STAR CROSSED LOVERS

Ch.19

I was in the middle of a meeting when I get a text from Namjoon. I take a glance at my phone and read that the text said it was urgent. I quietly escape the conference room, quickly calling Namjoon.

"Is everything okay?" I ask worriedly.

"Something has come up." He pauses. "Can you please clear your schedule for the last two weeks of August?"

"I'm in a meeting right now, talking about future events. I'll try to set those weeks aside." I say, still confused. "But is everything okay?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were in meeting." He apologizes. "Call me afterwards and please don't mention this call to the boys, especially Jimin."

"Okay. Bye Joons."

I silently walk back into the conference room. The attention is directed towards me when my manager asks, "So how does the timeline work out for you?"

"Everything is perfect, but I'd like to clear the last two weeks of August for personal reasons." I say, making my manager sigh.

"But it would set us back on the album release." He complains. "We don't want to stall the album."

"I understand that it would push the release date back, but this album is different." I answer, and my mind suddenly goes to him. "This album is much more personal than anything I've done before and I need it to be perfect."

"I agree with Molly." My producer adds. "As a successful artist, Molly needs to be one hundred percent sure that the the music she is producing is real to her. And I know she's already there, but this will definitely reassure her of what she's created so far." I smile at him in a thankful manner.

"Alright." My manager nods, a bit annoyed. "So how do you want to proceed."

"I'd like to have my schedule clear for the last two weeks of August." I say, writing my requests down on a note. "Also, I'd like to release a single before the album release. I was thinking on August 24th."

"Without notice?" The agency representative asks.

"I'll release hints on social media about it." I smile. "I'll run it by the creative team as well."

"What about the release?" Another staff member asks.

"I'll have a date set on our September 5th meeting."

"Okay." Michael nods. "Meeting dismissed."

Once everyone has cleared the room, I ask Michael to stay behind so I could talk to him privately.

"I'm sorry for the sudden change of plans." I sincerely say.

"What was that today?" He asks, a bit annoyed. "You never make decisions so quickly."

"I'm sorry." I say again. "Like I said, this album is important to me."

He nods, trying to understand me. "Okay." He pursed his lips. "I'll trust you." I smile.

"Thank you!"

"But this album better be amazing." He says seriously, before breaking into a smile.
