[008] alice kim, the black hole

                              If there was one thing Alice Kim knew how to do the best, it was rule the fucking red carpet.

                              Wearing one of her best dresses to the RECNY ball, Alice knew that she looked amazing. But hearing the paparazzi scream their praise certainly helps. Alice has a big bright smile on her face but there's a fire burning behind her eyes, one the cameras catch with each picture they take. Roman and his girlfriend, Grace, aren't too far away but in Roman fashion, he was being silly and ridiculous every chance he could get. Her parents were also close by, taking pictures and answering questions. Even without being in the office, her parents were constantly at work.

                             She just knew that it was going to be a very long night.

                             "Alice, darling, come over here!" Marlo waves her over with a smile.

                             Alice knew that Marlo only ever called her darling in front of people so that she could look like a good and caring mother. People had bought that lie for years. Even when news of Alice's partying ways reached the tabloids, there was an outpour of sympathy and support for Alice's parents. They wondered how someone as screwed up as Alice could come from two perfect parents. Well, if anyone would've just asked Alice, she would've told them that they weren't looking at the full picture.

                           "Hello, Alice, you look absolutely stunning tonight," the interviewer greets Alice with a smile.

                            Alice mirrors her smile, flipping her hair over her shoulder afterwards. "Thank you."

                          "I was just speaking to your parents about Moderne but I was hoping to get your input on it. Now that you're the Editor-In-Chief, I'd love to hear your plans about what to do with the iconic magazine," the interviewer replies before handing the mic back over to Alice.
