-Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Charlotte Lawrence-

I come home in the morning light

My mother says, "When you gonna live your

Life right?"

Oh, mother dear, we're not in the fortunate ones

And girls, they wanna have fun

Lena, Eve, and Sam are in one of the largest bathrooms in the mansion getting their make-up on for tonight's event. Lex is still in his room, deciding which shade of purple tie to wear with his suit. Lillian on the other hand is in the living room calling the driver to be at the mansion soon to pick them up and picking out her last jewelry to put on to match with the purple gown.

Lena is almost ready. She had no problem picking an outfit for tonight since the Luthors decided to go with their family color. She picked a dark purple asymmetric-neck cap sleeve peplum dress. While Lena was almost finished applying her dark red lipstick, Eve breaks the working silence.

"So. Lena. Sam told me about a mystery savior. . ."

Sam gasps and drops her eyeliner in the sink. "Eve Teschmacher! I told you to not say anything until Lena feels comfortable sharing her story with other people!"

The phone rings in the middle of the night

My father yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"

Oh, daddy dear, you know you're still number one

But girls, they wanna have fun

"Oh come on, Sam! I just want to know if Lena is having fun with this mysterious savior. . .Sam told me that she saw you dancing with a stranger at the club just a week ago."

Sam wants to shut the blonde up but it's too late. Lena raises her eyebrow, showing interest in this confrontation.

"If you must know. The stranger I was dancing with is indeed the mystery savior."

"OH. I hope you rope this person in soon because you need some-" Eve didn't get to finish her sentence.

That's all they really want

Some fun

When the working day is done

Oh, girls, they wanna have fun

*knock knock*

"Ladies! It's time to go, the limo is here!" Lillian says on the other side of the door.

"Well ladies. It's time to have some fun!" Eve squeaks with excitement. Lena and Sam follow right behind the blonde to meet up with Lillian and Lex.

Location: (Y/N)'s Apartment - 4:30PM

-Move by Saint Motel-

This man, this dutiful man

Has got this sense of devotion

One look, one touch of a hand

Can set the spiral in motion

The music was playing loudly all around since (Y/N)'s friends decided to use all the speakers to boost up everyone's mood. The flat was filled with extra people such as hair and make-up people, designers, and a few assistants running around the area.

I want it, can't have it

Oh, i can hardly stand it

Oh, what's a man to do?

*Buzz. Buzzz. Buzz.*

At the moment, (Y/N) is getting her hair done by one of her closest and most trustworthy hairstylist. The hairstylist was reshaping the back undercut since her hair grew back a few inches. To finish the style, the person helped put her hair in a tight ponytail to show off the edgy undercut.

This girl, this beautiful girl

With eyes the size of the ocean

This man, this dutiful man

Has got these mixed up emotions

She rises to her feet and walks towards the full body mirror ro check out her outfit and hair one last time. The CEO is sporting a fitted three piece navy colored suit with dark oak oxford shoes to match the whole fit. A close assistant, Sarah Bennett, comes up to (Y/N) with a tie to match the fit. She looks at her friends who were almost ready as well.

"Tie or no tie?"

"Tie" Ben says in an instant. The young assistant starts putting on the tie for her boss, trying carefully not to ruin the crisp collar of the shirt she is wearing.

"You can come a little closer, I don't bite." The CEO looks into the assistant's eyes, she starts to blush at her boss's words. She stood a little closer for a better angle.

Sophia walks in, already glam out and ready. "Okay everyone. The cars are here. It's 5:30PM and should be leaving now. We'll all be entering the back way instead of the front to avoid cameras Once everyone has arrived for the gala, the plan should turn out smoothly." She says while giving a few taps on the tablet she holds.

The executive helper adds in the details. "Okay. The 1st car will have Rex, Jen, and Ben. Plus one bodyguard, Mark. The 2nd car will be me, Sarah, and Miss (Y/L/N). Head of security, Anthony, will be tagging along. The 3rd car will be the Ramos siblings and bodyguard, Robert. The last car will be the rest of the entourage."

(Y/N) looks at her assistants, "two of my beautiful assistants in the same car with me. Usually it's just the driver, Anthony, and me. Why the change?"

The younger assistant couldn't spit out an answer but (Y/N) knew it was Sophia's doing for this little set up. (Y/N) chuckles.

"Relax, Sarah. I know it's Sophia's doing."

"As your executive assistant and knowing you . ." The woman steps into her boss' space and tug on her tie to "fix" but was actually choking her a bit. "We can assist you in the car if you're feeling a little stressed before we arrive at the gala" Sophia husks. Looking over at Sarah, she was turning a bit pink.

None of the entourage was hearing this little exchange. (Y/N) clears her throat and grabs Sophia's hand to ease the grip on the tie she's wearing.

"That sounds like a delightful offer but I would like to not ruin my clothes before the event. . . But maybe after the event if the opportunity occurs." The well dressed CEO says to her assistants and then walks away. The two women gave each other a quick glance and started to tail their boss out of the door.
