Troublesome 

Chapter 8: Troublesome

'I hate this' Mia could only sigh and curse on her mind. Since the morning confrontation with Donna, she had never been this busy and wanted.

'I just need to clear this up as soon as possible' She have been going to all the agencies that have offered her a contract. She just need to talk to Starlight then she's done.

It was a mistake on her part, she wasn't careful and didn't thought that they are on a public place that somebody could see them. It was pure recklessness.

She laughed at the word she just thought. Recklessness…

Ever since that day, she have always been careful. She really can't afford anymore betrayal that's whys she have to distance herself from everyone. Sometimes she hates this about herself. Being careful and responsible when that is what she hates the most. She knows that she not perfect and never aiming to be one. 'I just don't want to be a bother' the she just laugh like a crazy person until she reached Starlight Entertainment. 'Last one' she thought as soon as she entered the building

"She's here Sir" Patrick secretary said over the intercom "She's on her way up"

All giddy and excited Patrick stood up and jumped up and down unable to contain his happiness.

"Let her enter as soon as she arrives" this decision in not entirely for the purpose of the company. Patrick Fraust is had been a big fan of Mia ever since they encountered each other 6 years ago.

He could clearly remember that day as if it had happened yesterday. Patrick was wondering around HGN Studios when he got lost and reached the practice studios. That day Mia and Terrence were doing some dance routine to be part of their performance. He was captivated by the elegance of her moves.

Starting from there, he started following their group and fell in love more with Mia's talent. 'Now she's going to face me upfront and personal' He just can't hide his nervousness and excitement.

"She's here" Patrick heard her secretary announce the arrival of Mia he turned around and got mesmerized by her presence.

"Good Afternoon Mr.Fraust" Patrick couldn't say anything and just signaled her to sit down. After sitting down it is Mia who spoke first.

"I will be upfront and blunt, I can't accept a full contract with your company all I can offer for compensation for your time and effort for your invested time is to be a contributor to your company. You can reach out to me whenever you have a shortage of personnel" Mia said and just looked at him intently.

Patrick instantly realized the statement of Mia "Like a part-timer? Why not just sign a full contract with us, don't get me wrong, it is for your own benefit" He knows that she's an odd ball but he wasn't prepared for this kind of proposal. Usually he is the one leading the negotiations.

"Nah, I don't like contracts. It's troublesome. Here's my email address, you can reach me via email. I shall go" then Mia stood up and bid farewell to Mr. Fraust.

Patrick only realized what happened when Mia already took her leave. 'Include Mia Lee in our payroll as one of our contributors. Tell the studios that they can call her whenever they need her. Call our lawyer to draft a partial contract for her." He just stood up and looked outside. "She really is troublesome" and just smiled 'Someday Mia, you'll be one of our top artist' and he continued his work before their conversation

When Mia got of the building she just stretched her arms and walked again.

'Let's call it a day… I am tired' then she went home nonchalantly.
