Hey sorry, this took a while to post, it's a bit longer this time. As always leave a review and let me know what you guys think!

Chapter 6

"Okay so I have listened to some of your work, and I'm impressed you certainly have an ear for music, and I'd be more than happy to welcome you to the label here in LA. But we need to work on your contract, hence everybody that's here with us today,"

"Okay cool, thank you so much for doing all this, I don't know what I would if you hadn't of agreed to let me join,"

"Honestly, it's not a problem, you would have been working out in the New York branch anyway so, we just get to use your talent here instead," I said with a smile. "Now onto your contract." I moved a few papers that were handed to me and gave a copy over to Chloe since she would be helping me with managing some of the clients, "So I've been over some of your past employers and seen what contract they offered you, and myself and the label would like to offer you at least 4 albums and give you 5% of whatever they make. Furthermore, a sum of $2000 per song that reaches the top 50 Billboard charts, and if it doesn't you will just be paid accordingly. Is that something we can agree on?"

CR looked shocked her mouth was wide open as she listened to Beca's terms. Beca was known for being a powerful, no-shit taken producer, but inside she really took her work seriously and gave the best she could to all her employees. CR was unbelievably grateful and agreed immediately.

"Thank you so much, I won't let you down boss. Trust me."

"Good, I'll look forward to hearing some of your work,"

Just as Beca was wrapping up the interview, her secretary Flo, popped her head through the door.

"Hi, sorry to interrupt Boss, but I have an Emily Junk outside she said she has a meeting with you,"

Beca looked at her watch, "My meeting with her is at 10.30, I'm not meeting with her for another hour,"

"Well, I checked your diary and it says her meetings now so…"

"Ahh" I put my hands through my hair as I seemed to do when I got stressed. This is exactly, why I needed a manager. I thought to myself for a while before I felt something pull at my sleeve, "Becs," It was Chloe. My heart seemed to jump when I heard what she had called me. Her touch made me feel electric, my skin had goose bumps on it and even think my cheeks flushed a bit. Oh my gosh. Someone help. Then I thought flew into my mind, "Bring, Emily in here for me will you, thanks Flo," I said. I had confused looks from everyone around the table, I whispered to Chloe who's eyebrows had furrowed, trying to figure out my reasoning behind why I had brought Emily in here, "I have an Idea," I simply said. She seemed to take it as she shrugged and turned to look back at her notes.

A few minutes later Flo came in with a very nervous Emily. She had long brown hair, hazel eyes, and a guitar in hand along with a small backpack. Flo held open the for her, and she slowly walked in and stood at the front of the table with her eyes looking at the floor. Flo nodded her head towards Beca who smiled in response.

"Okay, so Emily if you'd like to take a seat and then we can talk through a few things,"

Emily pulled out a chair opposite CR and placed her guitar down beside her careful not to knock it on the floor.

"I..I j...just wanted to say thank you," Emily said nervously managing a small smile to the people sitting in front of her.

"No problem, it's great to see young people expressing their passion. But we need to talk business so Emily as a...let us say small Introduction project I want you and Cynthia-Rose to use one of the recording studios and begin producing a song, that way I can see what you Emily as an artist can do and you Cynthia-Rose can produce. I want it in by the end of the day, so you guys can pop by later and I'll give it a listen and see what you come up with,"

Emily looked quite panicked as she was playing with one of the rings on her fingers, sliding it back and forth. CR looked quite comfortable and seemed determined to show Beca what she could do.

"Sounds good to me Boss," CR said, "You good Em?"

"Yeah I'm fine, let's get going then," Emily said picking up her guitar and gathering her things.

"Okay so head on down to recording studio…" Beca said shuffling a few papers trying to find the booking schedule.

"Recording Studio 6 is free for the rest of the day, guys," Chloe said smiling at the pair.

Beca looked at Chloe with a smile on her face, "How did you know that?"

"Now I know why you need a manager. And I asked someone if they could give me a schedule of everything happening today." Chloe said absentmindedly. Beca looked at her in awe, she was truly amazing.

"Well glad to know one of us is on top of things," Beca said with a smirk, Chloe just replied with a small chuckle. The two girls had left, so it was just Beca, Chloe and a few of the producers and board left as most of them had filed back off to their respected jobs.

"Okay well since both my meetings are done with I'm going to go out for a bit," Beca said getting up.

"Okay, well make sure your back by 2 as you have a recording session with a few clients," Chloe said packing her things away as well. We both walked out the conference center together and before I left I gave her a few things to do while I was out.

"Yeah so could you please check up on CR and Emily and see how they are doing, then Jesse can walk you through a few of the basics you'll need to know then I'll go through it with you later on today or tomorrow,"

"On it Boss," Chloe said with a smile as she walked down the hall to go and see how CR and Emily were doing.

Beca walked back to her office picked up her car keys and headed out to the car park. There she met, James the valet key. He had always liked Beca, only in a friend way of course but they normally had a good conversation whenever they saw each other.

"Hey James, how's the family?"

"Yeah doing good, Maddie is starting school soon, she's getting so grown up,"

"Wow, I remember when she was like only 2. Time flies huh,"

"Yeah it really does," Beca said her mind reminiscing back to the last few years of her life. All the work she'd done, awards she'd won and memories she'd made along with a few new friends. When she really thought about it, she'd had a good few years and was still doing what she loved. Her mind was brought back to reality at the sound of an engine revving, it was her Porsche. She thanked James who waved goodbye to her and she began driving through Downtown LA, through Hollywood and out to the more suburban areas of LA to get to her destination. She had the roof down on the car, as it was particularly hot that day and it was one of the best things. Her hair was flying in the wind and it felt like she was free the wind whipping against her face cooling it down as the temperature only seemed to increase. She had decided to put her sunglasses on so she could block out the sun and evade any lurking paparazzi that were hiding in some of the most obscure of places.

After about, 20 minutes she had arrived in a town and had pulled up in front of a fairly large modern house. It was probably the biggest one on the road and had a stunning view from the backyard. It had a slate, white and grey color scheme, with some white stones covering the drive. It still had some older features like some of the framework and a few the floors that she'd had restored.

She walked up the drive stood in front of the door and rung the doorbell.

It seemed like forever since the door was sprung widely open and Beca was engulfed in a hug, her arms had been pinned to her sides and she was struggling for air.

"Can't...breathe," she managed to say. The grip immediately loosened and Beca was able to breathe again.

"Sorry, got a bit a carried away,"

"No, It's okay. How's my favorite sister,"

"Yeah, I'm doing fine thanks. How about you, Miss Big-Shot producer,"

"Yeah it's going well," Beca said walking into the house. "I'm home," She called up the stairs. "I'm signing on a few new clients and I also hired a manager so hopefully I will be more organized now. But what about you Stace, how's the clinic going?"

"It's going really well, business is looking up and we are getting more clients by the day. By the end of the year, I'd say we could be making quite a nice profit,"

Stacie owned her own clinic in LA. She was incredibly smart, and had gone to Stanford, graduated with honors and decided to open up her own business as soon as she got back. With her degree, it wasn't hard for her to gain people who wanted to work for her, and within 5 months she was up and running. It was a specialized clinic in dealing with young children, she had decided to become a pediatrician as soon as she was in her second year of high school and had been driven ever since. She was definitely a force to be reckoned with, but it helped if anyone ever needed medical advice in the family.

Beca and Stacie had moved to the spacious living room that was at the back of the house which is connected to the kitchen and dining room. It had a nice feel to it, the windows opened up space and made the whole room lighter. After a few minutes Beca heard footsteps coming from the stairs, she turned her head and waved to the two people approaching her. She stood up to greet them,

"Darling how are you?" the women said opening up her arms for a hug, Beca wasn't a fan of hugs but she always loved her hugs, they were warm and comforting made her feel safe. Once she was released she turned to the man who was beaming at her with a wide smile,

"Come here kid," he said. Beca turned and gave him a small hug before pulling away and going to sit back down on the sofa.

"So how have you been? We haven't seen you in a while,"

"Yeah, sorry about that. Work has been really stressful lately we have just taken on a few new clients and with trying to sort out the New York branch, I've had a lot on my plate,"

"I hope you're not over-doing it,"

"No, don't worry," Beca said. Everybody knew she worked too hard but she would never admit it.

"It's great you two are home together, we hardly see you both here at the same time,"

"Well with mine and Beca's schedules it's hard to find the time, it sometimes feels like I should just live in my office," Stacie said with a laugh.

"Oh, I was just telling Stacie. I hired a manager today,"

"Oh, finally. I don't know how long we and that nice Jesse boy has been telling you that you need one. You are awful at managing things Beca,"

"Hey, do I need to remind you I own my own record label and it's doing remarkably well. I should say that I can manage things. The woman raised her eyebrows and Beca looked down and apologized for her small outburst.

After an hour or two, it was nearing 2 and Beca had to leave so she wouldn't be late to her meeting, she bid her goodbyes and headed out to her car before pulling away and driving along the roads until she would reach the office. It was about 1.30 when Beca felt her stomach rumbling and decided to pull over to a salad bar and pick up two bowls of pasta salad. One for her and one for Chloe, what she had noticed that the girl didn't have lunch with her, and she just wanted to make sure she had something to eat.

She pulled round to the car park and hopped out the door, food in hand. Checking her watch 1.55, she was just on time, she rushed through the door smiling at James before rushing in the elevator and waiting for the 'ding' to signal her arrival. It finally reached her floor as she practically sprinted to her office, to see Chloe sitting on the sofa head stuck in a pile of notes and folders. She hadn't even realized Beca had entered. Beca put her keys on the desk and held the food in front of Chloe's face trying to catch her attention.

Chloe's head snapped up when a brown bag was lifted in her face making her jump. She clutched her chest in panic.

"Jeez, Beca you scared me,"

Beca just laughed and placed the food on the table sitting next to the redhead.

"Sorry, I needed to get your attention. Now eat. We have an interview in about," Beca checked her watch "2 minutes,"

"No, you have an interview in 2 minutes I need to talk with your legal team and the finance department and see what's going on there, and by that time you should be done and then CR and Emily should be done, they're fine by the way I checked on them about 30 minutes ago," Chloe said going back to her notes and opening up the bag and looking inside.

"Beca you didn't have to get me lunch you know,"

"Yeah well take it as a welcoming gift, and thanks for sorting all that stuff, your amazing you know," shit.

Chloe blushed and just waved her hand, taking a bite of her pasta salad. She moaned when it entered her mouth, oh my god.

"Becs, this is insane. It's like the best thing I've ever tasted,"

"Only the best," Beca said with a small smile. "Okay, now I'm going to get to that interview in room.." Beca said trying to remember

"Studio 2," Chloe said not taking her gaze away from the sprawled notes.

"Thanks," Beca replied. She got up and headed for the door taking a longing glance at the redhead, she was truly beautiful before quietly shutting the door and walking down the hallway towards her next meeting.

My search for an upcoming storyline is still going so if you have any ideas, le me know and I will be revealing the winning one in the next few chapters. Bye for now! x
