Melody sat at the photo studio, her agent talked to the photographer in the meanwhile. Her agent told her to just relax, sit back on the chair and rest her paws up on the table while they and the photographer set up the scene. She was a bit skeptical but they reassured her that they wont use that as the album cover. They just wanted her to relax as they set up the green-screen in the background.
Truth is they did take a picture as she looked off at her agent with slight uncertainty. After the actual album cover picture was taken they did a few fake ones with her with a mic to trick her into thinking its what they would use.

Once she found out there wasn't anything she could do, her contract made it so she couldn't make a peep of disagreement. She wishes she knew a way to break from this agency and her contract. At least her album is selling well.
