Hollywood Zenith

" Did you get everything?"

" Yeah, Will it be too fancy? I don\'t have clothes for that." Rosaline was a little worried. The excitement had already worn off; she was very nervous about this trip.

" I also packed a few, but I don\'t know what will happen." Liliana shared her concern. As someone related to the fashion industry, she had few fancy clothes but nothing of that calibre.

Besides, both girls had done some research on Samuel\'s mother, and they thought it was better to know, but when they found out she ran one of the world\'s largest fashion brands on the planet, they lost all confidence.

" I talked with my mother already. She said as she was a little insistent on the invite. She would arrange for everything herself. Beside, I still have my aunt." Samuel was referring to Mary, who was practically known for these things.

They were slowly driving toward the airport, and Samuel decided to pick them up personally. A lot of things happened in these past few days, choosing appropriate gifts with Maia and others while accompanying Liliana and Rosaline for shopping.

He decided to head there early to help out with party arrangements. It was a party hosted by Rothschild Family; there were a lot of things to prepare for.

" She didn\'t have to do that. But you still haven\'t told me what your mother said about everything." Liliana asked.

" I didn\'t ask her yet. I myself don\'t know what to say." It was too complicated to unwind with constant distractions.

" Will she really like me?" Rosaline asked meekly.

" I been thinking about that too." Both girls looked toward Samuel with serious eyes.

" Hahaha, What do you think?"

" That was mean."

" Jerk."

" Relax it will be fine. Even if she didn\'t call for you, I was planning to introduce you to my family. Some of my friends will also be there."

" You mean Darren?"

" Him too, he will be arriving late with his family but I am talking about my co-stars. There are more but they are not going to make it."

" Right, I forgot that you were an actor."

" Both of them look so different but somehow so similar. I wonder why doesn\'t anyone caught him yet." Liliana made a valid point, but there was no way she would know no about Samuel\'s titles.

" It\'s not as easy as you think. Well we are here, I can see them waiting at the gate."

What he was referring to was Maia, Iblis and Paige, who were waiting for them in the VIP area. They insisted on travelling together, he was hesitant at first, but it was bound to happen sometime; why not now? It would be good if they got along; that\'s what he hoped for.

...

Few minutes before Samuel\'s arrival.

" What\'s taking him this long? Wasn\'t it suppose to be a quick pickup?" Paige complained.

" What\'s the hurry? It\'s not like our plane is leaving or are you worried that he will ditch you?" Maia said from the side.

" Ditch? I am worried about something else. How are you guys planning to do it?" Surprisingly Paige didn\'t get mad.

" What are you talking about?" Iblis asked innocently.

" You know who is coming right? I mean, don\'t you have something planned?"

"What are you thinking?" Maia asked.

"I don\'t know. That\'s why I am asking you."

" Are you talking about Liliana and Rosaline? You are not planning to do something bad to them right?" Iblis was strictly against it.

" Bad? no. But It will be interesting to know what type of person they are. I know they are his \'friends\' but how many time we have seen such people taking advantage of people like us?" Maia didn\'t believe that was the case, but it was good to be cautious.

" You are right. You have seen how much he trust them, he could be thinking with his emotions on this. Isn\'t it our duty as his friend to test them out?" Paige agreed with her.

" But he don\'t make such mistakes. I mean we have seen countless girls throwing themselves at him over the years. Don\'t you remember Brittany from few years back? Everyone had a crush on her but she chased him around all the time."

" I remember. We had to practically peel her off of him. Didn\'t they find he was after his money or something?" Maia asked.

" We don\'t know. One day she suddenly stopped it. Someone spooked her real good." Paige said with a smirk.

" That was a good coincidence. I would have done it myself." Iblis said with a humph. There were no rumours about their fake engagement then, but that girl was still relentless even after knowing that.

"So?"

" Just poke around as usual but don\'t make it too obvious. I will help you out." Maia said plainly.

" You want me to take the lead? I thought you were the expert. Oh well, I don\'t mind doing it." Paige asked.

" What should I do?" Iblis asked she was on the fence about it, but the mention of Brittany tipped her over the edge.

" Just watch over her, she tend to go agressive. I don\'t want to start a fight while airborne." Maia suggested.

" Got it."

" What was that?"

"Contingency plan?"

" Fuck you!"

" Here they come. I can see them."

Iblis spotted his car at the entry gate. They walked over to the entrance for a timely \'welcome\'. They didn\'t have a firm plan, but they didn\'t need one. They were good at spotting bad actors!

...

...

...

Both parties converged at the entrance, Maia, Paige and Iblis on one side while Liliana and Rosaline on the other. Samuel was in the middle; he was about to introduce them, but seeing no one was talking made him nervous.

Rosaline looked at the girls whom she had only seen in the media a few times. She had to admit they were gorgeous and also a few years younger than her and Liliana.

Maia, with her pitch-black eyes and hair, wore casual clothes. They were baggy, but they failed to hide her captivating body; along with her round and pretty face, it was a match made in heaven.

Paige who took the centre stage had a more slender look with her dirty blonde hair in a ponytail, she was sporting a jumpsuit. One that people could see ordinary people wear in the streets, Rosaline was very surprised by it, as people would often call her fashionista.

Iblis\' look surprised her the most; she had the closest appearance to her, but there was no way she could compare with an actual \'princess\'. Pure blonde hair with sky blue eyes, it screamed innocence from afar.

Iblis had a friendly face, but the other two meant business. Paige was openly showing hostility. It scared her a little as she hid behind Liliana.

As Rosaline was looking at them, they were also observing them. Maia, in particular, was surprised to see them for the first time.

Rosaline, with her natural red hair and rosy cheeks, looked like a doll. There was some problem with her tacky dress, but she was making it work somehow. When their eyes met, she knew Rosaline had a meek personality like Iblis. Even their skins were whiter than snow; the resemblance was uncanny!

The problem was the other one; female bodyguards always surrounded Maia as a girl. Those were some most challenging people she had met in her life. Somehow she was getting the same vibe from Liliana.

Although the girl appeared to have a similar body, she looked too fit. Liliana also wore tight clothes that made analyzing it easier. Maia had to admit the girl was \'gifted\' in both places, but her fierce eyes were what she was worried about.

It would be wrong if she and Paige clashed, she wanted to call off their plan temporarily as they needed to take more precautions, but Samuel didn\'t give her a chance.

He could see the invisible sparks flowing between both parties. What he was afraid of was happening right in front of his eyes. He had to step in.

" Maia, Paige, Iblis. This is Liliana and Rosaline." He took the initiative and began introducing them.

" It\'s nice to meet you. Miss? Maia...." They exchanged greetings. The tension was still there, but Paige couldn\'t act when Samuel was there.

Liliana also caught on early to what they were trying to do. A woman\'s intuition was no joke; moreover, they were not trying very hard to hide it. Liliana could tell that Maia held the most weight, and Iblis was practically harmless.

" The middle one is tough nut to crack. She seems stubborn." She thought as they walked toward the plane.

Arthur was already waiting for them. He was also meeting them for the first time; he had no qualms about it. He was only concerned with Samuel\'s safety and followed his wishes; as long as he was okay with it, he didn\'t care.

It was also not easier when he felt the tension in the atmosphere. That\'s when he noticed what was actually happening.

" It will be a long flight." He thought as they began to take off.
