"T5, We love you", the crowd in front of the GG entertainments were chanting loudly. Emily had to go through the back door to get in. She is extremely nervous. She just can't believe that she made it through the interview last week. She is now about to be the new assistant of the biggest boy band in business and today is going to be her first day at work. Moreover, she is going to meet the idols. She took deep breaths as she took the elevator up to the second floor of GG entertainments. She doesn't want to lose this job because it's high-paying, and it can pay off her mom's debts.
Emily's parents work in a factory nearby. Growing up, her family had their bad times. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson had to send three of their girls to school. That's expensive. Emily was always thoughtful. She has worked a lot of part time jobs. She's 24 now, while her younger sisters are Lisa, who is 19, and Gina, who is 17. Recently they moved to a new city and Emily is still looking for a new part time job that could let her pay some of her tuition fees and help her parents a little. Her sisters are die-hard fans of T5. But is Emily excited? Emily never found T5 as addicting as her sisters find them to be. Maybe she was too busy with her academics and part time jobs. She never paid attention.
As she was in the elevator, she thought about the past week. She was working part-time at a restaurant, and she never expected one of the customers, who booked the entire place for the evening, to offer her an interview. He was a bright, middle-aged man, treating his employees to dinner, who was pleased at Emily's service as a waitress. "I think you would make a great assistant and guess what? My company is hiring one. Would you like to attend the interview tomorrow?" he asked with a gentle smile. "Thank you, Sir, but I think I'm good here". Emily refused, as she didn't want to trust, the complete stranger. "Well, that's a loss, but I would still leave my card with you in case you rethink about it", he said, and handed the card over to Emily. She accepted it and watched him leave the café. She did not take a look at the card and slipped it in her pocket as she had to wait for more tables.
She returned home at night. Lisa and Gina were watching a special program that featured T5. "Why are they so obsessed with these boys?", Emily thought to herself.
May sat down on the couch near Lisa and Gina. She ran her hand into her pocket and took a good look at it. "TOM STALIN, CEO GG ENTERTAINMENTS", it said. Suddenly, Gina snatched the card from her. "GG?? Why do you have this?" she asked. Emily explained what happened at the café. "Are you serious? How could you deny an offer from GG entertainment??", asked Lisa. "Don't you know they are the best in show business and that T5 belongs to GG?" Gina asked.
"It could be a fraud or impostor trying to trick people. I did not want to trust someone I just met at the café." Emily replied. Gina opened her iPad and showed Emily a picture. "Is this the guy you saw?", she asked. "Yes! It's him!" Emily exclaimed, realizing that she had met the real CEO of one of the top companies and got offered a job interview.
Emily decided to attend the interview and managed to pass. She just couldn't believe it when they spoke to her about the salary. It was a blessing in disguise! She thought to herself. Maybe her life is going to change.
She stepped out of the elevator and one of the employees led her to a conference room. At the end of the room was a huge picture of T5. A band of handsome, sexy, young men. The hot topic worldwide.
T5 gained fame from their very first album. The band of 5 boys from ages 15 to 19 impressed the audience from their very first song. It's been 5 years since their debut, and they are now the best in show business, worshiped by millions of fans.
Sean, a 28-year-old vocalist, is the band's leader and oldest member and the one with the greatest number of fans worldwide. Fans like to call him "the sexy demon".
Ryan, 24 years old, vocalist and rapper. According to fans, he is the gentlest member. Apart from his music career, he is quite successful in his acting career as he managed to steal a lot of hearts with his first TV series.
Kevin and Joe are both 22 years old and are rappers.
Last but not the least, the cutest by popular opinion and the youngest member of T5 is Dan, who is also a vocalist.
This is what Emily learned from her sisters.
CEO Tom entered the room. "Good morning, Miss, glad that you could make it.", he smiled at Emily "Good morning, thank you for letting me work with you." She expressed her gratitude. He asked her to have a seat. She took a seat and made herself comfortable.
The door opened and a handsome guy entered. It was Ryan. "Where are the boys?", the CEO asked. "They will be here in a couple of minutes, Mr. Stalin", Ryan replied. He glanced at Emily and didn't seem to care much. In no time, 3 members of T5 entered the room.
There was Sean, tall with black hair, an incredible physique and a cold look on his face. Kevin, with his hair dyed blonde, he was wearing a Gucci shirt and looked kind of sad. Joe was the only one who smiled at her. Finally, it made her feel a little better as she was really feeling awkward. Dan was not there.
"Boys, meet Ms. Emily Johnson who will be your new assistant. I'll have to attend a meeting today, so I'll take my leave while you guys get to know your new assistant" said Tom, and exited the room.
Suddenly, all the boys fixed their attention on Emily.
"Hello! I am Emily, and I am pleased to work with you. Let's look forward to successful co-operation" she said. Ryan looked at her with contempt while Sean advanced towards her. She started walking backwards. "Go get coffee," he said. "Your job starts right now!
"Yes" she replied and rushed out of the room.
She was quite surprised. According to her sisters and what she saw on a show, Ryan is supposed to be gentle and warm. But he gave off a negative vibe.
Emily rushed into the conference room after getting coffee for T5. To her surprise, the boys had already left there. While she realized that her rushing to the cafeteria and getting coffee as Sean instructed her was for nothing, she received a text message from an unknown number. It read "Restock the fridge, get toiletry, get the costumes for Wednesday's concert from star fashions, get pizza for 8 people by 7pm in the evening." While she was wondering about this unknown number, someone with a deep voice said, "Did you receive the text message I sent?" Emily turned around to notice a tall, gentle looking guy of about 45 years of age. "Hello sir, are you the one who texted me?" Emily asked. "Oh yes! Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Jeff, kind of like a manager to T5. I also drive them around. Nice to meet you, Miss Johnson." Emily bowed and said "Nice to meet you too, Jeff. I got coffee for T5. Can you let me know where they are, so that I can deliver these?"
"Oh! They had already left for a promotional event. Why don't you give me these? I can deliver them to the other staff." "I see," Emily replied softly.
"Make sure that you complete all the tasks listed in the text message. The boys really hate it when their freezers are empty. I'll text you their villa's address." he said, smiling.
"I get it. "
Jeff exited the room and Emily noticed that it was already 4pm. She has to get all the things done quickly.
After getting the groceries and costumes, she ordered takeout. She reached the villa by 6:30 pm. The gates were huge. It was a huge area of land. The Villa looked like big old mansion. It looked really luxurious. She has never been in one this big. She rang the doorbell, and Jeff opened the door for her. She greeted him, and he led her towards the drawing room. There, on the couch, she saw Dan lying. As soon as he saw her, he got up and smiled at her. "You must be our new assistant." "Yes, I am." "Nice to meet you miss…." "Emily. I am Emily Johnson. Nice to meet you sir." "What a lovely name! Emily. Do you need a hand?" he asked. She was amused. He is really warm and gentle, unlike the other members she met that afternoon. He complimented her name and asked her if she needed help, which made her blush. She didn't know that she would be in this particular situation with a celebrity, one of the world's most wanted handsome young men. "It's okay. I'll do it myself." "OK then. I'll see you later," he said, and took the stairs to the first floor. Emily started restocking the freezer. Some of the members came by to get beer while she was sorting out the groceries and supplies, but none seemed to care much about her.
It was about 6:45 pm and someone hit the doorbell. "That must be the takeout" she said to herself and walked towards the door and opened it. It was Sean! With the same contempt and cold look on his face, but this time he looked more irritated. He was not polite to her during their first meeting.
"Move away!! What are you staring at?" he said, angrily, and stormed inside. This made her scared. Jeff came downstairs and was trying to speak to him. He seemed to be very angry and didn't want to talk. Emily couldn't hear what they were saying but something that Jeff said calmed him down a bit, and he sat on the couch. Still, he looked kind of frustrated. The doorbell rang again and this time it was really the takeout.
Emily brought it and served it on the table.
" We have a photo-shoot tomorrow. So, you should reach the company at 9:30 am." Jeff told Emily. She agreed. Jeff offered to give her a ride home, but she refused as she had to visit her friend. It was about 10 pm.
She left the villa and met with her friend.
"Woo hooo here comes the new celebrity assistant, Ms. Emily" Tia said loudly. Emily laughed. They had a few drinks together and she told Tia about her first day.
Emily and Tia have been friends since middle school. Her family was not that rich, but her dad landed a high-paying job, and their family went up the social ladder. Tia never mistreated Emily. She went to the best university and now has a good job in the same company that her dad works for. Emily feels comfortable around Tia, and she shares everything with her.
"Wow! Really? These boys look really nice on screen. Especially Ryan. I can't believe that he is the arrogant type", Tia said.
"Well, it's weird, but the pay is excellent. I hope I can help mom out. Guess I'll have to put up with these behaviors. Today's dinner is on me!", Emily said. She returned home by about 1 am. As she lay on her bed, she wondered how her life would turn out to be. Tomorrow, she'll have to wake up early and work.
