9:52 YAYA:You’re joking, right?

9:53 DARE:Absolutely not.

9:54 YAYA:You still have money after that insane Ru-Carpsel buy-out?

9:55 DARE:I won’t discuss money with you, Yaya.

9:56 YAYA:Because you’re embarrassed?

9:57 DARE:Because it’s unnecessary.Only tell me what you want and it’s yours. You will never again have to worry about a price tag.

9:58 YAYA:The price tag matters. It matters very much.

9:59 DARE:I’ll call my lawyers. What was the name of your agency again?

10:01 YAYA:Noooo! Dare! Wait!Let’s keep our grand gestures to something that costs less than a company, okay?

10:02 DARE:No promises.

10:02 YAYA: *angry emoji*

10:03 YAYA:They’re finally ready to see me. Wish me luck.

10:05 DARE:good luck

11:30 YAYA:I’m done.

11:51 DARE:At the company? Good riddance. They were awful, incompetent leaders anyway.

11:52 YAYA:No, with the meeting. I got off with a warning, but they’re not dropping me.

11:53 DARE:Have I mentioned how much I love their leadership skills?They’re a fine company with amazing vision and exquisite taste in models. I’ve always liked them.

11:54 YAYA: *laughing emoji*

11:55 YAYA:You didn’t have anything to do with them going easy on me, right?

1156 DARE:Of course I did.

11:57 YAYA:Dare, what did you do?

11:58 DARE:I wished on a shooting star last night. Prayed you would get everything your heart desires.

11:59 YAYA:You’re so annoying.

12:00 DARE:Whatever you accomplished at your agency, you did on your own. I didn’t meddle.

12:01 YAYA:You know it’s bad when I’m thanking you for not doing anything nice for me.

12:02 DARE:Have you eaten? I’ll send a car service to pick you up.

12:03 YAYA:Deej flew me out in Sazuki’s jet this morning. We’re heading somewhere to celebrate as we speak.

12:04 DARE:So you did end up taking a jet.

12:05 YAYA:My sister had to drag me onboard. Do you know how awful private jets are for the environment?
