“Nice to meet you, President Yard.” Phoebe shook Selena’s hand and gave the latter her name card. At the same time, Selena shook hands with Phoebe while fixing her gaze on Douglas without blinking.
“Our brand, Juniper Fragrances, is launching a men’s perfume. I actually admire Douglas’ impressive musical talent, so I hope he could be the spokesperson for my new launch.”
“It’d be our pleasure.” Phoebe politely smiled as she directly took out a contract. “But, President Yard, Douglas likes to keep to himself most of the time when he is composing new songs, and he could get distracted if there are too many activities. So…”
“Don’t worry. I’m Douglas’ fan too, so I’d of course like to hear more of his music. Therefore, we can definitely work around his schedule and perhaps arrange less activities for him.”
“I see. That’d be nice to hear.” Phoebe was happy to meet such a straightforward client.
In the meantime, Selena knew Chris adopted a new name because he didn’t want anyone to know about his past. After all, she understood it was not something he was proud of, so she didn’t mention anything about it at all. As the discussion was about to come to an end, Selena looked at Douglas and asked, “I love music too, so I’d like to have a word with Douglas in private. Would that be okay?”
Phoebe seemed a little strange upon hearing that. She gazed at Selena before turning her attention to Douglas, somehow feeling a little unhappy. At the same time, she didn’t dare to challenge Selena since the latter was JNS Corporation’s president, who was backed by the Fowler Corporation and the Empire Group. Deep down, Phoebe was aware of the consequences that would follow if she rubbed Selena the wrong way. If I piss her off, there will be no place for me and Douglas in Digton City. Worse, no other company in the entertainment world may want to hire us.
“Yes, of course. Douglas enjoys talking about music with people as well, so I should leave you both to it then.” Phoebe then stepped out of the office with the contract, leaving Selena and Douglas behind in the office.
Douglas emotionlessly looked at Selena and asked, “What would you like to talk to me about, President Yard?”
“There is no one else here. It’s just you and me, so drop your pretense.”
