No one seemed willing to speak, not even Kasem, but they all turned to look at me. Since when had I become the unofficial leader?
“Okay, so what are your thoughts? Is this what we want? Kasem?”
I looked to him first as it was usually he who had the most to say.
“Of course I want in.” I nodded. That was two for it.
I looked to the others in turn, and each of them agreed. We were all in. Excitement started to build inside me. This was what we’d been hoping for, and now success was almost within our reach.
“I’ll go get Alan back in here then, and we can start talking terms.”
The next couple of hours were spent holed up in the conference room with the two of them, working out the details of the show and our potential earnings. I have to say, the amount of money they were offering was quite staggering considering how unknown we were.
I’d put the money aside for the future or certainly to keep me going until I was qualified. I’d be less reliant on my parents for money.
I tried Beau again, but still no reply. Was I worried? Maybe a little. I’d try again tomorrow, but the rest of the evening was spent at the restaurant, waiting tables and serving drinks. A far cry from the stage and what I really wanted to do, but hey, I had bills to pay.
