DQ#2 Another Romeo's Juliet

Wrong Path

Juliet's POV

I was in the studio working on the new albums lyrics with my girls and one of our songwriters Ava. She is the best friend of the daughter of the company owner. So, she acts like we all owe something to her. Such a bi*chy attitude she has. Sometimes it makes me feel like if I could just crush her head somewhere!!! She is such a pain in ass.

" She is such a bi*ch." Heidi whispered. I sighed.

" I don't know how to handle this headache." Jordana said and Ari kept looking at the laptop as Ava was trying to convince us about her new plans. I could say that she was trying hard keep patience.

" Yes, I do understand what you want but it may not work for us. Let's just make it what we feel comfortable with." Ari said and Ava rolled her eyes.

" It's not about your comfort zone. It's about the company's profit." She said and I chuckled.

" It's about pure music. You can't force us to produce a hit number. It will not be something soulful." I said.

" That's not a problem. Just do what the management decides." She said.

" You are not the management. Let the management approach us. You do your job. Don't bother to step out of the border." Heidi said irritatingly.

" You..." Ava was saying but Gabbie stopped her.

" If the discussion about lyrics is done I would love to go home. Caleb is not feeling well and Cassius has gone to Paris this morning. I have to go home early." Gabbie said.

" We all are working here, Gabrielle. You can't whine for an early leave." Ava said.

" Listening to your lecture is not a part of my job. And lecturing us is not yours. I am going home girls. Manage it for today." Gabbie said grabbing her bag walking out of the room.

" How can she be so irresponsible!!" Ava said. I chuckled.

" She knows her worth. Unlike you she is irreplaceable." Heidi said and Jordana gave her a hi five.

" What do you mean?" Ava asked.

" Let's do things that we are here for. If management wants us to do something they will give us a notice or officially inform us through a face to face talk." Ari said.

" And it is none of your business, duh!!!" Heidi said and Ava stood up before storming out of the room.

" She must be going to whine to Lizzie. I hate this Mia too. She is trying to poke her nose everywhere. It is going to bother people only." I said.

" I am not afraid of her. Let her come and talk." Heidi said.

We were talking about the lyrics and stuffs when the door of the studio opened and Elezabeth aka Lizzie Peyton the new CEO entered the room. I sighed. There you go. Another headache arrived.

" I hope I didn't disturb you guys." She said as she sat across Heidi.

" No. We were just going to wrap things for today." I said.

" I heard you guys had a small fight with Ava. What happened?" She asked looking at Heidi.

" She keeps poking her nose everywhere. She is a songwriter and she should not be lecturing the artists what they should do. She seems to forget her limits." Heidi said.

" It's company policy what she tried to make you realize. It's nothing bad. I think you guys reacted much about it." She said. Here you go.

" We have signed the contract with the company and it gave us supreme freedom of choice about our works. No one can force us to do something against our will. You should revise the terms and conditions before bothering us." I said to her. I was getting irritated now.

I was going to ask Ardeyn for a date tonight if I was finished early. But I think it's not possible today. It's already late.

" We will check it then." She said before going out of the room.

We finished the works and I was going back to my apartment when my phone started to ring. I thought it's Ardeyn but I found it's my dad. I picked up the call.

" Hello, Dad. " I said.

" Hello, Juliet. Are you free tonight?" He asked me which kinda surprised me because he would not ask about anything, he loves to order people around.

" A bit busy. Why?" I asked him.

" There is a family dinner tonight. Make sure you must attend that." He said. There you go.

" I will try." I said.

" It's important. Just come home tonight." He said and I sighed deeply.

" I won't be able to be there for long." I said.

" Just come home." He said and I sighed.

" Ok." I said and hung up.

I texted Ardeyn that I was going home tonight and drove back home. I parked the car in the parking lot and walked inside. It was very awkward feeling to be home after long time. I walked inside and found my mother in the living room. I talked to her for awhile and she told me that Damian and Mia are going to get married next month. I was surprised but suddenly I remembered what happened in the trip.

" Are you sure Mia is the right person for Damian?" I asked her.

" Why are you asking that?" She asked me and I shook my head.

" Just like that." I said.

I should talk to Damian first. He might know something about this. Or may be there is something I don't know. I went to my room and got ready for the dinner.

We had dinner together later that night. I met Mia and she was acting like everything is fine. I was quite off guarded by her acting skill. She was acting all lovey dovey with Damian as well. She was acting like nothing happened. I lost all my appetite by her fake smile. The dinner party ended and I drove back to my apartment. I walked inside and found Ardeyn sleeping peacefully in the bed. I got freshen up and changed into my PJs before joining him in bed.

" You are back." I heard him saying as he wrapped his arms around me. I sighed.

" Damian is getting married to Mia next month." I said and he opened his eyes.

" How come it's that easy to make Damian a fool?" He asked me.

" I don't know. May be he is really not aware of her nature or he decided not to see that. Love makes people blind." I said and he sighed deeply.

" You should talk to him." He said.

" I will." I said. I can't let Damian walk on this wrong path.
