"About the job, I don't really know much about the job description but I know that it will definitely pay well. You remember Betty White, our classmate in high school who now works as an assistant to a top model in the country? I met her by coincidence in a mall yesterday and she briefly mentioned the job. She did not also say much and just said that her boss needed a lady urgently for a particular job and she was going to pay well. They can't go public about the job for some reason. Anyway, that is not the case now, I was able to get the contact address of the person we can talk to. I really hope you can take this job, so I already helped you to book an appointment with them for tomorrow. I will send you the details too" Paige carefully said.

She secretly lowered her eyes and stole a glance at her friend to see what her emotions were like but as usual, Serene's face remained calm and expressionless. There was only a tint of redness on her cheeks that was caused by the alcohol she drank.

For a moment, Serene said nothing, her lashes lowered and covered the helplessness in her eyes. She pinched her glass between her fingers before she finally stretched out her hand and spread open her palm before Paige.

"..." Paidlge stared at the opened palm before her in confusion and she raised her brow, "what?" she questioned softly.

"The contact" Serene gave a quiet curt response.

"Ah!" Paige immediately understood what he lr best friend meant, she rattled her head and hurriedly reached out for her imitation Chanel purse that was beside her. She searched through it and took out a small piece of paper that she gave to Serene.

"Here, the contact of the person that I got. I already spoke to him and booked an appointment for you tomorrow, keep it well. I will also send the address of where you are going to meet them tomorrow to you now" Paige voiced.

Serene took the paper with a word of thanks, she pinched it between her fingers before hiding it away in her pocket. At that money also, her cell phone vibrated. She took it out and glanced at the new message she just got from Paige. It was the address of the place she would meet the person for the job. She read through the message in a single glance and put her cell phone away.

"That is it, you should try to message the person today or call him so that he can recognize you before tomorrow. I just hope you get the job this time" Paige uttered and sighed.

Serene smiled and nodded. "Sure, thanks" she muttered.

Paige rolled her eyes and glared at her friend, "what is there to thank me about? You are my best friend, remember? I am only doing what I should and I haven't even done enough for you. But, what can I do? I am helpless myself and I am only stuck at being a third-rate actress with almost no future. Since my parents disowned me after the abortion I got in high school..." Paige paused and sighed while Serene looked at her and pressed her lips together.

A hint of bitterness flashed through Paige's eyes but it disappeared as quickly as it came. A mocking smile spread on her face.

"You know, I was young and stupid then but, to keep up with their impeccable history, and help promote my father's political ambitions, my parents threw me out of the house over a single mistake. Who would have expected that a Minister's daughter is struggling with being an actress in the entertainment industry" She sighed and then looked up only to meet Serene's sympathetic gaze. Then, she realized what she had done.

"Gosh! Look at me, spewing rubbish before you when you have your life to face. Don't mind me, I was just talking rubbish, none of this is true. I am just a poor girl like you" She hurriedly said and forced a laugh.

Serene arched and brow and shook her head, she pushed her glass aside and turned to her friend.

"There is no need to hide, Paige, I have always known about you... This is not the first time you are saying this" she said and Paige gasped almost falling off her seat.

"You... you know?!" She voiced and Serene nodded. Paige did not want to believe but Serene had never lied to her. She thought she had hidden it well since they were in high school. At the time when she first met Serene, she had just transferred to the school in her senior year after her incident with her parent happened. They had sent her far away from home to a tiny school in the city after they disowned her. To avoid embarrassment, she never mentioned herself or her family to anyone. She would not even make the mistake of mentioning that her family was influential!

"How..." She murmured.

Serene looked at her calmly and opened her mouth, "the time we were bullied in a school gathering, you were so pained that you drank a lot, when we got back to the dormitory, you wanted about this for a whole night" She simply explained.

The memories from that night were still fresh in her head, Paige had cried very much that day until she no longer could console her. She said a lot about her family, her brothers, and how much she missed them. She even should her some pictures in her diary. But, since she knew that this was a scar that Paige never wanted to talk about, she also acted like she did not know a thing until now.

"You... forget it, it is nothing now... am I not living well? I have forgotten all about them and it is in the past. I don't need any family now that I have you. We've got each other's back, right?" Paige asked.

Serene did not dispute Paige words, she merely nodded and answered, "Yes".

"It is getting late, it would be hard to get a cab to your district if you stay any longer, you should get going, a friend will pick me up later" Paige uttered.

Serene looked at the time on her phone and nodded before standing up.

"Call me when you return from the meeting tomorrow, okay?"

"Yeah"

The girls hugged lightly before Serene left the Club, she flagged down a cab and returned home.

    After Serene and Paige had separated ways, the words of Paige kept on resonating in Serene's head, no matter how hard she tried, she could not just stop thinking about it. A soft sigh slipped past her lips and she pinched the space between her brows in exasperation. She pressed her back against the seat of the car and closed her eyes. "Miss, we are at your stop" after a while, the voice of the driver reached her eyes and she opened her eyes. "Oh, thanks" Serene mumbled gently and got out of the car. She paid her fare before turning around and walking away. It was a good thing that the area Steve bought his apartment was a private residential area, if not, she may have been noticed by someone each time she went out but because of the privacy of the area, she could move around easily as much as she wanted without having fear of her identity being discovered. Serene walked to the door and opened it, she entered the door and closed the door behind her. Just as she did, she heard a voic

    "Are you hiding something from me?" Paige asked after a moment of silence. Serene did not raise her head to look at her, she tightened her fingers around her cup and shook her head. "What can I be hiding from you?" She mumbled. "Rene… I know you" Paige uttered with a soft sigh. Serene raised her head and arched her brows. She was only quiet for a moment before she opened her mouth to talk again. "You are not allowed to lie to me" Paige suddenly pointed and said. Serene arched a brow before she helplessly closed the mouth that she opened. She fell speechless. Paige sighed softly and pushed her cup aside, she leaned across the table and faced her best friend. "Rene, did anything happen lately?" Paige asked. Serene lowered her eyes and did not answer immediately, she could not help but think about the question Paige asked her. Did anything happen? Yes, something did happen and it had been making her filled her mind with uneasiness. The man… Steve, he has been treating her diffe

    Laughter filled her ears as soon as she walked into the ward and she arched a surprising brow. She looked in the direction of the bed, she saw her brother was sitting straight and Paige was sitting on a chair close to him. She had no idea what Paige must have said to her brother that made him have such a beautiful smile on his face. The smile was gentle and it brightened his dull face. This scene that she saw when she walked in melted her heart. "Sister" Jordan said as soon as noticed Serene's presence. Serene smiled when she heard her brother's voice and she hurried towards him. "How are you doing?" Serene asked. "I am very well, look at me, I feel so good already" Jordan answered. "Mm" Serene nodded, "that is good". "How are you doing, bestie? I thought it would still take a while before you arrive and I was keeping your brother's company" Paige uttered with a smile. Serene returned her smile and said, "thank you" "Ah, it is nothing, I was just telling Jordan about the new j

    "Where were you last night? I saw that you called me but I was busy and only saw the call this morning, did something happen?" Amelia asked. In the past, it was always her who called Serene first and because she had instructed Serene to only call her if something happened, she assumed that it was the case when she saw Serene's missed call. Serene's body stilled when she heard the question. She remembered calling Amelia once out of panic when she got the summon from the old chairman. She had even forgotten about this. And after the event of the day before, she did not even remember about the model at all. To think that she even slept with her 'husband' again, she felt a jolt in her heart. "Hey, are you listening to me?" Amelia's voice rang into her ear again. She blinked and pushed back her thoughts. "Mm, I was called over by the old chairman yesterday, I was at his place" she answered truthfully. "You went to see the old chairman? Is it just you or did Steve go with you?" The lady
