Anika walked into the Empire building, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor. She headed straight to her office. She dreaded being back at the workplace, it seemed as if working at Empire was always filled with some sort of drama or stressful issues besides the workload.

It's been two days since she last had a conversation with Tori, and that was one of the main reasons she wasn't glad to be back. She knew she was waiting for her somewhere, waiting to catch her off guard the moment she was alone.

Cookie, Jamal, Hakeem, and Lucious sat in Leviticus surrounding a grand piano that Lucious sat at. Cookies hair was slicked into a low ponytail, wearing a red dress that was off the shoulders.

"...like I said, Jamal, it's too damn early for an interview. You just released the song." Said Lucious.

"Exactly, I just released the song. It's my song, I should be able to agree to wanting to have an interview or not, dad." Said Jamal. "What?" Lucious asked. Cookies attention rose at their small bickering.

"Y'all need to tone it down

"Y'all need to tone it down. Now look, I know I finished producing the song on Tuesday. Jamal released it on Wednesday." She said.
