It's 4am when Leroy's alarm goes off, he slips out of the bed before putting naked before putting on a black robe, then makes his way quietly out of the bedroom to his at home office. Leroy sinks into his leather chair, grabbing the phone he calls Lewis.
Lewis wakes with a startled yelp as he falls off his couch, he had spent the evening discussing with Dots, Shayla's contract. The phone on the table still rings so he scrambles up, answering the call.
'Lewis speaking' gruffly comes through the phone
'How's the beauty sleep?' Leroy mocks down the phone, knowing full well his just woken his assistant.
Lewis grumbles gruffly, lying on the floor, not bothering to get up from where he fell.
'Ha, I never sleep enough for beauty sleep, you'll end up killing me before I retire'
Leroy chuckles lightly before becoming serious
'Stop dallying about now, has Shayla's contract been agreed?' A 'hmm' is given in agreement.
'Good now get me Glamour's CEO on the phone!'
Leroy demands before abruptly hanging up.
Lewis pulls the phone back from his ear and gets up his contacts list, copying Glamour's contact details. He pastes the information into a text message to Leroy, before hitting send. Lewis's eyes read the time on his screen before he groans, throwing the phone down. Unfortunately he has to get up, he will be the one assisting the president and his wife to Dots's show. Leroy had asked him to arrange for a four day trip for the show and some sightseeing excursions. He makes his way into the bathroom to shower with a pile of clothes from the unsorted laundry pile, sitting precariously on the side in his hallway.
Leroy clicks the number before listening to the ringing, the call doesn't connect so he rings back. After five consecutive calls he rings again, finally the call connects, a woman's voice answering
'Hello, Tiffany Dots speaking'
'Good morning madam Dots, this is the CEO of Scope Entertainment, President Shark' the woman sighs breathily, admiring his voice. There's only a quiet sigh, so Leroy talks
'I'm calling regarding your show last night'
'Ah I see, I was actually going to call you at a more reasonable hour but as you have called first, I would like to give my sincerest thanks. I'm not sure how the director got you to host the show but it was a marvellous treat for all the guests and online viewers, however can I repay you?!' The woman gushes, causing Leroy to scrunch his face in disgust.
Leroy takes a moment before snapping,
'I appreciate your thanks madam however I am not calling for this! I want to make you aware of the disgusting conduct of your director'. The line goes eerily quiet for a moment, the woman now in complete confusion. She had thought this was the director's plan, but apparently not.
'Hm please explain President Shark, I was not aware of anything a miss'
'Right, I wouldn't have thought he would make you aware of what happened' Leroy grumbles under his breath, 'your director was unprofessional, highly rude and was knocked out, I had no choice but to step in' Leroy blurts.
Tiffany furrows her brows, she had thought the SHARK hosting the show was planned!
'You have my sincerest apologies, if you could kindly elaborate further on this then I'll be able to deal with this issue accordingly'
'The director refused to follow my newest models contract, apart from this, he was rude. She allowed this to slide the first time but after my assistant informed me on the second incident, I was furious! Any model in my industry should not be subjected to this man's behaviour! He may be a director, someone in charge, but he certainly is not above anyone else! A contract once signed is a legally binding document, it's supposed to be followed for a reason! It's bad enough his done this to a model, not just anyone's! Mine! But this model is my WIFE!' Leroy declares passionately.
Passion comes from within the heart!
'Y..y..your wife?' Tiffany blurts in astonishment. She had not heard of any announcement or gossip about the SHARK getting married!
'You heard correctly, this is not public knowledge as of yet, please keep your mouth closed from gossiping! anyway I want him fired by the end of the day! Or Glamour will be blacklisted by Scope!' Leroy demands, threateningly.
Tiffany gulps nervously, shaking her head in agreement, forgetting she's on the phone for a moment.
Glamour could get blacklisted!
'I will deal with this immediately! Please give your wife our sincerest apologies, We at Glamour do not condone such behaviour, I'm ashamed to hear this has happened, please forgive us president Shark' Tiffany pleads, worried Glamour will be blacklisted from the industry by the hands of the SHARK!
When one is frightened from the consequences they would do anything to not receive them!
'By the end of the day! Leroy snaps decisively, reminding Tiffany of the upcoming deadline.
When one sees a person they care for be treated unfairly they like to either protect them or seek justice for them!
'Of course and Your secret is safe with me' Leroy hums in acknowledgment then cuts the call abruptly, without a goodbye.
Tiffany now calls her personal assistant, grey, she doesn't care about the current ungodly hour, this is her company! She needs to act now! when he finally picks up she demands angrily,
'Fire the director for our shows! Find a new one! This needs to be done by the end of the day or Scope entertainment will blacklist Glamour!'
'W…whatever for?' He shrieks back causing Tiffany to scream at the poor man.
'Stop asking questions! Just do it! Immediately!'
When forced to make decisions, especially in business, they need to be precise and performed quickly.
Grey hears the call disconnect abruptly, he has no choice but to make a phone call to the director.
He scrolls through his contacts, finding the right one, then clicks the call button.
'Hello, Direc…' but that's all the man gets to say before Grey snaps down the phone at him
'You're fired! This comes from the top!' Grey quickly cuts the call, text's Tiffany his task is completed then rolls back into bed, snuggling into his wife's body. Thinking to himself 'why do I always have to do the dirty work? And at such an ungodly hour! Why is the CEO even up?!' Before closing his eyes. It doesn't take too long for his mind to settle, his mind goes blank and his dreams take him into slumber.
