Stinson looks confused.
"You think that's important? Aimee, you are a pretty girl. Just because you're not out there in a bikini and short skirts to promote your music doesn't take away from that. It just means that you have more credibility as an artist." |

Aimee shrugged.
"Oh well thank you. I just feel like that's what people want to see in every female artist."

"No. Not at all. I know what people want and that's an artist that has talent and skills and credibility."
He smiles.
"That is why I would like to offer you a deal. How about...three albums with unlimited singles? We back you with all the money we need for everything, including videos and tours. We even provide flights and tour buses. Not many labels give you all that." |

"Thank you. I just sometimes feel a bit edgy about my image."
Aimee looked stunned and she placed her right hand on her chest. She was shocked at what she was just offered and she didn't know what to say.
"Oh my.. yes! I'd love that!"
Her reaction was similar to a starstruck female teen who had just seen One Direction.
"Wow."

Stinson smiles a little at her reaction.
"You know it genuinely makes me feel happy to see someone so pleased to be given a chance. It's the best part of my job. No doubt at all. You deserve it." |

Aimee was full of excitement and she was trying her best to calm down.
"Wow, fank you. I mean thank you. This is really something that I might have to take time to soak in."

Stinson smiles and nods.
"That's understandable. Give me a second and ill go get your contract." |

Aimee nodded and sat there, waiting for him to return.

Stinson comes in and smiles at her. He sits back down and slides the first piece of paper towards her.
"Ok so this one is like your actual recording contract. It basically says that you will record three albums for us and that we will fund all of your studio time, PR, marketing, touring, singles, videos and merchandise. I'll explain this one in a second when we tie this one up."
He slides her a pen. |

"Okay."
She read the entire contract, before taking the pen and inking down her signature on the contract.
"Here we go."

Stinson smiles as she reads it and then takes the contract back from her before he signs his own name alongside hers to make it official.
He then pulls out another sheet and chuckles a little. "Now...this one...what it is, is you make a decent percentage from the sales of your records and stuff, and if you do we'll in the charts and stuff, you will genuinely end up being a very rich person. However, at the start, it takes a while for sales to come in and we don't want you to be poor when you're recording."
He turns the paper around and puts his hand over it.
"For that reason, Scott decided a while back that we offer our acts a signing on fee of sorts that means you have money to live off. Like a starting wage. It's your money, straight into your bank to do what you want with. Now....don't be surprised when I show you the value, you know how rich the boss is, and he just likes to make sure that his acts can represent the label well by living the high life until they are earning big bucks from their record sales."
He slides the piece of paper with the details for her signing on fee on it, and the pen to sign it with, before he lifts his hand, showing the figure of $1,000,000. |

Aimee sat there, filled with joy and excitement as Stinson spoke on about her contract.
"May I ask you a question? Would an extended play count as an album?"
Aimee's eyes widened and she placed her hand on her chest. She had never seen that kind of money before. She only had a few thousands of dollars in her bank, but over a million dollars? This all seemed like a dream to her, and it would take a few days for her to realize that this really happened.
"Wow, he must be an extremely generous person to do that. Wow..."

Stinson nods.
"We'll we normally leave that down to the number of tracks. If its got five or less we normally don't count it as one of the albums."
He then laughs when he sees her reaction to the money on offer.
"Generous? No, he's more just mega rich and a flash bastard. He loves to show off his money. He's probably made more than that today already." He chuckles. "But hey if he wants to flash the cash then we as his employees can take advantage of that no problem, right?" He smiles. "But seriously though, that money will be yours and you should enjoy it." |

"Oh, okay."
She laughed a bit and listened on as he spoke about his boss, who had just become her boss as well.
"Well, I guess that explains everything. I'll just save that money. It might come in handy some day."

Stinson smiles.
"Alright we'll just sign on the dotted line there and the cheque will be all yours." |

"Alrighty then." She took the pen and signed her name on the dotted line.

Stinson takes the paper and then signs his own name. He then takes the company chequebook and writes Aimee a cheque for $1 million which signs and then stands up. He smiles.
"It still feels cool to write cheques for this much money."
He holds his hand out to shake her's." |

Aimee stood up and smiled.
"Does it? Thank you Mr. Stinson."
She shook his hand.

Stinson smiles and hands her her cheque.
"I very much look forward to working with you. I'm sure we're all going to make a lot of money together and I think you're going to make some fantastic music." |

Aimee smiled and took the check. She thanked him again and prepared to leave.
"I'm looking forward to working with you as well. Thank you, Mr. Stinson."
