Pain of Lies

"Scarlet dear, I know you want that offers. You've been broadcasting all over the world that you wanted to return to Korea for like 2 years now so who am I to stop my artist from what she really wants?" it was Madame Olivia, the CEO of my agency here in L.A. After receiving the scripts yesterday I didn't wait for another day to tell her about the offer so here I am today in her executive yet rather fancy office. Madame Olivia is 47 but she looks like 30 and speak like 60. She also has a thing for fancy things like fashion, art and glamour. Aesthetics. She's an artwork herself actually.

She is like a second mother to me actually. For some reason she's always been fond of Korean dramas so when our path crossed before, she immediately recognized me since I have played some minor roles in some dramas and movies back when I was still a trainee in Korea. Ever since I signed a contract with her she took care of me warmly.

"But of course it does not mean I would let you go wholly. I have some conditions dear." She added as she sips her wine

"Of course you have conditions. You really don't let me do things my own way now don't you Olivia?" I chuckled while she smiled showing pearly white teeth.

"I'm sorry but I love you too much dear, I'm being quite greedy of you." She replied humor-wisely

"Let's hear it then." I giggled

"First, you will take Maggie and Ah Reum with you. They will still be the one to handle you. I won't let other people manage you besides Maggie. She's the only one I could trust with you and Ah Reum is the best stylist slash hair and make up artist you could have so I will not allow her to be replaced. They have been with you from the start so wherever you go they will be there. They can't live without each other anyways so everybody happy." Maggie is my manager and she's very French but she's fluent in English, only with accent of course, and she's been learning Korean since she's actually surrounded by Korean people like Ah Reum and myself while Ah Reum is my stylist and make up artist and she's just like me, a Korean-American and yes they are in a relationship. I was actually the eye witness of their beautiful love and it's really comforting to know that love knows no race, gender, age, height or anything. Love is boundless really.

"Oh Olivia. I love you more! You really do what's best for me. You know I need them both so thank you!" I was about to hug her because I am too happy about what's happening to me right now. I mean I may have some bad decisions before but I'm living in fame and fortune now not to mention I'm surrounded by people who truly cares for me.

"Hold it darling. We don't want to wrinkle our outfit now, don't we?" she lightly laugh which sounded like a classy music. Gosh! She should have been the celebrity too!

"Of course, I'm sorry I got too excited. Go on please."

"Second, you will still have to renew your contract with me but I will regulate your projects here. I already talked to YG about it so no worries since he didn't oppose my idea. Lastly, I know you are excited to be back to Korea but Scarlet dear we still have to finish your full-year schedule since we signed the contracts so you will have to wait. YG knows everything about it so just go follow all your schedules. You have quite a ton so good luck!" All her conditions are all for my sake and I can't thanked God enough for everything.

"You are my guardian angel Olivia, have I already told you that? Thank you!" I held her hand gave her a grateful smile.

"No, thank you for letting me take care of you. Thank you for coming into my life and made me feel alive again. Most importantly, thank you for letting me see her in you. Gosh, the both of you could be bffs you know." She smiled even though her eyes reflected sorrow and longing. Olivia was a single mom and when we met 5 years ago it was her daughter's death anniversary. She told me we look alike and talk alike only her Daughter Karen, have been depressed for quite a while and just one day she slept without waking up. Olivia blamed herself for that but she stopped when we had a deep talk back then. She have been depressed too but we've managed to convince her to seek help. I know she overcame depression but there are just wounds that can't be healed no matter how much we try to forget it.
