People stop and stare as Eris Juarez leaves the Zire Empire building. With her model-worthy walk, her yellow plaid dress, and her million-dollar bag and sunglasses, she sure gets all the eyes and attention. She has long, brunette, and wavy hair that bounces in so much volume. She's petite, beautiful, and tall. She perfectly embodies a barbie doll except that her hair is brunette instead of blonde.

As she walks away, her assistant, Jared Torres, is following her.

"I said I am not going!" Eris said frustratedly.

"Eris, of course, you have to be there!" Jared said.

"Geez, you’re irritating. Tell me why I have to be there then," She said before sipping from her frappe.

"It's your 27th birthday and aside from that, it will be the day that the CEO position will be given to you,"

"You can claim the CEO position if you want," She stopped walking to face him.

"Because I am not going and that's final," She said before hopping in her limousine.

Jared sighed defeatedly when the car left. Just as he thought his day was ruined, his friends Primo and Zach walked to him. They came from the Zire Empire building too and when they saw Jared frowning, right then, they knew it was about Eris again.

"Caffeine for stress," Primo said before handing him a take-out coffee.

"I swear, Eris will be the reason for my death," He said and his friends chuckled in return.

"We will figure something out. We'll do anything to make sure that Eris will be there at the event," Primo said.

"Do anything? Like what?" Jared asked and Primo shrugged his shoulders before sipping from his coffee.

"Should we just punch her and make her faint so that we could bring her to her own freaking birthday party?" Jared asked.

"That will be Plan B," Primo said and chuckled.

Eraniah Isabelle Juarez aka Eris is the only heir to Emmanuel Juarez's wealth. The upcoming event that Jared is stressing about is the company's anniversary and will also be the day that her father will announce Eris as CEO. She thinks that there's no reason for her to attend the event. First, she hates her father and not attending the event will definitely humiliate him and second, Eris is the youngest CEO of her very own franchise. She won't need her father's legacy because she makes her own name. She has her own brand, she owns buildings, and she's even dating Javier Ramirez.

"How's your brother these days?" Jared asked when they entered the coffee shop.

"He's well," Primo replied. "He's agitated about his planned proposal," He said, which brought surprise to their faces.

"He's planning to propose?!" Jared asked in disbelief.

"Yup. He wants to propose right at her birthday,"

"Fuck, Eris badly needs to attend the event then. We have to convince her to come without having to spoil Javier's surprise,"

"God," Jared groans.

"I'll sure have a tough weekend," Jared said and Primo chuckled as he tapped his friend's shoulder.

"It will not just be tough," Primo says. "It will be a hell of a chaos," He added and chuckled.

"It will be like persuading Deadpool to join x-force," Zach says as he joins the conversation.

"You two are not helping at all,"

"Deadpool is part of x-force already," Primo said, disagreeing with Zach.

"Fuck! You spoiler piece of shit!" Zach said as he covered his ears.

"Shut your mouth!" He exclaimed.

"Vanessa died," Primo teased

"What's deadpool?" Jared asked. His friends looked at him, obviously disappointed that he didn't have any idea of such a good movie.

"Damn," Zach says.

"You must be really stressed out about Eris that you don't have the spare time to watch movies," He said as he tapped Jared's shoulder to console him.

"Dude, I can't even get a six-hour sleep,"

"Aw, poor boy," Zach and Primo said in unison.

"Why don't you just resign?" Zach asked.

"Nah,"

"Why not?"

"Eris pays me insanely enough. I have three sisters in college and a sick dad," Jared tells himself.

"I cannot quit my job. I need the fucking money," Jared said with emphasis to motivate himself.

"Yeah, you do bro," Zach replied.

"I can't quit," Jared said.

"You can't,"

"I need to stay by the devil's side," Jared said and Primo can't help but laugh as he watches the two.

"Oh, here's our lunch," Zach said cheerfully as the waiter approached them.

"Thank you," Primo told the waiter.

"How about giving Eris a little hint about the proposal?" Zach asked as he unwrapped his burger.

"For sure she'll come," He added.

"No, you can't spoil my brother's plan. He planned it for months and he's so excited about it," Primo said, obviously disagreeing with Zach.

"What about Primo's plan B then?" Jared suggested.

"What's his Plan B?" Zach asked, confused.

"Punch Eris, make her faint, and drag her to the event," Primo said and Zach burst out laughing in return.

"Dude!" Zach said it between chuckles.

"That is a fantastic idea!" Zach said. "I'll punch her, I'll do it," He brags as flexes his biceps.

"No, plan B is canceled," Primo said as he shook his head.

"What? Why?" Zach asked, obviously disappointed.

"I can't have my brother's soon to be fiance look like a panda,"

"Dude, that is the least of your problems because even if Eris is a panda, she’ll be a gorgeous one. Eris is never ugly, you know," He said.

"Yeah," Jared agrees.

"For someone who's worked with Eris for years, I goddamn swear in the name of the Lord, she is never ugly," Jared added.

"Well, Javier is one lucky bastard," Zach said, letting out a deep sigh before taking a huge bite from his burger.

Jared Torres is Eris' angel in disguise. Jared works for Eris as her assistant but his job is beyond more than checking her schedule and setting up appointments. He cleans her mess and he corrects her mistakes. Jared stayed up late so that she could sleep early. He's always stressed out so that Eris is always at peace. Jared is the angel and his boss is the complete opposite.

Eris does what she wants and she certainly gets what she wants. She's a brat. No, scratch that. She's not that usual childish brat.

She is evil.

And she's dating Javier Ramirez.

Javier Ramirez is that guy who's straight-up from movies. He is that perfect and kind guy who never ends up with the female lead. He's strikingly handsome, smart, and undeniably rich. Javier has a younger brother named Primo Ramirez.

Primo is not perfect. He might be as handsome and as rich as his brother is but he is far from his level in any other categories. Primo is involved in any trouble that you can imagine. Aside from being chased with trouble, he's also chased by women all the time. With his undeniable good looks, he can date ten different ladies in just a month yet no matter how many girls he dined with, none of them ever made an impression on him. Primo does all the troubles that he gets into with his best buddy, Zach Montero.

"How about we put Eris inside a duffel bag and just drag her to the event?" Zach suggested.

"Oh wait," He stops as if he realized something.

"Can she fit in a duffel bag?" He asked himself.

They are currently in Primo's car since they decided to have drinks at his place to help Jared brush off his worries but no matter how much Jared wants to forget Eris, the walking radio just won't stop talking.

"Zach, can you just shut up for one minute, please?" Jared asked.

"But I'm trying to help you he--FUCK!" They stopped talking when Primo suddenly slammed the car brakes.

[ BRAKES SCREECH ]

They were all frozen and surprised when they felt something bump in front of them.

"Shit! Did you just hit a goddamn person?!" Zach asked in disbelief. Primo stayed frozen on his seat. His pupils are shaking and he's starting to feel anxious. He was sure that he hit something.

"I think I fucking did,"

"Fuck!" Zach groaned and Jared looked displeased.

The three of them unbuckled their seatbelts and hopped off the car to check what happened. Their mouth gasps to see a girl lying on the floor next to a blue scooter.

"Shit," Primo whispered. He was about to help the girl when she suddenly moved.

They flinched because they thought she was unconscious. Struggling and groaning in pain, she tried to stand up to face the guys. They felt a sense of relief to find that she's not in a bad condition. She looked fine except for the few cuts and scratches on her skin.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" She asked angrily as she looked up.

"I'm so sorr--" Primo froze when he saw the girl's face. It is as if he just saw a ghost.

"What the?" He asked himself.

"Am I hallucinating right now?" Jared asked.

"Holy shit. Why the fuck do you look exactly like Eris Juarez?" Zach asked in disbelief.
