Morning, (Phone’s ringing) Ring ring…
Anne: Hello.. (With cracking voice)
Joy: The hell happened to you? Ignoring my calls now?
Joy is Anne’s childhood friend, also a famous model in Italy.
Anne: hmm…
Joy: What was that? Gosh Anne, don’t tell me you cried again. Is that what you're gonna do all day? Cry and cry. When are you gonna stop crying? Until you cry with blood? Keep it together Anne that’s not who you are. You know what call me when you decided to stop being dumb.
Anne ended the call and saw herself in the mirror “Joy is right. This is not who I am, this is the second time that I’ve been broke and I kinda miss this pain, it’s been awhile since I felt this.”
“Wait, what is the date today?” Asking herself, she didn’t know the date because she locked herself in her room for 2 days, looking at her phone’s calendar “Shoot grandma’s birthday is tomorrow ” she looked herself in the mirror again and said, “get your shit together Anne Smith it’s just a man, move on.”
After that she got ready and asked her driver to go to her company. She is the famous designer and also a daughter of a gang leader. She is trying to keep her profile low because of her dad’s enemies. There’s a secret door in her company that only her and close to her can enter, anyone in the company doesn't know who she is except her PA.
PA: Welcome back Ms. Smith
Anne: Bring the paper works that I missed when I’m gone and give me a cup of coffee.
“Yes Miss,” her PA said and left. She was doing her work at her laptop until she got a call from her father.
Anne: Yes father?
Mrs. Smith: How have been? Decided to work again? I told once that…
(She interrupted her father and said)
Anne: Father, I know you don’t have to scold me over and over again. Is this why you called me?
Mrs. Smith: I’m not. I’m just reminding you sweetheart anyhow, I called you because your grandma wants you to go back home for her birthday tomorrow.
Anne: Okay. (Call ended)
Her PA knocks on the door and enters with a cup of coffee and some paper works “Miss Smith, mam Joy is here” Her PA said. Let her in, Anne said and her PA bowed and left. A minute later Joy enters her office.
Joy: Why didn’t you call me back? (While hugging her)
Anne: (Hugs her back) I’m sorry. You look beautiful, are you going somewhere?
Joy: (breaks the hug) WE ARE going somewhere c’mon it’s been a while.
To where? Anne asked Joy while pulling her hand out of her office. Secret, Joy said. Anne just followed her and just smiled “I’m so grateful to have her in my life” Anne said in her head.
Inside Joy’s car, Anne texted her driver telling him to not wait for her while in other hand Joy texting Ethan, their other friend. Ethan is famous because he owned most of the car company in Italy. Joy and Anne met Ethan back in high school they used to hate each other but Ethan once saved Joy when she almost got kidnapped and after that they all got each other's backs.
Anne: Where are we going? I need to go back early for grandma’s birthday tomorrow.
Joy: We got you. Ethan is already in there so stay back and relax.
5 mins. Later they arrived at the bar and in there Ethan was waiting for them. There was a long *** line, the bar was so famous that all people wanted to get in. “What took you guys so long? I’ve been standing here for almost half an hour” Ethan complained.
Joy: Why here? There’s too much people here
Anne: Why are so many people in here (annoyed)
Ethan: This bar just opened 2 weeks ago and it’s already famous. I heard a lot about it and one of our... I mean my friend is actually the owner, so he invited me. Of course you wouldn’t know cause your too busy being a fool (looking at Anne)
When Anne was about to defend herself Joy just smack Ethan right in his head (Smack) “Shut your *** up” Joy told him. “AHHHHHHH, that hurts” Ethan crying with pain and Anne just laughing at him. “Are you done acting? If so let’s go in” Anne said to Ethan. Ethan told the lady his name and guided them into the VVIP room. Inside the room there’s already a refrigerator full of expensive liquor and wine.
Ethan: So what do you want me to do with your little bastard of ours? (Ranz)
Ranz was the name of Anne’s ex boyfriend, the one that she caught cheating on her on their 2nd anniversary.
Ethan: Just tell me and I take action of it (while pouring some wine in Anne’s glass)
Anne: (Smirk) give him want he want same for that women, you know what I mean (drinking her wine)
Ethan and Joy already understood what Anne meant, so Ethan called his secretary and ordered him what to do with Ranz while Joy also called her secretary about that woman. After that, they are just both waiting for Anne to tell them the whole story.
FLASHBACK (RANZ AND ANNE’S ANNIVERSARY)
Is that all for today? Anne asked her PA. Yes miss, she replied, also Mrs. Smith called. He wanted me to tell you to call him because he can’t reach you, she added. Anne just nodded and asked her PA, “Do you have the thing that I asked you a week ago?” Yes miss, here you go, her PA said. “Okay good work today, I’m leaving” Anne said.
Well that thing is for Ranz’s anniversary present, Anne sent her driver away because she wanted to drive by herself, she was on her way to Ranz condo to celebrate their 2nd anniversary. At this time Ranz didn’t have any idea that Anne is a famous designer because nobody actually knows what she looks like. Anne has reached Ranz’s condominiums and is about to take the elevator to his floor. She was patiently waiting for the elevator door to open, she was staring at her gift for Ranz thinking if he would like it (Ting) the elevator door opened when she was about to take a step inside the elevator she just stopped frozen. She saw Ranz making out with another girl and Ranz just saw her when the elevator door was closing. Anne Just dropped the gift and stepped on it and left.
Ranz went looking for her but all he found is a box inside of it is an expensive watch that has a crack on it. Anne was forcing herself not to cry all she can think of is Ranz with another woman. She reached her home and hurried to her room and there she stayed for 2 days crying.
BACK IN THE PRESENT
Ethan: Well I think this is the stupidest question ever but are you okay?
Joy: Sigh, not only the stupidest but also the dumbest question ever.
Anne: Yeah I’m okay 2 days is enough for me to cry for that bastard. This the second time that I cried for a man and probably the last one. (finished her wine) Anyway you said the owner of this bar is your friend right where is he?
Ethan looked nervous when Anne asked about the owner of the bar. “Hey stupid are you okay or what?” Joy asked Ethan, “yeah yeah I’m I'm okay what?” Ethan replied nervously. “What’s wrong with you?” Anne asked, “is your friend here, tell him to join us” Anne added. Ethan just nodded and nervously texted the owner of the bar.
