Welcome To The Empire

Season 1 Episode 2

"Just push back the meeting an hour Jazz, it isn't that hard to do" Meagan says on her phone as she walked into the dining room.

She frozen when she saw Cookie at the table, "you have got to be kidding me. Look Jazz I'll call you back" she said and hang up her phone.

"Morning Meagan!" Cookie greeted her happily, "Morning, dad never said you were coming over" Meagan said confused as to why she is there.

"I invited myself over for breakfast" Cookie told her smiling, Rita brought in breakfast, "y'all ain't got no bacon?" Cookie asked Rita curiously.

"Miss 'my body has to be perfect' doesn't allow food like that in the house" Meagan told her rolling her eyes annoyed with having salad for breakfast again.

"Should have known" Cookie rolled her eyes annoyed as well.

Lucious walked in and kiss Meagan on the head and took aseat beside Cookie.

"Am not backstabbing my son" Lucious told Cookie, "I know you have Hakeem performing at the opening of Laviticus. Put Jamal up there, too" Cookie demands.

Meagan looked at them suprise because as far she knew she was the only Lyon that was performing at Leviticus opening night.

Lucious cleared his throat, "no, it's only going to be Hakeem performing" He told her.

This cause Meagan to scoff loudly at her dad and left the house slamming the front door behind her.

"So now not even our daughter is performing? You really are something else Lucious" Cookie told him even more annoyed.

"Jamal doesn't belong on my stage, it's not his audience" Lucious told her ignoring the comment on Meagan.

"His audience? Jamal's music is universal, and you know it" Cookie told his as Anika walked into the room.

"I've invested a whole lot of money into Leviticus. I'm not gonna have it branded as a homosexual club" Lucious said in disgust.

"Cookie you can talk all the mess you want but I have nine of Empire's top acts, including your daughter and non of them are gonna be there, so... Tonight is not about Jamal" Anika said walking up to the table smirking.

"Excuse me, sweetie, this is a family matter. Plus I already know that Meagan isn't signed to your ass. This conversation is involving two of my sons and the family business that Lucious and I started with my $400,000" Cookie told her.

"Excuse me baby" Lucious immediately said and gets up out of his seat and grab a hold of Cookie.

"Yeah. With my money" Cookie said making a point to Anika.

"Cookie, let me talk to you for a second" Lucious says dragging Cookie out of the dining room.

"Get your hands off of me! I'm not that tired heifer" Cookie yell at Lucious pulling herself away from him.

"You signed a nondisclosure agreement not to say anything about the $400,000 or have you forgotten already?" Lucious whispered to her so Anika wouldn't hear him.

"She don't know that it was my $400,000 in drug money that started this company, does she?" Cookie asked smirking at him.

Meagan watches Tiana rehearsal video shoots as she waits for her studio session to begin, plus Tiana wanted her opinion on her video. That's until Hakeem and his loud mouth friends walked in messing everything up.

"Cut it!" Meagan yelled for the music to stop and then faced Hakeem, "what are you doing here Hakeem? Don't you have anyone else to go be a burden to?" Meagan questioned him.
