Chapter 31: Chapter 31 - Meeting the Group's Manager
"So, you ar't joking with me, right?" Yuna asked as she held Darius's hand, barely able to stay still. "I can start my music career."
"Yes. You've gott a lot better rectly. I can tell with just one look at you."
Yuna frowned wh he said that since she had no idea about how that was ev possible in the first place.
Darius had just announced to her that she would be doing a tryout for a group at a nearby music studio. At first, she wasn't too happy about the fact that she would need to join a group of people... but everyone has to start somewhere.
That's what Darius had told her to convince her to come to the Apex Music Studio.
"Is that the place?" Yuna asked as she looked up.
They had just arrived at the studio as it was still early in the morning. Darius still hadn't received any calls from Avery, and that was a good thing, considering that Yuna would have turned jealous if she had known that he had a new recruit.
Still, he would have to tell her soon ough, or else he would lose her trust a little. He wouldn't do it right now though. It was better for her to focus on the task ahead of her than to worry about another girl who wasn't ev remotely important at the momt.
The Music Studio from the outside didn't look like the best of the best. However, it was clear that it was somewhat maintained. Either way, what mattered the most was what happed inside.
Soon after, they tered the building.
Right as they crossed the doors, one person was waiting in front of them. It was a tall man with pretty okay features. With one quick glance, Darius noticed that he was the one who had messaged him on her histogram.
Darius took the reigns as he held out his hand. "Nice to meet you. I don't think we exchanged names just yet."
"Uh...right. I'm Jack, and you are?"
"Oh, right. We talked through her histogram account, which I'm managing. I'm the one you've be talking to for all this time. I'm Darius, and this is Yuna."
Jack smirked as he looked in Yuna's direction. "It's nice to finally meet you. I must say, you look ev better in person."
Yuna just glared at him up and down without uttering a single word. "So...where are we doing that test?"
Just as usual, her arrogant attitude showed, and Jack had no idea why she seemed so mad.
"Uh...you can follow me. I'll show you the way."
Darius smiled as Jack turned a. Darius wasn't stupid; he had a good idea as to why he had invited Yuna to his music studio without ev hearing her sing a single time.
Jack didn't give a shit about her skills as a singer. All he was after was her beauty.
However, with Yuna's currt stats, he might be in for a bit of a shock. Still, Darius had to admit that Yuna's constant refusal from other m approaching her was a nice sight. It wasn't something that was common in girls nowadays.
It didn't take too long for them to reach the music studio, as everything was completely empty. After all, it was so early in the morning that there was only Yuna a.
Wh Jack oped the door, he looked back in Darius's direction before adding, "I must say. I thought that Yuna would have come here alone. I didn't think she would have a manager this early into her career."
Darius found that commt weird, but just laughed it off.
"Haha! Well, I thought that she had some talt, so I became her manager."
Jack just nodded his head a few times as Darius was about to ter the studio right behind Yuna. However, as he was about to cross the door, a hand found its way to his chest.
Without much surprise, it was Jack's. He ev had a little smirk on his face as he looked at Darius dead in the eyes.
"I'm sorry. But I like to be only with the artist wh she sings in my studio."
Darius just blinked a few times as his mind wt blank from what he had just heard.
"I'm sorry. What did you just say?"
"I want to be alone with Yuna while she does her audition to become the main singer."
Darius frowned.
That man was a lot ballsier than he had originally thought.
'Is he trying to scout her right in front of me?'
His inttions were so obvious that Darius could see right through him. However, Darius wanted to test Yuna's loyalty to him, and this was probably one of the best ways to do so. Still, Darius needed assurance. He needed to be inside the room one way or another.
"I'll just ter and sit in a corner. You won't ev have to worry about me."
Jack clicked his tongue in annoyance. However, he nodded his head.
"Sure. But just don't talk no matter what happs."
Darius just shrugged.
Now, he had access to the music studio. However, Darius's loyalty test hasn't happed yet.
Shortly after that weird interaction, Darius got into the corner of the room just like he said he would and watched siltly.
Minutes passed by quickly as Yuna sang quite well, and Jack seemed quite impressed by her abilities. He ev told Darius at one point that he had made a great move by taking her as his first recruit.
Still, it was now time to test Yuna's loyalty since Darius was almost sure that Jack would try to poach Yuna the momt he left the room. It would be interesting to see how she would act now that he would be gone for a short momt.
Having this idea in my mind, Darius stood up from the corner of the room.
"I'll go to the bathroom. You can continue without me."
That was obviously a lie, but that was only a detail. He headed out of the room, and now all he had to do was wait for something to happ.
'Let's see... Can I really trust you, Yuna?'
