Just Another Love Story

Chapter 1

'Miss. Pender your 3:00 appointment is here.' I signed then thanked my assistant, Amelia for letting me know. I've been here since 4:00 this morning and still can't seem to figure out how or exactly what else I could do to put myself out there as much as I would like.

Yes, I was and still am, known. But I want to be known across the world. Billboards, concerts, tour, etc... I just wasn't there yet and I needed to accept that.

I was taking time with my career. Not really ready to sign with anyone yet, and yet again, here I was having another appointment with another label who wants to sign me.

Not that I was complaining, I just have so many great offers. The only problem about that is that I don't wanna come up off of anyone. I wanna be known for making it by myself and not needing a label to bring me up. I refuse to feed off of anyone and get placed into a contract I'll regret later and won't be able to escape from it.

I got up from my seat and pushed it to my desk. I met my manager Shawn at the door. 'Good afternoon jetz, shall we head to the meeting room?' I nodded and straightened my skirt.

I owned a nice sized building in Atlanta. This is where everything is handled. I record here, I hold meetings here, I just do everything maintaining to my career in this building. 'Jetz incorporation' is a small yet known business that allows me to continue my career in a more professional environment.

I walked into the meeting room and went to my head chair. Shawn pulled my chair out for me, then proceeded to the chair beside me, and across from well known rapper Meek Mill. Of course I wasn't going to sign with his label today, I just wanted to see what he has to bring to the table. So I guess you could say, I'm wasting his time. I don't see myself with Meeks label, simply because I know I can do better. I don't mean to knock his hustle, he can do it by all means, just not with me because his career isn't where I wanna be.

The only label I've really looked at is 'Def Jam' and that's probably going to be the one I sign, IF I decide to do so.

'Hello Shauntrell' Meek spoke. I cut my eyes at him. 'Miss. Jetz allows little to none call her by that name. Either Tokyojetz or Jetz would be fine, nothing more, nothing less.' Shawn said feeling my annoyance start.

'My apologies, shall we get to business? ' Meek spoke, shocked at the boldness. 'Why do you think your label is good enough for my client? ' Shawn spoke.

'Well to be honest, it's a perfect fit for her, she has that past that everyone questions and the raps that tell stories. Her flow is mad dope and she'll fit in right along with everyone. Not only that, but we just signed new coming artist g-herbo, no one would've ever thought we could sign him, but he connected with everyone and built a family relationship. That's what everyone from the label wants. We're just one big family' I nodded my head, slightly becoming interested.

'Where's the contract?' Shawn questioned. Meek scratched his neck nervously. 'Well see, here's the thing. We wanted to make sure she was ready to sign before actually getting the con-' Shawn cut him off.

'So you mean to tell me that you came to a meeting, in hopes to get my client to sign with your label, and then have no contract? I'm sorry to say this, but your company is out of order and I refuse to let my clients talent get wasted on an unorganized company who have nothing going for themselves and will in no way help my client. Good day to you Mr. Mill.'

Meek tried talking, but I just pushed my sunglasses down my face and proceeded back to my office. I don't usually say much in the meetings unless I become interested, other then that, as you see, Shawn has it under control.

It was now 3:30 and my next meeting wasn't until 6:30. I wanted nothing more then to go and get something to eat, I was starved. I went to my office, grabbed my jacket from the chair, my purse from the desk and my cell phone, then proceeded to the exit doors.
