Do you accept?
Of course, you shake on it.
When you graduated, a few of your peers were starting their own practices. You'd often thought about it, but you'd told yourself that a stable corporate job made more sense. Now you were about to jump right in.
The next couple weeks were a whirlwind as you finalized the contract and started planning the business. Your little office at the tech firm was cute and cozy, but A-listers will want more amenities and more glamor. You sketch designs and send Marissa links to equipment. She takes all your suggestions, but says she wants the reveal to be a surprise.
You hear the doorbell ring -- today's the day and Marissa is here to show you the fruits of your planning.
You open the door to greet Marissa, but the woman at the door isn't Marissa, it's Naomi Winters.
Jia Lissa as Naomi Winters
You know Naomi, of course. Well, you know of her. Only twenty years old, she's already a huge star thanks to her long-time role in a show on Homeflix.
"Hi, I'm Naomi! It's SO good to meet you James. I've heard so much about you from Marissa. C'mon, sounds like we've got a lot of stops today, hop in!"
You get in the passenger seat of Marissa's black Mercedes (is that new?), and Naomi hops in the back.
"Good morning James," Marissa says as you take your seat. "I hope you don't mind if Naomi joins us today -- she's been following our progress and wanted to see it all. If you're up for it, she'd like a session when we're done to inaugurate your new office.
You see Naomi looks away shyly but nods her head.
