The party was in full flow. Now that Travis had been put in his place I remained relatively unbothered the whole night. Except of course for that fashion pest and my business partner, Velvette. Now that she had managed to rile me up she was not stopping. I was in right mind to Sparta kick her across the room but I kept my composure in front of the flashing lights of the cameras.
But not just that, I was told I had to make a speech. Ugh, I guess that was my thing but just for tonight, I didn't wanna have to be the center of attention. But I took center stage and raised a toast.
Vesper: Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, thank you so much for the successful launch of the new Fallen clothing line. Thanks to you all working your very hardest on advertising and designing and production, the product launch was a resounding success.
I turned to the camera that was pointed directly at me.
Vesper: And to everyone watching from the comfort of their own rotten homes, thank you for your continued support for Voxtek even in such trying times. I want you to know that from us we love you all and we hope to keep you all around to keep supporting us in any business endeavour.
I then smirked.
Vesper: And to that little deer in the headlights who's watching from his half broken box TV from some rundown shit hole hand me down hotel, the future of Voxtek has never looked better and you can't stand it, can you? The future of hell belongs to the Vees, so just trust us with your lifestyle and we'll be sure to deliver to your wildest expectations.
I turned back to the party.
Vesper: Thank you again for coming along. Goodnight ladies and gentlemen.
I took a bow and walked back over to my colleagues.
Vox: Great speech as always. Always nice to taunt the radio demon every once in a while. It's like music to my ears. Bravo, bravo.
I then felt a hug from behind.
Vesper: Hey Bailey.
Bailey: Ugh, how did you know?
Vesper: Because you're the only one that clings to me like a koala.
I pull her into a side hug. She gave Val a cutesy wave which got a glare out of me.
Bailey: Hey boss.
Valentino: Oh hello you little star.
Val looked at me.
Valentino: Thanks to her, business is booming, she really doesn't put a foot wrong. I must apologise for ever doubting you or her ability.
Velvette: Fucking hell does anyone feel it getting cold in here?
Valentino seemed confused.
Velvette: I just thought hell would freeze over the day that the great Valentino who can never hold in his temper finally apologises for one of his little outbursts. Where's the real piss baby that I know?
He rolled his eyes.
Valentino: Well I guess I can't fault him, his improvements have definitely added character to my studio. My humble sex dungeon is not so humble anymore. But neither am I so I suppose it fits perfectly.
I bow.
Vesper: Pleasure to be of service. You see, people always doubt me and it always ends with me getting praise. It's a funny little world we live in ain't it?
He rolled his eyes.
Valentino: Look at Mr. Modest over here.
Vesper: What good is being modest when you know that you're so much more than any sorry sucker in the world?
