"See, I still don't get why I can't just lay in my bed and earn money."

"Because with your new album, your the hot topic of the media, and we need to keep the popularity up as long as we can. How get out of your car and walk inside." Jennie said over the phone, hanging up after so that Elara couldn't complain.

WIth a groan, Elara did as asked and opened her car door, standing in front of the studio.

Elara felt slightly uneasy about the whole thing. Today, she would be going live on Vanity Fair for a Lie Detector test. Maybe it was the fact that it was live and that everyone would know if she lied. Possibly it was that she didn't know what the questions were, and neither did Jennie. Apparently it adds to the 'authenticity.' She only requested not to be asked about Owen.

Her heels clicked as she pushed open the door, where a taller woman was standing with a folder in her hands. Behind her were cameras. Already?

"Miss Fleur! Welcome! I'm Kristi, and behind me is James. You're probably going to hate us at the end of this." She chuckled, and Elara laughed with her.

She followed Kristi into a dark room. "Creepy. You guys aren't going to murder me in here, right?"

"I assure you, it's not in my plans. James is going to get you set up, and then we'll go live, is that alright with you?"

Elara nodded, giving the brunette in front of her a small smile before sitting down. The older man started strapping her arm up, which connected her to a some type of expensive machine. "If I break that, do I have to pay?"

"Well, we'll make sure you don't get too close." James said, not matching her comedic tone.

A man behind her with a camera started counting. "Live in Three. Two. One."

Suddenly, Elara was nervous. The room was dark, other than a light above her. Kristi wasn't in frame in the camera, so there were thousands of people looking at her currently. One wrong word and her whole career was fucked.

She didn't have very much time to overthink, because Kristi began talking in a much more cheerful voice. "Good morning, everyone! Currently with us is none other than superstar Elara Fleur!" Elara grinned sending a wave to the camera and sending a few kisses. "Today, strapped up to a lie detector, we will be finding out all of your secrets. Elara, do you believe your a good liar?"

"I'd like to think so."

To start off the interview, they began shooting questions that were obvious to make sure the machine was up and working.

"Is your name Elara Cornelia Fleur?"

"Yes."

"Are you 26 years old?"

"Yes."

"Are you nervous?"

"Yes."

"Why are you nervous?"

Elara pursed her lips. "Well, there's a lot of things I don't tell you, and I mean, this setup is terrifying." She giggled a small amount, making the lie detector jump.

"The first category is friends. Elara, who's your favorite friend?"

"Hmm.." Elara put her finger up to her lips, acting like she was thinking. "Shit, I messed it up. Is it broken?" James shook his head, and she sighed. "Easy, Lucy Katz."
