    you reply to my message? I was worried about you.] The incessant buzz of texts from Matthew had


    Xanthea tossing her phone aside in irritation when suddenly her ringtone red. Tm kinda swamped


    right now.” “Xan. are you super busy?” It was Oliver on the other end, and Xanthea quickly changed her


    tune, “Oh, Uncle! Not too busy. I thought it was a telemarketer.” Ah, I’ve got a bit of a thing to discuss


    today.” “What’s up, Uncle? Justy it on me, I’m all ears!” *Director Hawthorne is shooting a music


    video to promote the uing festival. It’s a big deal, filled with A–list celebrities. It’s a golden chance


    for neers to get some spotlight! We need someone to y the ‘Queen of Pop‘ and I immediately


    thought of you. After your win on The Masked Singer, you’ve be quite the sensation online, nearly


    ten million followers on Twitter! Director Hawthorne is quite impressed with you!” After hearing him out,


    Xanthea refused immediately, “Uncle, that stint on ‘The Masked Singer‘ was just a spur of the moment


    thing. I’m not looking to break into the scene. Please don’t set up any gigs for me. I’m not interested,


    and I can’t act.” “It’s just a music video, love. Your personal shots won’t take more than five minutes, no


    lines to memorize, no acting needed. Just follow the director’s cues, and post–production will handle


    the rest!” “But…” “Xan, do it as a favor for me, would you? Remember the hustle I went through for


    your appearance at The Masked Singer‘?” “Fine.” “Oh, you’re an angel! I’ll send you the details soon.


    Make sure you’re there day after tomorrow, on time!” Hanging up, Oliver sighed deeply. Oliver had

    industry’s darling?” ?? ? ?? ? ? ?? “I know, right? It’s a dog–eat–dog world. Finally, someone’s put Judy in


    her ce! She’s been so arrogant, unting her connections. Thinking she could overshadow you, a


    mere singer–turned–actress wanting the lead in a music video? She even had several haute couture


    gowns ready to outshine everyone!” “Apparently, she spent a fortune and got reced before even


    stepping on set. Must be fuming now!” Laughter filled the room as Isabe admired her fiery red lips in
