Chapter 1 Ivy

Waking up after her beauty sleep of eight hours and yawning lazily on her soft bed. Ivy got down from her bed and walked to her bathroom lazily. When she remembered she was having an interview today, she took a quick bath and rushed out of her bathroom with her hair towel to dry her hair.

She looks so adorable in her bathrobe and her bunny bathroom slippers.

She faced her mirror humming her favorite BTS song "Yet To Come" as she rubbed her body with a lotion.

She moved hastily to her closet flinging her towel on her bed, dancing and swaying her waist to the rhythm of the song in her mind.

'Ivy cutie, you are such a clumsy little bitch!'. She said to herself as she searched her closet happily without checking where she threw her towel.

'Ohh my, I just called myself a bitch again' she laughed hysterically.

' I'm so silly at times.'

'Yup!! I found you pretty buddy!!'.

She exclaimed happily grinning from ear to ear when she found her favorite dress.

A pink short flay gown with a white beret.

She wore the dress carefully, truth be told she is extremely pretty, wearing white Nike sneakers to match and she tied her hair in a bun hurriedly.

Ivy is a very pretty girl. Long brown hair, she has a straight beautiful neck with a butterfly tattoo on her collar bone. She is petite. And so fashionable too.

In a flash, she is already in front of her mirror, she checked herself out turned around in front of the mirror, and smiled satisfactorily admiring herself.

She bowed down to the mirror dramatically and talked to it as if she is facing those that will interview her. She smiled satisfactorily.

'Thumbs up Ivy!! Now let's see if you won't win the interview with just a pretty smile from you!' She exclaimed happily and blew the mirror a kiss.

She walked hastily to the living room after checking the time.

'Just one hour thirty minutes to go'.

Ivy is a twenty-three-year-old university graduate. Her parents died when she was just eighteen years old.

Since then she has been living with her paternal grandparents.

To help her grandparents, she started working in a delivery store as a per-time worker.

It's not easy to get a job nowadays and Ivy is not a lazy girl. She is always very ambitious and ready to work.

"Gramps! Good morning". She said as she sighted her grandfather on his favorite sofa, she greeted cheerfully and hugged him tightly.

Being the only child of the only son of her grandparents. Ivy was always favored by her grandparents. She is the only family they have.

"Xiao! How was your night?" Her seventy-nine years old grandfather asked as he smiled softly.

The old man is very agile even though he is old.

Ivy is always a proud grandchild when she looks at her healthy grandparents.

Her grandfather loves calling her that name (Xu Xiao) telling her she resembles his late mother.

Ivy is used to her grandparents calling her her Chinese name Xu Xiao. They already told her they preferred her Chinese name to her English name.

"And my darling daughter looks so bright today, any special event this pretty woman here doesn't know about?" Grandma Xu asked coming from their kitchen.

Grandma Xu wasn't left out.

She is so beautiful, no wonder she stole her handsome grandfather's heart.

Ivy guessed she got her beauty from her grandparents, not her parents.

Her grandmother was holding some steamed buns on a Chinese plate and some ginger tea. Her grandmother looks pretty. She is just sixty-nine years old but looking at her she looks like a fifty-year-old woman.

Ivy collected the plates from her grandmother's hand and placed them gently on the dining table.

"When I told you guys you are old, you won't accept the fact that you are. Have you forgotten that the Spring entertainment Industry would be having an interview for some new employees to be the devil C. E. O secretary?" She asked folding her arms cutely and almost rolling her eyes.

"Ohhh! My old self. I forgot already". Grandpa Xu said smiling.

" Are you late already? Eat some steamed buns before you leave"

"Darling, come and watch this interesting TV program organized by Ancient Tv Blog News these youngsters have taken over everything in this country, you see, any woman that marries this handsome young man they are talking about, she is lucky to marry the most successful man in the world. At least even my little Xaio can be lucky". Grandpa Xu said dreamily nodding his head profusely as he agreed to what he said himself.

"Uhhhh!!" Ivy spat out what she was eating as she almost got choked on the ginger tea she was drinking.

"Pa, what if he is not my type of man? You know rich men like him would want to go for rich girls like him. Who knows if he is even a Cassanova or a playboy with just a cute face to steal innocent girl's hearts"

" And cute guys are my weakness". She murmured to herself.

She replied to her grandfather without even bothering to check whom they are talking about, she stuffed a steamed bun in her mouth and drank some cold Rio.

"I don't want to be late. I am full. Can I

have some candies I can use as a comforter?" She asked with a puppy face as she stood up.

"You finished yours? Grandma Xu asked as she sat beside her husband.

"I didn't know when I finished it." She pouted.

"Well, I finished mine too".

" OPPS! I forgot my phone, I'm coming". She rushed upstairs to her room and hastily took her phone.

She rushed downstairs again and bade her grandparents goodbye with a kiss.

"Alright, be careful on your way, and don't be late".

"Okay pa, take care and drink your medicine".

She rushed downstairs without waiting for their reply, she board a yellow taxi to Spring entertainment industry and sighed heavily.

"I hope it's not a long day"

Sigh!!

"Oh my stars! Make me lucky. I heard top artists are coming for the interview. And I'm very sure they are there because of the handsome C. E. O".

At least I would be able to see what the entertainment industry looks like and I may be opportune to meet my celebrity crush. She said to herself in a comforting manner patting her chest as a way of calming down.

The middle-aged driver made the journey more boring with the sm ok school songs he was playing.

"Can you reduce the volume please?"

The middle-aged driver looked at her from the front mirror as he nodded.

She dialed her best friend's number happily.

"Hello, bestie!" A cheerful voice replied from the other end.

"How are you doing?"

"I'm as bright as ever. I will be back in Country V as soon as I finish my tour. This place is lit. Ohh! I remembered! My bad! Someone is nervous. Don't worry! He won't bite, just be calm as ever and smile prettily. You know when we were in the university, you charm the school's most handsome dude with just your smile and you got him chasing you for good three years and still refused him (Ivy rolled her eyes) ( the pain of having a talkative best friend) and-

"Pearl! Can you just keep your mouth shut?! Huh?! Must you talk? I wonder what your fans would think when they know their idol is talkative.

"Hmph! I don't care. In as long as my best friend doesn't mind. Alright baby! Remember I got your back. Bye. I have to go".

Ivy sighed and checked outside the car window. Spring entertainment industry stood tall among all other companies. It's known for producing top artists in the entertainment industry and her best friend is one of them.

The car tire screeched when they got to the front of the company.

Ivy paid and rushed to the company.

"Ohh Buddha!! Have mercy.

On getting to the entrance of the company, Ivy found all her confidence and concluded in her heart that she must get a job there.

She walked calmly to one of the elevators and entered it.

When she entered the company. She noticed some staff was staring at her and when she felt awkward she entered the elevator that looks empty.

She noticed the astonished look some staff was giving before she entered, or does she look like one of the least actresses in this company? Who cares?.

Ivy entered the elevator and froze.
