Meeting Marshall Mathers: The Slim Shady Era

Chapter 104

After a flight and car ride home I found myself led on the bed scrolling down my emails, after a week of last checking I had over a 100 emails from various magazines and journalists, it amazed me how they had gotten hold of my personal email. I'd wrote back to my mum, my aunt and Karlie and now I was feeling homesick as I clasped my coffee, watching the screen for my mothers reply...

You sound like your having fun my darling. But on your email situation, maybe you should think to hire out a personal assistant to help you out, I know how bad you are with appointments and time keeping.

I smiled at her reply, Marshall then walked through the room, stopping at his jewellery draw,

"You okay?" I looked up from my laptop,

"Yeah, I'm just gettin' ready to take off" he held various jewellery up to his wrist,

"To go where exactly?" I cleared my throat, he went for his big chain link platinum bracelet,

"Mind your own" he looked at me and pushed back in the drawer,

"Where's your ring from Hailie?" I looked at his bare wedding finger,

"Oh, I've left it in the main bathroom, could you put it back in it's box when you get a chance?" He altered his grey Nike beanie hat in the mirror,

"Yeah sure I will" I smiled up at him as he kissed me goodbye,

"Stay out of trouble" he joked as he walked out,

"You too" I shouted back and got back to replying to my mum,

You know what mum that sounds like a good idea, where on earth would I look for an assistant though?? Although, I don't think Marshall would approve of having an unknown source around his home working for me. Xxx

After writing off to my mum I then tackled a lengthy conversation with Marshall to allow me to pay someone to start handling my personal stuff now that my mail box was getting bombarded day by day. My only problem was who could I trust to be around Marshall's private home whilst they sorted out my stuff? Em had made it clear that it had to be someone I knew and not just someone I could randomly interview as I could unintentionally hire an undercover journalist, he sounded a little extreme but people knew who I was so even if I did advertise for a personal assistant they could just take the job to spy on Marshall, I couldn't put him in that kind of danger.
Who could I pick... Tanya? Tanya! A huge smile plastered on my face as I reached for my phone to find her number, my brain bulb had switched on as I briefly remembered her telling me she was a personal assistant of some big time New York chef, maybe she could work for me also?
I couldn't find her number as I scrolled down and then it hit me, I had given her my number and not taken down hers. Just as I looked for Kelly an unknown caller was phoning me,

"Lord if this is a sign!" I said to myself as I answered it,

"Hello?"

"Hey Rose its Tanya"

"Oh my gosh!" I squealed to myself, she started to laugh at my strange response,
"This has got to be fate, I was just looking for your number in my contacts!"

"Oh no way?" She now sounded surprised,

"Seriously, I'm so shocked right now, like what a coincidence. Look Tan, I uhm I have a little job proposition for you, I mean if you're interested?"
