The Lyon Lie (Hakeem Lyon Love Story)

Chapter 2~ Pushing My Agenda

As Soon As I Signed The Contract Anika Rushed Me To Cookie's Office. As I Entered Cookie Was Yelling At Her Assistant Porsha To Go Get Her Something.

"Uhhh.. Cookie?" I Said Nervously I didn't Know What To Expect From This Woman.

"Yes Child." Cookie Said Sitting Down Behind Her Desk. "Have A Seat" She Said. I Looked At This Woman With Respesct And Admiration.

"I Must say Ms.Lyon It Is An Honor To Sit Here With You." I said. With A Polite Smile.

"Save It Little Girl. I Don't Know If You're Genuine Or Not. But In This Business You Have To Be Skeptical Of Everybody You Come In Contact With. Everybody Has An Agenda To Push. What's Yours?" Cookie Said Sitting Up And Looking At Me.

"I Just Want To Make Money And Get Famous. I Just Want My Daughter To Be Proud Of Me." I Said Pulling Out My Phone And Showing Cookie A Picture Of My Daughter. She had my skin complexion And Curly Hair. But She Had Her Father's Hazel Eyes. I Stopped All Dealings I Had With Her Father Because He Just Wasn't Stepping Up To The Plate.

"I Had Her When I Was 18. She's 4 Now. She Lives With My Mother In New Jersey But After I Find A Place Down Here She's Coming With Me. Her Name Is Malani." I Said As Cookie Scrolled Through My Daughter's Pictures.

"Well Listen Honey" Cookie Said Handing Back My Phone, "If You Want To Make It Far In This Company You Need To Stay Relevant And Close To This Family." She Grabbed Her Coffee From Porsha And Sat Back. "Listen I Know Anika Gave You To Me Just Because She Feels Like I Can't Handle New Talent, But Honestly Your Best Shot At Making It In This Company Is Me. And I Know I Can Get You A Shot At Performing At Leviticus This Weekend " She Stood Up And We Walked Out Her Office. "I'm Going To Get You And Jamal All Over That Leviticus Opening" She Said More To Herself Than To Me. And I Knew At That Moment I Was On the Winning Team.
