Bab 100: Variety Show (2)
Once Kaiser left, Valentina quickly ate her breakfast before going upstairs and searching for the room Kaiser mentioned. Spotting a door that had the letters' Valentina's Dressing Room' spelled out in glittering letters, she opened the door with a sense of dread and was immediately blinded.
The room was even larger than the suite she currently stayed in, and It honestly looked like a set from a movie with a large white vanity with gleaming lights, a cozy plush chair, and a large wall covered in floor-to-ceiling shelves full of a variety of purses and shoes. The other sections of the room were filled with built-in shelving and drawers, which were full of clothes of various styles, accessories, and more.
As she looked through the clothing and accessories, she saw brands like Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Loro Piana, Valentino, and more she had never heard of before; she immediately wanted to go wash her hands and put on some gloves.
When she opened some of the drawers, she saw rows and rows of jewelry that blinded her as they shone in the light. Gold, silver, and platinum watches embedded with jewels of all colors, necklaces, rings, bracelets, and anklets of various designs. There were multiple drawers filled with all types of makeup and skin care products. Some of the drawers even had pajamas, underwear, and lingerie in her size.
Seeing everything, she could only blink in shock.
What was going on? This was more than just a few things; this was a whole entire department store in the room!
Knock. Knock.
As she opened the door, she saw Kaiser's smug face.
"Kaiser, what is this?"
"Are you feeling my sincerity yet? I've been having them slowly build it for a while, and Lia just finished stocking it up once you left for your premier. Since you didn't want to spend my money, I decided to spend it for you. None of it is returnable as the tags are ripped off, everything is engraved or monogrammed, and the receipt has been burned, so feel free to wear it, trash it, or donate it as you wish. What do you think? Do you like it?"
Valentina: "..."
You're a divine waste of money.
Not responding, she quickly shut the door in his face, her face turning red as she heard his laughter. How the hell had he gotten this done? She stayed home all day and hadn't heard a single sound or seen a single person work on it!
Sighing to herself, she quickly changed into an orange shirt, a matching navy jacket with orange paneling, and matching navy leggings. Putting on the closest matching sneakers she could find, she quickly added matching orange clips to hold her wild curls back before putting on a simple gold necklace and bracelet. After adding some lip gloss, she came out, grabbed the medical files given to her by the doctor, and went to Kaiser's office.
The door was open, and she saw Kaiser and Luca fiddling around with a camera and some ring lights hooked to the table. Seeing her enter, Luca quickly abandoned Kaiser, yelling, "Mommy!"
"Luca say Auntie."
"No!"
Seeing the firm refusal on his little face, she turned to look at Kaiser, who only snickered before commenting, "I like your outfit, very sporty. Now come sit. Do you have your phone?"
"Yes, I have it." As she walked over behind the desk, squeezing past Kaiser, she saw him glance from her face to her butt while his hand twitched.
Turning red, she quickly sat down on the office chair before hissing at him, "Don't even try it."
"Too bad. Next time if you let me." He winked at her before continuing to adjust the camera.
"Now, how do I set this up?" Valentina murmured to herself as she was fiddling with her phone camera while trying to figure out the elaborate setup so she could start the live.
"Here. Make sure you're logged onto the laptop and we'll stream from there. You can use your phone to you can read comments as they come or the laptop. The camera is also connected, so as long as you look ahead, you should be fine. Turn on 'Do not Disturb', and you should be good to go."
"Thank you again for letting me use your office, Kaiser, and setting this up. I appreciate it." Valentina gave Kaiser a wide smile before turning to Luca.
"And thank you, my little nugget, for letting me use your laptop."
"Of course, mommy." He ran over with his hands held out to her.
"Say Auntie Luca." Valentina sighed, but seeing his puppy dog eyes, she gave him a hug before glaring at Kaiser behind Luca's back.
"Alright, Luca, come on. Valentina needs to work, so we need to go and be quiet, okay? Wish her good luck, and let's go."
"Okay. Bye, mommy. Good luck." After reluctantly going into Kaiser's arms, the door shut behind the two of them, and she sighed with relief.
She and Luca really needed to talk. She wondered if she could bribe him with snacks so he would revert back to calling her auntie. If not, she really needed to speak with his psychiatrist.
Calming herself down, she hesitantly started the live. Although she had quite a few followers, she was still a bit nervous as to whether any of them would actually bother to join and watch her.
As the camera began streaming, and she saw her face and body appear on the laptop, she gave her brightest smile and began talking.
"Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining my impromptu live today. I'm here to give an update on the situation that happened previously and answer some questions you may have for me."
As the comments began streaming in, she pulled the laptop closer and began trying to answer them one by one.
- Julliexxx: How are you doing? I saw the fall. Did you go to the hospital? What did they say?
"Hi Julliexxx I'm doing well thank you. The hospital released me with a clean bill of health and just told me to rest for a couple of days while taking some medicine."
- Bysstander222: did you release the video? Why didn't you speak up?
"Did I have anything to do with the video being released? No, I found out along with everybody else. As for speaking up, I was hospitalized and was on my way home, so I didn't have a chance to say anything yet."
- AaliyahStanForever: Aaliyah is an angel. What did you say to her that caused her to push you?
"Hi AaliyahStanForever. I don't believe I said anything in particular to Aaliyah that warranted her pushing me down the stairs. Even if she was offended, I don't believe that violence is the answer to anything. We're not children and should be able to talk it out."
"Did I have fake blood pills in my mouth? No, I did not. Unfortunately, all the blood was real and manufactured in my body." Valentina replied dryly.
"Did I pay Aaliyah for the dry cleaning of her custom Chanel dress? No, I did not, as she didn't send me a bill. If she would like me to do so, I'm willing as long as she also does the same for my clothes,"
"Did I pay her hospital bill? Of course not. However, if she wants me to, I would recommend we both combine and split our hospital bills as well since we both got injured. I also believe that Black Rock will bear the cost as they are a generous agency who won't penalize their artists for an accident."
"Are Aaliyah and I enemies? Absolutely not. I am not enemies with anyone and, in fact, would like to ask her if she hates me."
"What were we talking about? It's between Aaliyah and me. I'm willing to share the contents of the conversation as long as she gives her consent. I know the recording had no audio, but I'm willing to follow up with the building if Aaliyah agrees to it." Valentina gave a mischievous smile.
"Do I feel bad since I am causing another film delay? I have spoken to the director and let him know that I am ready to go and in full health. Any delays at this point are at the director's discretion."
As more and more people began joining the live and questioning her about the incident, she saw three names that made her swallow her words temporarily.
Fallen Angels has joined the live.
Shawn has joined the live.
Rio has joined the live.
As those three names appeared, the comments went wild, and the number of people viewing the live instantly quadrupled. The comments were so many that it began scrolling up faster than she could read them. All she could see were heart eyes and confessions of love that disappeared in a moment, quickly replaced by more of the same.
The names she saw weren't even regular ones anymore; they all had Rio, Shawn, fallen angels, or demonic pillars somehow mixed in them.
"Please slow down in the comments, I can't read so fast." Valentina tried to calm the commenters down in hopes of regaining the previous calm.
It seemed to work for a bit as the comments slowed in response, but then a line appeared that drove the fans into a frenzy.
- Rio: Hey Val, how are you doing? Feeling better?
*Kaiser tryna smack that ass 😂*
