The Businesswomen
Chapter 5: Another Day At the Salon
A few months later
Melody and her girls were taking care of Jade, getting her nails done.
Melody: Girl, have you lost your damn mind?
Sheva: I'm serious! You don't think the Lakers got what it takes against the Hawks tonight?
Melody: Sheva, I didn't say that. I'm just saying I was hoping they play a little better this season.
M. Raven: Girl, you crazy...
Jade: I suppose you're rooting for the Hawks?
Melody: Hell no. Los Angeles through and through, baby.
Cassie: Mel, you got any more red polish?
Melody: Yea.
Melody gave Cassie some more red polish.
M. Raven: So Nina called me this morning. Melody, we have a photo shoot in Jamaica this weekend. She found another woman to join us.
Sheva: Who is she?
M. Raven: Her name is Mari Jiwe McCabe of Ghana, also known as Vixen.
Melody: For real?!
Sheva: She has the powers of the entire kingdom. I met her before during our fundraiser in Nigeria, and Mel, Nina believes she'd be a worthy addition to us.
Jade: Of that I cannot wait.
M. Raven: We're going to meet her tomorrow right here, as she is currently speaking with Nina about her new position with us.
Sheva: Maybe we should invite her to watch the game tonight.
Melody: Yeah!
Cassie: I'll order us some pizza.
Tanya comes in with some coffee for the girls. She gives each one to them.
Tanya: What did I miss?
Jade: Do you know someone by the name of Vixen?
Tanya: No.
Melody: Mari McCabe of Ghana?
Tanya: WHAT?! I have a couple of her posters!
M. Raven: We're meeting her in Jamaica for a photo shoot.
Tanya: Oh?
Jade: We might invite her to watch the Lakers game tonight
Tanya: This oughta be good.
After two hours...
Jade: I'll be back later for the game tonight.
Melody: That's what's up, girl.
Jade paid and thanked the girls before leaving.
Tanya: So Cassie, what pizza are we getting?
