General POV
Rachel stand there stunned at the person that she sees in front of her. She didn't think she would be able to see her again and not for a lack of trying. She has tried for years to get a hold of Santana and to talk to her to be able to just be near her.
"S-Santana... ummm i'm sorry, i thought this was the executives office." Rachel said looking very confused.
"It is. What are you doing here?"
"Well I had a meeting with one of the executive producers to see about the possibility to sign for this label." Rachel says still kind of nervous
"Well you're at the wrong office Miss. Berry so please turn around and go down the hall to the knock on the the third door to your left." Becky says before Santana can even say anything.
"Oh, I'm sorry i didn't realize you were busy. But by any chance could we talk after my meeting?" Rachel asked hopefully
"Sorry sweetheart but she'll be busy forever. Have a good day and Goodbye." Becky says as she closes the door on Rachel.
Santana looks over at becky very surprised at what just unfolded and also amused.
"Babe, what the hell was that?" Santana asked
"I don't like her Santana. Not just because of what you've told me about her but because i've read up on her and seen how much of a terrible person she is. There's also a lot more but Dani, Puck and I will have to sit with you and mention it all." Becky responds very seriously
"Okay... but this conversation will have to been soon because i feel there's a lot more to this." Santana kisses Becky on the cheek.
"We will babe, now lets get out of here and go grab some food. I'm starving and I want some tacos." Becky says while grabbing Santanas hand. She also wants to get her out of the building because she doesn't want her anywhere near Rachel.
Down the hall Rachel knocks on the door and is greeted by a very confused Dani.
"What are you doing here Rachel?"
"Oh Dani. I have a meeting with one of the executives. Could you fetch them for me?"
"Oh Rachel Rachel Rachel, You never change do you?" Dani laughed
"I'm not going to entertain this Dani. Do as i've asked please so that I can go about my day. I am a very busy person and would like to get this interview done and get other things done."
"Fine. Come in and take a seat. The executives will be with you in a few minutes."
Dani rushes out of her office and goes to find Puck and luckily Santana and Becky were also in there.
"Guys code Crazy!" Dani blurts out as she walks in. Puck stands up real quick and Becky looks frustrated. Santana is looking at them like they're crazy.
"What the hell are you talking about Dani? The fuck is a code crazy?! Someone tell me what the hell is going on!" Santana says.
All three of them are looking at each other and Santana is waiting for a response. Puck speaks up and asks Santana to take a seat and he starts to explain what happened from the moment Santana left the loft. Dani explains how Rachel had been trying to contact Santana all these years and how they managed to keep her away. Becky explains how Puck sat her down and showed her all the proof of Rachel being a crazy stalker and how Becky also tried her best to keep Rachel away from her when the other were busy.
"What the fuck.. wait so Quinn was right when she told me about Rachel being in love with me?" Santana feel likes Ross mom when she gets all that information in 30 seconds.
"Look San, I understand if you're mad or upset. But don't take it out on the girls. Honestly this was my idea. Seeing you broken that night fuckin killed me. I didn't know how to help you and when your phone started to go off I thought it was Quinn so i picked it up and i saw the calls and messages from Rachel. I screenshot them and sent them to myself. I deleted the messages and blocked her. I knew if you knew at that moment you would have done something you would regret later so I made the choice. I talked to Dani when she showed up and showed her everything, she explained to me what went down at the bar and we decided there was no way in hell we would allow Berry anywhere near you and we came up with Code Crazy. Becky found out later and she was on board and we just never told you, we figured she'd get tired over time but she just hasn't."
Puck say all this and all three are waiting for Santanas reaction. But she just seems confused and as if she's trying to put everything together.
"Why is she here?" Santana says after a few seconds.
"She has an interview because she's trying to sign with us. She brought a demo and everything except we didn't know it was her. Her agent gave us a different name and so she got past the screening. But I'm guessing her dumb ass didn't do her homework right because she asked me to get the executive. Jokes on her we're all here and she's just waiting in my office... oh Shit she's in my office!" Dani says
"That troll is never going to sign with us! Not after what she's done! We'll go in there and tell her off!" Santana said
"Not very wise mija..." Maribel said from the door.
"Mami she's crazy! We can't have her in this label!"
"I know she's crazy. What Noah left out was that your papi and I also knew. But if she's here is because she wants to be close to you. We can sign her but we can also put in her contract that she can't be near you and when she comes in she can't look for you. No colabs with you and she will have to sign a NDA where she can't go out and speak on anything that we don't allow her to. She'll be under our control."
All four look at each other and Puck and Dani agree. Santana is fuming but once she lets that information settle she speaks up.
"Fine. But all three of us interview her. I want mami in there as our lawyer and Becky as a witness. I don't want it to come off as if we're discriminating her. We make it professional and if she has good music we'll think about it. This will be the only time we speak with her privately. Any other time there will be people present. And I don't want her knowing Quinn is back in our lives. Let me handle that."
Everyone agrees and they walk out of Pucks office.
Rachel is annoyed because she has been sitting in the office for 40 minutes now and no one has even offered her a drink of water. She knows this this the work of Dani who she believes has never liked her and is just jealous of her. She's about to walk out when Mrs. Lopez walks in. Rachel has never met Santanas mom so she figures this is one of the executives.
"Good afternoon Miss Barbra. Would you please follow me to the conference room." Mrs. Lopez says
"Oh of course. I'm so sorry i guess the assistant that was in here didn't know where to put me or who to get." Rachel says as she follows her out.
"Oh no worries. Once we get into the conference room you will sit with all three executives. The resume your agent sent is very impressive i must say." Maribel opens the door to the conference room and all three chairs are facing away from the door.
"Please Miss Barbra. Let me introduce to you our three executive producers and founders of Mischief Nation."
The two chairs on each side turn first and its Puck and Dani and Rachel is left speechless.
"This must be a joke.." Rachel lets out
"I'd be careful of your next words Berry." Santana turns around.
"Take a sit Miss Barbra." Santana stands and points to her sit. "I hope you don't mind that our lawyer and our top artist will join us for this interview." Santana asks.
"Umm of course not. I apologize I did not know you three were the executive producers." Rachel states.
"Well Miss Barbra. Lets listen to your demo and we can talk about if it's a right fit for us." Puck says as he pushes play and the music is heard around the room.
The listen to a few song and they must admit that she sounds good and it would be good business for the record label. The whole time Santana is staring at Rachel with a look that could kill. Dani leans over and tells Santana to cool down and to think with her brain and not her emotions. Becky sends Santana a text stating what she wants to do to her later on and that seems to calm Santana and get her mind on something else.
"I must admit Miss. Barbra you have some good music. Here's my question why Mischief Nation?" Santana asks
"Well I respect every artist that has come up from this label and even though i could go to any other label i want to start here and be able to work with such fine people. I trust this label would do what's best for my career and would launch it even more than what it already is." Rachel speaks professionally
"Well as you can see this label has three executive producers and we make decisions together. We take any artist we sign on very seriously and we expect them to act and represent us in the best way. As you may be aware if you sign with us you would be under a contract and would have to fulfill it until it runs out." Dani says
"Yes I am aware of how a contract works and I would do my best to not bring the integrity of this label down." Rachel replies.
They sit there and talk for a few more minutes. They tell Rachel that they will be in contact with her agent and lawyer in the following days. The all stand up to shake her hand and as they start to walk out Santana is the only one left in the room.
"Santana, Can I speak with you please?" Rachels asks
"Miss. Barbra i think it would be inappropriate to have a private conversation with you." Santana states without look up from her phone.
"Santana please. Call me Rachel, Berry or even hobbit if you want. But can we please have a conversation? I haven't seen you in six years and I could never get in contact with you. You left the loft that night without a word and I know you may think it's my fault that you and Quinn broke up but let me explain my side of the story." Rachel pleads.
Santana looks up with fire in her eyes.
"Look Rachel. I don't want to hear it. I know what you told her and how you got into her head. She said it all to me that night. She left and with her left the old Santana. I moved on and made something of myself with my real friends and family. I'm not sure what you wanted to get out of all of that but you won. Please don't come back trying to be friends. We've all moved on. I have and i don't plan on going back to that time in my life."
"Santana, please it wasn't like that. Quinn always had doubts about you guys. I told her to follow her heart. I didn't want her to hurt you and leave you broken. I told her to blame it all on me if she had to so that it would ease everything. Tell me did she even try and look for you after you left? No. I know she didn't because she went back to Yale and lived her life. She dated and she moved on. I tried looking for you to be a friend to you like you were for me when Finn and I ended things. You told me I deserved someone better and that anyone would be lucky to have me. You made me felt seen and heard and that i was worthy of love. Quinn never saw that side of you she only cared about the future and status an-."
"Look Berry. Don't finish that. What Quinn and I had was something I won't ever have with anyone else. I was there for you as a friend. But you wouldn't know that because you always screwed yours over to get your way. This isn't going to happen again. If you sign with us it will all be professional, we're not friends not even acquaintances just colleagues. You will do your thing and I will do mine. Don't ever bring Quinn back up she's off limits. I'm assuming you know the way out. Have a good day Miss. Berry."
With that Santana grabs her things and walks out. She is fuming and shaking. She is met by Becky at the end of the hall and before she can say anything she just grabs her and hugs her. The stand there hugging for a while until Santanas heart begins to slow down.
"How are you feeling babe?" Becky asks
"I never thought I could hate someone so much. She tried to blame it all on Quinn and take the blame of herself."
"She's crazy babe. But your mom is right. If you can get her to sing a contract in which she legally can't be near you or mention you in anyway to others then you have her under control. And you know I will not allow her to come near you. You're mine and we're a team." Becky says holding Santanas face in her hands.
"I am very lucky to have the people i do in my life. Mami, Papi. Puck, Dani and you babe. I don't know what i would do without you all." Santana says as she kisses Becky
They head up to the condo. Rachel exits the building with a smug grin. From across the street Kurt saw her.
"God I need to talk to Santana. That witch cannot join them."
He walks away and hopes the week flies by so he can see Santana that Friday.
