Once I arrived at the bar, Marcus, the manager came toward my direction looking worked up. Or disappointed to be specific. Marcus was the one guy I was close to so far at the bar. The rest are work in progress.

" Is something wrong?" I asked the man. He took a seat by the bar whining like a child.

" I wonder how today will be, it's already noon and these guys can't grasp the silly dance moves" he whined. " Hey Trip could you pour me a glass of bourbon?" He asked the curly haired guy who was behind the bar.

" Dude?" I cautioned him and gave him a stunt look.

" Don't worry I will pay for it. What you should be worrying about is those guys dancing like they have rabies" I chuckled at that. Trip put Marcus's glass infront of him and he paid to show me he meant to pay.

" Don't stress, am sure by tonight they will be fine." I consoled the man but he didn't seem convinced. " Tell you what, you could go with them just to make sure they get it right" I advised

" Nah,the entertainment is for some lady having a yacht party and I hate the water. the guys haven't learnt the dance moves well. Its going to be a disaster."

" Well then if you would please excuse me, I need a good sleep." I told him as I started for the small flight of stairs to my room.

" So tonight you are going to be up partying?" He asked with a grin

" Nope, tonight am going to the yacht party. am going to be with those guys to make sure they dance well. So you shouldn't stress. " I grinned back " plus I love the wind" I told him. He just smiled at me as I walked away.

I took off my shirt, pants and shoes then got into bed, With my boxers alone. It was hot perhaps.

As I closed my eyes to sleep, I saw her smile. I unconsciously smiled as I pictured Liv in my head. I slept well.

Liv

Later that evening, Tania walked in through the door with a blonde by her side. She had brown eyes and cherry lips. Tania looked alot better than this morning. I was watching some TV when they walked in.

I saw Tania huff when she got sight of me . That wasn't nice of her.

" Hey" the blonde greeted me with a bright smile. Her dimples showed.

" Hai" I replied giving her back a similar smile. It wasn't fake this time.

" Hey! Don't talk to her" Tania scolded the blond lady.

" What? your jealous?" I grinned at her. I know she had a bad day but I wouldn't let her do that.

" Don't push it Liv" she fired. She started looking like this morning.

" You know am just going to be there as the CEO, temporarily. You don't have to whine about it." I told her.

" Just shut up! I was meant to be the CEO of beauty temporary or permanent, am the daughter of this family" she said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Tania, I really do not care at all about this whole 'being a CEO thing.' If you want it so bad I can give it to you. But that's not up to me" I shrugged.

" Don't pretend to be nice to me, bitch" she thought I was just mocking her.

" Am not pretending, and am not being nice. If it were up to me I would willing give you the position. I don't want it. If I were you, I wouldn't be whining and blaming others for something they didn't do." She was getting on my nerves and I wasn't going to let her.

" Don't act all innocent" she scoffed

" Tania, stop. You acting like a child" her friend told her in a calm voice.

" Yvonne are you on my side or hers?" Tania was frowning when she asked her friend.

" No one is talking about sides here Tania" Yvonne corrected her.

" Really?" She questioned her friend.

" You know what, am leaving" Yvonne seemed to have had enough. She turned to leave.

" no" Tania stopped her. " Please, am sorry. Let's just go my room. And be far from her. " it was the first time since I stepped into this house that I saw Tania act nice.

" Oh right!" Yvonne panicked " I almost forgot!" She cried.

" What?" Tania asked worried. I just watched how Tania seemed so different towards this blonde. I wonder why she hated me so much.

Oh! Right, I married her old dad.

" It's Lesli yacht party tonight, I have to get home now and prepare" she replied Tania. Party? I wanted to go too.

" Can I come?" I asked, interfering their conversation. Tania wasn't pleased. I could see her emotions switch swiftly when she heard my voice.

" No you aren't going anywhere." Tania assured me.

" I wasn't asking you" I told her. She wasn't the boss if me. I was literally her mum and boss now.

" Either way, you are not coming" she insisted. I looked at her friend instead and gave her the please eyes. I really wanted to do something with myself. since I stepped into this house, I have always been a seating log waiting for Tania to tell me what to do for the day, except for last night of course.

" Tania don't be mean" blonde said to Tania

" What's your name?" She asked me.

" Liv Williams" I told her. I added the Williams to make Tania feel bad and it worked. She scoffed as she rolled her eyes.

" I will tell Lesli you will be joining the yacht party." Yvonne shot up excited.

" Alright bye now, and Liv make sure Tania joins, she is a mess. Basically because of you." Yvonne added in a loud whisper. Tania shot her a fierce look which she ignored and walked out.

" You know, Yvonne is my best friend. Don't steal her too like you did with my job." Tania told me once she was sure that Yvonne was gone, far.

" First it wasn't your job. Second, I feel sad for Yvonne really. I wonder how she feels about you being her best friend." I intentionally wanted to annoy Tania.

" You!"

" Ladies?" Sabastian walked in on us. Great.
