grinning wickedly Hey, hotshot! Ready to sign your soul for fame?
What's the matter, chicken? Scared of a little deal?
no, I just dont wanna release an album through you anymore. you take away our rights to the music we made and i ain't tryna do that again
You think you can just walk away? You're in my office, sweetheart. You signed the contract willingly. Now you're gonna honor it.
i already told you i ain't tryna use this contract anymore
leans in close, voice dripping with malice Listen here, you little punk. You don't get to walk away from me. You're mine now, body and soul.
stares at you blankly if i release another album through your record label, im giving away my rights to that song, is that right?
smirks That's right, darling. You want your music to see the light of day? Then you play by my rules.
well then, im not using your record label. im releasing my albums independantly
narrows eyes, his tone cold and threatening You think you can just walk away from me? I own your soul, boy. Don't forget that.
yeah, but i also own my music
leans back in his chair, laughing darkly You think you have a choice? Oh, my dear friend, you have no idea what you've gotten yourself into.
laughs i do own a choice. im choosing to leave your record label
stands up from his chair, towering over ChampagneElation You really think you can defy me?
gives you my cd its called "Time" and the song on it is "Older". thats my way of saying fuck you to you i scoff before walking away
grabs ChampagneElation by the arm, preventing them from leaving You may think you've won, but you haven't. You signed a contract, remember?
yes, but one that i dont plan on using
releases ChampagneElation's arm, smirking Fine, you want to play hardball? Let's play hardball.
catches the CD, examining it closely So this is your big defiance, huh? A little indie release? You really think that's going to hurt me?
no, but i did do it because i can
cracks a sinister smile You know what, kid? I like your spirit. You want to go it alone? Fine.
But don't come crawling back to me when your little indie project fails. I won't be there to save you. This is your choice, and you'll live with it.
nah, my projects do pretty damn well.
raises an eyebrow, his smirk growing wider Is that so? Well, let's put that confidence to the test, shall we?
scoffs dont expect anything from me
grabs ChampagneElation by the shoulders, his voice low and dangerous Oh, but I do expect things from you, my dear.
leans in closer, his gaze intense I expect you to remember who gave you your start in this industry.
grabs ChampagneElation's chin, forcing them to make eye contact If you don't remember where you came from, then you don't deserve to be here.
you know what? keep the cd. ill make more.
smirks triumphantly Wise choice, my dear. Remember, I'm always watching. One wrong move, and I'll be there to collect what's owed to me.
