One week later

The nanny that Emily got me is really great and Tyler loves her. Her name is Anna and she's from Mexico.

"Tyler." I say to get his attention away from the tv. "Mommy has to go now." Tyler gets up from the couch and hugs me.

"Bye mommy." He says.

"Have fun with Anna today and be nice." I say and I turn around to look at Anna. "Call if you need anything or have any questions." I tell the same as I've told her every morning since I hired her.

"I will." She says.

"Good." I say and turn around to look at Tyler again. "I love you." I say and kiss his forehead.

"I love you too." He says.

...

I walk into Shady Records and I see Marshall and Nickle standing in the common room talking.

"Good morning." I say mostly to Nickle.

"Good morning." Nickle says smiling and of course Marshall doesn't say anything. I go to the kitchen and grab a cop of tee before I head to my office. I sit down and look at the accountant on the upcoming costs like; travels, hotel rooms, album covers, pictures, music videos, concerts and stuff like that. There's really a lot of projects this year and that means a lot of work for me. It's hard to get it all to fit together and keep it in for a reasonable budget.

...

It knocks on my door and Marshall steps in, how I'm just not happy to see him ever.

"I'm doing a interview on Jimmy Kimmel's show in 3 weeks. I need you to calculate a budget." He says and gives me all the information. This really pisses me off because I know that he's known about this for two weeks now.

"You can't just give me something in last minute and expect me to get it done quickly." I speak from my mind now.

"It's kinda your job if you haven't notice." He says.

"You have known about this for two weeks." I point out.

"If you have known for two weeks as well then why the fuck haven't you started on the budget yet?" He's really pushing my buttons right now.

"Because I didn't have these." I say and wave the papers he just gave me.

"I need it done by tomorrow." He just says.

"Next time you pull a trick like this then I'm not gonna hurry up and get it done." I warn him which makes him walk over to my desk, place his hands on it and lean closer to me with a really intimidating body language.

"See what happens then." He warns me.

"You've given me so much work Marshall and I go home late every night because I have so much hanging over my head." I explain to him.

"What did you expect? The music industry is a bitch." He says and pushes his body away from the desk. "Just get this shit done." He says and walks out of my office. I can't deal with him for much longer, I can't bite my tongue for much longer because I'm not a person who usually puts up with any bullshit. I want to bail and just get out of here but I refuse to give him that satisfaction!
