Deborah Carlotta Davis is a modern-day woman who is aware of her ideas. Women and men, she believes, have equal rights in terms of employment, talent, and even gender. So when she met Jim Vladimir Smith, she summoned the confidence to write about him in a magazine column. He was the type she despised: fabulously rich, a CEO, immaculately good-looking, a playboy bachelor, and, on top of that, the king of his own universe. Deborah had to go through it and teach men like Vladimir the lesson. When Vladimir also met Deborah, he remembered his past love when he stared into the woman's eyes. Later did he discover that the two women that being part of his life was sisters. Then there are many things that complicate their lives. That night, though, Deborah became drunk and was discovered sleeping in his condominium. She became an instant celebrity the next day, and intimate photos of the two of them were even published in the newspaper. So she chose to spend the summer with her family in Florida because she was already appalled by her co-workers, who treated her as if she had been involved in a sex scandal! But just as fate would have it, she and Vladimir met again in the place where she grew up. Will she avoid the man? Or will she just let him approach her and make her life upside down?
Chapter 1 Perks of being a Writer
Deborah is at her house right now in Colorado, USA, she lived here almost a year when she left in her parent’s home in Florida. She was 30 years old, so she lived independently. She is in the living room right now as she faces her laptop. How to tame a dominating man? She stopped typing on her keyboard as she thought of what she had written.
He is a part-time writer for a magazine called "Frap." The magazine promoted independence, liberation, and gender equality. She has many followers who are like her: independent and self-made women. The magazine helped women like her to prove that they could also rule the world. His theme to be written this month is about the dominance of men and the issue of "fidelity".
She was inspired to write for the August issue of the magazine. She will soap men in her article, especially the ones like, Jim Vladimir Smith, her inspiration and adversary. Deborah found out about this man when she was just starting to write a section of a magazine that she would handle because that’s where she belongs. But when the editor-in-chief suggested that she needed a writer in a section to be called "Woman on Top," she immediately grabbed the opportunity.
Aim to discuss the issue of femininity and masculinity. So she was overjoyed when she was given the job, and her editor gave her permission to do it for a month. So that same night, Deborah started writing and patiently thought of an issue that could be discussed when she turned her eyes to a photo of a man in the news section on the internet. She had seen the man become covered by the magazine. He was with a woman at a gathering as the man's mouth was close to the woman's ear as if he was whispering while the man's hand was holding the woman's waist. She sniffed as she looked at the two in the photo because they were too fit for each other.
The man was good-looking, as was the woman he was with, who was also very beautiful.
She had read in a magazine that this man owned several high-end real estate houses throughout America, and was one of the country's most famous playboys. Another thing she found out was that he was also the CEO of his own company. "Of course!" Deborah suddenly shouts out. This man is the one to make her a star in her column of to-dos. She will track down Jim Vladimir Smith activities in one month. She will find out about this man down to the smallest detail. She would see how many times Vladimir could change women in a month. She endured being like a paparazzi for a month, so she didn’t make a mistake. It wasn’t just three women, but five more! Then she will title her column, "Women, how will you know if your man is a wolf?" So she decided to go to sleep first. Tomorrow she would finish writing. She prayed for a while, then turned off the lampshade and climbed into bed.
The other day,
Deborah woke up early to cook breakfast. She is in the dining room right now, having coffee while reading the news in the tabloid. And she raised an eyebrow at what she read about Jim Vladimir Smith. Based on what is written here in the tabloid, “A face struck a pose during a charity event for the Give Care Foundation, which was held at the Montage Palmeto Bluff, one of the Luxurious hotel in USA. Wearing a beautiful gown, Anastacia Clarete, a famous model, held hands with the famous playboy CEO, Jim Vladimir Smith. Is she the newest flavor of the month? Well, let’s see if this model will last long with our playboy bachelor." She laid the tabloid on the table while shivering with annoyance at what she had read. In the past, the man dated to a socialite, but now he is with a model. It's just like changing clothes when changing women. She stood up and took a plate and spoon so she could start eating. And she will go to the publishing company today to pass on what she wrote yesterday night to her editor-in-chief. An hour later, on the highway, she was driving her car towards the company.
And Deborah wasn't wrong because her editor liked the column she wrote. "Congratulations, Miss Davis. I know this column you wrote will be popular with the masses. Her editor said to her, "Thank you, Miss." She left shortly after they talked to her editor. She was happy because she liked what she did. There was a basis for how women would know that men were not serious with them and diagnose them as playboys.
One month later, "Good morning, Sir! Here’s the list of last month’s events! Deborah greeted their boss with an ear-splitting smile, then she placed the folder on his desk. His boss just walked into the office. Deborah was wearing a beautiful blouse and a knee-length pencil skirt that made him stare at her. It has been paying attention to her for a long time, but she won't let it go.
"Good Morning, Deb! How beautiful you are now, "he greeted her in return, as if making a cute facial expression.
She reciprocated with a smile that was serious and unmixed with malice. Her boss has a thing for her, but she doesn't like her flirting because he has a wife and children.
"Thanks, Sir!" And she noticed someone took it from under the table and laid the two glasses in front of me.
“Let's have coffee first, Deb” It told me her co-workers were looking at them because their office was adjacent and the wall was fiber glass, so it was obvious from the outside. Deborah almost rolled her eyes in front of her boss.
"Thank you, sir. I'm done having coffee. "That was all she said, and she went straight into her office.
And she was immediately greeted by her secretary, Phoebe, with a lot of paper work.
"Ma'am, these are your priority events for next month."
"Thanks, Phoebe. Is everything we need for these events okay? "I asked her. Her headache must be overflowing again because of her loaded work.
“Yes, Ma’am, you can look at the drafts. I also gave a copy to Ma’am Michelle.” What her secretary was referring to was her assistant organizer.
“Okay, I'll review it all. I'll just call you when I need something." Phoebe nodded, then turned away.
Aside from being a writer, Deborah is also the head organizer at MP Events Incorporated. She herself designs events hosted by their company, so she doubles her work. She opened the requests one by one. There are weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, debuts, and whatnot. It includes motifs and desired decorations for those who request it. Their clients are rich, so she has to be meticulous.
