"you're aaliyah's mom?" i ask making sure i heard correctly

"didn't i just say that?" she ask rolling her eyes

"why are you here?" i ask growing agitated

"well,i saw the trending news and i couldn't help but wonder. what was my child doing with the most successful person in the world? my daughter isn't even all that if we're being for real. so why did you hire her? was she being a slut"

"excuse me? look i don't know who you are to be coming in my building talking about aaliyah like she isn't good with her job. she deserves this job and i see very much potential in her. i've heard much about you and to be honest i never want to see you again" i say

this lady had my girl messed up. how you birth a child and talk down about her like that? the nerve she thought i was going to let her sit there and disrespect aaliyah like that.

"i doubt it" she laughs

i stand up and walk in front of her. "you need to get the fuck out of here"

"oh is it because you're fucking my daughter? that's why you're taking up for her? i hope you know that you should be ashamed about your love for women. aaliyah disappointed me,who would've known she would be disgusting" she scoff

i'm really trying to be respectful but at this point i don't even care. "bitch get the fuck out my building,you're not allowed here anymore. your daughter will be good in my hands,especially when we fuck by the way. make sure next time you try to complain about her to ME,you have protection because i will not hesitate to beat the shit out of you"

she looks shocked by my words. she doesn't say anything but leave out of my office. see now that lady got me mad and all.

first off,it's weird how her mom came all the way from new york to california for that shit. her mom is weird in general but damn.

i continue back to what i was doing. i notice a collection i said i didn't want to be released just yet is released.

oh nah...i specifically told them to not release it yet. i stand up and storm out of my office.

i told them that for a reason. why do they decide not to listen to me? this is my business,i know what i'm doing.

i get in the elevator aggressively pressing the correct number. somebody's getting fired today.

i get on the correct floor and leave out the elevator. i slam open the website management door. the group of people all turn from their computers looking at me.

"oh ms.o'connell what brings you by?" one of the ladies asks me nervously

"i told you guys to not release the new collection until tomorrow. who's idea was it to not listen to my simple order?"

the room went silent which made me even more mad. "if someone don't say who made the call,i'll fire every single one of you. they're plenty of people who would love working here" i threaten

they all look around nervously. "if i count to three you all are fired,i'm so damn serious right now" i say

"it was me" a man say

"you're fucking fired. you listen to my orders and don't do what you think is right. you listen to me no matter what. who fucking releases new shit on a thursday anyways?" i rant

he must have thought he was so smart for the idea when in reality that was so fucking stupid. people get payed on friday's and it's proven people shop more on that day.

"i'm so sorry,i just-"

"i'm pretty sure when i hired you,you were given the rule to always listen to me. you went against that rule and because of you the sales will probably be low" i roll my eyes

"baby someone's at the door for you" my girlfriend say

"who is it?" i ask

"some lady said you might want to speak with her,i don't know" she say

i groan before heading out of the room. i walk up to the door to see a unfamiliar woman. i've never seen her before in my life.

i cross my arms waiting for her to speak.

"i'm nia williams,aaliyah's mom" she speaks

suddenly i was interested. "what are you doing here?" i ask raising my eyebrow

"i'm here for answers"

"about?"

"did billie cheat on you with aaliyah?" she asks

i look around behind her before telling her to come in. "you want something to drink?" i ask

"no thank you" she say

we both sit down and i begin to talk. "she didn't actually cheat on me" i confess

"what?!? why would you make that lie?" she asks

"aaliyah deserves to suffer. i saw my wife slowly fall out of love with me" i say

"so what you're saying is,billie's falling for her while she was with you"

"yes.she always denied it but i knew she was falling for her" i say

"listen,we can make a deal"

"what kind of deal?" i ask smirking before crossing my legs

"let's say aaliyah comes back home with me so i can fix her and billie's all yours again" she smile

i smile liking the thought of that. aaliyah would be out of the way and billie would be mine. we would have kids and live together forever.

"yes,i'm agreeing. what do you have planned?" i ask

"hey baby" i answer the phone smiling

"ouuuuu aaliyah's on the phone with her girlfriend" sierra say being a fucking child

i slap the back of her head before listening to billie's calm ass voice "hi baby"

"i got my nails done,they're so pretty" i say

"send me a picture" she demands

"no" i say

"please! i'll do anything" she begs

"ugh fine,only because you're like cute or something" i smile

"i miss you,i was thinking about promoting you. i'm going to make sure you stay in my office with me though" she say

"i'm going to scream" i say

"i want to start making porn" sierra say randomly

"what the hell" billie say

"oh! you heard that?" i ask

"very much clear" she laugh "oh um...i think you should watch out. your mom is down here"

"what do you mean by my mom is down here??!?" i ask a little too loudly

"she came to my office trying to down you and shit. i kicked her out cause i'll be damned if i let her talk about you like that. i fucking hate her" she say

"what the fuck is her problem? she disowned me so that's that. why she's trying so desperately to make my life even more hell" i say
