End of vacation for these beautiful girls. After plenty of rest for one, and a lot of partying for the other, today they'd have a meeting to find out what their next job was.

-----

Camila remained lying on her bed, completely blacked out. She always had a hard time waking up, even if she had a day full of commitments.

Frantic knocks on the door were heard through the huge corridor of that apartment. On one side, the seductive Latina slept soundly. And on the other side, her impatient agent, Dinah, stomped her foot frantically on the hardwood floor that overlaid good part of the apartment. Sometimes the Polynesian felt like choking Camila due to her lack of responsibility.

"Camila, if you don't open this door in five minutes, I'll ask someone to knock it down!"

The blonde warned while she was still knocking on the wooden door nonstop. Slowly, Camila woke up from her sleep. Fun time is over, her subconscious reminded her when she heard the loud knocks on her door. The Latina sat up on her bed, and as slowly as possible, she opened her eyes. At the sound of her agent's voice and more knocks on the door, the Latina huffed.

"Camila!" Dinah shouted impatiently.

Camila pulled her duvet off her legs, and with a certain difficulty, she lifted her body and dragged herself to the edge, to then get up from that delightful mattress to face the beast in her corridor.

"Jesus Christ!" Camila unlocked the door and opened it, almost being struck by Dinah's fist that was getting ready to knock on the door once again. "Woman, I'm already up. You already want to punch me this early?" She said jokingly, and Dinah rolled her eyes.

Camila stepped aside so that her agent could enter the bedroom. The blonde switched on her iPad and clicked on the Latina's schedule.

"I told you you shouldn't have slept so late last night." Dinah scolded her as she kept her eyes on the iPad. Camila rolled her eyes and yawned, dragging herself back to the bed and sitting on it. "We have a meeting with Adidas representatives at 2:30PM." Camila nodded as she covertly rolled her eyes. "And then we have a secret meeting with Simon."

The Latina nodded again, trying to pay attention to every word her agent told her. She was really tired, she had gone out last night to enjoy her last day of vacation, and she ended up exaggerating.

As usual.

Dinah kept on talking and talking, and sometimes, as it was common, she scolded Camila. The two of them practically grew up together, and when the Latina decided to pursue an acting career, she begged her best friend to be her manager. She didn't trust anyone else for that job.

-----

Across town, Normani, Lauren's agent, had no problems with her client. She was always punctual and easy to deal with, unlike Camila, who was practically the opposite.

"Good morning. What do we have scheduled for today?" Lauren greeted as she walked into the kitchen with a white towel wrapped around her hair, wearing a black and white plaid blouse and tight black jeans. Her feet were still bare. She sat on the stool next to Normani, who was drinking her coffee while checking Lauren's schedule.

"Good morning." Normani greeted her smiling, and Lauren smiled back at her. They've been friends long before they worked together, so their relationship was excellent. They met at a film festival seven years ago, and have remained friends since then. "This morning you have that 'date' with Ryan." The agent said, and Lauren nodded.

Ryan Smith was a famous singer of a boy band, which was very successful with the girls, and in a matter of months they gained a huge fame. But at the moment, he was only interested in one girl. They tended to act like best friends most of the time, but the British boy spared no effort to let Lauren know that he liked her more than friends.

"And in the afternoon, we have that meeting with Simon."

Lauren grabbed a toast and spread a bit of butter on it, and nodded at Normani again, to then take a bite of her toast. She wiped the corner of her mouth as soon as she finished and then grabbed her cup of coffee, which was next to her phone on the countertop. She took a generous sip of the somewhat bitter liquid, feeling her body go into a state of frenzy.

"Simon didn't say anything about what that 'secret meeting' is about?" She used air quotes, and Normani shook her head.

Lauren huffed, taking a deep breath before taking another sip of her coffee. She hated to feel curious, it simply bothered her immensely.

"But I have a feeling it's about that tv series he's going to direct."

"Yeah, may be."

-----

Camila's meeting with Adidas was pretty quick and productive. They were going to launch a new line of tennis shoes by 'Camila Cabello'. It was a great contract for the Latina. Not to mention that she loves Adidas' tennis shoes.

Why not have her own line of exclusive tennis shoes?

She and Dinah were now inside a cab, heading towards Simon's office, where the secret meeting would take place. He's been mysterious about what he wanted to talk about with the actress, but Camila had a few ideas.

As soon as they pulled up in front of the huge ten-story building, Camila got out of the cab, leaving Dinah, who was paying the taxi driver, behind.

"Is the meeting going to take long?" Camila asked as they walked into the entrance hall of that building. She straightened up her outfit and lifted her sunglasses onto the top of her head.

"Are you going somewhere special after?" Dinah asked, amused, and Camila flashed her a mischievous smile. The Latina was definitely going to meet someone. "Okay... Don't worry, I'll make sure it's as brief as possible." Dinah assured her, and Camila smiled at her gratefully.

Camila hugged the blonde who smiled at the act and reciprocated the hug as they both waited for the elevator. Even though the Polynesian nagged and demanded a lot from Camila, the two of them were very close and confidants. Camila understood Dinah, knew that that was her job: to keep her in line.

-----

Lauren had just parked her Porsche Carrera in front of Sony's gates. She was going to give a brief hug to her friend, and then she'd go straight to Simon's building. She wanted to be done with that meeting as soon as possible.

"Are the boys all here?" Lauren asked Normani as soon as they got out of the vehicle.

The brunette locked her car and straightened up the collar of her jacket. The weather in California was rather cold, forcing her to have to warm herself properly. Normani's orders, of course. Because according to the agent, it was of the utmost importance that Lauren's health be always 100%. And she was right, it was really important.

"Yes. I think they're going to change record labels or something." Normani explained, and Lauren nodded.

The two of them quickly entered the record label company and greeted some people on the way. Lauren smiled broadly, she was happy with the life she led, since ever since she was little her dream was to become an actress. And gradually, she was conquering what she has always wanted, and maybe one day she'd get what she wanted most: an Oscar.

"Lauren!" A thick voice echoed in the corridors, and Lauren turned around, looking for the owner of the voice, coming across a smiling Liam that was walking towards her. She flashed him a smile as big as his.

"Liam!" Lauren said in a friendly way, and walked over to the boy to give him a big hug.

"Looking for Ryan, am I right?" He asked mischievously, and Lauren bumped his shoulder with her own, feeling her cheeks blush slightly. Ryan's bandmates always picked on them. "Come, I'll take you to where he is."

He took her hand and guided her down those long corridors. Liam greeted Normani, who until then was distracted on her phone. They reached a black door and Liam pushed it, revealing a room with some sound systems and a few couches, it looked more like a leisure room or something. In the right corner there was a pool table, where Lauren saw Harry, Niall and Louis playing. She smiled at the boys who smiled back at her. A bit ahead was Ryan, he was lying on the couch, playing with his phone.

"Mani, do you wanna go for a walk?" Liam asked Normani, who just nodded, understanding the boy's intention.

The two of them left and went to where the other boys were. Lauren approached the couch where Ryan was lying, he hadn't even noticed the brunette's presence.

"Wow, I come all the way here to see you and you stay glued to that phone? I think I'm gonna go."

Lauren pretended to be upset, and then sat down next to the British boy. Finally noticing Lauren's presence, he let his phone fall on his face, which caused Lauren to laugh.

"Ouch!" Ryan grunted, running his hand over his forehead, where the device had hit him. He quickly sat up straight on the couch and smiled shyly at Lauren. "You came."

"I said I'd come." Lauren said against the British boy's neck after he pulled her into a hug. "Happy?"

"Yes, very."

-----

"Here's one of my big stars." Simon greeted in a friendly way as soon as Camila entered his office, being accompanied by Dinah.

"And since when do you have others?" Camila countered playfully, and Simon laughed. He motioned for Camila and Dinah to sit on the chairs in front of his desk, and they promptly sat down.

"Oh, always so funny. And with a huge ego." He joked back, making Camila laugh. She didn't even deny it, she knew that that was a fact.

"Can we start?" Camila was straightforward. Simon smiled, he loved that straightforward way of Camila.

"I'm just waiting for my other star."

Camila frowned and wondered: What the hell is Simon up to now?

The Latina opened her mouth to ask who the other star was, but before she could, the door of the office was opened. Camila turned around instantly, and she widened her eyes at the sight of who it was.

"You?!" Lauren and Camila asked at the same time, confused with all that.

Dinah exchanged a quick, amused glance with Normani. Unlike their bosses and friends, Dinah and Normani always got along well, and they found their bickering funny.

"What is this girl doing here, Simon?" Lauren asked angrily, casting a questioning and cold look at Simon.

"I would like to ask the same. What is this hypocritical person doing here?" Camila turned around again to face Simon, and she arched one of her eyebrows at him.

"Girls, calm down." He asked, and motioned for Lauren to approach and sit on the other chair. Very reluctantly, the brunette did as she was asked. "I'll explain what the two of you are doing here."

"That would be great." Lauren grunted.

Camila rolled her eyes. Annoying girl, she thought as she huffed and crossed her arms under her breasts.

"I thought you told me you were waiting for your other star, but this girl is more of an extra, really." Camila goaded her mockingly, and Lauren fumed with anger on the chair. She looked at Camila, who had a victorious smile on her lips, and she felt like choking her.

"Look here, you bitch-" Lauren started.

"Girls!" Simon prevented the beginning of one of their so famous catfights. Lauren huffed and leaned back against the chair. "Please, can you two be still for a minute without trying to kill each other?"

"I can, but I think it's best to put a leash on this thing here, you know? Just as a precaution." Lauren suggested, laughing, and Camila's mouth fell open. She looked at the brunette beside her and glared at her.

Simon, Dinah and Normani looked at each other and shrugged.

That wasn't going to be easy.

-----

"I WILL NOT WORK WITH HER. DON'T EVEN BOTHER." Lauren shouted from the rooftops as she paced back and forth, agitated.

Normani was rubbing her temples, keeping her cool as she tried to convince Lauren that that would be a good thing. "Lauren, this will aggrandize your career even more. Think about how good it will be to have your name involved with Simon's." She held the brunette by the shoulders and looked into her eyes.

Lauren gritted her teeth and inflated her nostrils. No fucking way! I will not work with that gnome, she thought to herself.

Normani sighed, she was going to have a hard time trying to convince the brunette to do that.

-----

Across the city, Camila was acting the same way, freaking out over that.

"This is an absurd. Lauren doesn't have the same level as me, I won't work with her. It's out of the question." Camila said firmly.

Dinah rolled her eyes. How modest, she said ironically in thought.

"Mila, this will be great for your career. You know that Simon is a very influential director." She tried to be as convincing as possible. Camila huffed and continued to shake her head. Dinah almost shouted at the Latina, she was losing all her patience. "In life we have to do things like this, that is if you want to grow."

"Don't even start with that crap. I don't care, I won't do it. Period." She said firmly, and Dinah threw her head back, letting out a long sigh. One day she would end up slapping Camila because of her stubbornness.

"Okay, if that's what you want." Dinah shrugged, and Camila stared at her incredulously.

No more screaming or more attempts to convince me? She thought, astonished.

"This role will probably be given to another actress, who knows, maybe a new actress? Because then Lauren will be the show's main star and will gain full prominence." Dinah let out and spun on her heel, walking to the kitchen.

She played dirty, she knew very well that that would hit Camila somehow. She just hoped it worked.

And that's what happened. Once she assimilated what her agent had told her, Camila widened her eyes. Almost flying after Dinah.

"I accept." Camila said as she walked into the kitchen, breathless, and Dinah feigned surprise.

It never fails, she thought to herself, and laughed inwardly.

-----

Saturday was sunny. Normani and Dinah had met so they could talk about how their bosses were feeling in relation to the show they'd do together. The world would react in the same way as the two agents, everyone who knew them, knew very well that Camila and Lauren have never been friends, quite the opposite. That hatred has been mutual for years.

"Lauren almost had a syncope, but all I had to do was say that Camila would be very successful if someone else replaced her on the show, and she gave in quickly." Normani said, laughing, and Dinah accompanied her. The Polynesian had used the same tactic as her.

"I did the same as you." Dinah confessed, and Normani lifted her hand to her so she would high-five her.

"Have you two read the script?" Normani asked curiously as she took a sip of her iced-tea.

"I have, but Camila still hasn't."

"Neither has Lauren. But I have. How do you think they'll react when they find out they'll have to portray a couple in love?"

Dinah stopped what she was doing to imagine it, and when the image of Lauren and Camila needling each other and freaking out came to mind, she burst out laughing.

"It will be the apocalypse." Dinah said, and Normani laughed, agreeing. "But it will be funny, it will be very funny."

"It's going to be so much fun!"
