Chapter Nine - Feedback and Resolve

Both you and the knights had had a few days off to recover after the Max Rebo Bonanza. And boy, did you need it. Your mind replayed the moment with Kylo over and over again whenever you closed your eyes. If you let yourself get lost in the memory, it almost was as vivid as the moment itself. His honey brown eyes watching you, your hands entangled. His damp locks tickling your skin as his face came closer. If Christie hadn't shown up, what would have happened?

You shook your head as you brushed your teeth, looking at yourself in the mirror. You had no time to reminisce about that, there was another meeting today, and you needed your mind to cooperate. Putting a brush through your hair, you put on some work clothes and applied lipbalm before grabbing your purse and phone and walking out the door.

"Good Morning y/n", Chelsea, the receptionist, chirped as you walked in, and you waved at her, smiling. "Good morning, Chelsea".  You made your way to the elevator, and once inside it, you decided to visit Christie instead of going straight to your office. Making a stop by the break room inbetween for two fresh mugs of coffee, as well as grabbing two muffins.

"Morning, sunshine", you smiled as you exited the elevator. "A latte and a muffin for you". Christie smiled as she grabbed the coffee and took a grateful sip of the hot beverage. "So how are you doing?", she asked in between sips, cocking her eyebrow at you in a playful manner. "Looking forward to the meeting?" You unwrapped your muffin and took a bite with a grunt, to which she laughed.

You cleared your throat as you leaned against her desk. "Disregarding your obvious innuendo, I actually am. The Bonanza went really well, after all". You finished eating your muffin, leaning over the desk to throw the wrapper in Christie's bin. "Now it's just time for the next step in their career". You sipped your coffee as Christie just hummed in response. "I'll go get some work done, see you at the meeting". With a wave, you walked off towards the elevator. After all, your office was a few floors down.

"Let me start by saying 'Congratulations' ", Hux began as he walked into the meeting room, and Emily, Lily, and yourself clapped politely, while some of the Knights cheered. "We have sold out of all the singles, as well as most of the other merchandise". Hux nodded at Lily, who tapped her tablet. "There have been some very positive blog and social media posts, we've stirred up quite some excitement online, which is good".

You took a sip of your, now second, cup of coffee and nodded, smiling proudly. "May I suggest that we look at opening a webshop for the merchandise, as well as the album release that will be coming up in a month?", you offered, and Lily nodded. "I'll have someone from IT contact you about the webshop details. Now, next I want to talk social media. Most of you have your own social media accounts, correct?" The boys nodded, and Lily hummed as she sat back. "I am suggesting a group social media account, at least an Instagram. It appears most of your fans are active there and on Twitter, and there are growth opportunities on both". Hux nodded and looked at you, quirking an eyebrow. "I'm assuming you will handle that, y/n?", to which you nodded. "Ofcourse".

"Next is the album release. When we have social media running, we could use it to advertise and share teasers of what's to come. How is the album coming along?", Hux inquired, averting his gaze to the Knights beside you. ''Mostly done. We only have a few more vocals to add, and then it just has to be put together and made ready for the album'', Kylo responded, and Hux nodded again. ''Next up is to plan a photoshoot for the album cover, as well as get together to discuss the music video of the single they performed at the Bonanza'', you added.

''Excellent. Emily will get together with you to talk details regarding the album release party in a month, and then I suppose that is all for today?'' Hux looked around the room, but no one seemed to have any lingering concerns. With a nod, he dismissed everyone from the meeting. You and Emily decided to meet up in her office in two hours to discuss the album release party. Your purse slung over your shoulder, and your coffee mug now empty and needing a refill, you walked out the room. As you had set merely a few steps into the hallway, you felt a tap on your shoulder, and you turned your head to look at who had done so.
