**sorry I'm so late with this update, but here we are! And it's a bit of a long one!**

I glance at my wristwatch out of boredom. Just past 4pm. That means I have been listening to Amber's "best work to date"- her words, not mine- for about 6 hours now.

I can't say she is a horrible singer by any means... Obviously she isn't if she is as popular as she is. She is a well known up and coming artist, has sold her fair share of albums and is physically beautiful. On paper, she sounds perfect. In reality, she is obsessive, arrogant, condescending, and conceited. Everything that makes her as ugly on the inside as she is beautiful on the outside. Because I know that side of her, whenever I hear her voice, it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. I am probably the worst person to be representing her for the label...but Noah insists I continue working with her.

Liam fidgets in his seat next to me. I talked him into joining me here today because there is no way I will allow Amber to get me alone. Thankfully, he agreed to come along. I may have promised to buy his drinks tonight if he agreed to come in with me today... completely worth it in my opinion.

"How do you think we did today, Logan?" Amber says sweetly as she peers through the glass, interrupting my thoughts.

"I think we got a great start with it today. Do you want to keep working on more or do you want to set up another studio time later?" I am secretly hoping that she decides to do it another day.

She seems to take her time thinking about it, but then she smiles at me and says "Maybe another day would be best. Afterall, I do want to get out tonight and I'll need time to get ready... as do you!"

Shit, I guess I should've known that she would still be pushing for me to go out clubbing with her. She quickly leaves the studio and joins us in the control room.

"Amber, I told you that I already had plans tonight..." "Yea, yea, yea." She waves her hand in the air, "I know you said you had plans with colleagues. I am assuming it includes Liam here... am I right?" She looks right over at Liam. He nods in response. "Well, Liam, I have some connections at a club for VIP access tonight with a few of my girlfriends. You in?"

Damnit. I know Liam is going to be all for this. I look over at him and he shrugs his shoulders at me. "I'm down for it. Logan, you in?" He gives me a sheepish smile. I see that I don't really have any choice at this point.

"I guess we will see you there. What time?" She triumphantly smiles at my response, "Meet us out front of Avenue Nightclub at 11. Don't be late!

"So why don't you just keep the relationship with Amber casual? I mean you'd always have guaranteed sex and it's not like she's ugly." Liam starts questioning me while we're in our Uber on the way to the club.

"Dude, that's what it was at first and then she got all possessive. She isn't a good person and that shines through. I'm just not into it at all anymore and she isn't getting it."

"Want me to try and take her off your hands tonight?" He nudges his elbow into my arm jokingly.

"Ha, go for it man. You'd be doing me a huge favor." Our driver pulls up to the nightclub just then and there is a huge crowd waiting to be let in. I look to the left and see Amber with her friends surrounding her. I mentally prepare myself for the night and get out of the car.

We follow the girls into the club and through their "security" up to the VIP lounge- more like one person guarding the staircase just to make sure random people don't make their way up.

"Drinks are on the house tonight guys!" Amber exclaims to all of us. Liam and I walk up to the private bar and get our drinks situated. I decide to go sit back on one of the couches we have access to and watch the dance floor below start filling up completely.
