As Michael was finishing up some paperwork in his office, Bill and Javon came in with the mail for the week.
"Hey, Mr. Jackson?" Bill spoke, "We have mail for you and Miss Tyler."
"Of course," Michael replied, nodding at the two men.
Bill handed him a small brown envelope and a thick white one, "The rest of it was just junk mail. We triple-checked."
"Thank you, guys," Michael said, taking the envelopes.
He noticed the brown envelope had Athena's and his name on it, while the white one was addressed to Athena. He opened the one addressed to both of them and started reading, realizing it was a letter him and Athena had to sign to confirm their combined tour dates for next year. He looked it over for accuracy before signing the document, "Should I sign for Athena or just let her do it?" he asked, looking to Bill and Javon.
Bill shrugged, "Well, she is your wife, so technically you could, in theory, sign on her behalf."
"Besides, it's not like this is some legal document," Javon added, "I've seen her sign stuff for you before. Nothing legally binding or anything, but she has your signature down pat."
Michael chuckled, "You're right. I trust her to know my signature better than most," He signed the letter with Athena's name being sure to be very peculiar as he did so.
"Wow, Mr. Jackson," Bill muttered in disbelief, "That looks just like her signature."
Javon blinked in shock, "How.....how did you copy it down to a T?"
Bill let out an amazed sigh, "Well, I've seen him watch her sign stuff, but I didn't realize he could replicate it this well."
"I pay attention to everything, boys," Michael winked, slipping the signed document back into the envelope before grabbing the bigger one, "Should I open this or let her do it?" he asked, noting how it only had Athena's name on the front.
"Well, you already have her signature perfectly replicated," Bill said with a chuckle, "Might as well open her mail."
"Like we said, you are married," Javon added, "I don't see why she would care."
"Fair point," Michael agreed, tearing open the envelope with a flourish.
The first thing he noticed was that this was from her record label, Sony Music—which was also his record label.
Bill, curious, pulled out everything from the envelope while Michael read the brief greeting card that was left in there.
