The bar room at Kelsey Rioâs was buzzing. On stage was a three-piece band doing a cover of a Lady Antebellum number. There was something a bit off about the accordion, and the double bass player had sweat dripping down his forehead.
âDonât look at them. Look at me.â Jared could see Honor wasnât fully on board with his idea. He pulled her hands, directing her attention away from the band and back towards him.
âWhat are we doing? Iâm a professional artist. I donât qualify to be here and I shouldnât be here. I should be doing things the right way.â She put her hand to the fringe on her wig.
âThe slow, antiquated, borinâ, snailâs pace way?â
âDid you just say antiquated?â
âTruth time, Honor. I want you on the tour but I need to sell that to Gear. We need a big name to love you and sign you and get you out of that damn contract with Micro. Who better than Gear themselves? I asked Buzzâ¦â
âWhat? You asked your advisor to pitch me?â Perhaps he should have kept his mouth shut. The look on her face was telling him he was about to get a tongue-lashing.
âNo⦠not like that.â
âThen what?â Her hands were on her hips now. âWhat did you do?â
âSay, thereâs Byron, maybe heâs got some strings on him.â He ignored her last question and headed across the room.
âJared! I mean⦠Randy⦠whatever Iâm supposed to be calling you!â
Byron stood up as they approached. âLoving the look, man.â
âI rock it donât I?â
âSheâs up next.â
âYou got any strings with you? Broke a damn string just outside.â
âI donât. Want me to grab you a guitar? Thereâs a guy I know over there.â
âYouâre crashing my date, doll, you do know that. Have you coloured your hair?â Mia smiled and sucked on her bottle of beer, swaying a little.
â⦠and next we have Cindy Marshall and Randy Mitchell. Letâs give them a warm welcome.â The crowd gave a half-hearted applause.
âWhere is he?â Honor asked.
âWho?â
âFlynn Fisher.â
âThatâs him,â Byron pointed out.
Flynn Fisher was sitting at a table near the front of the stage just a little way away, an iPad, a notepad and a bottle of water on the table in front of him. He was grey from head to foot. Grey hair, grey shirt and trousers, steely expression on his face. Jared didnât recognise him from any meetings heâd had at Gearâs offices. He had to be new.
âCindy Marshall and Randy Mitchell? Are you here?â the announcer called, looking out into the audience.
âListen, if you wannaâ¦â Jared began.
Honor didnât respond. She just turned and made her way up to the stage.
