Not that I’m a famous celebrity or something. Still, when people recognize the CEO of the self-made fashion design empire, they’re always asking for free Evermore handbags or scarves or outfits. And I love my fans, I love doing giveaways, but there comes a point when I have to escape work, you know? Plus, I’m not keen on seeing myself on the tabloid papers when there’s a slow celebrity news day. The last picture of me and Rocky wasn’t very flattering, and I definitely got a lot of backlash online. I like to keep the media focused on my line, on my products, and not on my sometimes-scandalous love life.

I’m happy just the way things are. And sometimes, contrary to popular belief, a woman just doesn’t have time for a relationship and fun—so I’ll take fun, any day of the week. Target, spinning class, or seduction at its finest, whatever the day calls for.

“Not tonight, chica. It’s just you and me… and whoever you deem a worthy catch.”

“See you soon?”

“You bet. Meet you out front.”

I click off the phone, sigh, and shut down my computer.

Sometimes even the biggest workaholics have to get out and play.
