"Take a deep breath" I mumbled to myself as I stood in the vacant elevator. I was so terribly anxious but I had no idea why. I mean sure I'm about to meet with like ten people about this brand new scandal that I am now in. Ugh why is it always a scandal when it comes to that jerk?

Well at least I won't have to see him face to face right now. No one had any idea that I left Las Vegas to come home except Jade of course. I sent her lengthy message explaining my situation to which she just replied with "okay, see you back in LA" and then I bounced very discreetly. He's definitely still with them probably out with the guys, somewhere getting head from some dirty—

Ding!

I snapped out of my thoughts as the doors opened swiftly. "Good Afternoon!" I smiled brightly at the receptionist. "Oh Welcome in Ms.Jones, they're waiting for you, please go right in"

I nodded silently before entering the conference room that was near the end of a very long hallway.

"Ahh there she is!" Just then I felt eyes on me as everyone's head snapped towards me.

"Hello, sorry to keep you guys waiting. I hope I didn't miss anything" I chuckled taking a seat at the first vacant chair I laid eyes on

"No no not at all, we were just catching Justin up on a few things that I'm sure your assistant has already done for you" The CEO of the agency that I'm signed to, Andrew Wallace, said with a smile

Justin? My eyes followed the direction in which Andrew's finger pointed in. I couldn't believe it, there Justin sat on the other end of the table with a stupid smirk on his face.

Wh—W—-How is this even possible?! How the hell did he get here so fast? That's not even humanly possible! Is it......?

"Oh.....okay" I said through my plastered smile.

"Well let's get this started, yeah? I called this urgent meeting because as you know, you two kids are the talk of the town right now. I mean ever since you guys got back together, every high dollar brand that you can think about has been reaching out to both me and Scooter here, for some form of collaboration" he said nodding over to Justin's manager. I couldn't refrain from rolling my eyes at the sight of that man. I didn't recognize him either when I walked in. Justin still hasn't fired that money hungry idiot?

I listened carefully as Andrew went on and on about how popular we are and how we're the new IT couple that everyone loves.

Who's gonna tell them?...

"So I'm sure you guys heard the offer that has been granted to you guys and we all think it would be a great opportunity for you. So what do you say? Will Justella take this opportunity?"

Oh no not the couple name! I absolutely have to burst their bubble.

"Here's the thing, me and Justin are not—"

"—are not opposed to doing this but I think we need a little time to think it over" I cut my eyes down at him as he rudely cut me off. The room grew quiet as everyone exchanged looks picking up on the tension

"Alright, this is a lot to take in so I guess time won't hurt" Andrew stated as he shrugged pushing his glasses up from the bridge of his nose

"Actually it would." Scooter chimed in "We're talking about one million dollars guaranteed up front for each of you. Brands don't just offer this to any ole body, especially not brands like Tiffany Co. You guys have 24 hours to decide or they find some other couple that's sure about what they want"
