I don't know what to do. I think what Peach is proposing might work but I need advice. It might not be a bad idea to let Scarlett in on this, she might have some valuable insight. She used to work in this business and she has experience dealing with Peach.
"So let me get this straight.....Kim Taehyung is the real publisher but he had no idea you never signed off on it?"
"Exactly. And now Peach wants me to keep writing but let Zarah be the face of everything. I don't know what to do."
Scarlett looks thoughtful but her face becomes masked with a deep frown "I don't know about this deal. I don't like it. I mean, do you really want to work with Peach?"
"I wouldn't have to work with her much and the money would be good. Besides, I have Taehyung to back me."
Scarlett rolls her eyes "And I don't think you should accept it. What's more....I think you should stop seeing Taehyung. You've been lied to by everyone, including him. It's not right."
She's so negative about this whole thing....but maybe she's right? "You do have a point. I don't know if I can trust anyone."
"Exactly. I warned you before about these people and look at what happened. Take my advice now and get out."
This isn't really helping.....she seems more upset than I am.
Just then my phone buzzes, it's Zarah who's texting me about meeting her at our local Starbucks in an hour. And I definitely want to know what's on her mind so I just text her back with a 'sure.'
"Scarlett I have to go , I'm meeting Zarah."
She shakes her head as if she's annoyed "Should I wish you good luck?"
I walk into the cafe and spot Zarah, as soon as I'm within earshot, words rush out of her mouth "I want you to accept Peach's deal."
I sigh then sit down "hello to you too."
"Sorry.....I'm just....I need this."
"You can't give up the fame and glory, huh?"
"It's more than that. I wouldn't expect you to understand." Zarah looks away nervously "I know I'm hard to get along with and I know I annoyed you and everyone else in the office. Expect maybe for Blake."
"Well, I—"
"Don't bother denying it and to be honest, for the longest time, I didn't care what people thought of me.......or how obnoxious I was being." She seems reluctant to continue
