Chapter 459 UNEXPECTED SURPRISE
ASTRID raised his brow when he heard that. Polaris was not the type to favor one artist over the other. Of course, those who were more popular tended to have more opportunities compared to those who didn’t have enough recognition. But that’s something that couldn’t be helped.
Overall, Polaris was a very fair company if one compared it to others. So, having someone from the upper management helped Mirabelle get the song she liked could only mean two things. Either it’s because she’s a super talented singer that the company was willing to invest in her that much or that she had a super connection to someone who the company couldn’t just ignore. 𝓃𝓞𝑽𝓮𝓁𝑈𝔰𝓫.𝓬𝑜𝚖
No matter what the answer was, there’s only one thing that should be considered as important—if Mirabelle had the ability to back it up.
“Is she a good singer, Mirabelle?” he asked.
“Yeah,” Kiran said in a grumble. “Incredibly so.”
Astrid smiled inwardly at how Kiran seemed to not want to admit that, but he still did it, anyway. It meant that he acknowledged her singing ability despite the discomfort he felt towards the girl. Which showed that Mirabelle must really have a very good voice.
Considering that, then the care of the upper management towards her must be because of her talent. Polaris lacked singers compared to their actors and actresses. So, they must have wanted to further cultivate her talent and make her the representative singer of Polaris.
Of course, that was only his guess.
“Is she a newly signed singer of Polaris?” he asked.
Since he knew, at least by face, all the known singer signed to Polaris, the fact that he had no idea about Mirabelle showed the possibility that she might be a newcomer.
“Yeah, I heard she just signed a week ago,” Kiran said. That girl actually heard his song on the day that she signed and since then she had been pestering him, much to his ‘delight’. “She’s still on her trainee period. But once she debut, they’re going to use my song.”
“So it would be her debut song,” Astrid said with a nod. “Then her debut would definitely be a success.”
He knew that Lauren still had work before this. So, picking him up would just be too much of a hassle for the other. Besides, there was also a small part of him that’s secretly whispering to him that he should be the other picking up Lauren and not the other way around.
Yes, that latter one was pretty weird. But in any case, they both agreed to just meet here.
He opened his Terminal and was just about to call the other when he heard his name being called somewhere.
“Reas!”
He turned around in the direction of the voice and saw a blond woman waving at him. He frowned because he certainly didn’t know who the other was.
She had a headband that almost looked like a pearl tiara adorning her long, wavy blond hair. She was wearing a denim jacket over a long, white flowing dress, partnered with a pair of black boots. She was also pretty tall for a girl. But the thing that stood out the most was her pair of dark brown eyes that seemed like melted dark chocolate.
Wait- what?
Reas froze from where he was standing and stared intently at the ‘girl’. Then his eyes slowly widened as he realized who the other was. From the other’s facial features to the way ‘she’ walked, it could only be one person.
“Lauren…?”
When he said that, the other had already stood in front of him, so he heard what he just said.
Lauren grinned. “Oh, you recognized me immediately. And here I thought I could play a trick on you.”
Seeing him up close, dressed in all that with the matching light make-up, Reas literally felt his heat go ‘BOOM!’. It was beating so hard and so fast that it almost felt like he would go on cardiac arrest at any minute.
He couldn’t stop staring at Lauren, feeling a strange heat rising in his chest.
