Cameras were flashing none stop, although uncomfortable, one has to get used to it in this line of work.
A-list actors and actresses made their way on the red carpet, posing for pictures, you could imagine the tasteless headlines being drafted.
It was the Premiere of a film, by a critically acclaimed director who had a neck for working with many new faces in the industry, a 'breathe of fresh air' is what she often referred too it. It was none other than Robyn Fenty, with her leading actress Onika Minaj.
Onika was a rookie and lucky enough to get her debut on such a big film, with an impressive budget.
Among the guests was Beyonce Knowles, who had a hand in financing the film. She swimmed in riches and kept her net worth private, there was no telling the amount of money she had.
A private individual at best, her reputation was squicky clean, it didn't make sense, no scandals whatsoever. Although she wasn't a celebrity, her financial status and involvement in the film industry raised a few lenses not to mention her beauty. With that face and body one might question her career path.
So here she was momentarily posing for pictures, although she'd rather much get in the venue through the backdoor, she had to support her best friend Rihanna who gave her an earful in not missing the Premiere.
A photographer asked for pictures with the whole team. She stood, looking out of place with a forced smile. Don't get her wrong, she was naturally awkward in public, but in the boardroom she was a different kind of beast, ask any of her employees, not that they'd say anything.
After a few clicks and flashes, the cast and production team took turns taking pictures with Beyonce, it's crazy to think this was their world but everyone saw Beyonce as this big celebrity.
Before the film could start, everyone used those few minutes as a bathroom break.
Beyonce was always with her security personnel but not in the bathroom. Luckily all the stalls were empty except for one, guests were probably mingling and taking their seats.
Just as she was about to get in an open stall, she could hear muffled cries in the closed stall, out of concern she knocked and the person occupying it kept quiet. She took that as a sign to mind her business.
After using the toilet, she got out to wash her hands and was met with a familiar figure, leading actress of the film, Onika. Who refused to look up and left the bathroom quickly.
The film was great, a great investment Beyonce thought. As the credits rolled just before the lights could be turned on, she quickly left the cinema. Being Beyonce involved doing such, always arriving purposely late and leaving early to avoid interactions of any kind. All it takes is an innocent picture with someone or interaction and things get taken out of context. Her reputation was so important and she did everything with the help of her team to keep it that way.
On her way home she got a text from Rihanna.
Really Beyonce! Not even a goodbye?
Rihanna knows too well about Beyonce and her tendencies but you'd think today would be different but nope, same old Beyonce. She was lucky Rihanna loved her and if anything held her at such a high esteem.
Great film Fenty
Rihanna had to stifle a laugh, 'typical Beyonce' she thought.
It's safe to say the movie was on the road to success for Rihanna and the team, even as far as predicting getting nominations in different categories, everyone involved pulled through and she had to thank Beyonce for the budget which awarded them with creative freedom.
