Irene hangs up the phone, her eyes wide with shock and wonderment. Annie sits on the couch anxiously waiting to find out the other end of the conversation had to say. After all the phone call had been about her, she had a right to know.
"I can't believe it." Irene whispers.
"Why what did they say?"
"Annie you have already been booked on a tour." The squeals and screams of delight were deafening. This was big news. After only being a member of the RWJ label for 30 minutes Annie was in the big leagues.
"That's great!" Molly said for everybody.
"Yep by next Monday you'll be the opening act for Mad Max Trio." Now that was like being asked to open for the Beatles way back then.
"What!?" Annie screams but don't full of delight.
"What's wrong?"
"Incase you didn't know MMT is a boy band! I refuse to be in the venue with them!" Annie was sounding like a King unwilling to be seen with the people of his country.
"Sweetheart it's not everyday a person gets a chance like this." Molly tells her.
"No way in hell will I do that!"
"Watch your language young lady."
"Annie you don't have a choice. You sighed the contract."
"Come on I'm sure there's a way I can get out of it."
"Um no there's not. If you back down you'll be breaking the contract which could lead to legal actions from the company." Irene didn't have that degree in management for nothing. Annie jumps up from her seat, grabs the lamp and throws it across the room. And quickly does the same with the vase with two red roses, then is stopped by Ned before anything else can be destroyed.
"It's not fair! You're lying!" Can be heard from her mouth while Ned drags her kicking and screaming into the kitchen. The two women look at each other; perhaps Annie wasn't mature to handle this after all.
