Ep4
Brooks and Samantha arrived at the music studio
Samantha
I mean it, you're not off the hook yet...
Sam stopped speaking and stared at the person in front of Brooks like she had seen a ghost
Samantha
Don't look now but look what the cat dragged in
Perplexed, Brooks looked over her shoulder to see none other than her arch nemesis
Maggie
Hah! Isn't that the fake Prada wearing understudy of mine?
Samantha
If there's anything fake here, then it's those hair extensions of yours
Samantha
Don't think everyone here doesn't know that much about you
Maggie
I see she still has her dog with her, can't you place her on a leash or something?
Maggie
Come on, I'm back from my tour aren't you glad to see me?
At this point, Brooks was forcing the politeness out of her mouth
The last thing she needed was for the main boss to scold her for being hostile
Samantha
I hear you were dropped, that's why you're back early
Brooks
Come now Sam, it isn't nice to rub salt in other's wounds. She must still be horrified by that performance she gave in front of all those people
Brooks decided to throw politeness out the window
Maggie
Haha...how would an understudy like you know any better?
Maggie
Your entire existence hinges on whether or not I catch a cold
Just then, an elderly looking man walked into the conversation, using a cane to support his weight
Mr Ivanka
I'm so glad you accepted my offer to return
Mr Ivanka
Your spot has been waiting for you
Maggie
Things must have been quite...dull since I wasn't here to play the cello
Samantha couldn't hold back on the sarcasm
Mr Ivanka
Don't you have a class to teach Miss Samantha?
Sam wanted to say something, but Brooks rested her hand on her shoulder
She sent her a reassuring smile and used her eyes to urge her friend to leave.
Samantha reluctantly left to teach her students, but not after sending a hard glare at Maggie, warning her to back off Brooks
Brooks
You said something about Maggie's spot in the orchestra?
Mr Ivanka
since she's back, it's only makes sense that she retains her former position as lead cello player
Brooks
But, what about me?
Mr Ivanka
You can resume being her understudy
Mr Ivanka
That way, you can spend more time teaching your students
Maggie
Exactly. A pro like me can't be caught dead teaching kids
Brooks
That isn't quite fair!
Maggie
The only thing you earned was my leftovers
Maggie
Now that I'm back I'll be taking everything that's mine
Brooks was about to explode, she was at her limit with her boss and Maggie
Mr Ivanka
If you do well, I'll look into letting you both switch leads
Maggie
You don't expect a high class musician like me to share the spotlight with her?
Maggie
Three top tier magazines have already interviewed me
Brooks
They interviewed the orchestra! Not you
Mr Ivanka
Anyway, if you prove that you are skilled, then I'll maybe give you a chance
Mr Ivanka looked at us both then turned to take his leave, leaving both women alone
Maggie walked in front of Brooks and held her by the collar
Maggie
You are going to regret your job here
Brooks
I don't think so sister
And with that she let go of Brooks and left, carelessly using her long hair to slap her in the face
Author: Both women competing for a top spot in the orchestra!
Author: But is that the only thing they're going to chase after?
