"I said we have a meeting with a publicist later, if you're not feeling well we can schedule it some other time." Mina said looking concern at Serena's eyes.
"Oh! No, I'm fine...sorry to make you worry." She said with light smile on her lips.
"It's ok, I know this is hard for you, you've barely have time for yourself, and I understand if you don't want to go to these stupid meetings..."Mina said hugging her.
"Thank you...you're my best friend ever!" Serena said with a tear in her eyes. "Look at us, we're doing our monologues, you know we can be nominated for the Academy," she said as wiping out the tears in her eyes, as Mina giggled at the comment.
"It's kinda cold we better bring a coat with us...I love Christmas..." Mina said.
"So, you ready for dinner?" Andrew said as he leaned against the doorframe.
Darien looked up, "Ah yes! 'The dinner'...yup I'll be ready in a sec..." he said as he slouched.
"You sure? I mean no offense man, but as your friend I don't think you should go...you look grouchy..." his assistant said.
"I know but I have to do this...I'll lose my job if I won't do this thing...and I don't want that...I just love my work so much..."looking up at his friend.
"You're telling me, you don't even go to dig the chicks out there! I mean, even Rei whose flirting with you all the time...you didn't even cringed." Andrew said as he sat in front of him.
"Really? Rei?! I only see her as an officemate, nothing more..." Darien said as he stood up and fixes himself up.
"I know she's not you're type...but you know, you really and I mean desperately need a girl in your life.."
"Me?! Look who's talking! I mean tell me Drew, since when you became a lover boy? Giving me advices on girls, that you my friend is also like me who doesn't have a girlfriend for about a century." Darien said as he combs his hair.
"Well, not like you I don't go and lock my self in a room with a phone talking every damned day of my life...I, to tell you, have a happy social life..." Andrew said as he looks at Darien.
"You, a 'happy social life'? Oh! You mean those hook-ups in those filthy bars you visit often when you can't watch porn cause your mom's there with you?" Darien smirked at his friend.
"Ha! Ha! Funny! No! Well, I just met a beautiful girl that fits my taste..."he said.
"You have a taste?" Darien said mockingly.
Andrew glared at Darien. "Anyway, as I said I met a girl and that's why we are having a dinner with the new model..."
"What do you mean?" Darien looked at Andrew.
"Well the girl that I'm telling you 'bout is the manager of our new model...her name is Mina, and I kinda forgot the name of her apprentice though..." Andrew said thinking of the name.
"Oh...so, you wanted this meeting just to meet her...nice..."he said.
"Sort of, and besides this is also business..." Andrew started to go the door.
"Yeah, business...with pleasure." Darien said as he followed his friend.
"And that, come on before the snow started to fall it's slippery to drive you know." He said getting the keys of his car in his pocket.
Meanwhile...in the car of Serena and Mina...
"So by the way Mina, how did you get this 'meeting with a publicist' add to our schedule?" Serena said looking at her friend sited beside her.
"Well, I met his assistant Andrew when I was at a bar..."Mina said looking at the window.
"You went to a bar? And without me, when did this happened?" She asked confusingly.
"Oh, that was the time when you were so tired I went out while you were sleeping...that was about 2 weeks ago, I think...Anyways, he came to me and bought me a drink and we talked 'bout work and all...until he proposed that we should have a meeting with his boss slash friend...what was his name? Uhh... Ah!I forgot anyway, we should meet them tonight." Mina finished and looked at Serena.
"And you didn't told me this?" She said.
"I told you now, don't be mad...besides, it's purely business." Mina held Serena's hand.
"It's ok, it's just...anyway, is he cute?" She asked.
"Rena! I don't know...I mean he was not that bad...yeah, he's cute alright." Mina said picturing him in her mind.
"And this is all business right?" Serena said mockingly at her friend.
"Of course. What else? "Mina looked again at the window.
"Oh nothing, I just thought you said yes because he's cute and all..."Serena said as she looked at her window.
"Rena!" Mina glared at her.
