Jessica’s POV
She gave that fake innocent smile all actress gave and it just proved irrespective of her getting her roles through partiality she got the talent to keep the fame.
“Now time to accept questions from the viewers ”
“Yes, I wonder what I will be asked, sometimes I get questions like what is my skin care routine or something like that”
“Well this question right here is actually far from the usual questions you are asked”
“Okay, am excited, who knows what it is”
“It says here, “Miss Hera, you sure you are not dating Mr Marcus because I clearly saw you both coming out from the hotel…. room”…. Wow this is something else”
She was angry I can see it, she signaled to her manager to stop the live for a moment, then she turned to me.
“… Well this question is not what am expecting, I thought this questions are not accepted? ”
“Well that’s the only and we weren’t informed to filter it”
“Don’t you know what to do as a reporter or are you dense?”
“Miss Hera, sorry about that but your manager or your director never said anything about filt…”
“Thwack!!”
I heard the sound before the pain came, I was shocked, like really shocked,
“How dare you talk back at me? Who do you think you are? I will make sure your manager fires you”
“Miss Hera what have you done?”
One of the crew members asked, his eyes so round like saucers that I was afraid it might pop out of them sockets, if my cheeks wasn’t throbbing like I poured hot sauce on it, I would have laughed at him,
“I slapped the bitch that doesn’t know her work, how dare she question me and try to set me up”
“Miss Hera, your director instructed us to ask any questions whether bad or good that was asked of you ”
“You are lying, he wouldn’t do that”
I was enraged, my patience is one second away from slipping and that damn girl isn’t making it any more easier for me,
“She needs to be changed and I never want see her ever again, she doesn’t know her job, she might have spread her legs to obtain her position now, get…”
“Thwack, Thwack”
I didn’t allow her to finish her words because the anger in me has already matured into a full grown baby boy and is now defending me the mama,
“How dare y…”
I gave her another again,
“Thwack”
Then another,
“Damn fucking bi….”
“Thwack”
And another, this one almost sent her head flying but she doesn’t seem to wanna shut up but am not tired yet,
“Am… Am….. Am gonna kill that bitch, am gonna kill her…..”
“Thwack”
“Miss, sorry, Mrs McCartney please stop hitting her face, she is an actress”
“So she should disrespect me because she is an actress, she disregarded me first so I don’t see the reason not to give it back to her”
“Ma’am, you should hold yourself to prevent people from talking bad about it, your husband wouldn’t like that”
I scoffed then starting laughing because it was very funny, if it was me of the past, I would have cowered when I was first slapped but me now is confident, knows her right and doesn’t care about any shit, all thanks to Xavier, I suffered a lot to be where I am right now and I won’t tolerate any form of disrespect,
“Are you…. Are you threatening me right now with my HUSBAND’S name?”
“I wouldn’t do that ma’am, am sorry ”
“Haa, you should be lucky MY husband isn’t the one here to handle this whole….. Thing because if he was, she would have a ruined career and more than a ruined face”
“Am sorry ma’am, am just trying to protect my worker”
“Protecting your worker when she was the one that started throwing slaps around ”
“Am sorry ma’am ”
“I don’t need it, save it, everyone pack up, the live is officially closed”
“Okay ma’am ”
I took my things and left the place without looking back, I don’t care about the rumours going round, I walked out with my head held high up in the air.
I reached my office and sat down, I calmed down on my way here, I wasn’t too angry anymore, I put an ice pack on my slightly swollen cheek which is now beet red by the way, the lady sure packed a slap.
The door to my office opened and an anxious Xavier rushed in making me drop the ice pack on the table.
“What happened to your face? Tell me who did this to you?”
Okay, never have I ever thought that Xavier could be so dramatic, I thought he heard, no he definitely heard because he wouldn’t have barged in like that if he didn’t, I sent him a smile and he glared at me, like really really glared at me, okay, he is seriously upset.
“Okay, calm down it’s nothing ”
“This isn’t nothing, I heard it and when I said I heard it, it’s not the normal small gossip, it’s all over the tabloids and news”
“What!!”
Now it’s my time to be wide-eyed-socket-popping, I took out my phone immediately and lalala I was on the top search,

“Okay they are batshit crazy, it’s not that serious ”
“It’s in a video form”
“Nope, I made sure the live cam was off and no one was videoing with their personal phone”
“Well your crew mistakenly ordered intentionally switched it back on and the whole viewers watched it, it broke our viewers record by 50% ”
“Wow, that’s great, sorry, I mean not great”
“How are you?”
“Honestly am fine, she got it worse”
“Yes I saw that but…..”
“No no no, no buts, it’s between us women, I don’t want you involved in it okay”
“Okay”
“Promise me?”
“I promise, let me help you with the pack”
