Safe Place // Jake Kiszka x Calum Hood

Chapter Fifty-Two.

Hello friends, Happy Friday!🥳
I'm trying to do better at updating more frequently for you all...but I want some feedback...
Do you prefer longer chapters like I've been posting or do you want me to try shortening them up..?
Secondly do you like when I include photos? Of their outfits, places they go, etc??
Lastly, I know this is Farren's story, but do you guys like when I do POV's for other characters?
I genuinely want to know what you all like so it can help me make the story better!😊
Thank you in advance!!!♥️

"As far as logistics go, would we be able to get an in person meeting with you and your team in the next few weeks before moving forward with the finalities of the contract? I know this needs to be done in a timely manner."

You nodded, "Yes of course. You can just send me an email with dates that work best for you and we will go from there to plan the logistics. But of course I'm happy to answer any questions you may have in the meantime. I'm always just an email or phone call away."

"That sounds great. Thanks so much Farren. We will be in touch!"

"No, thank you! Talk to you soon."

It had been a week since you got to Nashville.
A week since your karaoke duet with Jake at Lakeside.
Well, 5 days to be exact but you had been extremely busy in those 5 days.
You had been working more than anything and had managed to get three more artists to fully commit to preform for your "Deck The Halls" concert, Fall Out Boy, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran.
Which was absolutely incredible of course considering your cause, but that also meant you spent a majority of your time on Zoom calls in meetings with each of their respective management teams, Andrew and YOUR team, and sadly, Carter.

Who was still in the Zoom with you right now.

"I assume you expect me to write up the drafts for the final contracts for everyone?"

"No. I will do them like I've done everything else this week thank you very much."

Since Andrew had told (basically forced) Carter
to assist you with your and Ivy's workload while she was on her honeymoon he had managed to basically fuck everything up, for lack of better words.
He had scheduled you for meetings that were overlapping each other, written multiple different contracts for the same artists or had contracts with the wrong name and management listed, booked you to be on another radio show in LA while you were in Nashville, the list went on and on.
You weren't sure if all of it was on purpose or not so he didn't have to continue to "help" but you didn't have time to worry about it because you had to spend the entirety of week fixing his messes.

"Oh yeah no, I'd hate for you to say "thank you" for all I've done these past couple of weeks." He scoffed, "Thank God Ivy is deciding to actually be useful next week and start taking over her own work load again while on tour. I mean who takes a 3 week honeymoon? Perks of being bosses daughter I guess."

"Carter." You spit out through gritted teeth, "Just shut the fuck up. Okay? Ivy literally will have all of her work caught up before you can even blink next week. God I've had about all of you I can take for the day and it isn't even-" you looked at the clock to see it was 11:45, "Lunchtime yet."

"Yeah well same to you. I'd be fine to not have to speak to you but unfortunately, per Andrews orders, I have to. So what, now I will have Shawn Mendes, Lizzo, Imagine Dragons and Ariana Grande, you have Greta Van Fleet, 5 Seconds of Summer, Olivia Rodrigo, and Fall Out Boy, and Ivy had Lil Nas X, Doja Cat, Harry Styles, and Ed Sheeran? 12 artists in total confirmed?" He said as he wrote everything down in his notes.
