“…”
Leon walked over and said something to a few boys. One of them tossed him the ball, and he caught it effortlessly, dribbled a bit, then stood outside the three-point line and threw the ball with force. The ball arced beautifully and swished through the net.
The surrounding boys immediately applauded.
Leon turned to look at her, and in that moment, she seemed to see the boy from her dreams, who often intruded into her dreams…
Everything in her dreams looked so beautiful.
She remembered he wanted her to cheer for him, so she raised her hands above her head and clapped, smiling, “Great job.”
She didn’t know if he was shy, but he walked over with his head slightly lowered.
However, the boy who had intruded into her dreams didn’t have any interaction with her, just like a passerby…
Suddenly, she was afraid that everything in front of her was just a dream. Unable to resist, she rushed forward and hugged him tightly, his warm breath enveloping her.
So real.
Thank goodness it wasn’t a dream.
She closed her eyes and couldn’t help but smile.
“What’s wrong?” he asked from above her.
She looked up, the sunset casting a glow behind him, making his face appear somewhat hazy, but she could still clearly see the handsome face of the boy.
She smiled at him, her cheeks flushed from the sunset’s glow.
“I like you, Leon.”
“…”
“Samantha also likes Leon.”
In the orange glow, she saw him smile slightly, then softly reply.
“Okay.”
During the time spent creating an album for Mira, Thelma was extremely busy. She had to work on the album for Mira while also interviewing several new staff members for the company. During that period, she was either at the office or back home, immersed in writing songs.
On Monday, the studio held its regular meeting. Last week, a cosmetics brand wanted to recruit Mira as their brand ambassador for the Greater north American region, and the meeting was primarily to discuss whether to accept the offer.
The cosmetics brand was called “Snap Herbal,” a high-end brand in the cosmetics industry. Generally, such brands tend to recruit popular first-tier artists, so the fact that Mira, a newcomer, was approached shows the brand’s recognition of her.
Logically, there shouldn’t have been any hesitation. Based on Connor’s experience, they should have made a decisive decision to accept the offer. The reason for the meeting was that the spokesperson for Snap Herbal’s men’s line was Jones Calvin.
This made things a bit awkward.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss whether they should avoid any potential conflict and directly decline the endorsement, especially since the two had had a rather unpleasant fallout a few months ago, and their fans had been at odds with each other.
Thelma asked, “Is it confirmed that Jones Calvin has accepted the endorsement?”
Connor replied, “Confirmed.”
Since that incident, Jones Calvin had signed with a new entertainment company, which was on par with MK. However, Urban Entertainment mainly focused on film and television, with little involvement in music. After signing, they invested heavily to create a single tailored for Jones Calvin.
It was a mix of rock and rap, and when Jones Calvin performed this song for the first time, it dazzled everyone. This dazzling was genuinely dazzling, not in a derogatory sense.
Jones Calvin’s singing skills weren’t great, but his dancing was impressive. Although the song was heavily electronic and had a strong backing track, Jones Calvin’s stage presence and astonishing dance talent, combined with the first-rate expression management of artists debuting in North America, made him shine on stage. With his eyeliner and silver-white hair, paired with the fast-paced music and his dance moves, the audience erupted in continuous screams of amazement.
On stage, he resembled a cold, glamorous vampire—mysterious, enchanting, yet unapproachable.
It must be said that even after the incident upon returning to the country, Jones Calvin’s popularity remained undiminished. Many fans who had unfollowed him returned due to his stunning performance in this song.
Thus, it wasn’t surprising that Snap Herbal sought Jones Calvin as the spokesperson for their men’s line in North America. As for why the women’s line chose Mira, perhaps it was because they recognized her cool and aloof temperament as fitting the brand’s image, or maybe they wanted to leverage the previous discord between Mira and Jones Calvin to generate buzz.
However, as an international brand, it wasn’t necessary to use their past conflicts for publicity; they recognized that the brand valued Mira’s temperament.
Thelma thought for a moment and said, “Accepting this endorsement could elevate Mira’s image. Moreover, regarding that incident, Mira was the victim. Since Jones Calvin can openly profit from it, why should Mira avoid any potential conflict? The ones who should avoid it aren’t us.”
Connor nodded and asked Mira, “What are your thoughts?”
