Pierce Couffaine

“Sorry I’m late.” David Hiraga apologized as he slid into the seat in front of Pierce.

Pierce waved his apology, “No worries, I had time to get coffee,” he wouldn’t tell his brothers agent off, even if he was jealous of his brother’s success over his. “What did you need to talk about?” he asked, curious to know what David had for him, even though he wasn’t his agent.

“I have a proposition for you,” David said, looking around the coffee shop as if there might be someone there eavesdropping, but no one was paying attention to them because no one knew who they were. “Artemis. I know you two have had your issues in the past.” He put up a hand when Pierce opened his mouth to argue. “But you two both have something to gain from this.”

Pierce was ready to tell David off, not wanting to work with Artemis again after what she and her parents had done. He hadn’t planned on telling anyone about her drug abuse, but her parents had told her to get him kicked off the show in case he did. He had been hurt by that action because he thought Artemis and him had been close at the time. “What is this proposition.”

David let the silence fall between them, as if he was trying to build tension or was trying to figure out the best way to phrase what he was going to suggest. “You two date. A budding little romance. She comes out as clean, which she had gone to rehab and been treated.” he explained to Pierce.

Pierce already knew this, since he had been keeping track of her since they had worked together, and she was in a bad with his brother. He let David explain though, having a feeling he needed to say this.

“With your connection with her on the show as well as your brother being in the band, you could jump up in fame too.” David said, making a good point in Pierce’s mind. “You have a few days to decide.”
