"Okay, Becky. Now don't open them until I give the say so." I told Becky, who had her eyes blocked by my hands. I had guided her outside the Empire building after she got done with a meeting. I was so excited to see the look on her face when she gets to see this car I got her.
"Okay, okay! I just feel like we went in circles for a while. What's the big "surprise" you keep telling me, Ne'veah?" Becky says.
"Almost there....and...okay! Open your eyes!" I finally uncovered her eyes. Becky opened them and looked at the car. She had this shocked look as I predicted, and slowly went up to the car.
"Is this...is this what I think it is?" Becky slowly made out.
I nodded with a hopeful smile.
"Yep. I didn't know if you will like it or not, but I got it just to say thank you for being one of the bestest friends I've ever had. I hope you like it and if you don't, I could take it back and----" I rambled at her, not realizing the wide grin at Becky's face.
"Are you kidding!?! I've been wanting this car ever since it came out! I love it so much!" Becky excitedly jumped. I stopped my rambling.
"Wait, what?" I asked dumbly.
"Ve, you don't know how much I appreciate this. I feel so happy and guilty that you went out and bought me this! Thank you, so much." She says, as she came up to hug the life out of me. I went to hug her back.
"No, thank you. You work so hard and covered for me ever since I got in Empire, even if I had just got the job. I hope this tells you that I really mean it when I say that." I said honestly. Becky smiled.
"Oh, I was used to it, anyways. Just know that I'm not letting this slide and I'm getting you back."
"Fine. I have no objection at that."
"Now, let's see what this baby can do! Wanna ride?" Becky slyly says.
"Hell to the yes." I smirked.
We both got in the car quickly, with Becky having the driver's seat. We looked at each other with knowing looks.
"Fasten your seatbelts, because we are in for one fun ride." Becky informed excitedly. We put on our seatbelts and drove off.

I was in a meeting with Cookie, Andre, Jamal, and our new CEO Hakeem with a bunch of reporters. Since that misunderstanding with Camilla, I was moved to being Hakeem's personal assistant than Becky's. I was a little pissed off that Hakeem was the one to confirm it with Becky and he better be glad I didn't do anything harsh. I had reluctantly agreed, but gave him a death glare that he shouldn't try anything with me. He seen it, trust me, and he got the memo.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Empire's new CEO, Hakeem Lyon." A man introduced to the reporters. The reporters clapped for the CEO of Empire.
"What's up, y'all? Let me just say, before we start this meeting, that I'm very excited to be the new Chief Executive Officer of Empire Enterprises. Thank y'all for coming. This company was kicked off by my parents, and we will keep it in my family bloodline. Starting with my mother, Cookie Lyon, she will be leading with her creative direction, as our new head of A&R for all of Empire, and our sub-label, Lyon Dynasty." Hakeem informed the reporters. Cookie smiled at us, and we gestured back with a smile. I was standing next to Cookie, all of us listening to Hakeem's speech.
"My brother Andre's been doing a great job as Chief Financial Officer, making sure we don't go broke." Hakeem says, and the reporters started chuckling. "You know, I'm going to keep him in that position. And he's going to continue to be the President of Gutter Life Records." He continued, "And the big news is to that my brother Jamal's going to step aside as vice-chairman, and he's going to focus on his Black and White album, and focus on his seven ASA nominations. Congratulations, bro." He commented. Jamal smiled at his brother with appreciation, while I smiled at the brotherly moment.
