"come on, love" my mom shouted from the bottom of the stair
"Yeah, one minute" I mumbled as I slipped my feet into my nude court shoe heels. I picked up my nude bag before heading down the stairs with my curls bouncing behind me. "Ready" I announced as I reached the bottom. She smiled lovingly at me.
"I'm so glad, you finally decided to take part in our company meetings" she gushed. "Your father is in the car" I nodded. "You know, you really do have a future at Island whether is singing or managing" I nodded again and followed her towards our car.

"Good Morning, Mr and Mrs y/l/n. y/n, nice to see you again." The doorman beamed as he escorted through to the office. "Mr Gertler and Mr Mendes are already here along with his family and other colleagues" my mom nodded as she handed her coat to the lady waiting outside the door and my dad fixed his tie as I trailed in behind them.
Once I stepped inside the smell of coffee was prominent in the air. I was oblivious to the fact that the boy who was sitting next to me was extremely gorgeous until I fell over the chair and he offered a hand to help me up.
My face was flushed as I eventually took the seat opposite his mother. I fixed my dress and pushed my hair of my face. I could see him out of the corner of my eye. He was looking at me and pulling stupid faces. I tried to listen in to the conversation but I kept letting out small giggles. He pretended to wrap a rope around his neck and pull it due to the boring conversation.
"y/n, what do you think?"
"Pardon?" I said to my father as he handed me his iPhone 7.
"Take a look at this video of Shawn and let me know?" I nodded and watched the video intently.
"Talented." I stated. "Very talented, cheeky, extremely charming, will definitely have a lot of female fansI continued with a slight smile. "I think it'll be such a good investment for the company; one of the best in fact."
"Do you think?" He questioned.
"Yes definitely!"
"I'm just not sure" he ponded. "The talent is not the problem Shawn" my father said as he changed focus from me to Shawn. "You're extremely talented, like y/n said. It's just your age. I don't know how I would feel about my 17-year-old daughter going into a particularly stressful career at such a young age."
Shawn's face swiftly turned concerned as he may have just witnessed his dreams go down the drain. I glanced over at him and let out a sigh.
"I believe he can do it" I mumbled. Everyone snatched their attention to me and a small smile appeared on Shawn's face.
I had only just met Shawn and I had only seen one video of him yet I believed in him. For once it would be nice for someone to take an interest in the younger generation.
"I do." I said my voice a little bit louder. "For once, dad please let me handle this one. You want me to expand my knowledge in this career so please" I pleaded quickly to my father as I held his hand. He sighed.
"Okay, go ahead" I beamed at him and turned back to the table.
"Congratulations Shawn! Welcome to the team." I let out a large grin and everyone applauded.
Andrew and my parents started to talk about the business side whilst Shawn and I sat outside in the dome shaped chairs.
"Thank you" he said after a while and grinned at me. I smiled back and nodded as I played with my fingers.

"Don't worry about it" I shrugged.
"This may be weird because your parents practically own me now but do you want to maybe -uh- maybe go on a date with me?" He asked as he lifted his hand and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Sure" I giggled nervously. He smiled and Andrew strolled out a large smile etched onto his face.
