Chloe's Point of View

Dun dun dun da da dun dun dun dun dun dun dun...

Groaning, I stretch over for my phone, not bothering to open my eyes.


I don't usually like my sleep but I just had surgery and I'm tired. The last thing I want is to wake up to the sound of an incoming call.

Who the hell is calling me?


Pressing the green button, having memorized where it is and can press it with my eyes closed which I do, I answer the call and put my phone to my ear.

"Hello?" I say, my voice is dead asleep.

"Am I waking you, Darling?" I hear an English voice laugh.

"No, you aren't Clara," I tell her, smiling a little. "What time is it?"

"Quarter to ten." She tells me.

I open my eyes and wince a little at the bright sun that hits my eyes. I carefully sit up and rest my back on the bed rest.

It hurts to move and the pain in my leg hits me like a truck.

You'd think after having the surgery, the pain would go away.

I can't wait for it to be fucking gone.

"What's going on?" I ask my lawyer, trying to hide my discomfort. "Who do we have to sue?"

She laughs. "I'm sure you'd love the scandal."

"You know me too well Clare," I say. "No but seriously. What's up?"

"I just got off the phone with Erika." She tells me.

I rub my tired eyes.

Erika Savage is the Supervisor of Morphe partnerships. She along with Myles Mccormick and Simon Cowell, the CEO and President of Formabrands, the business that owns Morphe, are helping me and taking full charge of the Lawrence Lip.

Why was Clara talking with Erika?

"What were you guys talking about?" I ask.

"You are either going to be super happy or super pissed." She tells me.

I can hear her "innocent smile".

"What is it, Clara?" I ask her.

I don't really wanna deal with this right now.

"We're able to push the completion of the lipsticks!" She spits out.

What?

"T-the lipsticks aren't supposed to be done more another week." I remind her. "What did you do Clara?"

"Nothing!" She says. "Erika suggested having everything ready a week in advance and I agree. It gives you more time to see the product and get excited about the reveal!"

She's not wrong.

"Thank you for doing that Clara." I thank my lawyer. "You really didn't have to. It's not your job-"

"If I can be of assistance, then I will do whatever I can Darling." She tells me.

"This is why I love you," I tell her.

"And I love you more."

I smile and look to my side, looking at my boyfriend.

I find him looking at me with a smile on his face.

'G'morning.' I mouth to him, leaning down and kissing him.

'Good morning BabyGirl.' He mouths back.

I smile and put a hand in his hair, listening to what Clara is telling me.
