Hollywood Zenith

" I am afraid I have to rush back home. My mom had been pestering me because I spent new years away from home. I also need to meet up with the actual producer of the album and listen to his thought as soon as possible. There is not much time left until the album release."

" Why didn\'t you tell me? I could have dropped you off directly?" Samuel didn\'t hear about her ever mentioning it. They barely entered the Estate and she was already thinking about leaving.

" I wanted to tell you but sadly you were too busy doting on your little maid to listen."

" What? What\'s that got to do with this?"

" So, you are not denying it?" Adele stared at him looking at him glancing back from the back mirror. Samuel almost choked because he didn\'t know that she too was jealous, he thought it was only something Kate cared about!

" hehehe, I am just joking. I just talked to my mom this morning. I am afraid if I don\'t go there immediately I will be stranded at your place spending another day there to rest. It\'s better to head home as soon as possible." She said with a conflicting emotion on her face. Not because she feared separation but because it was simply too comfortable living in his home.

She didn\'t have to care about anything, just laze around and eat all day. It wasn\'t good for her mental health to destress so much since she would be handling a lot of it in few weeks. It\'s better to just work and after finishing it she could come back to have some fun.

" Fine, I will ask someone to drive you home. Also when you meet Russell tell him about the plan that we discussed, the signing of mysterious singer, El."

" Okay."

" Since we are on this topic, I am also thinking about leaving. The bar has been closed for almost a week. People would start to wonder if it closed for good because of the earlier disturbance." Suddenly Kate also showed her desire to leave.

" But I haven\'t deal with that scoundrel yet. Can\'t you wait few more days?" Samuel hurriedly made excuses. He was busy enjoying vacation before dealing with the Green family. They wouldn\'t dare make trouble at her place but he was leveraging it as a issue, hoping she would stay for couple more days.

" I can handle it. Since you have given your word that you will back me up, I am willing to beat up those pesky bastards if they ever dare to come back. Just send some top quality lawyers if few of my staff gets arrested in the future." She waved her hand completely disregarding his worries.

By now, she had figured out how Samuel operates. He would appear aloof on the surface but under it he was a meticulous person. There was no chance that her bar would get hijacked again, she was sure of it.

It was also not good for her to close her place for prolonged period of time. Even when staff got a generous end of the year bonus because of him, they would start to get restless sitting at home. The holiday season was something for her to capitalize upon!

" Alright." he didn\'t have anything to refute her request. The only reason why he brought her home was to not let her alone during christmas, he already extended her stay by a week it would be like forcing her if he asked her to stay longer.

" Beside, I have to show Bella how much fun I had during this past week. Since she doesn\'t have a smartphone yet, I can only show it to her in person!" Samuel felt like this was the actual reason why she wanted to hurry back. Was it really that enjoyable to tease her friend? He thought but immediately realize that he was the biggest prankster among all of them!

" Isn\'t it time for an upgrade? In future everything would revolve around it."

" She is a bit of a cheapskate. It\'s something that runs in her family so don\'t worry about it. I bet when I show these beautiful picture she will grit her teeth and buy it herself!" Kate said along with a hearty laugh.

" Just pictures? I happen to know that you took more than just pictures with your phone." Adele said with a snicker.

" h-how do you know?" Kate was frightened that she knew about the videos. As far as she knew only Samuel was aware what shenanigans they did while being drunk. She was under the impression that Adele was too disoriented to know what really happened that night.

" What? Do you think I was sleeping? I heard everything and even copied it to my phone as evidence. I have to admit that the cool and refined businesswoman really turn into a raging slut when in front of a camera."

" What? Delete it!" Kate almost lunged at her but since Nicole was sitting in the middle she wasn\'t able to snatch her phone.

" Vidoes?" Nicole asked giving her famous innocent slight tilted head look. She was a airhead when they would talk about these stuff, she was just too pure to catch double meaning behind their words. That\'s what made her cute!

" Nothing! Don\'t think about it. She is talking nonsense." Kate knew it flew over Nicole\'s head and she wanted to keep it that way after all she was the big sister, what type of image would it portray if she ever see her saying such compromising phrases!

" Hahahaha." Adele on the other hand laughed out loud thinking that it was her victory.

" Don\'t worry, if she ever bully you with it I will send you some of their secret material to even up the playing field." That\'s when Samuel added immediately leaving Adele with a panicked expression. She fully knew what they and Iblis did few weeks ago, what\'s concerning was that it was not much worse than what she had on Kate!
