Page 86 of Love is a Harmony
Okay, she couldn’t take complete credit. Noah had to agree to doing a solo show right before Christmas. Jo had to sign off on it as well.
And then there was the rest of the label, her team.
But it wouldn’t stop the pride from swelling in her chest. For the last week, everyone and their brother shared the video across social media with various comments. She scrolled down, reading what some were saying. Not all were positive, but that was part of this business.
Who knew Noah Clarke had pipes like that?
She had. Despite seeing him mostly in concert with Jo and other musicians where the music sometimes overtook the lyrics, she’d always known there was something special about him.
Swoon. Can I have his babies?
Melanie laughed at that one. It was her job to make the world fall in love with her clients over and over again.
Okay, now I see why he gets himself in so much trouble. What woman could resist that?
She didn’t like the mention of his scandals, scandals that were in his past now that she knew why he’d acted out throughout his career.
It’s official. Noah Clarke is now my bae.
The fans loved him again. Gone were the questions about the pictures he’d been caught in. Gone were the doubts.
But where is Jo?
There was a chorus of people asking the same thing. They loved Noah, but they loved himwithJo Jackson. They were an unbreakable team, and no one had seen anything of Jo in months. She was like a ghost in this city despite the label’s insistence she at least do a phone interview.
Melanie would never force that on her. She fought for Jo’s privacy like she’d fight for her own.
Except Jo and Noah weren’t her clients anymore.
She opened up an email to Devlin Norris, their new publicist. Melanie had worked with Devlin for years, collaborating when their clients went on tour together. They had a good working relationship, but now it felt like he was taking something from her.
With a sigh, she started typing.
Devlin,
Noah Clarke is the talk of L.A. right now with a viral video. People want more, and it’s a good time to capitalize.
She pasted in the link.
Here are the people you should be talking to about media coverage.
She listed a handful of names and the contact info. All of them had asked about Noah’s media availability lately.
Noah is a good client. Treat him well.

She hit send and leaned back in her chair.
A knock sounded on her door, and she reached forward, scrolling through the emails that still required answers. “Henry,” she called. “I’m a little busy.”
“Um.” He opened her door and peeked in. “I told him you weren’t in like you told me to tell any visitor today.”
She nodded. She had too much work to do for interruptions and no meetings scheduled until after lunch. “And?”
Henry’s face flushed. “Well, he says he’s your husband and wants to see you.”
“It’s Noah Clarke, isn’t it?” What was Noah doing showing up at the label’s offices and claiming to be her husband? It wasn’t that it was wrong, but this wasn’t the place for those kinds of truths.
