Life was not how it used to be. Even though her best friend tried to convince her to continue the party lifestyle, Sasha was over it and it was pretty obvious. She went off the grid most of the time and she wasn’t active on social media as she used to be. Every now, she made a club appearance to pay her rent but nothing compared to the money she used to make as a party girl. However, she loved her new, quiet life away from the spotlight. Here’s where the story begins The Secret Life Of The Party Girl Part 1
People started to distance themselves from her once they noticed that she was no longer popular anymore. It was a lonely time in her life but she knew that she had to go through such moments if she wanted to change.
In her solitude, Sasha discovered her true potential. She had a knack for politics. When she wasn’t blasting music from morning to night, she would watch news channels and follow political debates keenly. She had mingled with many politicians throughout her party life but hadn’t paid much attention to it until now. However, when she was younger, she always looked forward to watching the news with her father. It was one of her favourite childhood memories.
Her interest in politics continued to grow to the point that she started making commentaries on certain issues through a pseudo-account. She was particularly obsessed with local politics and was a big fan of a popular political commentator.
“Enjoying the live streams. Keep it up.” She commented on one of his videos.
Her comments and contributions eventually caught the political commentator’s attention and he reached out to her.
“Hi. I’m glad you enjoy my content. I’m Mike. What’s your name?” The message read.
As soon as she saw the message, she let out a loud scream and replied immediately.
“How can I not like your content? You’re the politics guy. You can call me Jane Doe.” She answered cheekily.
“I’m actually looking for a research assistant and I’ve noticed that you have very good takes. Would you like the position?”
Sasha couldn’t believe it. Such an opportunity could finally allow her to quit her party lifestyle completely and establish a career. However, she was hesitant since if Mike found out her real identity, he wouldn’t be happy about it. He had been very vocal and critical about the rise of a generation of women who thought life was one big party.
“I would love that.” She replied.
“Great. I’ll set up a Zoom meeting so we can talk and you can meet the rest of the team.
In a panic, she called her friend to help her figure out how she would attend the meeting.
“Just tell them that your camera doesn’t work.”
“That will give them a bad impression of me.”
“Okay, what if I pretend that I’m you? No one really knows me.”
“That could work. Be here by 9 am on Thursday.”
As she was setting up her laptop, her friend knocked on the door and she rushed to open it for her.
“It’s almost time. I wrote these notes for you but in case they ask you anything else, just wing it.”
“I got you.”
She did have Sasha’s back. Hunny was the only friend that she had left and she had proved to be a real one. Since Sasha moved to her new apartment, she helped her settle in and feel less lonely. She also didn’t betray her friend by airing her dirty laundry on social media like many would have done.
The meeting went incredibly well and Sasha was given the job.
“It’s an entry-level position so the best we can offer you is Ksh 50,000,” Mike said.
The price shocked both Sasha and Hunny. It was a fraction of what she would get in her club appearances. However, she knew that she had to make a lot of sacrifices if she wanted to live a new life.
She agreed to take the position and started working with Mike the following day.
“This is amazing. Keep it up.” Mike emailed her after going through her notes.
It was a full circle moment since only a few months ago, Sasha had left the same comment on one of Mike’s videos.
**************************************************************
She had been working with the team for nearly 5 months and Mike decided to organize a team-building workshop for everyone.
“Attendance is compulsory.” He wrote in the email.
This time, Sasha decided to go by herself. She had been working with the team for a while and had established a good relationship with them so she thought that nothing could go wrong.
When she got there, she quickly realized that she had made a huge mistake. They all recognized her immediately and she could see the look of shock on their faces.
“Are you Badgirl Sasha?” One of the employees asked.
She nodded yes and everyone went into a frenzy. They all scrambled to take a picture with her and it took Mike’s intervention to calm them down.
“What are you doing here? This is a private event.”
“I’m Jane Doe.” She revealed and everyone gasped.
“I’ve met Jane Doe and she’s not you.”
“That was my friend. I asked her to attend the meeting on my behalf.”
“So, is your work even your own?” Mike asked.
“Yes, that’s my original work.”
“You know that our reputation will be destroyed if anyone finds out that the Badgirl Sasha is one of our employees.”
“No one has to know. I’ve managed to keep it a secret for 5 months and I can continue until everyone forgets about my past party life.” She explained.
The rest of the team was fully on board with having Sasha around. After all, she had proved herself as a valuable member of the team. Mike, however, was still not convinced.
“How will anyone find out if none of us leaks the information?” One of the employees said.
“We’re a family. No one can leak this.” Another one chimes in.
“I guess they have a point. We are a family and I trust everyone in this team to keep it a secret. However, I don’t like the lies so I expect full transparency from now on.” He said.
Mike put her on probation until she proved that she could maintain a low profile. Sasha officially became part of the team after a year. She managed to escape her party-girl reputation and reinvent herself as a reputable political writer.
