~Mia~

I stood backstage listening to the crowd whistling and cheering as Rebel Stone performed their fourth and final song for the evening. From the moment they’d gone on stage, they’d pumped up the audience with some of their better-known music. I was just happy that Darius took my advice when we discussed their song choices while we sat together on the ride to Jacksonville.

The entire trip went better than expected. So had our conversation about working together. I didn’t think that would be the case after his weird reaction to Wesley when he stepped off the elevator. Part of me wanted to ask what that was all about, but I didn’t want to ruin his mood. When he was ready, he would explain why he had stormed off.

Perhaps that moment would arrive later when we met for drinks.

As if he’d read my thoughts, Darius glanced toward the platform at the side of the stage where I stood. When he winked at me, I felt my cheeks heat. His eyes didn’t linger long before he refocused on the crowd. He’d been super sweet today, which was nothing like the man I’d dealt with since arriving on the tour.

Had we finally made a breakthrough?

“Mia?

I turned toward the masculine voice calling my name and greeted a familiar face. It was Lucian Oliver, a well-respected agent in the industry.

“Hey, Lucian.” I waved as he walked up the stairs and joined me. “How are you?”

“Good as always, darling.” Lucian gave me a peck on the cheek. “What about you? You’re a long way from home. Arizona getting too hot for you guys this time of year?”I chuckled. “No, sir. I’m working as usual.”

“Working?” Lucian arched his neck and glanced around backstage. “Are you here with Brandon or Shane?”

“Neither,” I answered. “I’m here as Rebel Stone’s manager.”

Lucian’s attention returned to me as his mouth gaped. “Whoa. You’re Rebel’s new manager?” His eyes widened when I nodded. “Why would your family send you on such a crazy mission?”

Damn, there were so many opinionated men in this industry. Even after working with the majority of them, I kept getting the same question. People knew my family. Why was it hard for some to believe I could be out on my own, managing a band?

“I guess you could say this is the final test to make sure I’m ready to take over Music Haven.”

Lucian shook his head in disbelief. A second later, he released a halfhearted laugh. “You’re a brilliant young woman. I’ve seen other bands you’ve managed, and they’re phenomenal. Just be careful out here on the road. Tour life is nothing like being at Music Haven.” He leaned in, gave me a hug, then eased back. “Take care of yourself. You have my number if you need anything.”

I nodded. “See you later, Lucian.”

When he turned to leave, he came within an inch of colliding with one of the roadies. It took me a second to realize it was Wesley.

“Sorry, man. My bad,” Wesley apologized as Lucian waved it off.
