QUINN

I wore my sunshades as I got down from the van. Today Brandon went to do make-up for a Victoria's Secret model apparently they're having a special show, pfft!

I was so exhausted because I had just finished a scene and had to go back later at night for a night scene.

Sheila came out of the company with excitement. "Our star actress," She said bubbly as she got to me while smiling like a lunatic.

I sucked in a breath preparing myself to face the surprisingly large amount of people who came for the interview to be my assistant, I was preparing myself to meet the weird and weirdest luckily there would be that one competent person.

We went into the building and settled down in the office where the interviews would take place.

"How many people came?" I groaned as someone dropped a bottle of water in front of me. I huffed and ran my hands through my hair.

"Only fifty passed to this level, let's deal with it for now," Sheila said and I sank into my seat.

She sat beside me and adjusted her suit before saying in a very professional voice, "The first candidate please!"

A woman with a very tiny physique came in and adjusted her beanie, she looked like she was trying to hold back a blush.

I squinted my eyes and gazed at her. I was about to talk when she yelled, "QUINN MANCHESTER, PLEASE TAKE A PICTURE WITH ME!"

My chair almost stumbled backward, I was beyond startled. Sheila was in the same state as me, I took my hand to my beating chest automatically to check if it was still working.

She laughed and told me to shush, she pointed at the door and laughed again "I'm...I'm your...big.....bigger....biggest....fan..." She couldn't even stand straight she kept on moving back and forth like she was dancing.

I breathed heavily and stared at her not knowing what to do, she laughed again and brought out a phone from her pocket "On-one," She grinned like a Cheshire cat and shuffled to my table.

"SECURITY!!!!" Sheila and I yelled at the top of our lungs before the girl could get too close.

She looked around to see if a burglar had come in, not knowing that she was the one we were calling help for.

The security men came and took her away with her yelling 'Come on men', I opened my bottle of water drank up to half, and looked at Sheila to see her doing the same.

It's always bad luck when the first person is already like this.

I forced myself to sit upright as an average-height chubby girl walked in with a wide smile on her face, I worried that her facial muscles would hurt.

It seemed like she used an entire tube of lipgloss on her lips, I took the file in front of me and read, "Joanna?"

She nodded immediately and bowed slightly "I'm Joanna Brink. I'm twenty-five years old. I have three cats Janet, Jane, and Jelly. It's my first time doing a job like this. My friend Lilly recommended this job for me....and I think you have a great fashion sense."

I tilted my head to raise my eyebrows at Sheila. She had hidden her gaze from mine using her hand.

"Did you really test them before bringing them here?" I asked Sheila.

"Joanna!" Sheila began to stop me from completing the questionnaire.

"Yes, ma'am," She answered, instinctively.

"Firstly....most of what you said right now was.....unnecessary. And Miss Manchester hates those who are talkative.."

"I.....I can be very quiet too. I can make good coffee......I won't get tired easily..so I'm perfect for someone who would have to follow Quinn everywhere," Joanna said all at once cutting Sheila off.

I sank into my seat while rolling my eyes and asked a question I was sure she wouldn't be able to answer. "What would you do in a position whereby I'm involved in a fatal accident and you have to either save yourself or me?"

Her eyes widened and silence engulfed the room. I stared at her with a burning gaze. I kept my elbows on the table and rested my head on my hands.

"You've got ten seconds to answer, ten."

"Nine."

"Eight."

"Seven."

She bit her lower lip and fumbled with her hands while racking her brain, "Six."

"Fi-"

"My job would be to ensure that you won't be in a position like that," She breathed heavily as she saw that I paused at her sentence.

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She noticed that I hadn't said anything and pressed her lips together. "First and foremost I won't make you ever be in that position."

Sheila smacked her lips together, I licked my lower lips and smiled a little.

"Next!"

"Hello." The next woman came in. She bowed politely.

~~~~~♡♡♡~~~~~

"I'm going to be out of town this weekend," I told Sheila, we were at the entrance of the Manchester palace.

Her eyes bulged out of its socket. "What? Why your schedule is so full right now!"

"I have to see someone very important."

She tsked and I licked my bottom lips.

She perked up again, "But why now? You just hired your assistant and we have so many shots..."

I tucked my hair behind my hair. "Yeah, but she's starting next week and I can do extra work next week but I really have to go this weekend."

"Is it your new boyfriend?"

I hiccuped, "Well.....it's related to him but also me too."

She shook her head. "I know you're getting older and need.....war..warmth yes warmth and....love from your partner I can understand that but are u going to stay overnight? With him? On the same bed?"

I huffed if only she knew that it was all fake.

"I'll be going now," I announced and grabbed my coat.

Sheila held my hand as I was about to get down. "No matter what you can't afford to get pregnant now, you're still shooting a movie and you need to maintain your body for your modeling."

I instantly shut the door, I had already gotten to the front door when I heard the Van door open.

"FOR PRECAUTIONS DON'T SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM! TAKE MY ADVICE," Sheila yelled and I almost stumbled.

I stared speechless at the Van disappearing once Sheila closed the door. My back was rested on the door and I fell backward once Xenia abruptly opened the door.

I cursed and groaned at the impact of my butt kissing the ground. Xenia busted out laughing at my pain, I had no time to shoot her a death glare.

"Get up," She said as her greeting and helped me up.

"You almost cracked my spine, and all you do is laugh!" I cried as she hauled me to the couch and helped me to lay on my stomach, I didn't dare to sit on my ass.

She chuckled and smacked my ass because I was laying on my stomach. A louder cry escaped my lips, as my face screamed pain.

"Xenia, you bitch I'll get back at you," I yelled as she went into the kitchen. "Where's mum?" I cried and she let out a very very annoying laugh as she came back to my view with an ice pack.

She laid in on my ass. "Ahh, it's so cold!" I complained. "Wait till my fans hear that you hurt me."

"Oh please, who grew up with you and had to put up with you," She tsked and sat on a couch beside me. I rested my head on my chin to look at her.

"When would Mum and Dad get back from the meeting?"

"Probably very soon. Mum just asked me if I wanted McDonald's."

"Sooo," I sang, wiggling my eyebrows. Xenia looked up from her phone and gave me a 'What do you want?' look.

"Milo told me-"

"Don't believe anything he tells you."

I pouted, "He told me to tell you that by six o'clock on Friday, four days from now you should be at Lindy's."

She froze. "Why? He has never told me anything about going to Lindy's." Her pupils moved around warily.

I probably had an annoying look on my face because she hissed and hit my face with a pillow.

"Hey!" I said not hiding my annoying laugh, she gave me a death glare as she sat on a couch far away from me.

"Stop looking at me like that, I told you that I don't like Milo. I have a boyfriend."

"Pfffftttt, You like Milo not that Ray or whatever his name is. And besides, I don't trust him he just has this kinda vibe around him that says he's not to be trusted."

We all have to agree some boys have Playboy written all over their faces and I'm not going to let Xenia have her heart broken.

"Okay that's not fair, how could you say that about the boy I care about," Xenia pouted, disappointment and pain dripping from her voice.

I know how much she likes this guy, and that's what I'm scared of.

"Xenia," I called in the most gentle voice I could muster, she looked up and I smiled.

"Ryan is not like that," She breathed."Okay just trust me. I trust him."

That's what they all say.

I sucked my inner cheek and forced a smile, I hope so Xenia.

The door suddenly opened, and our parents walked in. "Hey!" Xenia said as she collected the McDonald's pack from our dad.

"Who do we have here?" My dad laughed as he spotted me and I couldn't help but laugh back.

My mum followed my dad's gaze and saw me, "My sweetie."

I didn't tell anyone that I would be visiting because someone that I surprisingly trusted told me not to. She told me to surprise them and ask my mum a question, her reaction to the question would be more than enough to convince me.

I already told Ace's grandma that I would be coming no matter my mum's reaction because I wanted to know what she wanted to tell me that can't be said over the phone.

But I still wanna know my mum's reaction.

"Your sweetie, then what am I?" My dad asked his wife feigning hurt.

My mum threw her head back and laughed brightly. "When you still had it you were more than my sweetie."

"So I'm old and don't have it anymore."

"I never said that." My mother defended herself and kissed him.

I could hear Xenia gagging as she went upstairs, I chuckled.

"What caught your buttocks?" My mum laughed as she took the ice pack off my butt.

My dad took the pack to the kitchen. I tried to move but the pain shot up my spine making me lay back down instantly.

Did Xenia break my fucking spine?

"I think your daughter broke my spine," I groaned.

"None of my daughters would do that." My dad defended her.

My mum took a bottle of wine from the two bottles my dad had dropped on the table. "I can't let Xenia take this one it's too expensive to be broken," She said. My dad pointed at her and nodded.

"Good call."

My mum began to go up the stairs, and I called her to stop.

"Mum wait."

I tried to get up and my dad helped me to stand upright, he held my hands.

"I'm going to meet someone and stay with her for the weekend," I started and she looked at me puzzled.

"Oh-kay?" She said unsure of where I was going with this.

I licked my bottom lip, "And surprisingly she said you know her." My mum squinted her eyes.

"But don't worry Ace would be with me."

"Overnight?" My dad asked me in a low voice.

"Yes, two nights, two days." I said half to my dad and half to my mum, "Enough for her to tell me everything she wants to say."

"Two nights, are you staying in the same room?" My dad asked again giving me a look.

I pressed my lips together. "Probably, Her house isn't too grand so there won't be many rooms......even though she's Ace's grandmother...Mrs. Winston."

A loud shattering sound erupted throughout the building as the wine glass that was once in my mother's hands fell and shattered down the marble stairs, the red liquid gushed out as my mother stared at me frozen in a spot.
