"Hi, Mrs. Viet. This is Selena with—""Not interested." Click."Hi, Mr. Wantz. This is Selena with Panda Tea products. We make—""Fuck off, bitch!" Click!!"Hi, Mr. Sanford. This is Selena with Panda Tea products. We make a green tea validated for your health that is guaranteed to help you maintain good health and ensure long-lasting—""I told you guys to take my name off your list. You just woke me up. Shit!" Click."Well, good day, sir," I said as the man hung up on me. This was hell. It was eight a.m., and I'd made hundreds of calls around the globe. I'd ticked off women in Tacoma, irritated men in Vancouver, and woken sleeping women with beautiful dreams in NY.I stared around the boiler room at the telemarketers screaming into their phones, trying to sell the Panda product. At least Mr. Sanford gave me a chance to introduce it.The door to the boiler room opened, and Kay Gordy, the boiler room diva who also happened to be my friend, came in with popcorn in hand. Her little son, Ju

I got to hand it to Corby for booking me a first class ticket. I thought I had to worry about cramping myself up in commercial and finding it hard to sleep. I hardly sleep in a crowded place. Not that I have the guts to be picky. If I had been booked for commercial, I would've gone, still.I placed my bag in the compartment above me before sliding into the chair next to the window. The plane was not yet about to leave so I sent a quick text to Corby saying I just got on board the plane and then sent a message to Kay telling her to wish me luck.The flight attendant passed by my seat and I smiled up at her. She gave me an uncomfortable nod of her head before scurrying off. I glared around me before opening the compartment in front of me. In it was a eye wear for sleeping and ear plugs.I was just about to get into the mood of snuggly do-do when a young man sat next to me. By God!, I'm happy I wasn't yet sleeping or I would'

"What!"I was up on my feet now, pacing round the room. How come I didn't know that? Does the world know that? How did Kay find out when I just checked him out some hours ago."Fabrico Zunino has a twin, girl. His name is Emiliano.  And it's probably him you saw just now" Kay piped.I'm dumb right now. I don't even know what to say. "Does the Pap know? Is it a well know news?" I asked Kay."I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Why?""How come I didn't know that?""Your an introvert Selene. You don't give two fucks about celebrities and you're lactose intolerant""Why did you have to say that last part? It doesn't fit in this discussion" I rolled my eyes."I know. I just wanted you to know that I know you so well" Kay said and I'm sure she's giving her triumphant smile right now or checking herself in the mirror as she smirks."What

I woved my hands through my hair as I shut the door to my suite behind me. Safe in the confines of my room again, where no one can stare into my soul, or ask me questions I don't want to answer. I placed my purse on the armchair and took my flats off.The bathroom called me as I made my way for a hot bath but there was a knock on my door. Groaning inwardly, I walked back to the door. I didn't call for a hotel attendant.I opened the door to see Fabrico standing there. To be sure I saw well, I took off my glasses, rubbed my eyes and wore it back again. Surely this was Fabrico and not Emiliano. I've come to recognise the difference between them"What are you doing here?" I asked."You left your coat" He raised my black coat up and I took it from him after muttering a thank you."Do you um...want to come in?"He nodded and I gave him way so he could slip into the room. His ey

"What party?"Kay toppled over some books on my desk, I stared at her hoping for an explanation prior to what she just said."Corby is holding a party. Heard from one of the director of the boards that it's celebrating our collaboration with RR enterprise"I sucked in a breath. How come I didn't know of this. And if there is really going to be a celebration party, Fabrico might be there. That's if he doesn't send Karen to come in-stead of him.Kay waved her hands in front of me several times. "Earth to Selene""Well then, that's good" I flipped my laptop on getting down to work. I have up to hundred emails. Most from buyers of our product.Kay took the seat in front of my desk. "Whoah, hold up. That sounds like you're not going for the party""What's the need?""You were the one who struck the deal and you know Corby would love for you to
