8 Chapter 8-Closer

"I-I who are you representing?" He asked.

"It's a new up and coming record label that we want you to the CEO of." Jacob immediately replied.

"HaHa, you're joking right?. Who's that next to you, your little brother, get out of here." He said.

"I'm 100% serious sir is the son of who want to hire you specifically. If you have doubts refuse now because we will not be accepting failure or half-assed results." Jacob replied.

"I'll accept" he said.

"Good, if you let us in we can go over the contact right now." Jacob said.

After Jacob said that Roger immediately moved out of the way and led us to the kitchen table and he hurriedly moved the dirty dishes that were lying on the table.

"Can I offer you guys anything?" he asked.

"We're good we'll be done soon." Jacob replied.

Jacob moved a little to get the briefcase on the table. He opened and grabbed a 2-page contract out and pushed it to Roger that was on the other side of the table.

"To start your salary will at 75,000 which will gradually increase with how the company is going. You'll be given orders at the beginning of every week." Jacob explained.

"Then what exactly is my job" he asked.

"Merely a figure in the seat and face of the company." I said this time.

Roger had a very serious look on his face, but I knew he was almost jumping for joy in his head. He was one of the laziest friends I had, but he was extremely smart when he put his mind to it.

He scooted his chair out from under the table and walked to a drawer grabbing a pin.

"I just sign here right?" he asked pointing down at the pieces of paper.

"Yes, here" Jacob answered.

"You start December 20th once the renovations are over, please do arrive more cleaned up than you currently are." Jacob said.

After that, we said our goodbyes and left.

[12 days later]

December 20th.

The song has 817,038 views and continually growing. My mother was very curious about where took the video and I just told her a friend's house.

My brother still follows me everywhere around the house and looks at me with more admiration since I became popular.

I got a buzz from my phone and seeing Jacob texted me saying [Renovations are done.] I sighed and replied [I'll be there soon]

I grabbed my coat and called a cab to get there.

30 minutes later I gave the driver what I owed and walked towards Jacob and Roger that were standing side by side talking.

"Nice to meet you Mr.Richards my name is Elliot Blackwood your first client." I said with my hand stuck out to shake his hand.

Roger shook my hand and said "People's record? did your father choose this name? What does it mean?." He asked.

Jacob gave me a little judgemental look because I was selling this fabricated rich boy. I just chuckled a little and replied to Roger saying

"Yes, he chose this name. The meaning of it is we are still on the border of racists accepting we aren't going anywhere so this label will represent the diversity of people. We'll make sure to get the brightest stars... I'll make sure of it."
