A warm, almost hot sensation spread across my right cheek as Tiffany pressed the freshly waxed skin with her gloved hand. For a moment, the soothing pressure nearly made me relax, distracting me from what was happening behind me. Unfortunately, the next second brought me crashing back to reality. “Motherfucker!” I yelled, my fingers curling into fists as the lady behind me ripped away another strip with ruthless efficiency. “There, there,” Tiffany said calmly, her tone practiced and…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Sundar Pichai adjusted his glasses and straightened in his chair just as the camera light flicked on, signaling the start of the recording. “Thank you for agreeing to this conversation, Sundar,” the woman seated across from him, Prim, said warmly. “We’re interviewing you today for young and emerging entrepreneurs around the world.” “The pleasure’s all mine,” he replied with an easy smile. “Tell us how you reached this point,” she continued. “Today, Phoenix isn’t just one of…

- May 2010, New York City, New York “How are things?” I asked casually. Judging by the eager faces around the table, things were good. At the very least, no one looked worried. The meeting itself was informal by design. No one wore suits, and the whole vibe was chill. I preferred it that way, no rigid agendas, no stiff presentations. Just people talking honestly. “Things are great,” Chad Hurley, the CEO of YouTube, said with barely contained excitement. “We’re finally profitable.” I…

- @FireStarter12: WTF!? Someone just tried to kill Troy in his own home! It’s all over the news… 😭 This is beyond messed up. I get that people are mad at him, but this doesn’t mean they can try to kill him. @LunaBliss: OMG! I hope he’s okay. I can’t believe our people would stoop so low as to attempt murder on a teenager who just made some money. @SereneDreamer: When will people grow up and get a life? I hate those people who take the law into their own hands. If you have such a problem…

- Scarlett stared at me with her mouth slightly open, completely stunned. For a moment, she looked frozen in time. I stayed on one knee for almost a full minute, waiting patiently, but she still didn’t say anything. The silence felt heavier with every passing second. "Yes, no, maybe?" I asked finally. "Come on, say something. My knee is hurting." "Get up then," she instructed, sounding composed again. "Let’s discuss this before I answer you." That was not what I expected. I hadn’t ever…

- Nikki nervously wrung her wrists, her stomach twisting as she tried to calm herself. She still couldn’t believe she had landed the biggest role of her career, and that she’d be performing beside the biggest superstar in the world. Troy Armitage won awards left, right, and center wherever he went, and he was the only guaranteed box office success in today’s era. Then he was a billionaire, one of the most handsome guys out there, and a record-breaking musician as well. Sometimes, it was hard to…

- Reed Hastings looked over at the young billionaire in front of him. The guy appeared quite normal, aside from the fact that most people on the planet knew who he was. Troy Armitage was considered the biggest superstar of the current generation, and the richest as well. So for him to be interested in their company was a little unprecedented. “What’s the matter, Reed?” Troy broke his silence. “I think we can all agree that the valuation of $2.5 billion that I’m offering is quite generous for…

“Thank you for coming here to see me,” I said, shaking hands with the man in front of me. John Landis gave me a nod. “It’s okay. I’ll do anything for my film. It’s my baby.” There was something in the way he said it that made me feel a little uncomfortable in his presence. Nonetheless, I indicated for him to take a seat on the couch opposite me. “So,” I began after a few moments of silence, “Why do I have a feeling that you came here not just to discuss the script with…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
- “Here’s to a successful first day of shooting!” Randal Kleiser raised a toast as we all gathered around the bonfire, our faces flickering in the warm glow of the flames. “Cheers!” I echoed the sentiment along with the rest of the cast and crew, lifting my glass of champagne high before taking a generous sip. The bubbles tickled my throat, and the sense of celebration was contagious. Beside me, Julie raised a coconut water instead, holding it a bit hesitantly. “You're overthinking…

- “Oi! Wanker! I need those lights o’er here!” A man came rushing over with the lights toward the first AD, who was coordinating the crew on set. “Did he just call a crew member a wanker?” Tom asked in bewilderment. I shrugged. “Could be his nickname or something. I really don't wanna ask.” Tom laughed and shook his head. We admired the view of Northern England spread out before us. Away from the bustling environment of a big city like London, this was the real deal. Sure, the…
