It was Seven in the morning as Sam woke up to the news. 'Sam you need to see this right now.' 'What?' 'Look.'
"NN211
IN TODAY'S HEADLINE, WE'VE JUST RECEIVED THAT A PLANE FROM MOSCOW HAS CRASHED, WE HOPE THOSE PEOPLE ARE OKAY.
IT IS SHOCKING TO SAY THAT ANNA MILLER HAS ACTUALLY DONE A GREAT JOB AT RUNNING LANCE'S CAREER. SHE DID OVER 15 STUNTS AND MADE OVER $680 MILLION, THEN COVERED UP 3 BUSINESSES WITH A SUM OF $890 MILLION. IS THERE ANYTHING SHE CAN NOT DO?"
Sam stood there in shock, he was furious at how she was doing it so easily. 'How?' 'I don't know Sam, she just knows what's she's doing.' 'We better get ready, we're meeting her tomorrow.' 'Urgh, fine.'
When Anna arrived home, she got a phone call from her mother.
"Hey, mom."
"Sweetie, I'm so proud of you."
"Thanks, mom, I'll send the money and some gifts to you tomorrow."
"Thanks, Sweetie can I ask you something!"
"Yeah?"
"Do you like the new guy?"
"What no, why would you assume that mom."
"I-I thought so."
"Urgh, he's the worst."
"Sweetie, I'm your mother, I know you."
"Whatever."
"By the way, your brother is coming to you tomorrow, he wants to see how you're doing what you're doing."
"Yeah, I know, I sent him the address."
"Okay, sweet dreams."
"Good night, mama."
Said Anna as she hang up. Anna stood there quietly. She was shocked to see what she had done in the past few weeks. She got into her pajamas and slept, getting ready for tomorrow.
•••
Everyone stood in the office waiting for Anna, when she had arrived, it was like she was the president. She got in wearing a red long black dress with 2 gold earrings, black lipstick, brown hair, and dark red heels. Right next to her were about 8 bodyguards on both her sides. She was like royalty. Everyone knew her, so everyone would wanna meet her.
When she arrived in front of Sam and Jessica, she stood there quietly, waiting for a greeting. As Anna cleared her throat, Sam quickly noticed and greeted her with a 'Good day, Anna.' Anna looked at him in disgust. 'Well I have to say, you take long to greet your guests and don't serve a simple beverage.' 'I'm sorry Miss Smith.' 'It's Miss Miller to you, Lopez.' 'Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Miller, we are business partners, not servants.' 'Im afraid I do not like your tone, Mr Lopez.' 'Well, you'll have to deal with it.' I'm afraid you'll have to deal with me canceling this deal.' said Anna as she turned around. San quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back as he apologized. 'I'm sorry Miss Miller, what kind of a beverage would you want.' 'Black coffee with no sugar a bit of honey.' 'Yes madam.' 'Oh no, I want the lady to get it for me.' 'What!?' 'Did you just scream in my face.' 'No, she didn't, she'll go make your coffee right away.' 'Fine, little slut.' 'Excuse me.' 'Sorry ma'am.' said Jessica as she walked to the kitchen.
While Anna sat down, all her bodyguards stood right in front and at the back of her. 'Are they necessary?' 'Indeed they are, I trust no one.' 'Oh, okay.' 'Mr Lopez, I would like to ask you some questions.' 'Of course.' 'Why would you like to build that will not only benefit your company but the world?' 'A Senior center.' 'How will you make a profit or capital from this business?' 'You see, I want only for the elders to pay a fee of $50, so that I can negotiate with the government and fund the senior center, so any elderly can live there.' 'What are your intentions and motives.' 'Nothing, I suppose.' 'Hmmm, why do you want to build for the elderly but not orphans or the poor.' 'I was thinking of making my next project for some orphans, some of the poor ran from home and others didn't want to finish school, and why help them when we can help elderly people who were through it all.' 'People make mistakes, Mr Lopez.' 'I assure you they do, but doing something silly is not a mistake.' 'Oh, like firing someone for forgetting is not a mistake.' 'Uh, no.' 'Mr Lopez, I think we're done here, Just send me the designs and I'll see if I can approve.' 'Thank you, Miss Miller.' 'Goodbye.' said Anna as she walked out of the room. It was silent to see the person who cleaned Sam's house for money was the owner in charge of Sam's project and will be giving him the money. When Jessica arrived, Anna had almost left. 'Wow, it takes you three hours to make a glass of coffee.' 'Sorry ma'am, here's your coffee.' said Jessica. 'I'm afraid I don't want it anymore, I'll stop at Starbucks, next time be quick.' said Anna as she walked past Jessica who felt like throwing the coffee. 'What the fuck is her problem, I swear I'll forget about the business deal and kill that woman now.' 'Wait, you still need to pay your bills.' 'Oh yeah, speaking of bills, here's a letter for you.' 'Hm, let me see.' said Sam as he opened it. Sam was shocked and worried. 'What's the problem?' 'Look!' said Sam as she showed her the letter.
"Dear Mr Lopez,
We are sorry to say but we'll have to increase the rent, we are experiencing a bit of difficulty and we'll get back to you soon as it's fixed. The rent that is due next week is, $125 Million, we understand it was $10 Million, but as I said, difficulties.
We'll await your response.
Regards
The dubber company."
'Woah, here I thought I was in shit.' 'Oh man, I need to pay for that house.' 'Hey, why don't you buy a house for $100 thousand, like me.' 'I can't, people believe I'm rich so I have to live in a mansion, plus my family has been living there.' 'Ouch, I better get going, have to send Anna the designs.' 'I think I'm going ask her to increase the deal.' 'Ha!, Good luck with that.' said Jessica as she walked to her office. Sam was worried if Anna wasn't going to approve of the deal.
3 HOURS LATER
As Sam started wandering around his office waiting for Anna to call, it finally happened.
"Sam speaking, Hello?"
"Hey Mr Lopez, it's me, Anna."
"Yes, Miss Miller."
"I love the designs although there are too many windows I suppose, easily for an elderly to fall through and die."
"We'll remove it this instant."
"Good, and I see you have no place for the elders to meet their kids or grandchildren."
"They will, in the hall."
"I'm sorry but I don't approve of that, fix that, immediately."
"Yes, Ma'am."
"Goodbye."
"No, wait, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Would you mind increasing the deal by 15% up?"
"Why would I do that?"
"It's just, I have to pay rent because they increased it and if I don't I'll have no place to stay."
"Funny how I too had to find a place to stay but I had to make a plan."
"Please Anna."
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"I meant Miss Smith, no uh... Miller, Miss Miller."
"Clearly you're too nervous to talk so we'll discuss this later, how bout' I meet you at Cafe-Mafe, at 15:00."
"That would be great." Said Sam as Anna hang up the phone.
Sam pushed himself back into his chair with a relieved sigh. 'So, how'd it go?' 'Good, I think, she says I should meet her.' 'You know, if Jenna and the kids need a place to stay, they can stay with me.' 'It's fine, I'll come up with a plan, thanks Jessica.' said Sam. Out of nowhere, Jessica pushed the coffee she brought for herself onto his t-shirt. 'What the fuck.' 'I only care about the kids, not you Sam, so stop thinking were done, I have a lot to do.' Said Jessica as she left.
2½ HOURS LATER
As usual, as Anna entered the Restaurant, her bodyguards were on both sides and she rocked the clothes she was wearing. 'Good afternoon Miss Miller.' 'I don't need your greeting Mr Lopez, I just want to talk.' 'Of course.' 'Mr Lopez, do you really think I will give you the deal a raise.' 'Maybe if you would consider it.' 'No, why would I give you the deal a raise, just to pay your rent, FUCK NO!' Yelled Anna. 'Please Miss Miller, I'll do anything.' 'Anything huh?' 'Yes please.' 'My brother is coming and I think he needs a warm welcome, you will throw a welcome party which can promote the deal too by inviting some of the clients you worked with.' 'You want me to throw it?' 'Don't you want the increase?' 'Yes, I do.' 'Good, and one more thing, you and your workers will serve everyone at the party including Jessica.' 'No, I can't do that.' 'Then forget the deal, I hope your siblings love sleeping with strangers.' 'Fine, I'll do it, please just tell me when to host the party.' 'Tomorrow, at the ball of scall.' 'Yes, Madam.' 'We'll keep in touch.' said Anna as she walked out of the restaurant. Sam sat there crying, he was going to be humiliated, but he had no choice. He just started to worry about how he was going to tell Jessica.
