Chapter 8

Emily squealed in delight, her face breaking into a wide grin. She ran around Beca's desk and engulfed her in a tight hug. Beca visibly tensed, her arms pinned to her sides.

"Emily, I can't breathe," Beca managed to squeeze out. Emily instantly released Beca and she instantly starting apologizing,

"I am so sorry, I don't know what came over me," she said nervously.

"You were just excited, and its fine," Beca said regaining her breath. She looked over to Cynthia-Rose who was beaming happily, she straightened out her shirt that had been crinkled by Emily's overbearing hug, before turning to Chloe who was looking over some notes from earlier.

"Well I guess my plan worked out then," Beca said smiling, causing both girls to look at her and causing Chloe's head to snap up in confusion.

"What do you mean, Becs?" Chloe said walking over to the desk.

Beca sat down and put her hands in front of her, clearing her throat before she began explaining,

"Well, I knew that I would eventually want you two to work together, Cynthia you have worked with artists such as Charlie Puth, Post Malone, Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar am I correct?"

"Yes," Cynthia replied hesitantly.

"And each of those artists is very different, so I wanted to give you something that would be a challenge. Emily isn't like any of those artists, she has her own sound. It's something unique and I also know that you have a history with song-writing which I know is something Emily aspires to incorporate into her career, so I thought that you'd be good for her. But in complete honesty, I never expected something like this. It is truly incredible how you managed to create something like this is just a few hours regardless if you had a few of the lyrics anyway, building the melody and making the sound is impressive. So, as of tomorrow, I want both of you to start working on songs, then if everything goes well we can review it in a few weeks and maybe talk about producing an album,"

By the end of Beca's speech both girls mouths had gone agape in shock, neither of them moved a muscle and after a while, Beca turned worried and snapped her fingers breaking the girls out of their trance.

"I...I don't know what to say,"

"You don't need to say anything, your talent did the job," Beca said with a smile. She loved this part of her job, seeing the reactions and emotions of people when something as life-changing as this happened. She remembered it from when she was young and how happy she was when she was given the opportunity to work at Residual Heat, sure it has been hard but it was worth it, and it got her the start she needed in the music industry. She turned at saw Chloe smiling at the two, who were still in shock but bright smiles painted on their faces as the two hugged. After, a few minutes Beca sent both Emily and Cynthia to Jesse to sort them both out, as she knew she could trust him to help them settle in.

It was around 6 when everything started to slow down for Beca, and Chloe and she were just sitting down on the sofa in Beca's office just chatting about the day's events.

Chloe was talking about a story from her childhood, something about an old friend, when Beca, once again, got lost in her eyes. She didn't know how to explain, she just could stare into them forever, it was like they were magnets, whenever she looked at them they just pulled her closer. Beca's staring must have caught the eye of the red-head who has stopped talking and was trying to get Beca's attention.

"Beca," Chloe snapped her fingers, "Beca. Hello, Beca,"

Chloe's fingers brought her out of her trance, and she immediately blushed.

"Am I boring you or something?" Chloe teased.

"No..no sorry,"

"It's okay," Chloe said with a wink.

"Do you want to come out with us tonight, we are going to the bar downtown. We thought we'd celebrate Emily and Cynthia joining us and of course you," Beca blurted out.

"Yeah that would be nice, thank you," Chloe not thinking about what Tom would end up saying.

"Okay, cool well, I'll go roundup Jesse, Emily, Cynthia and the others I'll be 5 minutes,"

"Okay, Boss,"

Beca quickly left her office breathing a sigh of relief as her back pressed up against the door, she just stayed there before Jesse's voice caused her to jolt up from her position.

"Oh, there you are, hey Jesse. I'm taking Chloe out to the bar so can you round up everyone and get them to meet us there?"

"On it boss," Jesse said over his shoulder as he got into the elevator.

Beca smiled to herself as she walked back to her office seeing Chloe sitting there just staring out of the window at the LA skyline. The lights illuminated from the darkness surrounding the city, apart from the bright lights of downtown LA and Hollywood, it was beautiful, Beca had never really realized how pretty it was a night, she rarely paid any attention to it.

"Oh hey," Chloe said turning her head to smile at Beca, oh my god, that smile.

"Hey, everyone is going to meet us there so we should get going," Beca said picking up her coat from her desk, shutting down her laptop and putting it away safely on her bag.

"Us?" Chloe replied

Oh shit

"Yeah... Um...Well. I assumed your car was still at the mechanics so I thought I'd give you a ride, but if you don't want to, of course, that's fine-," Beca rambled, she started stuttering as Chloe stood and walked up to her, she stopped when Choe's hands were on Beca's shoulders.

"Beca, calm down," Chloe said with a chuckle, it instantly calmed her down and Beca's facial features visibly relaxed.

"That would be nice, thank you. And you were right to assume, it is still at the mechanics,"

"Well, let's get moving then," Beca's confidence returning

The two walked out of Beca's office side by side until they reached the lobby, where James was. He saw Beca and came out from his post ready to greet her,

"Ms. Mitchell, are you ready for your car to be pulled around?"

"Yeah, that would be great, thanks James,"

James nodded his head and walked off to retrieve the producer's car from the parking lot. Beca pulled out her phone and began playing Candy Crush, she played it an unhealthy amount of time on a day to day basis. After a few minutes, Beca's car had been driven in front of the pair, James got out and handed the keys over to Beca.

"Drive safe, Ms. Mitchell,"

"I always do James," Beca said teasingly

The two got in Beca's car, and they drove through the streets of LA, at an alarming rate Chloe might add, Beca sure liked to drive fast. After 10 minutes the pair pulled up to a bar, it was packed out with the public standing outside queuing to get in, and swarms of paparazzi standing outside the front entrance. Beca pulled out two pairs of sunglasses, pulling them on her head followed by Chloe.

"You ready?" Beca asked.

"Let's go,"
