My brother kept calling and calling, it was bugging the shit out of me and Dan, so he answered and agreed on my behalf to a meeting. I came down the steps and faced my husband.

"I will see you at W as soon as I deal with Charles and his annoying phone calls." he nodded and we kissed. I took my leave and 45 minutes later I walked into the restaurant where Charles was waiting. He stood upon seeing me.

"Thanks for coming. I've requested a quiet table...." I cut him off

"I'm not staying. I only came to tell you to stop calling Mom and I."

"I know I said some terrible things, but let me explain."

"As your sister I've tolerated and been okay with most of the things you've done over the years. Including abandoning me twice. Valentine's Day was the last straw."

"Russell Thorpe set me up."

"I don't care anymore. You will always be a child pining for Daddy's approval. You constantly are bitter about how he treated us differently but never understood. I am a fighter, I always have been. Dad respected me because no matter what mistakes I made, I made them and I fixed them."

"So you're gonna side with him? This guy is trying to steal our company."

"Your company, you iced me out and had Mom fired. Now, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to leave and you never contact Mom and me again." I slapped him and walked away. I got into the limo and waited, my brother joined me.

"the slap was a nice touch, Oscar worthy."

"You deserved it and as usually hitting you is very satisfying." I comment taking out my compact and lip gloss.

"Rosie, once again. I'm sorry. I feel like a fool for ever believing Russell over you and Lily." he apologised

"I'm not bothered, Charles. I'm only helping you because it's fathers legacy on the line." I applied my lipgloss. "I'm sure he's dumb enough to approach me and I will send him to Mom."

"Rosie."

"Enough, I'm bored with this conversation. Arthur." I brought down the divide "Will you take me to W offices please." he gave a curt nod and we pulled away. 10 minutes later we pulled up and I got out then leant back in "You want more help getting out of your mess. Ask Mom. I headed up and found Dan and Blair talking.

"Separated man from beast yet."

"Rosie, my best friend. Tell your oaf of a husband to stop distracting me. I'm busy."

"All I said was that if she wanted help she had to admit she needs us."

"Riiiight. okay I'm just gonna sit here and do nothing, watch you burn out then." I plop down on one seat.

"Rosie. Surely as my best friend you would help me, right."

"You wouldn't want that, this is your dream and me helping would be taking this over. I'm just gonna supervise till you ask Dan for help since you two are slowly becoming friends." My phone rang.

"Hello."

"Rosalie, Russel Thorpe." I rolled my eyes "I was wondering if you'd be willing to talk."

"Not interested try my mother." I hung up. My job was done. I watched as Blair continued to suffocate under the stress, I did feel bad but I was right I had a system that would to her be like I was taking over. I picked up a file and scanned threw it before dropping it back on her pile.

"Do you have Bryn Harold?" Blair asked "Well, then take off your shoes and chase her down, because I need that opera." we saw someone standing at the door. "As a front of book idea. They're doing Boris Godunov this spring who doesn't love Tsars and Cossacks?"

"Seems like a better concept for fall, but I'll run it by the group."

"Ready to admit you need my help?" Dan wondered drinking his coffee.

"Never. No 'never' isn't what he transitioned Spain into, it's modernism. And don't get caught talking during a test." Blair went to pick up her coffee but picked up a stationary pot instead

"When was the last time you slept?" I ask

"Sleep is for the weak. Besides I know why your here, you're here to distract me."

"It was our intention now we're just waiting for you to crack. Which you will and because your my best friend, we will then save the day. But first you need to admit you need help." I shrug twirling a pen between my fingers.

"Stefano said to research the opera. And what's the ETA on today's blog post?" she looked back at her desk

"Within the hour."

"Blair if you take on one more thing you're gonna break." just then Serena and Eric came in.

"Blair we need your help with a scheme." Serena states

"She can't maybe I can help."

"Uh, I can. New Paragraph. The Nude Maja began Goya's separation from religious iconography." Blair recited

"What are you two doing here?" Serena asked

"We're leaving. This just went from woman on the verge to saw 2. I don't like gore porn." Dan commented and I laughed.

"Blair assumes she's just gonna get help but she has yet to properly ask for it. Good Luck." The two of us went to get something to eat from downstairs.

"I do feel a little bad, but I know the only way this day is gonna go is if she bottoms out." I sigh

"I give it within the hour." he says

"Please have a little faith. I give it two. 20 dollars?" we shook hands ad waited. half hour later we both got text to come back. We walked back in.

"It's about time." she commented

"You texted us like two minutes ago. We were down stairs getting sandwiches. What's so urgent?" Dan asks

"I wanted to tell the two of you, that you were right. About that thing." Dan and I share fake confused looks

"Which thing was that?"

"I, Blair Waldorf, need Dan and Rosie's Humphrey's help." she admitted damnit I lost.

"As a friend and not as underlings." Dan replied

"As a friend and peer not my underling." she mumbled

"Sorry what was that?" I smile and she huffs

"As a friend and peer not my underling." she repeats

"Culinary crisis in Features." We turned around "Ted's got a lead on rare white truffles in Tuscany. We need you." Blair went to leave

"Where do we start?" I ask

"Everything you need is on my desk." she left and we headed over

"I'll take this urgent thing." I sat down at the desk

"Okay, see you soon." I gave him a quick kiss clicked my fingers and got to work. I began on the file that I looked at earlier and did what I needed to do, I then made my way though the stack of them making various phone calls and e-mails where necessary. Blair came back an hour later shocked

"How did you..."

"I worked for Elle magazine for three months bestie. The fear alone being fired for not doing things toot sweet made me learn new talents in moving fast. Your work load is now cut in half. You are most welcome now I'm taking these two post it notes and sorting them out. Ciao." I left to do my other two tasks.
