Did I fall first?

The next day came sooner than expected for Ann, and here she was now sitting in Mr Greys office who apparently did have a lot of grey hairs.

Yes, So Ann, I know your time is valuable, but the boy is stuck in traffic, few more minutes he will be here, came from the old psychologist.

Brandy or whatever his name is, is he actually reliable?

Ann, do you want his education qualification certificates?

If this is how it goes maybe I will need it soon, replied Ann.

Yeah, umm, ahh, I am sorry, traffic screwed me, you know! Aufff! My feet hurt!!!

A man dressed in scrubs rushed into the cabin without even knocking on the door, his beige-toned skin was almost sparking due to the beads of sweat formed, he had wavy probably coloured brown hair, but his eyes were a stunning pair of brown eyes.

Ann sucked in a deep breath almost rolling her eyes looking at this gorgeous man, no scratch that, rude man.

I am sorry, yeah I should have knocked, I know but, you guys…

Brandon, enough with that, take a breath will you, calm down,

Yeah, I know Mr Grey, but, Oh! Hello, Ms Danielle, Myself, Brandon Moon,

Ann nodded her head acknowledging him, flashing a pretty smile, she spoke, Call me Ann, I prefer it that way,

Ok, Ms Danielle, Ah shit no! Ms Ann, yes, Ms Ann!

Ann kept her usual smile on her lips, just a slight curve on her lips.

So, yes, Brandon, from today on you will help Ms Ann with her everyday life, and Miss Ann is ok with you staying with her since she is moving out to her own place, Mr Grey spoke.

Oh! Yeah, thank you, wait a minute…

I WILL BE LIVING WITH HER? A CELEB?

Ann flinched hearing Brandon raise his voice, Yes, if thats inconvenient its ok, the building has a ground floor and a top floor, and you will be living down, so technically we are not together and you will have to pay the rent, I just needed someone to rent the ground floor,

So, its that way,

But why me?

Because I don want a scandal, if a question arises, I can always give an answer, and there are not many people in the area, quite isolated,

Brandon nodded his head taking in the information.

So when do I start?

This weekend, I have to get my work done as well, bring only your clothes and essential items, refrigerator, t.v and stuff like that are already arranged,

Wait, so whats like the rent? Because if your providing me with so much, it must be high, Brandon questioned Ann.

Yes, about that, either you can choose to cut it off from your pay or have your full paycheck and pay the rent monthly,

Ok Woah! How much am I getting?

I thought the company emailed it to you, Ann spoke with her smile intact.

Brandon raised his eyebrows in exasperation, Oh! Did they? I don use, you know, emails and stuff, mostly spam,

Ann chuckled at his response, while Mr Grey could only shake his head in disappointment.

My boy, you don want to get fired on your first day, do you? Mr Grey asked grabbing Brandons shoulder, his height towering Brandon who was only 175 cm in height.

Well, its around $10825, and the rent would be $6000 monthly, so yes,

Umm, well deduce it from my salary, even if its reduced I would have around $4825 per month, which is well paid for a beginner like me,

Ok, will get that done and we need to sign a contract, NDA and other legal stuff, Ann spoke already dialling her phone to call Sofia.

After spending the whole day doing the legal procedure Ann was back at her dorm packing things so that she could shift this weekend.

Ah! That was so tiring, maybe I should have a drink, Ann rushed to the wine cellar only to find it empty.

Did Scarlet come home today, girl didn even bother to call me, Ann grumbled to herself.

Ok, so no drinks today, I should probably head back to the studio,

Ann was so used to talking to herself that she never bothered to realize that this might be a serious problem.

In the studio room, Ann changed a few things in the demo version of the song, Nyctophile she was contemplating whether to send this, the song was quite dark and depressing.

Never mind, even if he rejects, it isn like this is the first time he is going to reject something, Ann sent the work to their main producer.

As soon as she shut down her system Ann received a call from Sofia, Whatssup?

Interested in giving a speech?

Damn, where?

Well, to music students studying at Devon University, Sophia replied.

Ann contemplated it for a while before giggling at a thought that crossed her head.

Why are you all giggly? Give me an answer?

Its funny how I will probably be a lot younger than all those students hearing me anyways say yes, when is it though?

This Sunday, not many students would attend because its Sunday, so the university decided to invite a celeb to have an audience,

Very strategic, as you know, I am not gonna prepare a speech, I am gonna freestyle,

Umm…I am ok with it, don mess it up though,

Nah! I hope I won ,

Want help with shifting?

No, I am like almost done,

Good girl, hope you have a good sleep,

Thank you, I hope too, Goodnight,

As the call ended, Ann felt the silence and the loneliness in the house engulf her, they didn feel like a group anymore, fame surely was funny.
