CHANCES

Chapter 2

"Where have you been MJ? I have been looking for you

She smiled "Good morning Avery am sorry for coming in late, I had a late night and had collected my own share of tongue lashing from manager this morning.

"Where is he? Anyway he kinda abandoned me after we left the building.

" He is at Wells making some arrangements he ordered that as soon as you are done here, I bring you there.

" Did you see the " GOSSIP NEWS" those leeches wrote that I was dating Kim Yoon Gi, we have to do damage control this could go out wrong for him.

" Am on it already, calling the reporters at "DISCUSS" to refute the rumor

"You are up", the camera director said and left as usual.

"Up? Where is the makeup artist?," I asked the thin air as he has closed the door and left.

" Here just add lipstick, your makeup is still intact.

Sally Dorton Show was one of the biggest talk show in town and anyone who was invited will see it as an achievement. Seated before me was the Sally Dorton herself, pretty in her own way with blonde hair and gracefully dressed in a blue gown. Well blue goes well for blondies. Facing the audience and the camera crew.

" welcome back everyone, I told you we have a very special guest , everyone please welcome Avery Sinclaire", Sally said.

As the audience cheered, I waved and smiled." Thank you it is an honor being here ,thank you for inviting me.

Sally smiled looked at the paper in her hand " You are welcome, I love your dress, you are even way prettier in person the photos didn't do your beauty justice.

I grinned " thank you.

"Now, Avery your book "Weeping Willow'' is one the best sellers and has amassed over hundred millions of copies, breaking records especially in the literature section and also you have become the youngest author to have achieve such feat since the times of Joan of Arc. How do u feel?

I laughed " I feel blessed and lucky, writing has been one of my favorite hobbies and I have always wish to win an Oscar and hope that dream come through.

" Did you expect or had thought that "weeping willow" will be this big.

" Actually No, I wrote it out of boredom out of all my books I least expected that it will be a best seller.

" That's good. So how has it been famous, interacting with your Fans.

" Well, it's been good and my fans have been absolutely amazing." I said this and blew a kiss to the camera and tmy fans in the audience cheered. " Thank you guys.

Sally smiled and clapped, " So aside from writing and stuff, what are Avery's hobbies or what do you when you are less busy.

" well in my spare time, I read, hangout, cook and watch K-dramas and stuff.

The audience cheered again.

" That's a way of relaxing, I heard that the World League made you one of its ambassadors that will head a program on book literacy and also I heard the Queen of Himsador invited you for her birthday. Wow you are so lucky.

" Haha, its luck I guess.

" what are your plans are you writing another book? Or are we expecting a movie remake of "weeping willow".

" well, I am working on something.

" Okay, now your love life, are you in a relationship?

The question took me aback but of course everyone has seen the article.

I smiled and replied, "Well I am single and am not dating anyone, I want to focus on my career. Hopefully work on making my fans happy.

During out the interview, I just smiled and answered monotones and few minutes later it was over, Sally thanked me for coming and gave me a gift basket. I had left in the car with MJ to Tiffany for the photo-shoot.

Stepping into the building, James met and took me to meet the art director for the collection I was going to model.

" how was the interview." He asked me as we entered the room.

" it went well,", I replied as I was handed over to the director who had given instructions to his assistants on what to do. I was tired and all I wanted was to go home, eat and sleep had to force the smile throughout for the shoot but at the end my pictures were bomb, breath-taking. I had no choice but to admire the photos as the photographer showed me some shots. MJ had brought some casual wears for me to change after photo-shoot I was tired of wearing heels and my face was stiff probably from too much smiling. As I sat down in my allocated side in the room eating bagels that Wells gave me. MJ joined me.

" I just got of the phone it was Midas Blog.

I whirled my head, " What did he say he wanted?

" he was calling to ascertain "if the rumors were true".

I rolled my eyes, " Dumb-ass! Like if it was true, I would ever tell him I hate that blog! That idiot almost caused me a big deal because of his stupid Gossip.

" Well welcome to the life of a celebrity, on the streets you are a catch and all these paparazzi, press and stuff they all feed from you guys and they are the ones who still make you famous, if they were no blogs and stuff. Celebrities won't exist.

I stared at her, "true but they don't have to go lying like that, am not dating Kim am not even his type.

She swirled her head at me "you guys are on first-name basis now.

"What the hell? He is just a friend and why are we having this conversation anybody that calls or stuff tell them that am unavailable be strict and professional.

"Yes, ma

I looked at her, "what's with the sass?

"Nothing, just goofing around.

"I don't find that funny," I said and left.
