Now was not the time for this. Laive was livid.

She was mad as hell! 

York wasn't answering, and her driver looked like he was driving anywhere but towards downtown LA to a hotel.

"Sir."

The driver didn't respond.

"Excuse me, Sir?"

Laive pulled out her phone to text York.

York replied instantly

She exhaled in frustration. When she was half way sure York had lost his damn mind, the driver pulled up to a massive mansion. "I know you fucking lying!" Laive's mouth dropped. Her hands quickly covered her mouth as she internally scolded herself. First of all, she didn't really use that type of language, unless she was irate. Secondly, she just knew she had to be in the wrong place.

The driver opened her door, took her bags towards the entrance, and returned to his car. A young woman who looked to be in her late 20's looked so excited to see her.

"You're so pretty!"

"...." Laive looked confused.

"Are you...I'm sorry I don't want to pronounce it wrong......"

"It's pronounced Lāve." It was hard to connect what was going on. What kind of budget was this for a showcase?

"That's so beautiful...Well, I'm- "

Laive begin to tune her out because she clearly was in shock. What the hell did York have planned?

"...Assistant. I'm going to show you to your room. You have some time to refresh as well. He's going to be waiting for you down stairs." 

"His assistant?" Laive asked dumbfounded. York was doing the absolute most.

"I know. It's weird at first, but you get used to it. We're practically family now. He was in my wedding and everything."

After she disinfected the entire bathroom with her medical grade sanitary wipes, she took the best shower of her life and relaxed for a few hours.
