Rachel stared at the paper, losing interest with every passing minute as she held the white sheet.
She wasn't supposed to be here, she was to be at home cuddling with her fiance and admiring her diamond engagement ring. But when her manager called and said it was an 'emergency
She had no choice but to leave her sweetheart.

   "Places people, we're going live in a few minutes"
Rachel watched the new makeup artist struggle with her face. 
There were a lot of activities in the room, from the fixing of cameras, and room decorations to people picking dresses for her to wear.
The sight of it all brought a slight discomfort.

   "You look perfect" her manager complimented, patting her shoulder in awe, a smile flickered across her face. But it was no surprise, she heard it every day.

  "I always look perfect," she replied, gawking at the mirror, satisfied with her charming look. 

"No time to chit-chat, quickly stand in front of the cameras, we're going live soon"
Rachel sighed, dragging a foot ahead of another. Last-minute preparation was still ongoing. 

   "We are living in 3,2,1. . ."

   "Good morning Nigeria" she began, plastering a sweet smile  
"It's your girl as always bringing you the latest gist of Naija palava from the top celebrities to even the hawkers in every street, this channel's got your back, as usual for today we are going to be interviewing one of your favorite celebrity stars but first, we are going to go on a quick break, when we get back you are going to know who this is so don't go anywhere, we'll be right back"

"Cut"
Rachel sighed in relief that the first part was done. 
It was obvious the said celebrity was caught up in traffic and won't make it on time.
She sat down,the makeup artist made some adjustments, reapplying the lipstick on her lips.

"Ma'am, you have a call"
She announced, giving Rachel her phone.
She was a petite girl that had recently started working with the company as a makeup artist.
  Rachel glanced at the phone screen, her face broke into a smile when she recognized who the caller was.

   "What is it, Natalie?" she asked, still smiling.

   "Nothing, I just wanted to call you and ask why you're not on my screen yet" Rachel chuckled.

This girl is unbelievable.

  "You're crazy" Rachel chuckled, watching her manager yell at a man that wasn't doing his job right.
The man's head hung low as a sign of apology but her manager was not having it.

  "This break is taking too long, I want to see you on my screen in less than 5 minutes" Natalie mumbled, the two no longer holding their laughter.

"Yes ma'am" she replied, punching the red button on her screen, still chuckling.
Rachel's crazy friend, Natalie from diapers or Pampers anyone that you prefer.
Close childhood friends that look alike but are different.
Rachel is nice and sweet while Natalia is sassy.
The two besties have like a thing or two in common but are still close.

"Rachel, it's time"

After Rachel was done for the whole day, she checked her phone inbox, her face twisting to a slight frown when she realized she got no text messages from her fiance.
She rubbed her temples and sighed, stifling a yawn.
Today was going to be a big day, a wonderful one even.
Her fiance would be seeing her parents for the first time!
