Thumping music assaulted everyone's ears as soon as the lights dimmed. The stage stood proud in the center of the scene. Waving their guitars in the air ecstatically, the band took their assigned places on stage.
Silence reigned but anticipation hung in the air. After a few minutes of twiddling and turning knobs on the amps, the band started playing a familiar tune. Gasps of awe spread across the crowd when a spotlight highlighted the person at the center of the stage.
Everly stood in front with a mic in her hand. Her wavy hair cascaded on down to her waist. She wore a light pink cocktail knee-length dress. The crowd grew wild when they saw her at the center.
A smile formed on her lips before she sang the first lines of her song.
~Don't you miss me at all?
My name, my face, my voice
The way I talk, The way I laugh
Why don't you miss me at all?
Your name, your face, your voice
That sweet look y
Inside the luxurious apartment, Everly is sitting on a long white sofa. The living room has a touch of a minimalistic style. Beige tiles, a big white fur mat in the center, and a small circular glass table.Surrounding it is the white sofa, facing the large smart TV in front. Landscape paintings were hanging on the wall, giving a comfy atmosphere.Everly is finally back at her apartment after having a hectic schedule on her world tour. They arrived last night and she went straight directly to her apartment to rest. In her hand, there was a small jade box.She carefully opened it and stared at the necklace. She caressed it gently and softly whispered, "I finally found you Reyl. Now that I have finished my work schedules, I can now focus on you."A knock on the door came. She hurriedly placed the necklace back in the box and hid it in the secret compartment under the table. When everything was settled, she walked towards the door and opened it." Goo
A snap broke Everly's daze. She blinked her eyes and saw Mary waving her hand at her. Trying to get her attention. "What is it, Mary?""What's wrong, miss? You are constantly in a daze after you leave the director's office. Did the director approve of your leave?" Mary asked.They are currently sitting in a cafe. Taking an afternoon break before going home. Mary had booked this private table for them earlier. Besides, with Everly's popularity, it would be impossible for people not to recognize her immediately.Mary was right. She had been constantly in a daze after they left the agency. It's because of the unusual tone and anxious expression of the director himself. It bothered her.She couldn't easily ignore that scene and, at some point, she believed that it had something to do with the rumored manager."You can just send the approval report to my manager. She will hand that to me so you don't have to trouble yourself, director." Everly propo
The morning of the next day came but they still didn't reach Manager Kim. Everly had already tried calling her several times but no one answered. As she paced back and forth in the living room, holding her mobile phone in one hand. Still calling her manager."Where are you, Manager Kim?" Her voice tightened as worry flashed in her eyes. She didn't have a chance to take a nap last night because of it. She had already asked Mary to go back to her apartment yesterday.She refused at first but after a couple of convincing, she agreed disapprovingly.Suddenly, a strong banging sound on the door made Everly stop. "Miss! Miss!" Mary's shouting voice was heard next. Everly hurriedly opened the door. Mary immediately entered the room.Her breath quickened and her eyes looked eagerly anxious. "What's wrong?" Everly asked."Miss, it's about Manager- Manager Kim. She-" She stammered."Okay, take a deep breath. Calm down." Everly pressed her palms on her
Manager Kim immediately rushed forward and grabbed Everly's arms slightly. Everly stared at her and Manager Kim spoke in a low voice. "What the heck are you doing Everly? Stop what you are doing right now."Everly gently removed her hands from her and she pinched them slightly. Her lips formed a gentle smile and she spoke in a soft tone. "It's okay Manager Kim. I got everything planned out. Don't worry."Everly looked back at Mr. Lawson who is seething in anger. He stared daggers at her, which Everly ignored.She looked towards the darkening expression of the President and confidently said, "So, decisions everyone. Manager Kim leaves, then I leave. A few million won't cause me that much. But can you guys afford the consequences later?""Are you threatening us, Ms. Everly Park?!" Mr. Lawson spoke angrily. His face went red and he slammed the table with his fist. Everly didn't back down and stared at him coldly."If you call it threatening, then yes,
When they returned to Everly's apartment, Mary squealed gleefully. "You are so amazing, miss! Especially that part where you threatened them! That look from Mr. Lawson is so amusing to watch. Hahahaha!"Everly was amused at how Mary acted. A smile formed on her lips when she squealed a laugh while recalling the scenarios that happened in the conference room."Especially that part where you said, 'How about I terminate my contract with this company right here, right now'. That look on their faces. Miss, it's really fun to watch." Mary laughed so hard that her cheeks reddened. Her eyes squinted in delight."Okay. Okay. Enough with that, Mary." Manager Kim said. Mary immediately halted and took a seat on the sofa.Manager Kim went into serious mode and looked intently at Everly. "You shouldn't have done that, Everly.""It's fine Manager Kim. I have everything covered." Everly held her hands gently, assuring her that everything would be fine."B
Everly called Manager Kim to her apartment. Around 9 o'clock, Manager Kim knocked on Everly's apartment, which the latter opened immediately.After taking her seat, Manager Kim asked. "Is there something wrong, Everly?" Everly shook her head. With her usual calm voice, she said, "I'm planning to schedule the press conference next week. Please organize it for me.""Are you really sure about this, Everly? There's still time for you to change your mind." Manager Kim proposed. In her mind, it's okay if she lost her job. She doesn't want Everly to get entangled in her mess.Everly gently held her hand. "It's okay Manager Kim. I can handle it. Trust me.""But Everly, we're still not sure if we will win this. We haven't contacted Dr. Lee yet, which is a very big help to us. And Dr. Wu is also out of reach. The hospital said he filed a leave."After their discussion of Manager Kim's issue, Everly directly wrote a message to Dr. Lee. However, she waited and
In an exclusive hotel suite, inside the bedroom, a woman dressed in a short fitted red dress crawled towards the man lying naked on the bed. Her hands touch his chest and begin to fall in excruciating slow designs.Mr. Lawson lies still on the bed while his hands roam toward the woman's body, slowly unzipping her skimpy red dress. Patricia stood up and removed all the clothes on her body, leaving her naked.Mr. Lawson's eyes sparkled with lust as he stared at the woman's body. Patricia mounted him and sat at the top of him. She smiled seductively and slowly rounded her body, which heightened the l*stf*l atmosphere permeating the room.Hours slipped so fast. The steamy activity ceased a little as both of them lay on the huge bed, completely naked. Patricia's head rested on Mr. Lawson's chest and used her fingers to draw circles on it. While Mr. Lawson's hands went to Patricia's br**st and he gently played on them."It will be Everly's press conference tomo
"Everly, are you ready?" Manager Kim walked inside the room. There she saw Everly standing in front of a mirror, wearing a long-fitted brown dress and a cream-colored leather jacket. Her hair was tied up in a lower bun with some hair loosened around to accentuate her face."Everly, you look gorgeous as ever." Manager Kim couldn't help but compliment her. To Manager Kim, she was the only artist that could pull off any clothes and hairstyles. No matter what Everly wears, she can still come out gorgeous.Everly smiled while looking at her reflection in the mirror. "Yes, Manager Kim. I'm ready.""Let's go. Everyone is waiting for you."They are currently at The Royal Hotel where they are doing a press conference. Ever since the news spread, a lot of people have been paying attention to it. Even Everly's fans protested about it.A lot of her fans commented that she doesn't have to protect that kind of manager. That Manager Kim is just a replaceable one.
