Genie looked at Hebe with an irritated look while Hebe giggled at Genie’s expression. Genie got up and excused herself to go the washroom and before leaving the table, she dragged Hebe with her.
“I knew I shouldn’t have come!” Genie shouted out in frustration as soon as the doors to the washroom were closed. Genie leaned against the washroom sink and rolled her eyes. “They’re so annoying.” She pouted as she blew her hair out of the way.
Hebe gave a cheeky grin. “You always knew I loved you.”
Genie turned to glare at her but eventually gave up and smiled. “I hate you Bee.”
Hebe chuckled. “But maybe it’s a good opportunity for you to find someone…” She trailed off with a smirk while Genie felt herself reddening but rolled her eyes.
“Mmhm, I’m too busy for that.” She scoffed at the idea Hebe suggested. Before Hebe can retort, her phone vibrated in her pocket and let out a musical tone and when she took it out to see who it was she made a face. Genie giggled at her. “Is it prince charming waiting for you outside?” She asked. Hebe stuck her tongue out at Genie in response and Genie knew she was right already. “Let’s go then.” Genie chuckled as they exited the washroom together, only to find a couple walking in front of them and the four of them bumped into one another.
“Eekk!” A sharp tone shrieked out loud as soon as they bumped into each other. “My dress!!” She said as she looked up and glared at Hebe and Genie. “Look at this rip!” She said as she showed a barely visible rip to the girls and the guy beside her. The guy seemed to be uninterested in the topic and instead stuffed his hands in his pocket and nodded along as he too, brushed off his own tux.
Genie rolled her eyes. “Um excuse me miss but your dress isn’t even designer and don’t ask me how I know because I just do. Judging by the cutting and lining of your dress, it’s probably done by someone who’s quite talented with designing clothes. It’s a pity she has to copy designer’s clothes though.” Genie commented bluntly as she looked at the girl square in the eye.
The girl scoffed and looked at the guy beside her. “Ugh, aren’t you going to say something?!” She asked him in a whiny tone.
The guy shook his head and sighed. “Let’s just go.” He said as he walked off, leaving her behind still glaring at Genie and Hebe.
Hebe remained quiet the whole time as Genie talked back to the girl. “Genie, next time just leave it.” She said as they continued their way back to the table.
When they reached the table, Aaron looked up and smiled at them, feigning gentleman-like manners in Hebe’s opinion. He got up and pulled her seat out for her to sit before tucking it in after she sat down. Genie on the other hand took a seat beside Hebe and looked around the room in with bored expression on her face. She leaned towards Hebe and whispered to her. “I still can’t believe you made me come to this. Now I’ve just wasted a night here instead of sleeping at home.” Genie complained once again.
Hebe pouted as she looked at her friend. “Aw come on, I’ll treat you to dinner or ice cream another day ok?” She offered and Genie reluctantly agreed.

After a few more minutes, a few guys came towards the table and started to talk to Aaron and judging by the way they were talking they seemed to be close friends.
One particular guy was staring at Hebe and Genie with a slight frown, as if to remember something. Aaron noticed his stare and decided it was time to introduce ‘her’. He had told them all about her but they had never met her yet.
“Oh this is Hebe by the way and that’s her friend…” Aaron trailed off, waiting for Hebe to continue.
“Genie.” Hebe ended for him as if reading his mind. Hebe nudged Genie a little to let her know that she was being introduced to some people. Genie looked up and gave a smile at them politely.
The guys all nodded their heads in acknowledgement and quickly sat down at the table when the lights started to dim as a notification.

Later on that night Aaron was hanging out in the club with his friends in their usual VIP room.
“So she seems like a nice girl man.” Jiro said with a small smirk on his face. “You lucky bastard. A girlfriend in hand and another fake one equally as good.” Aaron shrugged not knowing what to say. The thing was it was true and he didn’t have anything to say about it either.
Calvin smiled. “Her friend is good though.” He commented and all the guys turned to look at him with questioning faces. “Well I bumped into her and Hebe along with my partner that evening and with one look she can figure out that she was wearing a fake brand that copied the designer one. That’s impressive I think.” He said feeling slightly impressed by her ability to distinguish between real and fake.
The other guys all looked at Calvin with their eyebrows raised. “Are you interested in her?” The all asked in unison as Calvin immediately denied by shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
“I’m just impressed that’s all.” Calvin tried to cover up for what he had blurted out earlier.
“Yeah usually a guy who is impressed with a girl will end up going after her.” Chun said matter-of-factly. “It’s just like how a guy likes a sport.” He said with a shrug but only earned him a glare from Calvin.
Jiro and Aaron on the other hand were laughing together at Chun’s bluntness sometimes and how Calvin was getting irritated by him.

“Bee, next time I beg you not to drag me into these occasions.” Genie groaned as soon as they entered their flat and she ran to the couch exhausted. “I don’t think I even have the energy to go to my room to sleep anymore.” She said as she laid her head on the comfy cushion and the weight of her eyelids was wining over her will power to keep awake.
Hebe chuckled as she threw her a blanket from the other couch. “Here, get a blanket in case you get cold. I’m going to sleep in my own comfy bed. I’ll talk to you tomorrow then. Night.” She said as she continued her way down the hall to her own room.

Genie woke up the next day feeling sore all over. When she arrived at work, she realized that there was a sudden urgent job that required her to take over. Apparently the corporation originally booked that morning decided to switch locations at last minute which she had to rush to.
When she entered the studio, she greeted her coworkers. She and a bunch of her friends that she met from university decided to make a small company that helped people make advertising and do photo shoots and she was the makeup artist for both female and male while there was a camera man, one for overall lightings and a few more. They had been quite successful the past few years and many big corporations and companies all want to hire them to make their advertisements or photo shoots.
As soon as she entered the big studio, she saw a familiar figure with the back facing her. She walked cautiously up there hoping to find out who it was but her co-worker had already blurted out her name loud.
“Yo Gene, you took longer than usual today.” Danson hollered out with a wave in the air.
Genie blinked a few times as everyone turned to greet her and she gave a small and embarrassed smile. “Don’t even mention it. Had a rough night yesterday.” She said as she went over to the table to drop off her bags. When she looked up, she saw a reflection in the mirror that scared her. “AH!!” She jumped back a few steps but only ended up bumping into the person.
The person caught her just in time and gave her a small smirk. “Why hello there.” The greeting was so formal that it did not match his smirk and gave Genie shivers down her spine instead.
She frowned as she got out of his arm. “What are you doing here?!” She asked with her eyes narrowed slightly.
“I’m here to do a photo shoot for my company’s newest perfume?” He said in a question-like manner as if asking for her permission.
Genie narrowed her eyes even more when she realized he was the so-called “boss” that changed the location last minute. “Oh so it’s you who made us all change locations last minute.” She said while rolling her eyes and turned back to face the mirror to take out her makeup kit and hair accessories.

Hebe was at work and when she entered the floor of her office, she noticed people looking up at her and smiling at her. She frowned a little and when she reached her desk, she saw a small envelope addressed to her. She put her bag down, sat down on her seat and took out the letter inside and started to read it. When she skimmed to the end, she gasped and her eyes widened in shock. “No way…” She gasped quietly to herself.
Everyone by then was all gathered around her desk. “Congratulations Hebe!” They all cheered for her proudly.
Hebe gave a cheeky smile. “Aww thanks!!” She said as her co-workers all took turns giving her hugs. “I still can’t believe I got promoted so fast…” She said as she stared at the letter again, making sure she wasn’t dreaming.
“Yeah I know, you got promoted even faster than I did.” An ice cold voice interrupted and tension came along with the voice and flooded the cheerful atmosphere. She gave a cough as she approached Hebe’s desk which by then, everyone had left to go back to their desks.
Hebe gave a polite smile. “Thank you.” She said.
Alice leaned towards Hebe over her desk to whisper in her ear. “I’ll be watching you back… both in work and personally. It doesn’t matter because I will win in the end anyways.” She said giving Hebe one last long look before walking back to her own office.
Everyone gathered all around Hebe’s desk as soon as the door to her office slammed shut, wondering what had happened just then. But by now, Hebe was not paying attention to what everyone was saying anymore. Her mind keeps drifting back to what Alice had said to her and she wondered what she meant by she will keep an eye on her ‘personally’?
