Flashes from all directions. Paparazzi. Interviewers. Press. All struggling to push past the dividers that had been put up between her and them. Begging for poses. Begging for their questions to be answered. Hundreds of cameras and microphones just in arms reach.
Of course, it wasn't Evelyn that their attention was on. It was Miss Astra Yao; singer and actress, and one of the most famous in all of New Eridu. It was Evelyn's job to not only act as her manager, but also her personal bodyguard.
And sometimes it was a real headache. The celebrity was young. Naive. Bad at disguising herself in public, and liked to run off on adventures without much more than a quick text. But Evelyn- being the mature woman she was, had the patience to deal with it. Not to mention, Astra was the only family she had; and regardless of her sometimes less than careful nature, Evelyn would do anything to keep her safe.
Though, that wasn't her true responsibility... not at all. Evelyn was an elite spy working for "The Orginization", employed by the company Fugue to infiltrate the inner circle of rival company Odeum; of which Astra was an asset of. That was her true identity as codename "Scheele's Green". As much as it hurt her to keep it secret from Astra...
One of Astra's biggest and best selling shows was about to begin. Having fought back the photographers, she and Astra climbed the stairs that would lead up to the auditorium of Starloop Tower.
Later that night after the show, Evelyn was in her office tending to Astra's schedules and deadlines. She would be sure to set exactly fifteen deadlines; since Astra managed to miss ten last time.
A knock at her door withdrew her attention from the papers.
"Come in."
As the door creaked open, she quickly responded to what she expected the person's question would be.
"Ms. Yao is currently enjoying her private time and will not be taking any interviews. So no, you cannot see her at the moment."
