Y/N's POV.

I opened my eyes to see the sun's rays brighten my room. It is already morning. I looked at my clock, and it was exactly 6 a.m. As usual, I started wearing sweatpants, a hoodie, and white socks. I put on my shoes, open Spotify, and begin playing my workout playlist. I began running around the block for thirty minutes. It's peaceful out here. I took a 5-minute break to sip water. I looked up and saw a new billboard exhibiting my ex. Featured in Vogue.

When I started walking back to my apartment, I noticed my dear friend, Karen, waiting for me. "Aren't you sweet? Thanks." I said this as I got my favorite beverage and a bagel.

"I'm just reminding you of your schedule for today." She explained to me that I run my own business, and Karen is my personal assistant. "9 a.m., Smith's negotiations. Lunch with the financial team is at 12 p.m., followed by your interview with the New York Times at 4 p.m. " She informed me.

We boarded the elevator, and I noticed a fresh poster. Poster about my ex again. Karen pressed the penthouse button as I was too focused looking at her.

"I also want to remind you that you have a dinner date with Camila Cabello." Karen's reminder brought me back to reality.

"I didn't know that." I said to her.

"Because you're too busy looking at her." Karen pointed at Jenna's poster. "Y/N, come on. You two have been apart for a year. Move on already."

"For your knowledge, I've moved on. Please send a message to Smith's stating that we will conduct our discussions in my office. Thank you, Karen." As soon as we got off the elevator, I shifted the conversation.

"Hey, Y/N. If you need a friend, I'm here. I have known you for a long time. We can't lie to each other; you preferred Camila over her."

"It's a different story. Please allow me to take a shower and get ready. Wait for me in my car. Thank you again, Karen." I said so as I quickly rushed to my room to avoid more questions from my friend.

That's not true at all. Camila was there when Jenna was cheating on me, as the rumors said. I sighed as I started to hop in the shower to prepare myself for work.

Driving to work, I am quiet as I listened to Karen's reminders for my meeting today. Everywhere I go, there's a picture of my ex. I truly loved her so much. She was my first true love. Until rumors have separated us both.

The meeting with the Smiths was successful. I accept the deal, and we both agree to the terms of our contract. "Ms. Y/L/N, are you free tomorrow? I want you to meet our preferred talent for this project." Mr. Smith asked me.

"I'll open my schedule for you, sir. I'd also like to meet who I am working with." I smiled at him as I shook his hand.

"You bet. I'll have my secretary contact you for the details tomorrow."

"I will, sir. I'll let my personal assistant talk to your secretary. Thank you so much again, sir, for trusting us." I am thrilled about this negotiation. It's a billion-dollar contract, and it'll benefit my company as well.

As the days go by, I am finished with all of my meetings for today, and tonight I'll have a dinner date with my dear friend, Camila. I decided to pick her up at her hotel. As I arrived, she's wearing a fancy dress and light makeup. I know paparazzies are everywhere; that's why I need to be cautious.

"Hi, handsome." She teased as I hugged her.

"Hi, Cams. Ready to go?" I said to her. She nodded, and I guided her to my car as a gentlewoman.

We've arrived at the secluded restaurant, and we have begun to order our meal. "How's work?" She asked me to start our conversation.

"It was fantastic. I closed a deal without any problem." I smiled at her.
