Chapter 4

I have nothing against the Kardashians or Jenners.

"This feels so weird," Nola complains as they sit outside a restaurant that Kourtney Kardashian was inside of with her kids. "I don't like stalking people."

"Seriously? Not even on social media?" Colin questions, his eyebrows raising when Nola shook her head. "You've never stalked your ex on social media?"

"I have better things to do with my life," Nola shrugs.

"Like what? Praying to hundreds of gods and goddesses? Fasting?" Colin scoffs before laughing and pulling out his phone to text someone.

Nola glares angrily at Colin. "Do you gain some satisfaction by making fun of my culture? What did India ever do to you?"

Colin didn't even appear to be listening to her as he typed away on his phone. Nola sighs and glances back at the restaurant. She gasps and stands when she sees Kourtney Kardashian, Scott Disick, and their kids emerge from the restaurant.

"Colin, take a picture," she urges quickly, nudging him. Tony had only given one camera for the two of them to borrow from him and Colin had refused to give it to Nola and held it too high for Nola to reach when she'd tried to take it from him.

Colin ignored her again, continuing to text someone clearly more important that Nola.

"Colin," Nola says angrily as she looks at him, hitting his shoulder lightly as the Kourtney and Scott get their kids into their car. "Take the picture already."

"Shut up," Colin groans and lightly shoves her.

Nola quickly pulls out her phone and takes a picture just before the car drives off. "For fuck's sake, Colin! They left!" She exclaims, clearly upset he didn't do his part.

"Oh well, let's go back and write this stupid article," Colin shrugs and heads back to his car. "I'll meet you back there. Send me that picture." With that, Colin drove off in his expensive sports car, leaving Nola behind to take a cab, which she'd also taken to get there.

One Hour Later

"It's like he's trying to get both of us fired," Nola sighs after explaining what happened to Kenna, who also worked for Tony but had a higher position, which came with more job security and a bigger office with a window.

Colin was across the room and threw a wave and a grin in their direction. Nola scoffs and turns away from him.

"Nola, I really don't think it's that big of a deal," Kenna says softly. "You're just wasting energy getting mad at him for no reason. Anyways, I'm sure Tony will understand."

"Speak of the devil," Nola mutters as she hears Tony calling her and Colin's names. "Wish me luck."

She walked over to the huge office that Tony had and walked inside. Colin had reached there before her and looked a little too happy to see her walk in.

"Nola, please sit down and hand over your article on the Kardashian-Jenners," Tony says, typing something on his computer.

"Wait, what?" Nola asks in surprise, not understanding how they were supposed to have the article done hardly an hour after they'd been given the assignment.

"The article? Give me whatever you have," Tony says, turning to look at her. "Colin has already turned his in so your article should be done as well."

"Oh, um," Nola bites her lip and quickly gets up. She quickly walks over to Kenna's printer, the reason that she'd been talking to her in the first place, before grabbing the article and returning to Tony.

Tony looks at her with some surprise but mostly distaste, as if he didn't want her to have anything to give him. He leans back in his chair and looks over her article before setting it down on his desk, next to Colin's.

"Nola, your picture is horrible quality. What happened to the camera I gave you?" Tony shakes his head in disappointment.

"Colin wouldn't take the picture so I was forced to take one with my phone," Nola tries to explain.

"That's not possible. Colin has an amazing high quality picture here of everyone," Tony shakes his head, showing her a picture that was so good that it looked like it was taken by a professional. "Nola, this is part of the job I assigned you. You need to step up your game. Colin's article is the one that's going to be posted," Tony decides.

Tony goes to a whiteboard behind him and writes Nola's and Colin's names before putting a tally mark under Colin's name, which pissed Nola off completely. She hated feeling like she lost. Tony dismisses them and Nola and Colin both leave.

"I guess we're starting to find out who's better now," Colin smirks at Nola before walking off, leaving Nola glaring at his back.

Sorry for the late update! I was at my college orientation. Just the thought of college makes me so nervous.
