Josh's POV

Jacob looked up from the paper he was reading when he saw me in his office. He looked startled to see me.

I didn't wait for him to say anything.

"You know what you said about what Joe Catthaway said at the movie premier?" I asked.

"Wait. Calm down. Have a seat first." Jacob said. He was still wondering why I was in his office. I was wondering the same thing myself. We hardly talked since when I fought with Vonnie. I sat down anyways. "So what were you saying? Joe? Oh yes. He said i should consider making Yvonne a co-singer."

"Yes. I think you should do that. Make her my co-singer."

"Why?" Jacob questioned. "You haven't even heard her sing."

"On the contrary." I said and then, I got out my phone and started playing the recording. At first it was just me singing the lullaby and Jacob still looked confused. But then, a melodious voice joined in making a pleasant harmony. Jacob's eyes widened and I smiled. Anyone would be surprised if they listened to this recording. Listening to it again, I was surprised at how good Vonnie was. Can't believe she didn't want to tell anyone how good she was at singing.

When the recording stopped, I took back my phone and smiled wider.

Jacob was still speechless. Like I expected.

"That was..." He rubbed his chin as he searched for the best word. "...perfect."

"I know," I replied.

"Why didn't she ever tell anyone about how good she was. At the movie premier she said she wasn't amazing at singing."

"She's really modest." I said.

Jacob nodded, deep in thought.

"So what you're saying..."

"...is that she should become my co-singer as well. It'll be amazing. It'll bring many fans in and it'll be good for the publicity as well." I hoped Jacob would cave in to my suggestion when I mentioned publicity.

Jacob smiled. "I know what you're doing boy." He smiled.

My smile faltered for a bit. "W-what are you talking about?" I asked innocently.

"Don't think I don't know you Josh. For some unknown reason you want Yvonne Cliff to remain here in Hollywood and now if I give her an extra role, not just co-dancer but also co-singer, you think you can solidify her role here so no matter what she doesn't stand a risk of being kicked out." Jacob laughed. "Smart plan son."

"I-it's n-not that." I stammered.

"Yeah sure." Jacob smiled wider. "Can I just ask why you really want her to stay? Of all the people here, you're the only one who really wants her to stay. And I find that funny because she has hurt you the most."
