✔️Be With You || Beyoncé • Jay Z

💋 Chapter Three

"Okay so, what you planning for your next solo album?" Angie asked me as we walk the hallways of Parkwood Entertainment.

I held the laptop in my arm as I scroll to my Twitter account. "Mhm. I don't know yet. I mean, I just got out of Destiny's Child so I'm not rushing things."

She nodded and we reached my office. Parkwood is a company that I built after Destiny's Child ended. This one is a hard one for me because I'm gonna run shit on my own but I knew that I can do it. My father has taught me a lot about business. Right now, I'm planning on my first second solo album. Dangerously in Love was a success and I was thankful for all the people who helped me do it. And yes, Jay was in the album too. He was there for my infamous single, Crazy in Love and some other songs too. My dad was the one who was running things back then and told me to collaborate with him since he was this famous rapper shit. At first, I didn't want to because I didn't like using other people for fame. Eventually, I agreed because I don't have much of a choice. But now, I'm running shit so I have a lot of choices and decisions to make.

"Bey, there was an e-mail sent for you. Would you like me to send it to you right now?" Trina asked. She's the one in charge with those e-mails and whatever.

I nodded as I took a seat on my black leather chair. "Yeah sure, Trina. Thank you." I politely thanked her.

"Okay." She said then left the room.

I opened my laptop and scanned through the songs I already recorded and probably listen to them for my next solo album. I'm not rushing things, I just like to be ahead of time.

"How was the party?" I heard and looked up. I forgot Angie is still here.

"What party?"

She shrugged. "The listening party at Kanye's?"

"Oh that." I shook my head as I remembered what happened that night. "It was fine I guess. Kelly's being a mess when drunk, as usual."

She laughed. "Ooh Kelly is such a mess!" She exclaimed and laughed with her. I noticed she pulled out her phone and checked on it. "I guess I gotta go."

"What's up?" I asked her because she looked concerned.

"Nah, nothing really. Going out with someone." She winked at me then pulled her tongue out. I laughed.

"You better get it!" I exclaimed.

"I'd do anything for the D, girl!"

I shook my head as I laugh. "Get out of here!" I told her.

Once she left, a notification popped out and I clicked it quickly. It lead me to my e-mails. I clicked the recent e-mail and read it. It was about collaborating with Jay Z and he wanted me to collaborate with him, again. It's been years when we last collaborated. He didn't send me a song or a sample, he wanted me to meet him at the studio directly if I wanted to. That nigga is so damn demanding. He left his number and mail, just in case I would accept his request. I pulled out my phone and decided to contact him.

"Aye who's this?" He answered. I forgot he doesn't have my number, of course, I just don't give it away like that. You gotta work hard for it boo boo kitty. But he lucky.

"Hello, Jay Z." I greeted him.

He probably smirked. "Aye, what's up ma?" He asked.

"Great, great. I actually just received your e-mail. You wanted another collaboration with me?"

"That's what it says there right?" He chuckled and I just followed. "Yeah. I was trying some shit back in the studio and I.. uh.. thought it would be perfect with you."
