I woke up around 11am. What happened? I know I had a rough night with alcohol after a very disappointing talk with Shayne. My head was throbbing and don't even remember how I got home. Time slipped and had to produce my next project in a few hours. I got my lazy ass up and took a shower. While taking the shower the memories of Shayne creep in my head. I got dressed and made my way to the set. There's my staff as I see sponsors and advertising partners waiting for me. I made my way to my staff.
You guys ready? Get Raiyven prepared it's almost showtime. We got to make an impression. So go get her and let's do this thing.
I made my way back and sat in my chair. Time to see if Raiyven can rock. My eyes hurt and felt unsure about things personally. Perhaps the commercial and making a statement may get my mind off of things.

Raiyven was dolled up as each commercial she did made her more comfortable. She walks out and sees a very concerned Shawn. She turns to Tatiana.
How is he? He looks worn out.
Tatiana: He's been through hell. There are some high rollers. Making an impression was what he said. You gotta pull off a miracle. Good luck!
I see? I'll do my best.
Raiyven walks by Shawn and gives a concerned look with a fake smile. She was unsure if she could pull it off. Pressure of making a statement overwhelmed her. She was nervous and more so because of Shawn and his reputation as a producer. She takes a deep breath as the director screams "Action." Raiyven begins to work out as the camera fades in to her face as she opens the energy drink and kills it.
When you've had a long day and need a quick boost of energy. Do what I do and get "Energized" with Energize!
The camera fades as the director screams "cut" and "that's a wrap." The advertisers and consultants looked happy. Looks like I did a good job. Raiyven spans the room as she walks off the set and walk to my chair near Tatiana.

Wow!
The business partners were impressed. I walked over and shook hands. The commercial was a huge hit. It was clear that Raiyven could sell anything. I had to go and congratulate her. I walked over and patted her on her back.
Great job! They were impressed. I am wondering why you didn't do this earlier. Hey look um those advertisers want you to do other things. There is one who is the biggest company when it comes to personal hygiene products. They want you. They want to do a more detailed commercial. Can you see it? This could be your big break to go into other things. They want me to produce and line it up. I know you wanted to do sports line products but this could be a large deal. I need to go talk business but I'm proud of you.
I left and started talking to the advertisers about the potential deal with myself and my staff with Raiyven as the lead. The talks went well but I had to sell it with Raiyven. I walked back to her.
Hey Raiyven. They want us. What do you say? Let's ink this deal. It's a multi commercial deal that's gonna be a multi million dollar contract. This opportunity doesn't come around everyday.

Raiyven was in a bad place. She didn't want to do those type of commercials. She wanted to do only sports style commercials. Shawn had fire about it and could see he was looking better than he did a few nights ago. Raiyven had to be honest with him though.
Shawn I don't know? It's not my thing. It means acting around others and I know I'll feel uncomfortable. Not to mention its body products. The money looks good but I'm working in BWA and in a few months I'll be leaving and headed back to California. I know you want to do it but I'm not sold on it. I do appreciate you giving me a huge opportunity. I'm very thankful for everything. I just don't want to sell myself in a way that isn't me ya know?
Shawn I'm concerned for you my friend. I don't want to see something take the place of something else. Are you alright? You looked really bad the other night and a few hours ago. Now you're doing handsprings. You're my friend and I think this could be more for you than me? I hope I'm stepping over my bounds as your friend but I'm worried about your health.

I didn't want to talk about my personal problems in the studio. I needed this but it only happens if Raiyven does it.
Okay I understand Raiyven. How about I invite those advertisers for a business dinner. You hear what they got to say. You decide after you hear the pitch? That sound fair enough? Once they're gone then we can talk about me becoming your agent slash producer of your work. Besides I need to talk to a woman about my personal problems. Think it will do me some good. Someone I trust in a private setting. Just don't want to do it here or have my business the talk of the town. Fair enough?

Raiyven nodded her head yes.
Sorry Shawn. We can do the dinner. There's much I want to say. There's much I'll listen respectfully. I believe you'll understand my decision afterwards. I'm your friend and will honor your wishes. Since we're done, I'm gonna take a shower and enjoy my afternoon. I'll see you tonight. Just text me the time & location. I'll be there.
I wanted to say more but he was right. His life was his life. I walked out and took my shower and got dressed. I left the studio and enjoyed the afternoon waiting on Shawn to let me know when and where the business dinner was going to be.

I sent Raiyven a text to set up the dinner with our advertisers. I had preordered some appetizers as I see Raiyven walk in.
Well it's the girl of the hour. The one that makes the wheel turn. Raiyven these three men can change our lives. The first man is Mr. Mathison. He is one of the largest suppliers of international perfumes and cosmetics. Only the top names can afford his products. Very high key and he wants you to do a commercial and be his face for his products. Next to him is Mr. Nichols. He is the President and CEO of one of the largest toothpaste and mouthwash companies in the world. He has a desire to make you a very rich woman. Last but not least is Miss Jacobs. She designs top line clothing for the elite and famous. Anything from heels to jeans. She usually uses models from around the world and now she wants you.
Raiyven this is a great opportunity. We will have a lot of room for the commercial. It will mean you interacting with others in it. It will show the feminine side and promote you and these products. How about I give each one a moment to sell their product. Mr. Mathison we'll start with you.
Miss Raiyven let me say we've been looking at you for a while. You've become a huge celebrity in your profession and now it has open doors for you. I'll be honest I was skeptical about your acting but after seeing your last commercial I'm sold. Here at "Glamouous" we want to have a line of products named after you. Your own perfume and cosmetic line. People love you and we want to start instantly. You'll have control of the scent and colors but we need you to start immediately. Doing some short commercials and touring our biggest international cities. You got to look sexy as women need that and we know if it appeals to women then it will sell. I'm leaving the commercial in the hands of your producer and agent. What do you say?

Raiyven entered and shook their hands as she sat down to listen. She decided to listen to them all before she would respond.
Sounds interesting but please you guys finish. I'd like to hear everyone before I answer.

I was in agreement but was hopeful their spill would change her mind.
That's so cool Mr. Mathison. Next let's hear from Mr. Nichols.
Raiyven it's so good to finally meet you. Just like my other competitor, we at "Dental Vision" have a great opportunity for you. We make dental products and you see how we took a normal girl in Krissy Leary and now she's in big motion pictures. In fact, her most recent film she was nominated for multiple awards. Her life changed dramatically because we took a gamble and she rocketed afterwards. Our recent spokespeople have went on to bigger things. I've got a contract ready for you. You've got a beautiful smile and you got a chance to really bring another side of you. I've got ideas that I've ran by Shawn earlier. The question is are you willing to do what's best for business?
I liked the pitch and started to feel that things were moving right. I knew if anyone could sell things to Raiyven it would be another woman in Miss Jacobs.
Lastly we have Miss Jacobs
I'm hopeful I can sell my idea to you. I understand there are some clothing you won't do. I respect your decision. I won't even ask you to model our lingerie or swimsuit selection. I know you are a girl that loves jeans and shorts. I've seen you in heels and boots. When you walked in you came in with style. I just want to expand that style. Create your own line of clothing and accessories. Broadcast you in commercials and locations. You are a name that inspires our teenagers. Young girls need someone to inspire to. We are a business to make money but to impact a generation. Here at "Jacobs & Jacobs" we want to give you that influence. I believe you've made up your mind. I will speak for myself and feel the others will agree. You need time to think it over. Get with your agent and see if we can make it happen?
I saw the three advertisers get up and shake our hands as they left.

Raiyven shook their hands before turning to Shawn.
Come on Shawn? I'm not sure. I don't think I can act with a guy. They're probably gonna want me to kiss someone I don't know. I really am not comfortable with that. I won't do it or wear things that aren't things I generally wear. The deals look good and I know it can boost my career outside the ring. I know I need you to be there if I do it. Not just produce and watch from a distance or at other projects. You want me to do it? I'll do it but only if you're there to give me confidence.

I knew this was going to stretch her.
I'll do it. I'm here to be your agent first and everything else second. So I'll be there for you. You'll be great. So I've got contracts for you. One is for me to be your agent. Gives me rights to set up marketing opportunities for you. The other contracts are for those companies. The commercials average a million per commercial as I get ten percent. It's a win win Raiyven.

Raiyven signs all 4 contracts.
I trust you to look after my best wishes. You trust me? You need to. I'm concerned for you Shawn. You got sick drunk and I took you home. I put you in bed before I left. What's going on Shawn? I know you're going through a mess with your wife. I just don't like seeing you like that. You're too good of a person to allow alcohol to control your life.

I took the contracts and exhaled with relief.
Of course you can trust me and I trust you. I was unaware how I got home and now I know. I'm actually ashamed of it really. Yeah I'm legally separated. I got the document when I went home this morning after your commercial. My wife is going to divorce me after seven years. It's difficult. Especially when she's married to me but very cozy with another man. She tells me she hasn't slept with him but I find that hard to believe with Ethan.
Raiyven that's why I need to keep busy. I need something to keep my mind occupied. I know I can't let her or him force me into drinking. Hell I don't even drink. Even though right now I want one. Not because of my potential divorce but because of our business arrangement. The more we work the easier it will be. I got a call from my attorney today and heard my wife has filed for divorce. I've got to go and see what she wants. I don't want the divorce and gonna fight it. May not do me any good but not willing to buckle down to her when I didn't do anything wrong.

Shawn you're hurting. You feel deceived and that's understandable. You've been busy and I've worked for you for 6 months. When did you stop to have time for her? She's needy no doubt but when a woman's man is not around then she's gonna find what makes her happy. In her case, she needs attention and she got it. She also sees you with beautiful actresses on the red carpet while she's second and sometimes third fiddle. I don't agree with her but I understand.
Was a time when I was involved and saw another woman pick up the broken pieces. I used to hate her for it but I got over it. You'll have to do that in time. It's not easy and never is. I thought I could never love anyone like Nate. I had to love myself and when I did it made me not having him a much better feeling. I'll always love him but looking now I'm in a better place because I started loving me for me. It's not easy Shawn. I'm not saying don't fight. If you love her then start by loving yourself. You do that everything else will fall in place. I'm your friend and now your my agent. I'll do what's best for you as you'll do what's best for me.
Don't you think if you do these things you'll be better? I can say tonight could be a night where you begin loving yourself and becoming who you should be. It was a great night for us financially. How about emotionally? Call me if you need a woman's point of view. Now I gotta go before I start crying. Come over here and hug me my friend.

I knew she was right. I had to love myself if I was ever gonna love Shayne.
You're right. I need to love me for me. I also gotta be ready in case she goes through with the divorce. I'm happy to see things open for you. Get ready you got a lot coming your way.
I walked over and gave her a hug. A lot of pressure came off of me because of it. I started crying as it was something I needed before the healing process could begin. I didn't want to cry but my emotions of losing something overwhelmed me.

Raiyven hugged tighter. Her hand went on the back of his head.
Let it out. Let it out. It's gonna be okay Shawn. You are a great guy and things will get better.
Raiyven takes her left hand and wipes his eyes.
Look at me Shawn. You are gonna be fine. With or without her. You're a winner. You deserve only the best. You hear me?
Raiyven hugs him one last time before she lets go.
You need me give me a call. You need to allow the healing process to take its course.
Raiyven smiles as she leaves. She had a huge match with Neon later in the week but knew Shawn needed her friendship more than anything else.
