The office door swung open.
Brandon saw him coughing up a storm and quickly handed him a glass of water.
"You shouldn't be at work if you're not feeling well! You never listen to the doctor's advice."
Elijah placed the glass on the desk and made a beeline for the restroom. Brandon was about to follow him but got distracted by a live stream playing on his computer.
"Kylee, we're all dying to know why you chose to work with the Dennis Group. Is it because they're offering a boatload of money?" The reporter asked with a grin.
Kylee shot Violette a look, with a twinkle in his eyes. Just as he was about to respond, Violette jumped in, "Nah. Kylee said he's been out of the industry for three years and is back at square one, so he's only taking a small fee."
The room instantly erupted into chatter.
"How did you meet Kylee? Are you guys tight? I noticed you're both wearing white sweaters today..." The reporter continued to grill them.
Violette's face turned beet red instantly.
"That's just a coincidence." Kylee covered for her, "I also have a brown coat on but took it off since it's a bit warm in here."
"Kylee, for your comeback, you must have had tons of options. Did you choose the Dennis Group because you're chummy with Violette? When did you guys meet?"
Kylee replied, "We met when I was sick. The new song was also written during that time."
Suddenly, someone made a request, "Kylee, can you perform your new song live for us?"
This request started a chorus of agreement. Violette shot him a smile, stepped back, and let him take the stage.
The Bourne Group.
