"Sir, we have a few parties next week, not forgetting, but most importantly, the premiere of your film will be held next Thursday night and the international press would be there, especially with the Academy Awards in a month, your movie will starts attracting eyes for next year-"

"Wow, wow, wow, Ruby!" my boss, the famous actor (though he doesn't act anymore), director and producer Tristan McLean, stopped me with a smile. It was only then when I realized I was ranting away.

"I'm so sorry, sir! I didn't realize I was doing it again!" I apologized, totally embarrassed. Urgh, why this things happen to me?! Mr. McLean just chuckled and waved his hand in a 'forget about it' way.

"Now, you said I have a movie premiere next Thursday night?" he checked with me. I read again my list and nodded, confirming it "Can you make two more extra invites?" I wrote it down.

"Very well, sir... Who would be the tickets for?" I wondered. I just been working a few months with Mr. McLean and I wasn't familiar with his choice of guests "Another celebrity? Actor? Director?"

"If for another celebrity, you're referring to my daughter and my son-in-law" he told me. I frowned, but wrote it down. Didn't know he had a daughter... "They normally use my movie nights to have dates" he smiled at me. I nodded, promising to myself to check the notes my processor (who is on maternity leave for the moment) left me.

"I'll deal with it myself, sir" I promised, before launching myself again into a ranting of what to do next week.

~oOo~

"Mr. McLean's office" I answered the phone, writing with my hands and watching the computer screen.

"Who are you?" I heard from the other side of the phone, as if someone would be attacking me "Where's Mellie?"

"Mrs. Hedge is on her maternity leave and-"

"Mellie had the baby?!" the person, a woman by the voice, squealed on the other side of the line "Why no one told me? Pass me my dad!"

"Your dad? Miss, I don't know what are you talking about-" While I was about to tell this girl who I think she was and gave her a piece of my mind for interrupting my boss' day, Mr. McLean comes in and stares at me. I placed a hand on the speaker and look at him "There's an unidentified woman, claiming she's your daughter" He nodded and answered the phone.

"Hello? Pipes, dear!" I watched, wary, but let my boss have a conversation with the woman in his office. I was having a serious disliking on her from the start. OK, she was the daughter of my boss, but I didn't know that! She can't be talking to me like that, as if I wouldn't have professionalism. Fuming, I continued my work around the office, leaving Mr. McLean with his call.

~oOo~

Next Thursday came around and I was suppose to take some dresses and suits for Mr. McLean's daughter and son-in-law. Though my boss admitted that they could afford to buy a few new clothes, he also admitted that if the brands didn't make any publicity of their products, he'd not get the support necessary for his next film. So, this is me, dragging a coat stand with several dresses and suits, ready to be try out.

"Good afternoon, Mr. McLean" I greeted him, smiling as always. It didn't matter if I was in a bad mood or the work was too hard, Mr. McLean could made you smile always.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Adams" he teased me with the formal greeting "Alright, it's been a slightly change of plans" he announced me. I don't think it could be serious if he didn't mention it before "My son-in-law, unfortunately, had been dragged to Washington for a air demonstration or something and my daughter came with a friend" I nodded, watching the dresses.

"I brought enough to choose from" I reassured him, smiling. He smiled back.

"Good enough! And lucky enough my Pipes and Hazel are the same size!" he chuckled and I nodded "Too bad Jason couldn't come... I was hoping to talk to him

"You can talk to your son-in-law when you see him this weekend" A voice came from the door and I saw two women stepping inside. How did they got in? One must have the key, which makes sense if one is Mr. McLean's daughter "Dad!" The first woman, with toasted skin and braided hair launched at my boss, greeting him with a hug and a kiss.

"Pipes! Good to see you!" he hugged her back and kissed her cheek, smiling "Hazel? It's been a while since I last saw you..." The other woman smiled shyly and walked to him, greeting him the same way. She had brown chocolate skin and a frizzy curly cinnamon mane.

"It's been a while, Mr. McLean..." she agreed "College had kept me busy..."

"No doubt, no doubt" he made her blush, nodding "Don't worry, we'll catch up in the car, as you and Pipes here, need to change"

"Dad, we brought our clothes" his daughter argued, raising a little duffle bag.

"I know, sweetie... But one of you must wear this dresses or the sponsors will have my head!" he dramatized, making the women chuckle.

"Piper, you should wear one of these... You'd look great" Hazel pushed the stand towards her to choose "Besides, the colors would contrast with my skin and that's the last thing we want, right?" They all chuckled and parted to get ready for the premiere. But, there's one thing I heard before the women left.

"You knew that Mellie was pregnant, again? And she told nobody?!"

Hello, boys and girls!!

First of all, as you could saw through the week, I'm back from holidays/vacations (depend how you call it in your native countries). I must say that I had to keep up all week and I still have a little of residual procrastination on my sistem. That's why I've updating this story all week until I reach the normal number! Also, I decided to not do my usual announcements anymore and here's why:

I wanna create a website.

You know, a site where I can talk to you guys and you can comment and leave your ideas or anything. With a place where you can also learn about me. Where I can show you my plans for my stories (or, allow you to download them, if they're finish). Like here, but combining Tumblr and other sites as well. The problem lays on my zero (literally, zero. I still don't know how I passed that class) skill on computers. I don't know how to program and, no offense, I don't plan to pay monthly for a website. So, I'd like your opinions of free websites with great templates and THAT IS NOT WORDPRESS (nothing against them, but I want a little more different website than the normal blog type)

If you could help me with that, I'll try to have it up on April, so... yeah, that's it.

I see you around the week!!
