"IT'S GOTTA BE YOOOOOOOU! ONLY YOOOOOOOU!"

I covered my ears as soon as I stepped out of my bath into the living room.

"IT'S GOTTA BE YOOOOOOOOU!" Sammy screamed at the top of her voice, swaying her head along with the music when she saw me.

I sat down in the couch with an arm propped up by the side glaring at her.

"ONLY YOOOOOOOOOOU." She emphasized on the last 'oo' as the song ended. She let out a sigh of bliss.

"I know we have a big room, but you don't have to go yelling at the top of your voice," I said smirking.

She laughed, "It's my favourite song for the moment."

I groaned. That was not good news to me. Her last favourite song was Bruno Mars' The Lazy Song and she actually sang it for one consecutive month!

"I can't believe we were in the same plane," she pouted. "I didn't even ask for their autographs!"

"I didn't know you were into One Direction," I raised an eyebrow.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, amused. "I didn't know you were aware of their existence!"

I rolled my eyes at her. "It is important for a person of my status to be well-informed and up-to-date."

She chuckled, "Definitely." She curled up her long hair into a bun as she settled into the couch with her long slander legs tucked towards her breasts.

Sammy – real name Samantha Monfrei was my personal assistant as well as my best friend. Only when we were alone, we could forgo all the formalities and let our hair down going all crazy. I also thought that she was a real beauty. Long hair, sweet smile, a good proportionate body and of course, a big heart. Other girls would probably detest having such a best friend especially for stealing the limelight. But not me. It was important that I kept the lowest profile as possible and attract the least attention. I had seen so many men turning their heads more than once to peep at her. She was just that beautiful.

Her father, Viscount Mabrey Monfrei served as the Great Counsellor to the Royal Court. Sammy and I knew each other since birth and grew up together for the last eighteen years of our life.

I flipped through the pages of report on my hand before letting out a sigh, "Why don't you just give me a summary of what I am to expect tomorrow?" I said before throwing the file on the table.

She narrowed her eyes, "You are supposed to read it through," she pointed to the file. "That's what Venn instructed."

I groaned again upon hearing his name. I picked up the file again.

Production trends for the next quarter. Export Capacity trends. New buildings. New deliveries. Rising bunker prices. Argh, I grabbed my hair in frustration.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," she warned.  "You won't have much hair left by the end of this Asia Conference."

"Shuddup."

Just then, an advertisement of One Direction flashed on the TV and she let out a scream which made me almost dropped my file.

"Sammy!"

"IT'S ONE DIRECTION! IT'S GOTTA BE YOOOOOOOOOOOOU!"

Of all the songs, they had to play that song together with the advertisement...
