5 years later...
"Ms. Blackstone, would you care to comment on the photo that leaked some of the clothes in the company's newest clothing line?"
"Is there any more information on the rumors about you dating an NBA player?"
"Any comments about your best friend calling you out?"
I heard the reporters screaming and shouting all different kinds of questions at me as I made my way to my car with my bodyguards following behind me as I left the TV studio that I just had an interview at. My bodyguards tried their best to block the mics and cameras being put in my face by the reporters, paparazzi, and fans that were surrounding the car. Once I was able to finally get to my car the driver opened the back door for me as I got in and he closed it back. He then went and got into the driver's seat and got ready to pull off.
"Where to, Boss?"
"Take me back to the company please, Jeremy. I need to finish something before I go home."
"You got it. It seems the reporters are a bit more determined for you to answer their questions today, Boss."
"Yeah. They're getting restless. However, I have nothing to say on any of the matters."
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you have plans for your birthday, Boss?"
"Uh... I'm not sure. I mean you know I don't really celebrate it but I'm going to be 23 tomorrow so I may go out for a little."
"Why not take a trip back home? I'm sure your family misses you."
"No. I have too much here that needs to be done."
"Understandable."
Me and Jeremy, my driver, sat in silence for the rest of the car ride. When he dropped me off at the company, I sent him home giving him the rest of the day off. Jeremy is no older than 24 so I've Developed a good bond and connection with him. He does have a point though, it's been 5 years so maybe a visit back home wouldn't be so bad.
I sighed and entered my company building and went straight to the elevator to go up to the top floor where my office was. As I walked down the hall from the elevator to my office I was stopped by my assistant AJ.
"Hey, Boss?"
"What is it, AJ?"
"Well, I wanted to let you know that you have some visitors in your office."
"What have I told you about leaving people in my office alone?"
"I'm sorry Ms. Blackstone but they kept insisting that I let them. I had no choice, they just barged into your office saying they were your brothers and that you wouldn't mind them being there."
"Why was my door unlocked? I locked it before I left here."
"I had to go into it to put those files you asked for with the new designs on your desk and that's when they showed up."
"Fine. You're dismissed."
AJ walked off while I went to my office, entering it to see Jason and Nick sitting on the couch near the window.
"Well well well, if it isn't the princess of the fashion empire herself."
Jason said as he stood up holding his arms out as if expecting a hug. I couldn't help but smile at him.
"Hi Jason. Nick."
"Hey little sis."
Nick spoke as I gave them both a hug and took a seat in the chair opposite of the couch and they sat back in their spots.
"So, what brings you both here? It's been 5 years and you haven't flown out here once to see me. Why now?"
"Well, your 23rd birthday is tomorrow, we missed you and we wanted to see if you would be willing to come back home."
"Jason, I love you both so much but I can't. I have a fashion empire that I'm on top of. There's so much here that needs to be done... I-I can't leave. Not right now."
"Relax baby sis, it would only be for a week or two. We've been keeping up with everything going on with you and it seems like you could really use the break."
"Nick is right, Winter. Between the rumors, scandals, drama, owning what? 2 really big companies under the same name and about 6 boutiques all over the country, you have a lot going on and you really need the break. Besides, everyone misses you."
"It's been five years. Only you two and Roya have texted me. I doubt anyone actually misses me. Besides, Roya was out here 3 weeks ago to see me."
"Can you please just come back home?" Nick begged as he leaned forward putting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his folded hands.
Sighing I glanced away then back to the both of them, "when?"
"Tonight. We have a meeting with some business partners who are interested in helping us open another club out here. After that we're getting on a flight to go back home."
"I'll think about it. But if I do, we're taking my private jet."
"That works for us." Jason said as he glanced over at Nick who nodded his head in agreement.
Smiling I stood up and made my way over to my desk turning my laptop on and started getting ready to finish some things. Jason and Nick stood up as well and walked over as they stood in front of my desk. Glancing up at them, as I was waiting for them to speak.
"How do you feel about lunch in about let's say an hour?" Jason asked me.
"That's fine. Are you paying?"
"I'll pay." Nick responded, beating Jason to answering my question.
"Ok. I'll see you then. Now please, I have some important things that I need to finish."
The boys nodded then walked out. I put my attention back on my computer and got to work. Due to a picture that was posted a few weeks ago, some of the surprise pieces in my new clothing were exposed so now I'm trying to design some new ones. I have my designers working around the clock to either sketch up designs that may work or sew up the sketches I've already approved of. It hasn't been easy because the company is also competing against one of our biggest competitors to get a spot in one of the world's biggest and most famous Fashion shows.
Looking through some of my old sketches from when I was younger, I was trying to see if I could find a design good enough to recreate. I've found a few that have looked good enough but when I got to recreate them I get stuck or it starts out good and I just lose focus and it gets fucked up. It's like I'm having a creative block because I have no ideas, at least not ones that I like or that I feel like fit what I'm trying to do right now.
Maybe a vacation won't be such a bad idea. I could really use one right now. Maybe I could get some inspiration on a new design to do.
I grab my phone and text the pilot of my private jet asking if he would be free to fly to Chicago tonight. When I got an answer confirming that he was willing and able then I connected my brothers saying that I would have a bag packed to leave out, however, I would only be staying for a week. My brothers agreed and with that I got ready to leave the company.
"Hey AJ?"
"Yes boss? What do you need?"
"I'm going home. I have a really bad headache and my brothers want me to spend time with them this evening. I will also be leaving for Chicago tonight and will be back one Monday from today."
"Alright, would you like me to do anything to prepare for your trip? Do you need me to come as well?"
"No, I have everything under control. I just need you to stay here and take care of things here while I'm gone. Make sure you let me know if anything happens."
"You got it boss. Make sure you take this time to relax. We have things here and I know that you've been working really hard lately."
"I will, thank you AJ."
