“If you can’t afford this drink, why do you think you can afford to go back and forth with me?”
WAIT I LOVE HER
“Yeah, but I’m trying to figure out if everybody gets this treatment.” They didn’t. Russ was different than the others.
“It’s beautiful.” “Yeah, it is,” Russ responded quietly. I glanced at him and found him staring at me. I grinned. “You’re not looking.” “Oh, I’m looking.”
“Russell Long…” Confused, my head jerked in the direction she pointed and my breathing hitched. “The president and CEO of Real Life Fashions.”
OH ITS SO MUCH WORSE....
“Nina…” He chewed his lip for a moment before gesturing between the two of us. “Did you plan this?”
Oh russ i was rooting for you..
“What’s your favorite verse right now?” he asked. “Oh, it’s gotta be when Megan Thee Stallion said…” I went on to rap my favorite lines from one of my favorite songs. I moved my shoulders to the beat in my head. “I’ve been obsessed with that verse since I first heard it. What’s yours?” His eyebrows were raised. “Uh … Proverbs 3:5.” The silence that followed was like a vacuum. I thought I heard God laugh.
she’s sooo me
“I see.” She nodded slowly as she checked her phone. “So you can’t do your job?”
Oh i like her
“No, it’s not my only good idea. But it’s hard to work with fat—” He hooked his thumb toward me. “Watch your fucking mouth,” he growled, eyes flashing. He stepped forward, getting in his face. “You’re fired.”
GOOODDDDDD
I had no concept of time. I had no fear of being caught.
WELL I DO
Did it have everything you needed? Nina: Every single thing. And it’s the right brands and everything. How did you know? Russ: I pay attention.

“I love when you get that look.” I smiled up at him. “What look?” He cupped my cheeks. “That one.” “Why?” I whispered. “I love seeing you happy.”
you might as well admit you love him and propose,” Aaliyah teased. “Propose to a man?” I frowned. “I wouldn’t even propose a toast!”
I can’t believe I missed my opportunity to impress Bowen, I thought with slight dismay.
Okay but aliyah is why you mised not him
“Do you wish Remedy would’ve never crossed my path?” “Would it have made my life easier? Yes. But every time you tell me how much this opportunity means to you and your career, I want it for you even more. Watching you do your thing and seeing the photos of you in my campaign make me proud. So, I can’t say I wish Remedy wouldn’t have offered the job to you. You deserve the job. You’re good at the job.”
When we’d rehearsed on Sunday, the lights were on, and I knew where he was seated. He corrected mistakes, restarted walks, adjusted lights, changed music, and anything else to perfect his show.
Interesting that he's in charge... Not usual lol
The man nodded. “It’s like Russell designed the trench with her in mind.”
OH HE DIIIDDD
Aaliyah: Let’s play ball! Nina: Aaliyah, no. You ruined it. That’s baseball. Jazz: Are you two done?
My stomach plummeted. What does that mean? Is this because of me? Because of us?
No bby he mentioned he wanted the more creative side a long time ago
“Don’t you have somewhere you’re supposed to be,” I murmured into his mouth. Pulling away fractionally, he waited until I met his gaze before he spoke. “I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
