!! officially discontinued as of 7/5/21!!
After receiving a phone call from her twin sister's talent manager, Karine Derricks immediately filed a leave of absence for two days, emptied her bank account (not that it has a lot to start with), packed...
As soon as I spotted my bag, I quickly grabbed it from the moving platform and walked away, heading to the exit. With my bag in hand and Maroon 5 blasting in my ears, I make my way towards the lobby of the airport, where hundreds of people are waiting for their relatives to arrive.
I kept my eyes peeled out for Van as I trudged my way towards the exit. I called him earlier to tell him that I've already arrived and he said that to make it easier for me to see him, he described himself. He has dark brown hair and he's wearing a blue button-up and black pants. I told him to just write my name in a cardboard but then he said that it's too risky and someone might see it and we might cause attention.
I grabbed my phone from my pocket and called Van, looking around. After five rings, he picked up.
"Where are you?" I asked
"By the bench behind the swarm of people. I've been standing for twenty minutes already that's why I sat down."
"Okay. See you." I ended the call and gave my bag to security to have it checked. Then I take it back and walk towards the bench, and then there he is, Van Clinton. I walked up to him and tapped his shoulder. He looked up at me and his eyes widened before he stood up and held out his hand.
"N-Nice to meet you, Karine. Van Clinton."
I shook his hand and smiled at him. "Same here."

He smiled at me before he gestured to my bag. "Let me take that for you."
"Oh, thanks." I said as I gave him my bag.
"Is it okay for you if we head to my office now? I know you're tired and all, but I just wanna discuss something with you."
I nodded at him. "Okay. Lead the way."
When we exited the lobby, we went straight to the parking lot. Shock came to me but I recomposed myself immediately when we stopped in front of a white Camaro. I should've figured. He's the talent manager of Kaline Derricks of Silhouette Aces.
He opened the door to shotgun and gestured for me to get in. I smiled at him before getting in and soon after, he followed suit and we drove off.

The car stopped in front of a very tall building, and Van climbed out. Before I could grab the door handle, it opened from the outside and I saw a guy holding out his hand. I grabbed it and helped myself out, and that's when I saw that the guy has a name tag attached to his clothes.
"Usual spot, Yan. Take care of my baby." Van said as he threw his car keys at the guy whom I assume is Yan and he caught it and smiled. "Don't worry."
He entered the car and drove off, and Van gestured for me to come in first. I nodded and walked ahead of him and I fought the gasp that threatened to escape my lips when he placed a hand at my back. He must've noticed my reaction and quickly retrieved his hand. "Sorry. Just something that my mother taught me. She used to say that guys must make the girl feel that he's just behind her and that everything will be alright."
