"Good afternoon Mr. Mchale, come sit with us! We've been waiting for you." The president of the recording studio said, pointing his staff.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry if it took a while for me to go here. If you don't mind, I still have to wait for my Manager, he's the one incharge to this. And yet, he's late again." Raeniel replied while looking at the window for his manager. Why does he does this all the time? He thought.

"That's okay Mr. Mchale. Take your time." The president smiled, and walked toward the staffs and explained why he can't come in this instant.

20 minutes has passed and Raeniel's Manager arrived, walking like a king and looking at Raeniel like someone who's not important. "At last you came. I told you not to be late again and here you are. 50 minutes late!" He scolded his Manager while pointing at his watch. The Manager just ignored him and rolled his eyes. Another day with this guy he whispered. Making sure that Raeniel didn't hear it because if he does, it's another argument.

The Manager closed the deal and shaked hands with the President of the Record Studio.

Raeniel went to his car heading to his new apartment. New apartment, again. I dont want this life anymore. He thought. For 25 years of his career, there are 15 apartments he owned. And this new apartment is the 16th now. Questions are always running in his head. What if I had a normal life? What if I'm not famous? What if I'm just a normal guy?
