Sully’s. “This is in her past and the past is the
past. She chose you, man. She married you, and I know she’s
totally in love with you so stop being so paranoid.”
Kit
resumed her seat at the table and looked at both of them. “Who’s paranoid?” She looked at Sully. “Are you paranoid? Why?” She reached for his hand and
squeezed. “Don’t worry, babe, we’ll
make this new album bigger and better than ever.” She smiled.
He
chuckled and exchanged a look of discretion with Spencer, deciding this was the
best angle to take to keep Kit from knowing the details of their
conversation. He nodded. “Thanks, baby. You’re right.”
Spencer
chuckled and looked at Kit. “Ok,
let’s get down to it. Bombard me
with questions about KMK. Go.”
She
smiled wide, finally happy she was getting her way. “How are we doing? Noticed I said, we?” She exchanged looks with both Spencer
and Sully. “I’m sorry about the ‘my
company’ thing earlier. Bad habit I
need to break. Probably why Dante
hated me enough to create this mess in the first place.”
Spencer
grinned. “No worries, sis. KMK is doing well. We’re ahead of our revenue projections
for the year. The team is cranking
with a high run rate. Sean Finley is one bad ass. We may need to consider promoting that
guy in the new year. He’s brought
in a ton of business, and he is one hell of a director. Would make a great COO. He’s been my right-hand man. Well, he and Danny.”
Kit
exchanged a look with Sully and the shifted her gaze back to Spencer. “I’m glad they’re doing well, but we
want them on the road with our tours. If we promote one or both of them, we need to have a contingency plan in
place to back them when they’re out of the office on a world tour.”
Spencer
chuckled. “Already working on
that. One step ahead of you.” He pointed to Sully. “And this guy here has brought in a few
million on his own. He’s our top
biz dev producer. No one can touch
him.”
Kit’s
eyes widened as she looked at Sully. He grinned and snickered, shaking his head as he looked at Spencer. “I thought we were keeping that one off
the table. Apparently not.”
Spencer
laughed. “Couldn’t help it,
man. You’re the biggest revenue
generator in the company. We’ve had
five bands sign because you reached out to them, and we’ve acquired eight
artists for renegotiation. You have
one hell of a pitch that people want to buy into.” Spencer looked at Kit. “And I may add that he is quite the negotiator. When Sean, Danny and I got a hold of
what Sully had put together as deals on his own, we were pretty impressed.”
She giggled
and hugged Sully tightly, giving him a long kiss on the lips. “I knew it! Always been a closet business
tycoon! You’re a suit in rocker’s
clothing!”
Sully
laughed loudly and shook his head as Donna returned to the table. He glanced at Kit and shook his
head. “Hardly. I’m an apprentice in training. I’ve learned what I know from you,
Spence and Wes.”
Spencer
took a sip of his drink and chuckled. “Well, you’re a damn quick study for sure.” He grinned. “Not too surprised. Seems anything you put your mind to
turns into money.”
Sully
snickered and shook his head. “Not
always.” He exchanged a knowing
glance with Kit. “Just ask your
sister, here. She remembers the
lean days all too well.”
She
grinned. “I do, but I agree with
Spence. Always knew you had it in
you.” She shifted her attention to
Spencer. “Ok, so revenues are
up. That’s good. Do you want me to step in while you’re
out visiting Nana or do you think Sean and Danny are up to it?”
He
shrugged his shoulders. “They’re
good. Although, I think you should
pop by now that you have some extra time on your hands.
