"You should stay here at the house, Grantt," I suggested after we finished eating. We were both in the living room, with me busy monitoring social media while he seemed deep in thought, staring at his phone."Can you hear me?" I playfully nudged him, fearing that he might impulsively rush off to see Nikki. This man was truly unpredictable, and I felt the need to keep an eye on him to prevent any potential confrontation."I'm not deaf. I'm just chatting with Wendy. She wants to come over." His voice revealed his stress. "Damn that jerk! Son of a bitch! If I had known he'd pull this, I would have confronted him last night.""Don't curse, Grantt," I scolded him gently."I'm so damn annoyed, Yong! What should I do, huh?" he said with a frustrated chuckle.I sighed in response. Nikki was undoubtedly a troublesome person, and it was evident that he had not matured at all. I had a nagging feeling about his presence last night; he always seemed to seek trouble. If I had known, we wouldn't hav
"Bitch! Don't you know what you did is illegal? I can sue you...""Bring it on, Nikki. I can sue you too for what you did to Grantt. Let's see who ends up behind bars," I replied, trying to match his threat. He gritted his teeth."If you post that, I'll make sure you pay, Yongsann. I can forget what I felt for you once you chose to be my enemy.""Don't worry, I can afford to pay. I'm wealthy, and my husband is even wealthier than you." I wasn't sure if it was the right move to mention my husband, as he seemed taken aback by what I said.I felt a bit alarmed. I shouldn't have said that. Knowing this man, he'll surely dig into that.Aish! Wrong move, Yongsann! You just dropped a bombshell that he might use against you."Husband, huh? Since when did you have a husband?" he sneered. His disgust at my statement was evident."It's none of your business. If you don't clear Grantt's name, I won't hesitate to post everything I have on my phone and recorder."He suddenly approached me and push
"What kind of style do you want? Sexy? Romantic? Popular? Classic?" Pritzzy asked one after the other. She's a well-known songwriter in the country.I joined this meeting because Grantt met Sir Rozen separately. I didn't understand why there was suddenly a hurry to release this song with Wendy. Maybe I'll have to step in as his manager."I want it to be very memorable," I said. "Maybe we should aim it at young adults," I added.Lots of songs are coming out really fast these days. Some become trendy in just a few minutes. It's easy to become famous, but it's also easy to lose that fame."Oh, well, since they've been singing together for a long time, why don't we give the sexy style a try? Like Jazz music, something similar to 'Señorita' by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello."I nodded in agreement. I had no issue with that suggestion. I thought it might be the concept most loved by GraWen fans – a sexy and seductive style, enhancing their chemistry even more on stage. However, while I agr
"What did you say? Why would you want to kill Kenth, huh?" I responded, meeting his intense gaze.His choice of words was nothing but annoying!"Because he's really getting on my nerves," he emphasized with each word he spoke.I couldn't help but burst into laughter before replying, "You've been irritated with him for a while now. He hasn't done anything to you, so why does he bother you so much? Kenth has always been kind to you; it's you who seems to have a short fuse when it comes to him," I defended Kenth.Kenth has been my friend for a long time, and during times when I had no one else to confide in about life's problems and worries, he was always there. To be honest, he simply asked for a small favor earlier, and I lost nothing in the process."Really? Nothing? What about what you both did earlier, huh? That was nothing, right? You always call me a cheater, but look at you!"I winced at his yelling. I wanted to get out of the car to de-escalate the situation, but I knew the door
"Hey!" Lou's voice suddenly jolted me from what seemed like a brief nap while I was focused on my laptop."Oh, hey, Lou. What's going on?" I inquired, not even realizing she had entered the room."Wendy and Pritz have arrived. They're looking for you, so I thought I'd stop by your office."I quickly stood up and stifled a yawn. I had forgotten that they were coming to finalize the lyrics today. I had been too preoccupied with preparing for Venice's music video shoot tomorrow."Oh, right, thanks, Lou.""Alright, I'll head back. Should I bring them here?""Yes, please," I agreed, with a slight request. It's going to be a busy day today."Tsk. Are you still asleep? You look tired. Get some rest," she reminded me before leaving.I sat back down and grabbed my phone. I found Grantt's number and gave him a call. It took a few rings before he answered."Yongsann?" he responded."Where are you?" I inquired abruptly.He had gone home yesterday for his cousin's birthday. He had invited me, but
I rose from my seat and slung my bag over my shoulder. Leaving the studio, I headed to the MV shooting set for Venice. The place was bustling with activity. I meticulously inspected everything, ensuring my artist's safety during filming.With four sets to cover, it was somewhat exhausting. Along the way, I bumped into Director Hannah, and we had a brief chat at a cafe.I carefully reviewed all the outfits and equipment to be used the next day. It was only then that I felt at ease, knowing everything was in order.Venice was taking a break to prepare for the upcoming day, so I paid her a visit to check on her.Satisfied that she was at ease, I made my way back to the studio. I had been away from my office for almost four hours.The rehearsal for Grantt was likely over by now. I wanted to call and inquire about the progress, but I lacked the energy to do so.I slouched onto the lengthy couch and closed my eyes. I needed an hour of rest to gather enough energy for the concert later. Afte
[FLASHBACK FROM YEARS AGO] ~YONGSANN AND GREEL~"Judie..." I gasped when I noticed Judie staring blankly at the shattered wine glass on the floor."What happened?" I asked as I approached her. She wore an anxious expression. It was our first time working on a photoshoot as part of the staff."I-I accidentally bumped it," she confessed, her voice trembling. We were well aware of the strictness of Greel Gomez's team and the warning to be cautious, as the manager had the authority to terminate our employment."It's alright, okay?" I tried to reassure her, attempting to ease her anxiety. We couldn't afford for both of us to panic."What happened here?"We both turned towards Ma'am Celine and Greel Gomez as they made their entrance. While I hadn't met Greel in person before, his face was already familiar due to his rising stardom in commercials and the fashion industry. Undeniably handsome, he often exuded a bright aura in his magazine photos and charmed audiences with his radiant smiles
"Jud, do you remember our first time working as staff on a photoshoot?" I inquired, as I observed her, who had been devouring the fried chicken we bought earlier. Lou was with us as well."How could I forget that? I thought it was the end of my career," she sighed."Why? What happened?" Lou asked.She immediately recounted how she accidentally broke a wine glass during Greel's photoshoot back then."Yeah, I've heard a lot about Ma'am Celine at that time too. I was in a different department," Lou commented."Weren't Greel the one who saved us back then?" I asked. I suddenly recalled the events of that day, and something just didn't seem right.She furrowed her brow. "Didn't I tell you about it?""What? You didn't mention anything," I replied, genuinely interested in what she had to say. She sat up and took a sip of water."It was Grantt, not Greel."I was left momentarily speechless. There was a part of me that believed it was Greel, but I couldn't make sense of his behavior that morni
