Today is the day we're meeting Purple Ivory and their, definitely better, management in that meeting David was talking about.

But what David really meant was the "adults" were going to talk while the "children" were left in the play room. They didn't even introduce us, they were just get dumped here by one of our workers.

"Well, he was a tad bit aggressive wasn't he..." Melissa says.

"Sorry, it's not the best company."Reece apologies. "I'm Reece, this is Allison and Charlotte."

"It's alright. I'm Melissa, this is Tessa Paris and Nini."

"We've been a fan of yours for ever, it's a pleasure meeting and working with you guys." Nini says.

"Awe, thank you! I listened to some of your music last night, you guys are really good." Reece relies. Should I of listened to their music?

"Yeah, I did too. Your song 'Taken Back' make me cry..." Ally adds. Yeah, maybe I should of listened to their music... I just stay quiet an nod my head. We chat about each others music for a bit and then Reece's phone rings.

"Shit, I gotta take this. I'll be right back." She gets up and goes to the corner of the room. "Oh no... Poor thing... Ok, I'll send Tanner or someone over to get her a change of clothes... Oh... Yes, they can just take her home... Ok, thank you Mrs. Cook... Goodbye." She hangs up and walks back over to us. "Paisley had and accident in class today, she's pretty embarrassed. She we crying." Remember when I said Reece had a daughter? She just turned 5 and is in kindergarten.

"Awe, poor thing! " Ally says. Reece text Tanner to let him know to pick her up.

"I'll postmates her some cookies or something. Tanner is bringing her here right?" I add, totally forgetting that Purple Ivory is here. But I do grab my phone and open up postmates to get Paisley some cookie.

"Who's Paisley?" Paris asks. they all look confused. The three of us look at each other, mouths open like we have something to say but the words won't come out. Do we tell them? do we have to get permission from DaViD?

"She's... a girl I babysit..." Reece stretches out her answer and looks at us nodding, wanting us to agree with her. We nod as well.

"You have time to babysit?" Tessa asks.

"Well... uh.. she... um..."

"She's her cousin. Her aunt is busy often so she's always on the emergency contact list." Reece gives me a thankful look for saving her.

"Aren't you busy all the time too?" Melissa's now asking questions.

"Hence why Tanner is picking her up."

"Then why isn't Tanner just the emergency contact?"

"You know, I don't know. I'll talk to my aunt about that."

"Wait. Who's Tanner?" Nini asks.

"You guys really like asking questions, don't you... He works for our management. He's one of the only people we don't hate. He's really nice and hates how we're treated. He makes it his mission to make sure we're in a good mood and comfortable. He'd do anything for us and we can't even begin the thank him enough for it." I answer. Tanner really does deserves the world...

"We should throw him a birthday party." Ally suggests.

"Your mind."

"I know, I know."

We sat in silence for a minute until Tessa spoke up.

"I wonder what they're talking about?"

"David is probably trying to convince your management team that he should get more of the profit from the tour then your team should. He's a money whore. Mr. Krabs if you will." I say.
