LEEYAH
"Are you ready for today, baby?" Demi asked after stepping out of the shower and grabbing a towel.
"Yeah, I mean Andy and my team worked really hard. Plus I think it's good that Rihanna wants to help out," I walked towards Demi and gave a soft peck on her lips before I headed to the bathroom so that I could shower.
"The way you sold the concept, she would be crazy not to want to help babes. You're going to do amazing, I can feel it."
We spoke for a little while until Demi was done and she headed out to do more of her promo work for her latest album. It has been out for two weeks now and I still don't think there's enough hype around the album but I know it's going to get there.
Also, today was the day I got to pitch my marketing campaign for the EyeBang. My team and I have been working real hard to come up with this concept and I think that it's going to create a lot of hype.
After my shower, I decided to do a bit of meditation before I got dressed. It actually felt good meditating for a full hour in my birthday suit. Today I decided to dress in all white and show a bit of skin.

"Good morning Leeyah, here's your coffee," my assistant handed me a fresh cup of hot coffee, which I gladly accepted.
"Thank you, Portia. Is everyone inside?"
"Yup, they are just waiting for you. Good luck."
"Thanks babe but I won't need it," I sent her a wink before I turned to the door of the boardroom and opened it.
I walked in and let Portia in so that she could sit in on the meeting. There was at least fifteen people seated around the table and none of them looked like they stepped on dog shit on their way here. Thank you Allysus.
"Good morning everyone, I hope no one has been waiting too long," I flashed my winning smile and everyone just shook their heads with no complaint. I continued to speak, "Great, now let's get down to business."
"My team and I spent weeks thinking about how we could go about marketing the EyeBang. Now, we have already established that the EyeBang is a product that allows the user to express themselves in any way they choose.
That got us thinking, if this product is aimed at college students and the age group of 18-35 then what exactly would peak their interest? Music."
Almost everyone, except my team, looked perplexed and muttered to the next person to try and get a clue. I just walked around with a smirk and continued,
"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Music. Today's youth is a musically inclined group and the only way we can peak their interest is through music. How? You might ask. Well, who here knows Rihanna?"
A few people lifted their hands and others just stared at me still trying to get where I was going with this. Yaaas stay intrigued b*tches.
"Rihanna is a world renowned pop star who has the world at her fingertips," I clicked on the presentation remote and a picture of Rihanna showed up.
Rihanna is known for her unconventional ways of expressing herself in the world of music and fashion,"
"This is where the money comes in, my amazing friend Riri is about to drop ANTI and she is willing to partner up with EyeBang to promote her album before it drops,"
"Since EyeBang prides itself in having cutting edge virtual reality technology. This amazing product can be used to power the app ANTIdiaRY,"
"Using this app, the user will be taken through rooms in virtual reality. It will give the users a taste of what the EyeBang has in store for them,"
"And this way EyeBang gets the marketing it deserves and so does Rihanna, thank you," I stood in front of the screen and gave a toothless smile. Everyone clapped their hands in approval and we got the stamp of approval from the boss to go ahead and start the campaign.
"Thank you everyone for all the hardwork you put into this pitch and now it's time for us to go for gold, cheers!" I yelled in a celebratory voice since we were all in my office, having a celebratory drink.
"I can't wait to get this whole show started," Andy shouted and I think he had a little bit too much to drink.
I headed out early from the office because I've got two jobs and I can't neglect any of them. I was flying to Cape Town for the J&B Met and I was so grateful that the plan ride was only two hours long.

Since this was an A-List event, many of the South African celebrities had come out to play. I played very chilled songs since everyone was too busy socialising instead of dancing.
I hated djing at such a gig because the crowds vibe was never on 100. Everyone was worried about their reputations and how they would look in pictures. But a job is a job is a job.
After djing for at least three hours, I handed the decks over to DJ Black Coffee. I was so happy to be done, all I wanted was to fly back home to my baby.
"Aye Leeyah, wuss good? I haven't seen you in a while," a familiar voice snapped me out of my daze when the person sat next to me.
"Hey Amanda, yeah it's because you're out here being famous and all. You don't even come to my gigs anymore," I pouted at the beautiful Swati girl staring at me and she let out a hearty laugh.
"Girl, you know how hard it is in South Africa. I'm just trying to get my share of the Motherland. Anyway, how are you? I've been seeing you on the entertainment news," she questioned and I took a sip from my cocktail, which I got before sitting down, before answering her.
"I'm well. Just landed a huge deal with Rihanna and EyeBang. Plus, I've got a few gigs lined up for the next few weeks so I'm living the dream right now."
"That's great Leeyah. I miss you hey," she bat her eyelashes at me but I wasn't taking none of this shit from my ex. Not today Satan, not today. "You were right, Leeyah, Cassper wasn't shit and I miss us," she held on to my hand and forced me to look at here. I should've left as soon as my gig was done.
You can touch me with slow hands
Speed it up, baby, make me sweat
I had never been so grateful to hear that ringtone in my life. I reached for my phone in my pocket, "Hold that thought, Amanda. No, actually scratch that thought entirely, we are done here," I stood up and answered my phone,
"Daddy Demz, wuss good baby?"
"Leeyah, you need to come home baby. I need to talk to you."
