The Diary Of A Summer Well Lived

Chapter 20

At last, she finally started talking about her business and how she was making use of all the new resources that she had just bought and reckoned that her proximity to being the first ever millionaire in the group was very little

Everyone in that group gasped and we're surprised by the fact that she had reached the high level of being a millionaire. Evidently Maya and her mum weren't impressed at all because they both knew that Maya's mum was now a billionaire. But seeing everyone be so obsessed by Mrs Collen almost BEING a mere millionaire and not a Multi Millionaire, Maya faced her mom and thought that it was high time that she let the group know who the boss really was.

Maya: Furiously "Mom! O think it's high time that the HUGE success of you company be known to the ton. Because not only will it sky rocket your brand when people find out that you're a Multi Millionaire and will use the appropriate materials needed, it will also gain you more popularity and your brand could really use popularity right now. So I urge you to take this opportunity of the huge cameras and people we have here to announce your brand, make yourself proud, make YOUR mom proud and make your company and team proud."

Mrs Scatts: " I am touched by your words daughter" Takes a deep breath"I also think it's high time to announce it, no matter WHO it may piss off or upset. I owe it to my brand, family and especially my team who have worked hard to get it here"

For context: Mrs Scatts brand is a makeup brand beauty brand called"Sweet n Sleek". Because of their development together Mrs Collen and Mrs Scatts had the idea of having a beauty company together but executed it in different ways. AnD ever since then, there has always being a little competition between both of them, but since they were best friends, they've never really cared about it, but in 2019 Mrs Collen's company, Ecocushion, got an award for being the best new beauty brand in the whole world and ever since then, the competitive tension between them had risen but now that Mrs Scatts had become the first one to become a Multi Millionaire company, she felt like she was in competition with herself and not with anyone from that moment on. Because she felt like she had proved something to herself by working that hard.

Mrs Scatts: Uses her fork to bang her glass and goes "Attention!" Moves forward to the birthday speaker panel which was in the center of the birthday party and says "I need all your attention on this" And they all look at her "I am sorry for this rapid call of all your attentions and I definitely do not want to steal my friends shine on her big day" Looks at Mrs Collen's eyes while she smiles and then continues " I just want to take this moment to appreciate my one and only dazzling, young, 40 years and still counting best friend" People laugh "We have always been there for each other through thick and thin, we've always had ourselves backs, which is why every year that I count a new year with her I always get so emotional, because it is certainly not easy having to be a mother and a businesswoman so effortlessly, but she does it" People applaud her and at that moment Mrs Collen was ENJOYING the applause and accolades that people were giving to her.

Mrs Scatts: "So I want to use this moment to thank her for being such a powerful and amazing person, we've grown so much together since teenagers, we've also now successfully grown our OwN teenagers" While she points out to Lisa, Maya and Franclon and everyone clapped as the kids stood up and blew kisses to both their mothers. "So–"

Woman 1: "So is there any important news from your side? Or have you just decided to waste our time with this pathetic speech"

Woman 4: "I doubt there is anything good coming from her, she has been hiding in Mrs Collen's shadow all these years, if not for Mrs Collen her brand wouldn't exist anymore" Laughs hysterically.

Mrs Collen: Laughs hysterically too "Ohh, you guys are so funny!"

Mrs Scatts: Yells and gets everyone's attention "I didn't want to say it" Looking at woman 2 and 4 "But since you both want to know I won't thirst your gossip well." Everybody laughs "So in the past 2 years "Sweet and Sleek" made huge profits on her new powder and some old products–anyways. Due to this, we are now, or I am now, whatever you want to, I am now...." Silence filing everywhere "I am now a Multi Millionaire company owner and a Multi Millionaire 😜 myself" And then suddenly there was clapping and a standing ovation with camera 📸 📸 snapping everywhere.

And there she was, standing in her red velvet dress with a drink in her while she was clapped for, saluded and greeted. It…was her "I Made It" moment. Ever since she told her husband her "Good News" to whom she thought was going to be the happiest for her and then reacted bad to it, she had carried it around like it was a bad thing but seeing how they reacted she almost started crying but then bowed and went to her sit.

Everyone was stunned to speak and in just a few minutes after the declaration, Sweet and Sleek was going viral and everyone was asking about the CEO. And in just a while the party was over and everyone went to their respective homes. As soon as Maya and her mom got home they took off their shoes and ate cheesecake on the sofa together before taking off their makeup and going to bed. After the very stressful end of the school week, Maya was happy to happy to go to sleep and rest her brains, but then there was a tap on her window and when she opened it, it was Franklon.
