Convincing the Devil

“This concert needs to go ahead. Can’t you find it in your kind heart to convince EROS to do it? The people watching will be the poor children and other people in need who would normally never get a chance to attend any of EROS’s normal concerts, you know…” Mark desperately pleaded his case.

I cursed myself and my luck silently inside my head. Of all the people, I had no idea why Mark seemed to believe that I could convince EROS.

“You’re his manager so why can’t you do anything about it…” I muttered darkly.

“You’re right. I’m his manager but EROS isn’t like any other artists contracted here under our agency. He just…does whatever he wants to and nothing else…” Mark complained as his eyes pleaded for me to have mercy on him.
