Chapter 40 Zombie
*Ophelia*
Even though Mac Daddy wanted me on the red carpet tonight, he still had me in the recording studio for hours before finally cutting me loose.
I’m exhausted now, working tirelessly to put this album together. I guess the silver lining to this is that David is excellent to work with and very kind which is a first since I got to L.A. I feel like someone gives a damn. It’s hard to tell what Mac Daddy is looking for, but sometimes, it doesn’t feel like he cares. Maybe I’m just too exhausted to know.
I speak to Asher about the stress, and he’s on edge. “Do I need to come out there?”
“For me to sing some songs?”
“To make sure he doesn’t work you to death.”
My heart sings.
“I want it to be the best it can be, baby,” I insist. “But thank you for looking out for me.”
Asher immediately responds, “I always will.”
