AaliyahIf there's one person who might be straight with me, it's Peach. I need to find out what's going with the sequel....and with Zarah.
I take out my phone and dial Peach's number but she doesn't answer. Desperate, I try again.
Is she not picking up on purpose? Do they have something going on without me knowing about?! I can't give up that easily, I need to get in touch with her.
Maybe Scarlett can arrange a meeting, as long as she still has her contact information.
The good new are that Peach agreed to meet up with Scarlett at her book store and that's my cue to just get in there and call Peach out.
God damn why is my life so messed right now?

"Anastasia, get that good for nothing Jungkook in here. I know it was his stupid ass."
She bows down at me "Right away, Mister Kim."
Less than two minutes Jungkook walks in, having a confused expression on his face "What is it?" He comes closer to the desk
"Don't sit down."
"Okay...."
"No I don't want to hear a word just answer me this. Did you approve 'On The Market' for publishing without the author's consent?"
"I—" looking for words he blinks faster "well...the thing is....I mean I wouldn't say the woman said "yes", but—"
I stand up, eyes darken as he stops talking, getting the sign that he fucked up "I knew it was your incompetent dickhead but it might be enough for you to know you risk being criminally prosecuted."
"Wha—"
"I'm starting to think that Aaliyah didn't know anything at all. You have a lot of trouble to get yourself out of." I brush my hand through my hair, so fucking angry that I could beat the shit out of this dumbass "Listen, if you want to keep your job and avoid prison.....You'll get back to your desk and let me clean up this mess."

The next morning
I can't believe I've slept in again. I've been so tired lately. It's must be everything that's going on—
And as I unlock my phone, I see that I have three missed calls from Scarlett. I quickly text her back, worried that something's wrong
