Surprisingly, Ace and Beyoncé sat side by side in the armchairs and were traveling companions. They started talking, but at some point in the middle of the conversation, Ace ended up falling asleep and his head slowly fell on Beyoncé's shoulder, she didn't mind it. in any way and even adjusted her body so that it would be more comfortable for him to lean against her.
Their flight was nonstop, so they spent 6 hours in that position, Arthur ended up sleeping the entire journey uninterruptedly.
They arrived in LA at 1:00 p.m. on February 20th and went straight to a radio interview. It was only at 5:00 p.m. that they were finally able to arrive at the hotel to rest.
Ace would have to share a room with his agent. That even throughout this trip he kept close to Arthur's back and prevented him from doing anything that wasn't in the original trip schedule, that was one of Ace's greatest sadnesses.
Going to LA and not being able to enjoy the city's nightlife was the same as not going at all, it was basically taking a trip for nothing according to Ace's criteria. He can't even see some tourist attractions that in his last life he only heard about. This all had to be left for later, thanks to José's presence the only thing Arthur did in LA was work.
Of course, working in the company of a beautiful girl like Beyoncé was great, which made him suffer less internally for not being able to enjoy the city, he didn't even meet any celebrities. That way he wouldn't have any interesting stories to tell his mother or friends when he got back.
At the end of it all, Ace was unable to go against his agent and had to return to NY obediently, so on February 21st at 11pm he boarded the plane to return. At that exact moment throughout the USA the distribution of the "Crazy in Love" CDS was happening frantically, tomorrow sales of the single would start and the stores needed and wanted to have stocks of this CD.
Recently the music market was experiencing a period of recession, with sales experiencing subsequent drops every year, this scenario was discouraging for all professionals in the field.
In the current phase, it mainly affected small and medium-sized singers, this scenario closed the industry completely to these musicians, but great singers continue to be a safe point for the industry. With each launch, they ensure that every penny invested in them returns with profit to the investors' pockets.
Their appeal to the public completely compensates for this bad moment in the industry and makes these major releases eagerly awaited by the entire market.
They arrived in NY on the day of the song's release and there were 2 hours left for the stores to open and start work. Furthermore, the next day was Grammy day. The two Crazy in Love singers, Ace and Beyoncé, were now each on their way home, but they couldn't stop thinking about the release of their song.
Beyoncé was the person who was most tormented by constant thoughts about the songs, this project was a project that would literally decide her future as a solo singer.
She was tired of being stuck in a group and having her creativity and artistic expression limited by it. So this whole situation put enormous pressure on her shoulders, not that she let anyone know about it.
Beyoncé was a strong and independent woman, used to taking care of and solving her own problems.

At 2 o'clock it had already passed and in a CD store in the Bronx the movement was intense with employees rushing to leave the entire environment spotless, outside a moderate line of people anxiously awaiting the opening, while chatting.
" Hey guys, everything better be spotless. Recently sales have been horrible and today we have a large audience, I want everyone to work as hard as possible and if necessary you won't even have lunch or rest time. Understood? "
As if in chorus, the store's 4 employees ran around positioning CDs of Ace and Beyoncé's newest release in the best possible locations, also taking advantage of the public that would be present in the store, they placed the other CDs of their other songs in evidence, hoping to sell more of them too.

Without waiting, they started sales on the day.
The public, as if hypnotized and as if that entire store with classics from different singers only had the song "Crazy in Love" went directly to the shelves, which had already been previously positioned in a great, easily accessible location.
They looked like a herd of zombies that were following the last living human being on earth.
Without much delay they reached their goal by quickly grabbing the CDs they wanted, they grabbed multiple copies of it taking advantage of the fact that they didn't have any limitations.
After meeting their immediate needs with the female singer's newest song, they dispersed throughout the store taking a look at the other works, some went straight to the checkout, but others stopped to look at the other CDs.
The store had a constant flow of people coming in and out throughout the day, even at closing time. By the end of it they were already calling the distributor asking for more copies of "Crazy in Love". A movement that proved to be common among the many stores in NY that sold CDs.
