Sage's POV

"Sage I swear if you don't get your ass up, before we're late to this meeting!" I hear a loud voice yell from the other side of my bedroom door.

Rolling over I check the time.

7:00 am

Fuckkk.

Groaning in annoyance, I roll over in my bed stuffing my head in my and pillow praying that he'd just go away. The man on the other side of the door continues to bang like a manic— not like i expected any less from Niko.

Niko and I have been best friends for as long as i could remember. He's always been by my side when i needed him playing  a huge roll in helping me become the woman i am today. Of course, I am grateful, however in this moment i want nothing more than to strangle him.

"Damn it Niko, stop banging on the door you asshole, i'm up already!" I say lying in hopes of making the noise stop.

"Don't lie to me babes or i'll come drag you out of bed." His tone is taunting.

Knowing I have no choice other than to get up seeing that Niko never leaves room for an argument (Or goes back on his word). I quickly hop out of bed and when i say quickly I mean more like staring into the void for ten minutes before trotting into the bathroom with intentions of showering and beginning my busy day.

I strip my nightclothes, stepping into the steaming hot water that makes me even sleepier than I already am. Regardless I push through knowing that the meeting today is an important one.

After finally getting the strength to leave the warm water I step out wrapping a towel around my body. I begin my face routine, slicking my hair back not too long after that. Happy with my appearance I speed walk to my closet deciding on a sexy but classy burgundy outfit.

"Makeup or no makeup?" I whisper to myself looking in the mirror.

"Sage we gotta go!" Niko yells impatiently.

"No makeup it is then" I say before walking out the door.

After and long car ride and Niko's long speech about waking up on time, we make it to our destination. Polyester Productions. The building I designed from the bottom up.

If you don't know already, my name is Sage Polyester. I'm young a very successful owning a a shoe and lingerie company with a few restaurants here and there. I number 2 on the charts and Since I model all my work, I'm quite known here in New York.

A lot of people ask me how I do it and my answer is always the same. Hard work, patience and
discipline.

I worked my ass of in high-school taking multiple Ap classes, and graduating with a extremely high gpa. I got a full scholarship for my dream college, worked my ass off even more there and here i am.

"Did you hear about Xan Kingman's arrival" Niko questions snapping me out of my monologue. I roll my eyes.

Just his name alone is enough to bring irritation to the surface.
