Jossie instantly got the drift. "Lia, the timing couldn't be worse. Ms. Kiki just told me to whisk Summer away the minute the concert 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 I 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 time constraints and whatnot. We've got to get Summer back right after the concert, and it's not like I 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."
