Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Over the weekend , Leia made her way to the headquarters of Phoenix Entertainment .
From a distance , she could already see a large group of young women gathered outside the main entrance .
Many of them were holding banners and merchandise , all featuring the same person , Charlie .
Leia mused to herself .
Charlie really is a sensation .
Anywhere he might appear , his fans are bound to show up in droves .
She walked past the eager crowd without drawing attention to herself , watching as they stared longingly at the entrance .
A wave of smug satisfaction surged within her .
These women can only dream of seeing him in person , while if I wanted , I could see him every single day , she wondered .
Sure , Charlie wasnt as warm or protective toward her as Damon was , but after all , they had grown up together for over a decade .
Their bond was real .
If she ever needed anything , Charlie rarely refused her .
That was the privilege of being his sister .
With a lighthearted step , Leia entered the building , only to be stopped by security in the lobby .
Excuse me , maam , do you have an appointment ? one of the guards asked .
Leia flashed a confident smile .
Im here to see my brother .
Your brother ? The guard eyed her skeptically .
And who might that be ? Leia lifted her chin slightly , her voice laced with pride .
Charlie .
The guards eyes widened in surprise as he gave her a once over .
Charlies sister ? Shes certainly pretty , but she doesnt bear much resemblance to him , he wondered .
Leia relished the astonishment on his face .
Thats right .
If you dont believe me , feel free to check .
Please wait a moment , the guard said quickly before turning to the receptionist to confirm her claim .
The receptionist wasted no time making a call .
Moments later , the elevator doors in the lobby slid open .
A man in his mid to late twenties stepped out , his sharp eyes scanning the room .
The moment he spotted Leia , he hurried over with a friendly grin .
Hi , Leia .
Hello , Zick .
Leia greeted him just as brightly .
This was Charlies assistant , Zick . Zick reached her side and spoke with enthusiasm .
Hope you didnt wait too long .
Come on ; lets head upstairs .
Charlies already in the recording studio .
Leia raised a curious brow Whats he doing there so early ? A gleam of excitement flashed in Zicks eyes .
Oh , you dont know yet ? Phoenix Entertainment is planning a collaboration with Lighting Medias top star , Reyna , the queen of pop herself .
You know how much Charlie admires her .
Now that shes here , of course , he wouldnt miss the chance to meet her .
Leia froze for a second , suddenly feeling uneasy .
Wait ... will it be okay if I go in now ? Why wouldnt it be ? Zick chuckled .
In fact , this is a golden opportunity .
Havent you heard the rumors ? Reynas been looking for an apprentice .
If she takes a liking to you , you could rise to the top overnight .
Leias heart skipped a beat .
Her eyes lit up .
You really think I have a shot ? Ive heard your recordings , and honestly ? I think you do , said Zick .
Hearing that , Leia felt an undeniable surge of excitement .
Tthe legendary Reyna were to take me under her wing , that would be far more valuable than just relying on my brothers connections, she wondered .
And when that happened ... When I make it to the top , what will Noelle have left to compete with me ? Leia followed Zick into the recording studio , where a sizable group of people had gathered .
But among them , two figures stood out the most .
One was Charlie , his cool , refined features exuded an air of reserved elegance .
His striking appearance , combined with his distant , almost untouchable aura , only added to his mystique .
1/3 A 9.14 PM Ù Chapter 90 The other was Reyna .
With a breathtakingly sultry figure , she commanded attention with effortless confidence .
She could have built her career on looks alone , yet her talent was undeniable .
Her song The Shadows cemented her status as a pop legend , and even now , the royalties from that one track continued to pour in .
She was , without a doubt , an icon .
Charlie , I brought Leia , Zick announced .
Charlies cool gaze landed on her .
His voice was even , almost indifferent .
Leia , come here .
Sure , Charlie .
Leia obediently stepped up beside him .
+ Turning to Reyna , Charlie made the introduction .
Ms.
Goodwin , this is my sister , Leia , the one I mentioned earlier .
Leia smiled politely .
Its a pleasure to meet you , Ms.
Goodwin .
Leia flashed a bright , sweet smile at Reyna .
Im a huge fan of yours ! I always buy every album you release and keep them in my collection .
Reynas lips curved into a polite smile .
Oh ? Thats very kind of you .
Charlie mentioned that youre interested in pursuing a music career .
Are you here today to record a song ? Yes .
Leia nodded and playfully winked .
I just didnt expect to run into you today .
Looks like my luck is finally running out .
Reyna raised an eyebrow .
And what do you mean by that ? Leia grinned mischievously .
Because I mustve used up all my good luck just to meet you today .
Reyna couldnt help but laugh .
She turned to Charlie with amusement .
Mr.
Anderson , your sister is quite charming .
Charlie , as always , remained composed and indifferent .
Shes just a kid who doesnt know any better , Ms.
Goodwin .
Dont mind her .
Oh , I dont mind at all .
In fact , I rather like her .
Reyna studied Leia with a glint of something unreadable in her eyes as if she were calculating something .
With the same warm and friendly smile , she continued , Leia , would it be alright if I just call you by your first name ? Leia beamed .
Of course ! Well then , Leia , Ive been considering taking on an apprentice for some time now .
I listened to your recording earlier , and I think you have tremendous potential .
Would you be interested in becoming my last and only disciple ? said Reyna .
The moment those words left Reynas lips , Leia could hardly believe her ears .
Leia had spent so much time thinking about how to win Reynas favor , how to prove herself worthy of being taken under her wing .
And yet , without her even making an effort , Reyna was the one extending an invitation .
Is this what they call a miracle ? she wondered . { Charlies brows furrowed slightly at Reynas proposal .
He was just about to speak when Leia blurted out without hesitation , Id love to ! ภReyna watched Leias excited expression and smiled .
Is that so ? In that case , Ill send you an address later .
Come find me there , and Ill have my agent draw up the contract .
Contract ? Leia blinked in surprise .
Reyna explained matter of factly , Since youll be my apprentice , its only natural that you sign with Lighting Media .
That shouldnt be a problem , right ? As she spoke , she turned to Charlie and gave him a playful wink .
I hope you wont mind parting with such a talent , Mr.
Anderson ? Leia has already agreed .
What else could I say ? Charlie wondered .
He looked at her again , his tone neutral but firm .
LeÃa , are you sure about this ? Leja could sense that Charlie wasnt entirely pleased with her decision .
But this was her chance .
To be personally recognized by Reyna was her achievement .
It wasnt because of her brother , or because of the Anderson familys influence , For once , she could stand tall and say that she had earned something on her own .
Even though she knew Charlie wasnt happy , Leia still nodded decisively .
Yes , Ive made up my mind .
I want to join her company .
Charlie studied her for a moment , his gaze unreadable .
He knew exactly why Leia was so determined .
She believed Reyna had chosen her for her talent .
That this was purely about music .
But that wasnt the case at all .
12/3 9:15 PM .
Chapter 90 One song , especially one with subpar production quality , would never be enough for someone like Reyna to take notice .
What Reyna truly valued was Charlie and the power behind Phoenix Entertainment .
If Leia became the bridge between the two companies , any future collaborations would inevitably be influenced by her .
That meant Charlie would have to make concessions for her sake .
He saw through it all .
But he chose not to expose the truth .
Charlie had never been particularly close with Leia , but when necessary , he still looked out for her .
He understood that Noelles return had left Leia feeling insecure and vulnerable .
If she believed this was her moment to shine and if it gave her confidence and kept her from drowning in self doubt , then why not let her have this illusion ? With that in mind , Charlie finally relented .
Do as you wish .
