2:47 P.M.

*The light flicks on in a dark room; a random employee walks through the door and sees a piano; she walks toward the piano and suddenly starts playing in a controlled manner; she proceeds to start singing*

Make it stop

Sounds so good, I just can't take no more

Turn it down, turn it up, I don't know

I don't know (Know)

But don't stop (Ah)

Don't move (Ah), just keep it there (Right there)

Keep it right there (Mmh)

Keep it right there

I wanna put you on repeat

Play you everywhere I go, e-e-everywhere I go

Play you everywhere I go

Put you on repeat

Play you everywhere I go (Go), e-e-everywhere I go

*Zabi notices the piano down the hall from his offense. He approaches the room.*

Wanna put this song on replay

I can listen to it all day

I can listen to you all day, yeah, you all day

Wanna put this song on replay

We can start all over again, and again (Yeah)

Yeah, wanna put this song on replay

*Zabi walks in the room*

Zabi: WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU???!!!

*The girl is rattled as she jumps and has a scared look on her face*

The anonymous girl: Oh my god, sir I'm so sorry. I was just practicing as I'm on my break at the moment, and couldn't help but notice the p-"

Zabi: What's your name?

The anonymous girl: Um *looks timid* I'm, I'm Farah. I work at the front desk.

Zabi: Well Farah, you know the rules about touching equipment when not permitted.

Farah: Yes, sir I know. *Has a 'I fucked up face' on.

Zabi: But, with how beautiful that sounded. I want to know more.

Farah: Wait really?

Zabi: Yes! That shit was better than half of my artists.

Farah: Wow sir that's huge. I know of you and the empire you have built. I never had the courage to attend any of your talent searches. I just don't like putting myself out there like that being a small town girl from Jersey.

Zabi: Well Farah, one thing I can tell you is that where I come from, you always have to put yourself first. No matter if its competition, your mental health or life responsibilities, putting yourself first goes a long way. I have to go get ready for this interview soon with this reporter. If you ever need me, I am on the third floor. You have a bright future girl. I think a star was just born.
