Notes: Okay you're going to have to bear with me on this one cause I went for it. We continue on with their story fast-forwarded into the future. With regard to the specific timelines, I apologise if it gets confusing cause it will. I keep getting confused myself LOL but stubborn me pushed through with this style of writing.

Beca was alone in her office as she leaned back on her chair and closed her eyes. It was barely ten in the morning but she's already had it with this day. She had about fifteen minutes of alone time before her next meeting.

She looked around her office. It was decent sized with high ceilings and it was on the 14th floor so it had a pretty good view. This place has been her second home since they started. She smiled when she saw the different awards and several family photos that were on display all around her office.

Beca ran her fingers on the engraving on her desk. "Indie Music Group". She invested her all in this recording label company and so far so good with the help of her good friends and partners, Jesse, Cynthia Rose and Stacie.

She's living the dream, so they say. She must feel on top of the world, right? She sighed at the thought. Their label is just over four years old, there's so much work to do. There was so much pressure on Beca as well as the company's "success" depended on her. Beca was happy though. Such supportive people surrounded her and her fan base was growing steadily since she's laid low.

"No Beca you are not staying in tonight." Chloe would look up to her laptop screen. She had her hair up in a bun and her glasses on. "What's your excuse this time?"

Beca looks at Chloe fondly. She honestly could just stare at Chloe all day. "That there's nothing I'd rather do than watch my hot girlfriend study all night."

It's been about two months since Chloe kissed Beca at the airport on the day she left for LA. Everyday since then when Beca comes home from work, she would call Chloe. For tonight she had her laptop on the kitchen counter facing the kitchen as she was preparing her dinner.

"I'll most likely still be studying when you get back."

"You know how much I hate going to those things. They terrify me."

"I know. But hey, didn't you say you already made a friend from work? Why not ask her if she'll be there?"

Beca had a networking thing almost once a week where people she worked with would meet up in a bar, drink and get to know each other and mingle with other people in the industry. It was a perfect way to make connections if you were up for it.

"It would have been so much more easier if you were here with me. You're the only one I want to bring to those sorts of things."

"Stop being so cheesy. Come on I really want you to go."

"Why am I getting the feeling that you want to get rid of me?"

"Shut up. Don't flip this on me. All I'm saying is since I am not there you should go out more, make the most out of it. And please, we both know that if I was there, we would be staying in... first for sure."

"Stop being a tease. It's a good three more months 'til we see each other. But you're right. I'll send Amy a text to ask her if she'll be there. If and only if she says yes, then I will go."

"Okay. I think that's fair." Chloe was busy writing notes and Beca found herself just staring. "Well what are you waiting for? Send her a text."

Beca's assistant, who is also their receptionist, popped her head in her office trying to get her attention.

"Sorry, what were you saying?"
