Ashley POVAlex, Lisa and I have been hanging out a lot lately. Especially Alex and I. But I am very nervous today, I have to perform my song in front of the music producer. I really do hope all goes well. I was sitting in Lisa's living room, biting on my nails.
"Okay we got to leave in fifteen minutes and Alex said she'll meet us there in fifteen minutes." She said
"Okay."
"Hey Alex it's going to be okay don't worry yourself. Trust me, you'll do great."
"Thanks."
"No problem. Now let's go we're running a little late."
"Okay."25 minutes later:
"Hey Ash and Lis! You ready?" Alex says when she sees me.
"Yeah." I say. I was still a little nervous but decided not to show it. Nervous=good.
"Okay Ash go up there." I walked on stage nearly tripping. I heard Alex snicker and Lisa hit her on the arm. Good job Alex now I'm even more nervous.
"Hello, your Ashley Knowles right?"

A minute through my song I saw someone walk through but couldn't see who because they sat in the back and it was dark back there. The person had a figure of a boy. After I finished performing I was so happy. I did good. How I know? Because the looks on everyone's face and I felt it in my soul.
"Ashley that was great. My names Eric I'm the big music producer here at Xplosion records. I thi-
"Yes that was amazing Ashley." The man in the back starts clapping. We still couldn't see his face. When he stepped into view my mouth dropped.
"Jay-z?" I squeal excitedly
"The one and only."
"It's the jigga man." Alex yells cupping her hands around her mouth, earning a chuckle from everyone.
"Lisa you didn't tell her." Jay ask her
"Uh no I didn't want to make her more nervous and just in case everything went left."
"Oh understandable. Well Ashley let me explain it to you. Xplosion records has decided to help me find my first official artist. As you know I own my own record label roc nation. I make money off of Rihanna, Kanye and a few other artist, but none of them are my artist. I want my own official artist. Someone who I knew will feel comfortable, excel in their music, and make a good impression on roc nation. Today you have proven you have a great voice but before I sign you I want you to perform at one of Beyoncé's concert." I nearly died inside when he said all of this.
"Thank you so much. And you want me to p-perform at b-b-Beyoncé's concert?"
"Why yes it would be a great way to promote roc nation's first artist. And I'm sure it will work even better for you considering your a famous Instagram model. 20 million Instagram followers."
"Oh my god I don't even know what to say. Thank you so much. My heart is pounding so fast."
"Okay come to my office tomorrow so we can discuss a few things."
"Okay."
After all that we left.
"I still can't believe you met Jay-z."
"Yeah I know. How was your reaction when you seen him?"
"Similar."
"Can't wait til you get the deal." Lex said grabbing my hand. I felt lots of sparks rush through and couldn't help but blush.
"Was that song about Chris." Lisa ask me and I see Alex turn around and look at me.
"It was suppose to be but now no. After a while this song just became a song to me. But one day it'll be about someone."
"One day." I mumble to myselfNext day: August 22, 2019
Today I'm meeting up with Shawn. We're going to discuss my contract or whatever. I did my hygiene thing and ate my breakfast. I threw on a nice simple outfit.I drove the Lamborghini that Onika bought me and was on my way.
This building was huge as shit. I walked up to the lady sitting at the desk.
"Hello ms I'm here to see Mr. Carter."
"Okay one moment dear." She says getting on the phone.
"Uh Hello Mr. Carter someone is here to see you... Name please." She say looking at me.
"Ashley knowles."
"Ashley knowles sir... okay... go up to the third floor last door on your right." She says flashing a smile
"Okay Thank you."
I walked into his office. Shit was huge. Nah huge was an understatement. It was enormous.
"Hello Ashley." He says looking up from his computer.
"Hey Mr. Carter."
"Oh please call me jay."
"Okay."
"Would you like any refreshments, waters, cookies an apple?"
"No I'm okay."
"Okay well let's get down to business."
I assure you there's nothing to worry about."
"First off. Your contract will not be given to you until after you perform at Beyoncé's concert on September 15. Here's how it goes whether your performance is bad or good you will be given ten million dollars. If your performance is bad I'll still sign you but only to a contract of $30 million dollars a year. If you do very bad no contract at all and you will not be an artist here at roc nation but you'll still get your $10 million. If you do great you'll be given a contract of $50 million dollars a year. Also we will shoot the video once it gets enough buzz. Any questions?"
"No." It was a lot for me to take in. This was a lot of pressure but great. Life couldn't be better. I knew I was going to nail this performance, or so I hope.
"Okay great. Here's Beyoncé's number and my number. You and Beyoncé will be rehearsing together. Can I get your number for me and Beyoncé to take for us to call you as well."
"Sure." I gave him my number and that was that.
"Nice doing business with you Ash, can I call you Ash."
"Yes. And you to Jay." With the I left and I couldn't be more happy. Well only if I had a special somebody to dedicate my song to.I wasn't going to update but somebody pissed me off. But it's nobody else fault for they ignorance. Thx for getting this book to 2k❤️
