wraps up. You know how it is with Summer's star power—she can't even grab a bite without Ms. Kiki giving the green light. This
isn't something David and | can call the shots on."
"But c'mon, it's only natural for David to grab a meal with Summer after the show, or at least have a quick meet-and-greet
backstage. David could play the mediator, introduce Summer to Reuben."
Jossie could only make excuses. "Lia, we're tied up with non-disclosure agreements, plus there are tconstraints and whatnot.
We've got to get Summer back right after the concert, and it's not like | don't want to help, but here's the thing—if you can get Ms.
Kiki's approval, I'm on board one hundred percent."
"If she were easy to talk to, why would | even be coming to you? Jossie, I've looked out for you lots, including all those red-carpet
events. Whenever Reuben and David are in the mix, | always let David take the stage first."
Jossie thought to herself, wasn't that because David's more popular than Reuben? The organizers themselves wanted David to go
first. How did it becher doing them a favor? Did David really need someone to let him shine?

"Jossie, dothis solid, will you? If Summer agrees to work with us, David could land an endorsement deal worth a cool hundred
million bucks. It's a win-win. Kiki's just too strict, keeping a tight leash. We want to reach out to Summer directly, get her personal
yes."
"Lia, I'm sorry, but I'm just an assistant. | can pass the message, but whether they meet up is really up to Summer's schedule."
"Jossie." Lia was losing patience, her voice tinged with annoyance. "Everyone shines for a moment, but who shines forever? Sure,
David's a tad hotter than Reuben right now."
Jossie was speechless. Just a tad? David was way ahead, or else why would he be the top dog, not Reuben?
"But who's to say? Maybe Reuben will outshine you one day, and you'll cknocking for our help. Then, | can have Reuben lend
you a hand."
"What's up?" At that moment, Arabella returned from her performance.
It was like Jossie had seen the cavalry arrive. "Somebody's looking to collaborate with you."
"Don't bother, just hang up."
Hearing Arabella's icy response, Lia wasn't deterred but instead pleaded with Jossie to hand the phone over to Arabella.
Jossie, feeling awkward, said, "Lia wants to talk to you for a sec."
Arabella took the phone. "Except for David, I'm not considering collaborations with anyone at the moment. | appreciate your
interest, but no need to call again."
With that, she ended the call.
Jossie didn't expect Arabella to be so assertive. "You have no idea what she was saying on the phone—they think Reuben will be
more popular than David someday."
"And he's not popular now, so why talk about the future?"

Jossie was stunned. Big shots sure talk big when they have the clout.
"He's not going anywhere."
As far as Arabella knew, this Reuben lived a messy private life, often deceiving fans and dodging taxes.
His downfall was only a matter of time.
Then Jossie's phone buzzed again, with different agents asking the sthing—how they managed to get Summer on board.
Seven wanted to buy her out for the inside scoop.
"Summer, you're such a hot ticket. I'm swamped with messages, and they're all about you." Jossie couldn't keep up with her inbox.
Arabella just smiled. "I'm heading back to the seats. Tell David I'll catch a ride hwith Romeo."
"Aren't you going to wait backstage? The concert's almost over, and David's sure to want a word with you." Jossie hastily urged her
to stay.
"With all those fans out there dying for David's autograph and a selfie, if we chat for too long backstage, he'll never make it out."
