Chapter 32

McKenzie's POV

We pulled up to the Atlantic Records building. Atlantic is Ed Sheeran's label and hopefully soon mine too. Even if I am just writing for a while.

"Niall, will you come in with me because I'm a bundle of nerves."

"Planning on it Kenz."

"Thanks Niall."

"You're welcome McKenzie."

We got out of the car and walked in to meet with Ed's producers and Executives and VIPs.

"McKenzie Hi! How are you?" Ed asked and embraced me in a hug. I felt Niall tense up. Was Mr. Horan a tad jealous of Mr. Sheeran?

"Nervous."

"Don't be, McKenzie. They're going to love you. I promise."

"I know they will too. You're great." Niall said making me not as nervous.

"Thanks for the encouragement Niall." I said and we intertwined our fingers.

"Follow me and I will show you two where we're meeting the people in charge of this." Ed said leading us down a hallway.

We walked down a long hallway and came to a set of double doors.

"This is it." I thought to myself "the moment your dreams become a reality or the moment they break you. Just stay calm."

Ed opened the double doors, and led us to a long rectangular table where a lady, and four men sat. They all had different important jobs in the company.

On our side it was just me, Niall, and Ed. I swear you could use the pulse of my beating heart as a drum to an upbeat song.

"Hi Ed." They all said to him as we sat down.

"Hi Bradley, Tom, Lewis, Robert and Scarlett."

"Is this the girl you told us about?" One of the men asked.

"Yeah it is. This is McKenzie she's an excellent singer songwriter."

"Pleasure to meet you McKenzie." One of them said extending out their hands for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you too." I smiled and shook his hand wanting to make a good impression.

"Let's get started shall we?" Ed said. I'm feeling that he's about to introduce me to all these people.

"This is Bradley he's the president of the company. Your fate as far as your career is in his hands." Oh I better make one heck of an impression on Bradley; he can make or break me.

"Tom is the head of writing. Once you write a song you take it to him and he will revise it or do whatever needs to be done."

"Nice to meet you Tom." I smiled at him and shook his hand.

"This is Lewis. He would be your sound engineer if you get signed."

Ed introduced him to me and also said that Robert would be my vocal coach. If I decide to record the song.

"Lastly but most important this is Scarlett. She will be your manager." I shook her hand and said nice to meet you. I have to make a good impression on these people especially her I'd hate to know she wouldn't have a managing job because of me.

"Let's hear some of your works." Tom the head of writing said and Ed passed me a guitar. I played them four of my original songs; Silent Questions, Warriors, Old Guitar in the Corner, and You.
