TWICE // D.S.

EIGHTEEN

"i told you they were fast" daniel quietly spoke as he opened the front door for aubrielle.

"did you not just tell them last night? aren't they busy?" aubrielle questioned as she stepped inside with james on her hip

"they are, just not when it comes to this stuff" daniel whispered, closing the door and leading the girl to the wooden table, where a few people sat.

"aubrielle, this is randy, jon, sia, and jaylah" daniel introduced, waving his hand to introduce each person before he sat down, "randy works at my record, jon is my manager, sia-"

"think of me as your guide, I'll be here for you" sia interupted, sitting down after a handshake, "and jaylah will be our experience per say"

"it's nice to meet you aubrielle, this is james, right?" the one introduced as jon spoke before sitting down, the girl nodded her head in response.

"sit down and let's get started. i heard you're familiar with how this goes" randy said, and aubrielle nodded her head, "i also heard that this might go easy. unless said otherwise, i'd like for you to not post anything with daniel until he has chosen to speak out, which we talked about before you arrived" he spoke to aubrielle, "I'd like to remind you that you don't have full custody of james, even if daniel wasn't there before." he read off a piece of paper, "any large issue that occurs between you too, that could add stress to him, I'd like it to be addressed to me"

"let's pause right here, aubrielle? any questions?" sia asked, opening a laptop.

"no"

"good. this seems to be going way better than i expected" randy admitted, sneaking a glare to jaylah.

"like i said" daniel responded

"don't get too cocky" jaylah warned, "this next part from what you said she's not gonna like"

"finally, since someone had insisted for protection over you" randy sighed, "i don't want you using daniel for your work, im assuming i don't need to go into detail about it. or anything that could seem like it"

"i don't plan to" aubrielle answered, "but if there was miscommunication?"

"then i'll be expecting access to your work before you have submitted it to your boss" randy replied

"sir, you can't interfere with her work" sia interrupted

"i can if she interferer's with ours" randy challenged, "but i don't see that happening, unless you have any questions I'll be leaving"

"no, no questions" aubrielle answered, shifting james onto her lap. that's when she knew that the hard part had already been discussed, or it was coming up soon. she had arrived after a hard part for daniel, they talked about the issues james would cause and he was very persistent to do anything for it to not effect either james or aubrielle.

"good. jon and daniel should bring up the rest, if we have any issues I'll be back or if anything gets added you'll be notified. for the most part, I did what I came her for, no loss on my part" he explained, standing up and giving everyone a handshake, including sweet james, even if it could barely be called that with him. and with that randy left, sia had packed up her stuff and she exchanged a few words with jon before leaving.
