Chapter 92


    “Oh right! Elise, I need to tell you something.” Samantha suddenly held Elise’s hand and lowered her


    voice. “Fenix Entertainment was recruiting actors for a new drama set in the ancient era, so I sent in my


    application. But you know what? They told me to go for the audition this afternoon. I was going to ask


    Riley toe with me but she has some personal matters to settle, so can youe with me instead?”


    Samantha was looking at her expectantly.


    Since it was just a self-study session that afternoon, Elise agreed. “Sure. I’ll take the afternoon off


    then.” That delighted Samantha. “Alright. See youter.” After they had lunch, Samantha grabbed Elise


    and took a cab to Fenix Entertainment. Elise thought thepany sounded familiar, but when she


    came to the front door, she realized that it was Jack’s agency. Just when she was immersed in her


    thoughts, Samantha grabbed her arm and snapped her out of it.


    “Hurry up, Elise. It’s starting in twenty minutes. We don’t want to bete.” They went into the elevator.


    There was already a guy wearing a cap in there when they came in. When he saw them, the guy


    lowered his cap. Elise thought he looked familiar, but she couldn’t remember who he was. It wasn’t


    after she got out and saw the posters on the corridor did she realize who the man was. Hey, that’s the


    new best actor—Ernest. “Hi, may I know where’s the audition for Truest Love?”


    Samantha asked a crew member. The crew member pointed to the right. “Walk down this corridor to


    the end. It’s in thest room.” “Thanks.” Samantha took Elise and went down the corridor. There were a


    lot of people auditioning. When Samantha took her number, it was around fifty, so they had to wait for a


    few hours. “I would havee a bitter if I knew it would drag on this long.” Elise calmed her down by


    saying, “It’s fine.


    That means you can be more prepared. Read your script.” Samantha looked at the script she just got.


    “Let’s go there then. You can help me out.” They went to the less crowded balcony, and Samantha


    combed through the script. At the same time, Jack was ying some games on the couch in the room


    next door while his manager was scrolling through some data, looking worried. “Jack, your numbers


    have plummeted.


    You dropped out of the top five on Trending and the poprity ranking. You used to be in the top three.


    Even your songs dropped out of the top twenty on the search list.” Jack answered calmly, “It’s normal,


    Ronald. That’s how it is with the entertainment industry. We should just ept it.” Ronald didn’t like it


    that Jack was being so unmotivated. “Oh, what do you know? The most important thing for a celebrity


    is their value.


    Sure, your fanbase is sturdy, but you’re losing them quickly. All the newbies are starting to gain a lot of


    ground. If you don’t work hard, you’ll be a nobody in two years, tops.” He kept pacing back and forth.


    “Have you beening up with a new song like I asked you to?” Jack answered nonchntly, “Sure.


    I’m doing it right now, so don’t push me. I’m gonna lose this match at this rate.” Ronald stopped pacing.


    “I can’t just count on you. I must call Noel and ask him to write some new songs for you. And interact


    with your fans on Twitter when you have time.

    Keep them interested.” Jack went on ying his game in silence, but after Ronald went out, he put his


    phone down and put on a serious look. Then, he logged into his Twitter ount to read through his


    fans’ments. Finally, he drafted one tweet, but in the end, he deleted it. “Forget it. I’ll just leave it


    like this.” He got up and went out of the room. Every time thepany’s employees saw him, they


    would greet him respectfully.


    “Hi, Jack.” Jack nodded and went past them calmly. It was then he noticed Elise from the corner of his


    eye. She was on the balcony, of course. “This line is hard, Elise.” Samantha had a deep frown on her


    forehead. Elise took a look and said, “Hm, break this into parts and memorize them that way. That


    might work better.” Samantha did as Elise said. When she said the lines again, it sounded much


    smoother. “Fancy seeing you here,” Jack blurted, shocking Samantha and Elise.


    When Samantha saw who it was, she jumped with delight. “Y-You’re Jack!” She sounded excited, while


    Jack reacted to it calmly. He was used to getting recognized, so he just smiled and said, “Hello.”


    Samantha was already gushing with delight. “Oh my god. I actually got to meet you. Um…” She took


    her phone out. “Can I get a photo with you?”


    Jack nodded. “Sure.” Samantha was already buzzing. She went up to him at once, pointed her phone’s


    camera at both of them and snapped their photos before posting them on her social media ounts.


    Elise looked at him. “I’m here with my friend. She has an audition.” “How did it go?” he asked. “It hasn’t


    started yet,” she answered gently. “It might take a while.” Just when they were chatting, Ronald came


    over, looking happy. “Oh, there you are, Jack.” He looked at the girls and nodded at them with a smile.


    Jack then told Elise, “I’ll have to go. Good luck to your friend.”


    He then left with Ronald. “What made you so happy?” Jack asked. Ronald answered jovially, “I just


    called Noel, and you know what he said?” Jack arched his eyebrow. Before he could ask, Ronald told


    him the answer, “He said he’s going to get a newposer for you. Do you know who it is? It’s H! Yes,


    that famous one!”


    Jack wasn’t interested in the answer until H was mentioned. “H? Theposer who only wrote three


    songs but still managed to top the charts for a year? The one who’s still the talk of the town even after


    her retirement? Are you sure it’s the same H?” Ronald knew Jack would be skeptical, so he nodded


    quickly.


    “Yes, that’s right. Noel said he’s friends with H, so if he can convince H, the leading track of your new


    album will beposed by H herself! The whole nation’s going to know you when that happens. H’s


    poprity alone will jack your album up to insane heights.” “But I thought H had retired a long time ago.


    Is she making aeback?” Jack had his own doubts, and Ronald shared that doubt too. However, he


    thought, Well, Noel said he can probably convince H. I bet he must have his own n.
