is.”
    “I know but you know I had to ask again. You know I hate going to this shit alone and you’re always way to busy to kick it with me.”
    “Girl, you always end up seeing somebody you know or some guy be up under you all night so you’ll be fine. I would love to chat but work calls.”
    “No problem, see you tonight.”
    When I got off the phone with Diamond, I motioned for Tammy to come on. She could make her calls while on the move. This business taught you to do multiple things. While Tammy was handling press calls I was speaking to artist’s managers on one phone and responding to text messages about the event on the other. This event was a major deal for Darcy and everything had to go smoothly. She was used to doing events for rappers and singers, but this was the first time she had scored an A list actress. Mega superstar Tyler Blake was hosting a star-studded charity event for Autism Awareness Month. Darcy bragged for two weeks straight when the gig was sealed and I was right there cheering her on. See, after grinding my ass off for over a year my hard work had finally paid off. I played an intricate part in securing the deal for Darcy and she promised me a commission for doing so. All I had to do was make sure the event went smoothly and I was micromanaging every detail to make sure that happened.
    “Can you take us to the Soho House on Ninth Avenue,” I directed the driver when we got in the cab.
    “All the press has been confirmed. None of them seem to have any intentions on missing this event.”
    “Yeah, this is definitely the biggest gig Darcy has ever had. I haven’t had so many calls from managers and agents trying to get their clients on the guest list. I had to explain to them that the tables have all been sold out for weeks. It’s literally standing room only and that’s full to capacity. Unless it’s President Obama, I can’t get anybody else in.”
    “Darcy, will be pleased to know that.”
    “You know it! She lives to be able to tell people they can’t get in,” I laughed.
    “So what do you need for me to do when we get to the venue?”
    “The first thing is making sure the table placement is correct. I made sure to sit certain celebs next to each other and keep others away. We don’t need any drama.”
    “I got you.”
    After paying the cab we headed inside to the 4th floor where the private ballroom booked for the event was located. When we stepped off the elevator the craziness was in full effect. There were workers everywhere putting the final touches on the décor and making sure security was extra tight.
    “Let’s go check on the tables.”
    “Kennedy, the layout is gorgeous,” Tammy commented as we walked into the room. “You totally made the right choice with the peach and cream colors. It’s beautiful.”
    “It did turn out even better than I thought it would.”
    “Is Darcy here, I know she must love it.”
    “No, she sent me a text. She’s doing the red carpet so she won’t be here until the event is about to start.”
    “Luckily she has you to oversee everything. You basically put this entire event together yourself.”
    “Thanks, but luckily I have you. You’ve helped me out tremendously. So let’s get to it because I have a feeling this will be a night we’ll never forget.” I didn’t give a damn what I had to do I wanted to make sure this event went off without a glitch. Yes, this was Darcy’s company and she was the boss, but one day I knew I would be a boss too and everything I did was preparing me for that.

    “ Is that what you’re planning on wearing tonight?” When Michael asked me the question I just stood there for a second and didn’t say anything.
    “Yes, why you don’t like it?”
    “Out of all the clothes I’ve bought you, that’s the best you could come up with? You need to go find something a little more sophisticated to put on.” I looked down at the short lavender dress I had on. I spent all day yesterday
