"Mr. Kingston, you had a busy morning.." Derik, one of the managers, asked.
"Yes, I had to invite a guest for the evening, make my penthouse look like a dream for any girl," Adam halted at the large doors to arch his back. The door opened to a Hall full of professionals gathered around a table, with their mouths parched, standing at the sight of one person, Adam Kingston.
The lights go dim, but Adam gazes at one wrinkled face, Olivia Stone, his stepmother, and tilts his head in a certain respect. Olivia poses back with a fake smile as always.
Adam continues with his day a little late than usual which was noticed by everyone.

On the other side
I run to the pinned location on my phone and find a blonde with long legs encircled by many people taking photos with her. I took my phone out to match her face with the one I received.
Stepping close I introduce herself, " Hi, Miss. Baron, I am from "The helping hand agency." Natalia didn't let me finish, "Oh, there you are. Call me Madam. Okay, and First, send all these people away now." Natalia ordered in a deathly voice by driving her hands in the air, placing one knee on the other, and waving toward the people taking photos. "Yeah, before that, Start by taking your jacket off so people can see the so-called logo of your company on your tacky t-shirt." What? did she just say? It's mid of November. I will freeze myself to my bones. But I had to take my jacket off, for the sake of getting my agency logo out in the pictures with Natalia. "Wosshh" I let out a light sound as an icy layer of winter makes me convulse.
"Sure, Madam," I do as she asks. While pushing people away from Natalia, I got shoved against the corner but, I stretched hard and cleared Natalia's side and requested, "Madam, you should be inside the cafe, not in an open area..."
"Don't trouble, we have a long shopping list to do before the lunch, I have to look flawless." Natalia balled her tongue and used a fancy accent. She looked perfect to me all lasered from her neck to the toe. I wondered, " What other length she would go to look good now? Plastic surgery?"
Miss Natalia pointed at her bag and walked to the black SUV, I quickly leaned forward, picking the bag after her.
The guard opened the door, and Natalia sat in, waving at all standing outside. I got a seat by the driver in front.
"This car scents the same from last night," I gab to myself and stare at the driver's face. It was him, from the last night. My breath hitched " You---" But before I could utter another word Natalia ordered the driver, "Take me to the Kingston Mall."
"TO WHERE?" my insides yelled to me, and I looked at the driver's face, and then on the dashboard with bold letters "Kingston."
"I will turn the heater on for you, Madam," Said the driver. My eyes again shifted to the driver's face as If he was talking to me. And I found him looking directly at my thin t-shirt.
"No, I am good, I am wearing the fluff from Kingston's new collection, I feel warm enough," Natalia replied, fixing her hair in place.
But he turned the heater on.
"My mirror?" Natalia asked me.
I opened the bag and found tons of branded items and replied rambling. "There is no mirror,"
"Check the other pocket,"
I thoroughly looked and handed her the mirror,
"My lipstick,"
I was more pissed to find myself next to that driver. I looked at the driver's face again, driving calmly, I grabbed 7 lipsticks all at once "Here, pick any," I turned to her, blinking my eyes at her in regard.
Before I could return to my seat properly, the driver pulled the hand brake, and my head got smashed into the dashboard. "Ouch"
The driver quickly pulled the car to the side and asked, "Madam do we need to call Mr.Adam"
I quickly, turned to Natalia to see her reaction, But she said, " Why would I disturb my darling. Just drive." Natalia didn't give a dam to my head that just got smacked, but as I again raised my eyes to the driver's face, he was talking to me again. Directly to me? How idiot of this woman? Cant, she judges that the driver is talking to me continuously? Why?
The driver didn't push the race until I said in a low voice, " I am okay."
"Sure, Madam." The driver said and focussed his eyes back on the road.
Soon we reached the Kingston Mall, Building that topped to the sky. I poked my head out to see how extravagant it looked from the outside dripping riches of the family.
The guards must have identified Natalia as they opened the doors. And I followed Natalia as she went from one outlet to another. I could hardly name those brands, but she was so quick to pick what she needed.
And all I did was, carry her bags like a good escort. She didn't pay a single, penny to anyone, "Here grab my vlogging camera too and focus on me." I already had 20 shopping bags but had to deliver the service. She spent 4 hours doing the shopping and vlogging but didn't mention my agency name for once.
"AHH, my hands can turn into stone anytime soon." I barely moved my hair out of my face with the back of my hand, holding 25 shopping bags now. I had a flashback of him from the morning when he moved my hair and bit me softly.
"You are so sluggish, I won't give credit to your agency, walk!!" Natalia's voice pulled me back to reality, and I followed her to a Spa.
"My girl..." Someone called at the back, as we both spun.
"Miss Olivia. How are you?" Natalia looked familiar with her. "How come I haven't seen your niece, Jade, in so long? Will she be joining us for lunch?"
"She can't be stopped easily. I am sure she will come once Adam calls her." That woman, Olivia, directly collared at her. And I think Natalia regretted asking that.
"Our annual meeting ended about an hour ago, we better not be late." Olivia had a tone as she was more important to the family than Natalia.
"Are they talking about that Adam Kingston I saw this morning? Like impossible? Such a rich man won't have time for all that" My brain cells were confused, and I had to confirm what lunch were they having? And with who exactly?
They both kissed each other's cheeks and retaliated. But there it goes, the time where they both change into magnificent red carpet dresses, getting their makeup done by some professionals. "Are they going to eat lunch like that?"
I stood there in the corner holding all those bags, and no one offered me the chair, The temperature was low, and my nose turned red. My heels were aching, but I had to do all that to keep a roof over my head.
It took them 2 hours, and the women in those velvet dresses were ready to beat the Kardashians at their own game. "I am glad they didn't consider going to plastic surgery just before lunch."
Miss Olivia walked out of the spa first, smiling at Natalia.
"Come here, you hand."
"Are you calling me," I asked. "My name is Stel--"
"Oh whatever, come here, hand these bags to my designer in the next room, and keep calling me, Madam, okay."
I did as she asked and handed the bags there, " Miss Baron, I mean Madam, you did not post a story about our agency."
"You dumb Fuck, look at yourself, do not order me." She yelled at me and stepped out of the area, "Follow now or I can do worse,..."
My fingers were sore and painful now, and I may have left my jacket somewhere in those trial rooms where she took me "SHIT"
I took the elevator after her and reached the 18th floor, The door of the elevator opened to a private area for the Kingston family, There were only 2 people other than staff.
That woman Olivia and a boy sitting next to her. Natalia welcomed herself with a smile and took the chair as I stood at her back.
"Did the food come from heaven? God even picked a perfect lunch for this family by himself," My stomach growled at the panorama of these dishes?
I escorted her for hours, and my break time was close to "Madam, shall I leave now? But can you post a story on your account first," The seats were placed at a far distance, Olivia and that other boy possibly couldn't have heard us?
Not knowing when the elevator opened again, Natalia placed her heel on my foot to mute me.
I shrieked in pain, moving a step back, and fell right into the arms of the man they had been all lingering for, "Adam Kingston" with green eyes, a shaped jawline, a Greek God with one hand on my stomach and the other snaking around my shoulder.
He didn't let me go, but as I snapped out of it, I saw all of them standing and darting at us,
"Are you okay?" Adam asked, his heavenly voice nudged the poor, hungry girl inside me, and my stomach growled again.
"Are you hungry?" Adam made me stand on my feet, with his hands still in the same place. "SHIT THEY ALL HEARD IT, THIS TIME,...." I felt so embarrassed as they all were gawking at us.
