Chapter 54 - Hermes, the Additional Baggage

Hermes Marco sits firmly inside his car for a over an hour tinkering with his laptop working. He and his security are parked in front of a building waiting for Rosa to come out.

Brie and Rosa shake hands with Tatiana Preston, Skin Au Lait's marketing manager. They come into another agreement of Rosa's line for Skin Au Lait. Brie tightly hugs Tatiana and gives her a peck on the cheek. "Thank you deary."

Tatiana clasps Brie's hand saying, "Don't mention it. I'm getting a promotion soon because of Rosa's line."

"We need to celebrate then! It's almost time to get out of the office," Brie tugs her going to the lift.

"Not today. Take it as a rain check. I still have a presentation after this. You know, got to work doubly hard," Tatiana winks patting Brie's hand.

Rosa gets on the lift first and waves goodbye, "See you then Tatiana. Don't forget your promise. We'll wait for your call."

Tatiana and Brie formed their friendship when they were still starting their career. They constantly call each other. When Brie started handling Rosa's career, Tatiana got Rosa as one of Skin Au Lait's ambassadors. After that, Rosa's appearance in their promotions help in raising their product sales and boosting Tatiana's career.

When Hermes' head security sees Brie walking out of the building, he notifies his boss at once. Hermes set his laptop aside and goes out of his car. He walks toward the building entrance, followed by his securities holding a box. Upon seeing Rosa, he hands the box to her.

Rosa peers at the box then walk straight out to Brie's car waiting for them in front of the building.

Brie smiles saying, "It seems Rosa does not like it. I don't mind hand me downs." She takes the box from Hermes and walks after Rosa.

Brie keeps bugging Rosa as they enter the backstage dressing room. "You should have taken the box. It was heavenly delicious. Not too sweet but the best thing about it was the extra large fresh strawberries on top."

Rosa looks at Brie's face down to her stomach. She tells her, " I noticed your face becomes fluffier and your clothes fit you a bit tight. You've grown fat in a few days eating it all by yourself."

"I didn't think you like to have a share of it. Next time I'll be a considerate friend by asking you first," Brie retorts and goes away.

She comes back holding two frappes in her hands. "Strawberry frappe from your favorite stalker."

Rosa hisses, "Does he really not get it? Gracious, I'm about to lose my wits. He is as deranged as you do, Brie."

Brie sits beside her sipping her green tea frappe. "He's too good-looking to be like Joker," she replies with a wide smirk on her face.

Rosa glares at her, "I don't know with you Poison Ivy!"
