"Why is that heavier?"

I finish lugging in the last suitcase before closing the door behind me. I huff as I turn around breathing through my mouth, I stare at the empty hallway of my foyer that leads into my actual house.

"Hello?" I call out knowing that i'll get no response. I place my hands on my hips as I look at the four suitcases in front of me, I wheel two in one hand each as I walk over to the elevator, I push the button as I glance around the eerily quiet house.

I put the bags into the elevator then close the door before pushing the second floor. I wheel everything out of the elevator and make my way over to my room, I did a load of laundry before we left so I do not have to wash anything right now.

I spend thirty minutes unpacking everything then leaving souvenirs in Florin's room and Jasper's office. I do some dusting after that before laying down on the bed like a star.

I stare up at the ceiling as I let my mind wander. I am so bored. No one is here, not one thing to do.

I suddenly sit up as I realize I have a multi-billion dollar business, I skip my way into my closet as I pull my sweatshirt over my head tossing it into the dirty hamper.

I grab a dark blue long dress as I take off my sweatpants then throw that on, I pull my hair from under the dress and grab a pair of Louboutin heels to match. I sit down at my vanity and brush through my hair before doing mascara and lip gloss.

I practically run downstairs into the mudroom, I grab a white cardigan and my handbag as I make my way into the garage. I get into my car opening up the garage and the gates, I put on my seatbelt as I start up the car and reverse out of the garage.

I shift gears and floor it out of the gates before closing them up, I eventually leave my community and make it to my office building. I tap my keycard and speed into the parking lot, I park my car in my spot before getting out.

I put on my sunglasses as I make my way over to the elevators, I pull out my phone and scroll through my messages as I stand in the elevator. I get off on my mini planners floor, I walk past their offices and make my way into the conference room to see all of them in there.

They all stare at me as I smile at them, "I am bored and I miss you guys and I am so restless-"

"The Beckham's are renewing their vows and-"

"Rosie Hunington and Jason Statham are finally getting-"

"Ozzy Osborne literally died so we-"

Their voices all start overlapping each other making me smile as I slump my shoulders down. I hold out my hand for an iPad as I take my seat at the head of the table, someone hands me one and I take off my sunglasses.

"We are on the Ozzy Osborne funeral?" I ask as I click on that file, I flip through the file as I read the notes, "They are being tough to work with because they want you Teresa." Joe says making me look at him.

"I understand that you took a step back and you want to focus on family but if the celebs are not happy, we lose our regular customers" He adds, he is right honestly.

The celebrities post and brag about my company which makes the non celebs want me and pushes me out to a different demographic, "Tell them I will be secondary in the background but I am not leading" I say making everyone sigh out of relief.

"I will go call and coordinate but while I am that taking sabbatical I am still very easy to reach because I am at home not doing jack shit" I say as I start adding notes to Ozzy's file.
