The drive over to Chasin’s office did nothing to calm my anger. As a matter of fact, once I found out what a pain in the ass it was for me to leave the house, which included a police entourage, I was angrier. Not only did Jameson have to waste his time driving out to the farm, but Jonny personally escorted me over.

What a pain in the ass.

“Viv,” Bobby muttered when we entered the reception area. “I can—”

“I know you can handle it,” I interrupted. “You can handle everything. And you always do. But this is something I need to do.”

“I get that. But maybe you should think about what you’re about to do.”

I turned to face my best friend, dropped the Vivi Rush persona, and waited. I felt it the moment she saw me. I heard the swift intake of breath and watched as her features softened. Gone was my assistant and go-to person for business decisions, and in her place was my friend. Roberta and Genevieve, BFFs since forever.

“Okay,” she whispered. “I get it, honey. I’ll be by your side no matter what.”

And she would. She didn’t care about touring, fame, after-parties, celebrities, or red carpets. She cared about me. How I’d forgotten that was beyond me.

“We’ll figure it out. I promise, I won’t—”

“I’m gonna bitch slap you if you even think about saying the word paycheck. Besides, I already quit, remember?” She smiled.

“Yeah, I forgot to tell you, I didn’t accept your resignation. But we’ll talk about that when we get home. I think you’ve been promoted to something else, I just don’t know what exactly your job duties will be. But I think they’ll include finding people to buy my songs.”

I couldn’t stop my smile when she jerked back in surprise.

“Seriously?” she breathed.

Melissa and Leslie both had been trying to get me to sell my music for years. Something I was firm about not doing. Those songs were mine, they were a part of me, and I couldn’t ever picture someone else singing something that was from my soul.

But now?

Now I wanted no part of this business.

But I wasn’t stupid, so I wouldn’t be making any decisions I couldn’t take back while I was pissed as hell. Except for one—I would be making one.

“Let’s get this done, so we can get home and I can take off this stupid outfit,” I suggested.

“If it’s any consolation, you look hot.” Bobby laughed.

“Come on, goof.”

My gaze swept the room and landed on Chasin. He hadn’t left my side so I didn’t figure he would’ve gone far even though we were safely inside Gemini Group. He gave me a big, bright smile right before he winked.

It sucked he was going to see this side of me. It wasn’t going to be pretty, likely ugly, but he didn’t look like he was disappointed I could turn into such a bitch. He almost looked proud of me.

I pushed my shoulders back, lifted my chin, and calmly started to make my way to the conference room where I knew Len was waiting for me.
