“I have. She has me blocked. I even tried to email her, and it was returned. Amber has been instructed to not forward my calls to her and the roses I sent her early this morning before I fell asleep were refused. She obviously doesn’t want anything to do with me.”
“Try again. You're bound to get through to her, some way. I can speak to Brianna if you like.”
“Uh, guys. That won’t be necessary.”
The pit of my stomach bottoms out fearing impending bad news. I scoff a little. “Why not?” I question.
I look my brother in his eyes and he casts his gaze downward and to the others before back to me.
“Myka has quit.”
The mood turns somber really quick.
The guys attention turns to me, and I know they are wondering how I am going to react. Immediately, I pull out my phone and call her, knowing that I will get the same response as previously. I try a few more times before giving up.
Sebastian calls Lenny to get the details while Mikey and Andy try to call Myka too. Our tour starts in two days, and she was supposed to be at the first show. I guess things didn’t go well today after all.
Sebastian returns to the table after stepping outside for privacy. I’m sure he called Amber. “So, Lenny said this was Myka’s decision to leave. Had nothing to do with him or Meteor records. Her boss said he will get another rep vetted and assigned by tonight. I called Amber and she said she will give me the details later when we go to dinner. I guess that’s it. Look at it this way, Myka was only to be with us for three months, four if the tour is successful. She was bound to leave either way.”
“Yeah, but she was to be with me forever.” In this moment, I realize how this has affected her and how wrong I was to lash out. And now I must figure out a way to get her back.

MYKA
“Good morning, Carter.”
“It didn’t sound like it when I talked to Meteor this morning. So, you’re fucking Simon Ashton?”
Carter doesn’t have a stance against client relationships. But he does care about how his money is affected should those lines be crossed.
“Not, fucking him. We were having a relationship. I violated his trust and he called me out. Needless to say, we are no longer having said relationship.”
“And what did you do to violate his trust, Myka Johnson.”
“I was at his home, and he was playing the piano. I liked it so much I uploaded it to the company site thinking it would be good publicity.”
“Did you get his permission?”
“Um, no sir. I didn’t.”
“I see, and when did you think it was okay to release a recording of our client without his permission expressed either verbally or in a written agreement, Ms. Johnson? You’re smarter than that. I saw the video, and I get it the why. But he is a client we represent, and he could come after CAJ for liability and damages because of your one little mistake.”
“Yes, sir, I know. I’ll turn in my company card and things.”
“Myka sweetie, I’m not firing you. Lord knows I don’t need Tiffany in my ass for that. But there will be penance for what you did.”
“Yes, sir. Just don’t take my job. I love what I do, and I don’t want to lose it.”
“I want you to promise me you will offer an apology to Simon and the rest of Osiris. You will have a talk with Leonard and offer to run added promos at no cost to the company. We will pick up that tab.”
“I don’t think Simon wants me around anymore.”
“I beg to differ. I’m sure he’s over his tantrum by now. But if you are uncomfortable, then by all means, make your decision.”
“Yes, sir. Again Carter, I apologize.”
“It’s okay. You just need to make sure of the choices you make when you cross the lines of head and heart. I’ll call Lenny and let him know that we have talked, I have given you the option on how to proceed. It’s totally your call.”
