"Did you take your Vitamins?" I asked Indya over the phone. "Yes Chresanto as soon as I woke up" she said.

"Did you eat Breakfast?"

"Yes Chresanto" she said. "What you eat?"

"Some waffles" I nodded as If she could see me. "What about fruit?"

"I had some grapes a few minutes ago"

"Am I annoying you?"

"Yes Chresanto" she said making me laugh. "Don't you have a job you should be doing?" she asked. "I don't have any clients at the moment-- not until 11:30" I said. "Oh ok"

"Don't you have work you should be doing?" I asked. "I mean yeah, but you called me so--" I laughed. "I just wanted to check on you, I'll see you when I get off"

"Alright- have you talked to Racheal?" Dammit I knew I forgot to do something, she been calling me all morning. "Yeah she flipped out but I guess she'll be fine" I lied.

"I bet she did.. but I'll see you later" She said. "I love you"

"I love you too" she said before hanging up. I sat my phone down, I guess I'll have to see Racheal when I get off. I then heard the door to my office open, I looked up to see Racheal. Layla the receptionist came running in after her.

"Sorry Mr. August she just walked right past me" she apologized. "Its fine.. I'll handle it" she nodded then walked out closing the door behind her.

"Why the fuck have you been ignoring my calls? and why weren't you at home last night?" she questioned. I sighed getting up from my seat walking towards her.

"Look Racheal, I don't think we're working out anymore" I said. she looked taken aback from what I had said. "A-are you breaking up with me?" she asked .

"Yeah but-"

"Its that bitch  isn't it? I knew you were gonna go running back to her" she yelled. "First off don't call her that, second lower your fucking voice"

"I can call her whatever the fuck I want to call her.. That Bitch is trying to take you away from me"

"Let me tell you something-- when you address her, you call her by her name or don't say shit about her at all" I growled. She scoffed rolling her eyes. "We're done Racheal Ight?" She shook her head.

"No Chres your gonna let her come and tear us apart like this? I cant let that happen" she began grabbing on my clothes. I gently pushed her hands off me. "Your gonna have too.. sorry" She looked at me one last time before storming out my office. Well that went better than I expected. I looked at the time seeing it was time for me to head down to the photo shoot. I was doing a shoot for India Love and her sisters. I love this job cause I get paid hourly, and I get paid by the people I do shoots for.

:Indya: 5:00pm:

I listened to the VP of Louis Vuitton as he gave his presentation about the market sales. I found it interesting until he brought up the fact that we should branch out to sell our clothes at other stores.

"Mr. Barron don't you think if we branch out our clothes to other stores it will lower our sales?" I interrupted. Everybody's attention in the room turned to me. "Excuse me?" He asked. I sat up in my seat.

"Let me put it this way-- this project does sound interesting but it is bound to fail" I said hearing small gasps throughout the room. "How so?"

"Lets say we branch out to... lets say Walmart.. They'll pay us money for the clothes that sells but what happens when no-one buys from Walmart anymore? This will cause us to go into debt and owing Walmart a large amount of money, and before you know it we're selling a huge chunk of our company to Target and I don't want that" I explained.

"So what is it you suggest that we do?" Charlotte, the chairwoman of the company asked. "I think we should start a sub-line... I can make another line but not branded as Brixx, make those clothes cheaper but similar to mine and sell them at the stores you mentioned"

"But wont this cost more money?" VP Barron asked. "Yes, but the money will be made up its better than selling them at Walmart or Target having them take all our money" He slowly nodded his head letting my idea sink in.

"I like that very much Ms. jean... Charlotte set up a meeting with all the VP's of these stores for me please-- Ms. jean we'll be in touch" I nodded gathering my things. Once I did I filed out of the conference room along with everyone else. As I walked down the hallway of the Louis Vuitton office I watched as everyone went right back to work, they were so reserved and well organized. I stepped into the almost full elevator pressing the bottom floor. It took me almost ten minutes to get to the first floor due to all of the stops we had to make. It was just making 5pm, Chres wouldn't be off until six which gives me enough time to take a shower and start dinner.

-------

"Mmmm-- it smells good in here" I heard Chres say as he entered the house. I continued to chop the broccoli into bits. "Hey babe" I greeted when I heard his footsteps approach the kitchen. He came behind me and kissed my cheek.

"Hey.. what's for dinner?" he asked. "Chicken Stir Fry" I said as I dumped the rest of the broccoli into the pan. I stirred it around to get it mixed in with the chicken and carrots. I reached over grabbing the sesame oil.

"How was work?" I asked while pouring some into the pan, I listened as the pan made a loud sizzling sound it smelled so good. "Good I had five clients back to back today" he said.

"Is that a good thing?" He smiled widely nodding his head. "The more clients I have the more money I make, that paycheck gon look too good when I get Friday" I chuckled grabbing two white bowls from the cabinet then filled them with food. I handed him a bowl and a fork.

"How about you?" he asked leaning against the counter taking a bite of his meal. I hopped up taking a seat on the counter. "Tiring.. I had like three long meetings today" I stretched out eating some of my food.

"You had a meeting with Louis Vuitton today right?" I nodded. "Yep, I have to start working on more designs for this sub-line we're doing. What do you think about me opening my own store?" I asked.

"I think it would be a good idea-- You been thinking about it?" He asked. "Yeah for some time now" He set his bowl down and walked towards me in between my legs.

"Well I think you should-- set up a plan, call a contactor, just do it your clothes are amazing and should be sold in your own store" I smiled setting my bowl to my side. "I knew you'd be supportive!" I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought him into a kiss.

"There's something we haven't did in a long time that I really want to do" He mumbled. I smirked. "What? have sex?" He chuckled.

"I was actually gonna say go out, but that too" He brought his lips back to mine then grabbed my waist making me wrap my legs around him, then made his way up stairs.

-----------

Well Chres got rid of Racheal, but she seem crazy to me don't yall think? Does she have anything up her sleeve? Indya's gonna open her own store soon.
