Chapter two

            Alfred pov:-

As I made my way to my music company, my attention was drawn to a nearby battle arena. I parked my sleek black Mercedes-Benz and walked closer, drawn by the captivating sound of a female rapper's voice. Her talent was undeniable; despite my extensive knowledge of popular female rappers, I had never heard someone so natural and gifted before.

As the producer of the popular pop group EFX, I knew the importance of finding and nurturing such exceptional talents.

I approached the rapper, hoping to speak with her, but she seemed in a hurry and not interested in talking. Nevertheless, I gave her my card, hoping that she would consider calling me. Talents like hers should never go to waste, and I was confident that with her skills, she would have no problem getting into Hemilton Music School, one of the most prestigious music schools around.

I went home that day as I couldn't stop thinking about the girl.

As I settled into the comfortable couch in my living room, I couldn't help but think about the talented female rapper I had seen earlier. I hoped she would give me a call, but deep down I knew it was a long shot. My wife's voice interrupted my thoughts as she entered the room and greeted me with a warm embrace.

As we chatted, my wife's eyes widened in surprise when I recounted the events of the day, particularly when I mentioned the female rapper. She couldn't believe that such a talented rapper existed in New York and I haven't discovered her yet.

We discussed the possibility of the rapper being interested in joining Hemilton music school, but we both agreed that it was too early to make any assumptions. My wife offered her support and wished me luck, but we both knew that the decision ultimately lay with the rapper herself.

I leaned back on the couch and closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. As much as I wanted to help this rapper and give her a chance to shine, I knew that it was not my decision to make. All I could do was hope that fate would bring us together again and that she would consider the opportunity I had presented to her earlier.

With that thought, I opened my eyes and decided to relax for the rest of the evening, knowing that tomorrow would bring new challenges and opportunities.

"Wait a second, I can't just throw that away"

I hesitated for a moment before picking up the crumpled business card.

As I studied it, I remembered Mr. Alfred's offer to help me find a job. I wondered if he could really make a difference in my current situation.

The card displayed his phone number, and I contemplated whether or not to call him. Eventually, I slipped the card into my pocket and made my way home, deep in thought.

"I cannot believe Jennie sometimes," I muttered to myself as I hung up the phone. "She just doesn't understand my passion for rap."

"Rap, singing, popstar, rap, rap, rap, rap, rap!" she had yelled repeatedly during our conversation, mocking my love for the genre "you just lost another job and you didn't even start it yet"

I sighed and rubbed my temples, trying to shake off my frustration. "Tell me where has that talent of yours gotten you in life?" she had asked condescendingly.

I tried my best to not let her get to me as I stared at the crumbled business card on the table. Maybe the strange man today can help me with a job. I had no idea why I thought of that but that was the only thought that came to my mind

I grabbed the card from my pocket and dialed the number on it. The phone rang a few times before someone picked up.

"Hello, this is Mr. Alfred's office. How may I assist you?" the voice on the other end asked.

"Hi, my name is Jina, I met Mr. Alfred earlier today, and he gave me his card. I was wondering if I could speak with him?" I said nervously.

"May I know what this is regarding, Jina?" the voice asked.

"I was hoping he could help me with a job situation. Actually he gave me his business card today and told me to contact him"

"I see. Well, Mr. Alfred is quite busy, but I can schedule a meeting for you if you'd like. How about tomorrow at 2 pm?" the voice said.

"Yes, that would be great. Thank you so much!" I said, feeling a sense of excitement wash over me.

As I hung up the phone, I couldn't help but feel hopeful. Maybe this was the break I needed to finally do something good with my life and not mess things up this time.

Although I had no idea who this man is or where he works, I just have a feeling he can help me out with my situation

"Few minutes after I hung up, I received a message on my phone from mr Alfred's number saying "come to Hemilton entertainment company at exactly 2pm tomorrow"

As I read the message from Mr. Kang, confusion washed over me. Hemilton was the location he specified -

the same company that owns EFX and Hemilton musical school, the school I've been dreaming of attending.

Why would he want me to meet him there?

Was it just a coincidence or was there a connection?

I couldn't help but feel apprehensive about the meeting.

I tossed and turned in bed, my mind racing with different scenarios of what could happen. What if it was a trap?

What if it was just a coincidence and I was reading too much into it?

Despite my doubts, I couldn't ignore the possibility that Mr. Alfred's offer might be the solution to my current job situation. But the thought of going to Hemilton, where EFX was located, made me even more anxious.

What if I saw someone from EFX? I doubt that is possible

What if they thought I was trying to get in through the back door?
