A moment in time

Chapter 19: Fixing my mess

Durban turned out to be very eventful to say the least. I've never been this excited to go home even though I still need to clean up all the messes I made here in this place. Like I thought I went from puking goddess to a ghetto wig snatcher on social media in a split second and now it was affecting MD cause my management team called me telling me to release a statement to the public cause we were slowly losing clients slowly but surely which we can't afford to.

Andile booked us an early flight cause we had to go to the office today and do some damage control so we were all looking like hungry zombies as we settled in our designated seats.

"I'm done with Durban yhuuuu"I remark shaking my head  as I buckled my seat belt and they all laughed tiredly.

"especially you shame,Durban really made sure to fuck you up"Thunz added and I shake my head bending my mouth.

"Indinyisile shame"

At 12:25 we landed back in Cape Town and said our goodbyes to each other as we went our separate ways to our rides back home. I found my ride waiting for me as I exited the airport.

I got home and went to take a long steaming shower. As tired as I was I had to go to the office to check on things mind you my eyes can hardly open I just want to sleep. I got dressed in my formal pant suit and a plain khakhi shirt with black high heels and brushed my weave to the back tying it at the back. I took my bags and rushed off to my car.

"Afternoon Sinawo, any messages for me?"I ask as I breathlessly stopped in front of her desk. She gave me a note filled with all the contacts I needed to call back and I exhaled taking it. I headed to the elevator making my way to the office.

I found Andile already looking serious and busy on his laptop. See why he is the best.

"good thing you finally here girl you need to release a statement as soon as yesterday. I had already started with the statement the only thing you have to do is read it and then I'll make sure it reaches every media app"

"Perfect I think I'm ready"he looks at me shaking his head.

"Girl we know you going through a lot but we don't have to see it on your face. Good thing I always have make up on the go so I'll go fetch my make-up mini bag from my car and do something with that face. You look so bare I can't stand it"I roll my eyes shaking my head.

"Do what you need to do fast Andile we need to get this over and done with"I order and he nods walking out. I went back to my desk to call some of the important contacts that Sinawo underlined for me to call first. 90% percent of them were concerned clients trying to find out what's going on and just reassurance that this whole mess will be fixed and it will not affect business. Now here I am trying to calm them down when I also need to be told everything is going to be okey wow.

Andile did my make-up and in less then 20 minutes he was done. He placed the written statement  in front of me and I went through it once to memorize it then asked him to get the camera guy ready.

There were even promises like "I will be taking some time away from alcohol" in the statement Andile made me read I swear he wants to see the end of me,just imagine me taking time away from alcohol with my endless problems banganya. I also had to apologize to the organizers of the awards for causing disruption and literally ruining their ceremony.

The statement got released and the only thing left for us to do was to pray and hope that some sort of good will come out of this and just positive feedback from the public.

As I replied to the dozens of emails sent to me I heard Sinawo's voice sounding like she is approaching. I stood up and went to check what was going on and it didnt take long before Zwelethu appeared followed by Sinawo.
