Sly As A Fox

Kelly's POV

"What's the problem?" I coldly asked Hayley after I reached the studio. She's now panicking. Her assistant called me saying there's a problem involving

Lexi, our new model and our professional make-up artist.

I tried so hard to ignore what she said. I took a deep breath and looked her in the eyes. "Act like a professional, Lexi."

"I am professional, Kelly. I just don't like your stupid make-up artist."
