The rumored future collaboration between Crown and Empire Entertainment went viral, when some insiders from one of the leading agency Empire Entertainment posted a picture of Sandra Mendez's secretary inside the building. The rumor said that Crown Entertainment had sent a proposal to Empire for the said project, which both agencies refuses to confirm yet. Crown and Empire Entertainment are the two of the largest and most successful leading agencies in the country over the years. But unknown to everyone, both CEO's of Crown and Empire Entertainment were actually good friends despite being rivals over the decade since the said companies were founded. The two treated the situation as just friendly competition, wherein, they didn't think merging and collaboration were necessary since they're producing different style of music. However, everyone was thrilled when the rumor started circulating. But immediately, it died down after another shocking news of Thomas Mendez's successor flashed l
'Shit' Sebastian blinked for a couple of times and even rubbed his eyes to confirm that it didn't deceive him. But his brother's voice lingered around and everyone in the cafeteria looked curiously at Simon's weirdness. "Sis Sandra!" he shouted as he ran towards the table where the two were seated. Levi and Sandra, who was wearing a huge hoodie to cover her face, were both startled as Simon approached them. The latter shamelessly sat beside Sandra while wearing a creepy smile. "Simon," Levi warned, but the stubborn guy just ignored him. "You're scaring her," he said, but again, he was being ignored as if Simon didn't hear nor see him. Sandra pulled her hoodie downward and tried to hide her face more, but it was a futile attempt for Simon quickly grabbed her hand and shook it unceremoniously, making her gasped in surprised. "I've met you, finally!" the guy exclaimed in full bliss as if there's a miracle happened just in front of his naked eyes. Sandra couldn't utter a word. She w
Sandra tilted her head as she stared at the closed door in confusion. "Seriously?" she mumbled disbelievingly. She was expecting it to happen, but it still hurts her ego that it actually happened. Sighing, she shook her head. Her eyes then lingered on the door for a few more seconds before turning her heels around to leave. But she abruptly halted when she saw who was standing just a few steps away and watching her. "That was quiet a show," Carmina chuckled. Amusement was very evident in her face as if she'd just witnessed a crime scene that she could use against her beloved enemy. Sandra rolled her eyes, hiding the embarrassment she suddenly felt thinking someone had to see it. And of all people, she couldn't believe as to why it has to be the one she loves to hate. Just great. She grunted inwardly. Her eyebrows arched as she looked straight into Carmina's eyes who was staring intently at her, studying her reaction while one of the eyebrows arched up to the ceiling. She then flip
“Why?” Mr. Park asked, incredulously. Sebastian raked his hair then shrugged, “I cannot handle two names. That will be weird seeing Sebastian Lee and Phoenix collaborated when they are both me,” he explained trying to pin point his main problem. Mr. Park laughed, looking very amused as ever that made him frowned deeper. He didn't like how his boss sees it as a funny reason. “I have not thought of that,” Mr. Park chortled. “I'm going to talk to Sandra about that then. But don't expect that your secret will be safe with me when she asked for your reason” He mentally cursed. That's what he's fucking afraid of. He didn't want anyone, especially that Sandra Mendez to know he's Phoenix, for a simple reason that he didn't trust her. She's very influential and her words were well trusted by general public, as though when she says 'It's not true', they will easily believe it even there's an evidences of it being true. He wanted to live peacefully without something to think about, except f
Sandra monitored every clips in Bammie's music video and as perfectionist as she was, nothing, even the littlest mistakes slid pass in her scrutinizing eyes. Her brows deeply furrowed while her whole attention was extremely focused on the screen. "It's lame," she commented after she finished watching the last clip. "Bammie shouldn't cry. The song was full of love with no heartache or whatsoever negative words in the lyrics. Why the heck was she crying in that video?" she scowled making the staffs startled for it was actually the first time they've seen her losing temper.Sandra Mendez was known as strict, but very composed person. She never gets irritated nor angry easily whenever her subordinates and staffs made a mistake whether it's a small or huge that may ruin their company. She's always as calm as she takes everything lightly. She's rational and never scolded anyone but rather encourage them to do well the next time instead. That's why the staffs couldn't hide their bewilderment
Sebastian settled himself comfortably on the chair near the glass wall of the cafeteria, as he sipped his favorite strawberry frappuccino while waiting for the sun to set. He could say that it was the only place in the Empire building that can quite relax him. It used to be his studio tho, but for some effing reason, that supposed haven of his suddenly became his stress extractor. He clicked his tongue as he thought about it. Then, his eyes landed on the people hurling outside the building, patiently waiting to have a glimpse of their favorite artist's presence. Shaking his head, he cringed. He really can't understand why those people were doing that. Was a freaking glimpse of the artists' presence worth the long and exhausting wait? They're not even sure if they will see those they've been waiting for. It's like waiting for the bird that once stayed on the attic of their house and left the other day without them knowing if it's going to come back or not anymore. He was busy watching
Sandra's phone rang and immediately excused herself after dropping the bomb to Sebastian, which made the latter felt quite relieved that he has time to calm himself and think of ways to avoid the topic. "Ride or die is yours?" Jamaica suddenly quiried that made Sebastian jumped a little from his seat. He was too engrossed of breathing in and out, he forgot that he was not alone in the table after Sandra left for awhile to take the call outside. Instantaneously, his face became tomato out of shame. He couldn't even take a look on her. Jamaica though, just watched him with her usual blank expression and quickly asked a follow up question. "You're Phoenix, right?" she protruded. It was too damn straight to the point, that it felt like a hammer hit him straight in the face without giving him any warning signals. No sugarcoating, no going around the bushes. It was their first interaction, but somehow, she didn't seem hesitant to ask for confirmation of who he was. Unlike Sandra, whom did
“Why are you so agitated about it? Sandra can keep a secret,” Levi chuckled after Sebastian told him what happened the last night.Sebastian, on the other hand, shook his head then ruffled his hair in frustration. He wasn't able to sleep well, thus, he was not in the mood to joke around with Levi. “Did you just come here this early for that, Levi?” he narrowed his eyes on his friend, “Or were you with them to set me up that night and used our CEO?” he asked, full of accusation in his voice. Levi laughed, “Silly. I don't use people,” he shook his head, “Sandra happened to mention having dinner with you last night, so, I woke up early and went here to know the details from you,” he grinned.“Why not ask her instead?” “I want it to hear from you” Sebastian shook his head in disbelief but didn't probe more. He just finished off his coffee and stayed silent for a moment. It's only six thirty in the morning. Usually, he goes to work at eight, but since he woke up at three a.m and wasn't
