conscious in her navy blue chiffon shirt and black suit pants.“Vinnie must have missed me quite a lot of he felt he had to hire a low budget lookalike to stay at his side everyday”.Melanie couldn’t help the scowl that crept up her face

Melanie got down from the taxi and patted down any creases in her navy blue chiffon top and black palazzo bottoms as Leila paid for the ride. As they opened the door and walked in, Melanie was surprised to see the employees running around and doing their various work with twice the speed and efficiency. Leila chuckled. “It seems the CEO called earlier about coming in today. That’s why they’re being so diligent”.Melanie turned to her. “The CEO? That’s Mr. Sinclair’s father?”.“Yeah. He comes once in a while to check up on things. He refused to hand everything over to Calvin since he isn’t dead yet. Sometimes he gives a warning of his coming or he comes unannounced. I think today is one of the days where he decided to inform beforehand”.“Then I should probably go up and stay working. Who knows when he’ll get here”. With that, Melanie bid Leila goodbye with a kiss on the cheek and hurried to the elevator.Hours passed by and she was busy reading and replying to emails and redirec

Luminous rays of sunlight streamed into the room though the unusually open window beside the bright peach vanity table announcing the arrival of a brand new summer day.Melanie Campbell blinked and turned in the fine solid oaken twin bed and shielded my date from the sunlight with a mauve pillow that matched the silk bedding.Her stomach growled noisily as she sat up drowsy, yawning and stretching. She swung her legs off the bed and began a zombie like trudge to the en-suite bathroom. She relaxed onto the toilet seat and relieved herself of the unnecessary fluids while running her eyes vigorously.She was washing her hands when she heard her cellphone ring. She turned off the faucet and rushed into the room to answer it and pushing the green button, she said, “Hello?”.“Morning, baby”, Her best friend, Erin Manchester yelled in a sing-song voice. “Are you ready to head out?”.“Do you have to shout into my ear? And what are you talking about? It’s still too early to go anywhere”.

“There you are!”, Erin exclaimed, waving frantically. Melanie rolled her eyes with a smile as she drove her battered car over to the curb where she stood.“I still have some minutes till it’s nine so I’m early”, Melanie told her friend as she got in and slammed the door.“Not exactly. It’s a right ten minute drive to our destination so we should hurry, we don’t want you to be late”, Erin said. She had bee the one to convince her best friend to apply for a job there because she had a friend who currently worked there who could at least lend Melanie a helping hand when she needed one and even give her a better opinion on her colleagues and superiors.“I can’t believe I woke up so late. It’s so unlike me”.“You were probably too excited to go to bed last night. You look nice though”, Erin told her, giving her a once-over.Her lips lifted into a small smile. “You look great too”, She told her, admiring her short raven hair and lavender dress.“Thanks. It’s too bad I can’t go in wit

Calvin frowned deeply, perplexed, rubbing his chin lightly as he stood in the elevator that took him up to the floor where he worked. Getting in, he pulled out his phone as he plopped down onto the upholstered sofa in the room and dialed a number.“This is quite surprising. You never call unless it’s something really important”, Came the silky smooth voice from the other end.“Where are you? I thought you were spending a couple of weeks in Milan for a magazine shoot”.“That’s where I currently still am. Aww, are you seriously worrying about me right now? Or are you just asking to be sure that I’m not cheating on you with someone else”.Calvin scoffed. “We both know I couldn’t care any less about who you roll in the sheets and have hot, steamy nights with, Linda. Just as long as you do the responsible thing, keep it out of the press, don’t make headlines with your escapades and embarrass both our families”.Calvin had know Linda Thorne ever since he was old enough to realize how

“Miss Campbell?”, Asked the young lanky man who stood at the edge of the hallway, close to the elevator, where the chairs were arranged.Melanie nervously nodded and her motioned for her to take a seat. She glanced at the other men and women that sat there waiting and she could feel her anxiety worsening. They all looked so prepared and we’ll dressed with their ramrod straight backs and polite smiles. She took a seat beside the last person and whispered to her, “Hi. Good morning”.The girl turned towards her with a finely arched eyebrow raised as she gave her a cool, superior look. “You’re not Linda Thorne”, She stated with a deliberately sardonic expression.“No, I’m not. My name is Melanie…”, She paused when she saw the lady turn away from like there was nothing more to see. She shut up immediately and glanced nervously at the others that minded their own business as they were each called into a room to get interviewed.Almost an hour later, the mean girl before her came out of th
