Chapter 229 - 227: 2 Weeks Before Sumr Break III
After the recording was done, Edward congratulated the girls, saying that their song would surely be ground-breaking. Anyway, after that, he suggested that they have their pictures taken for the album cover later. When everyone agreed, he asked them to wait in the control room as he go ang get his cara.
"My mother will go crazy once she sees my picture on the cover. I'm so excited to see her reaction." Gizel excitedly shared.
"My mother too. Thanks so much for this opportunity Serena!" Milly seconded.
Serena smiled as she nodded her head, "I'm just happy that you also joined in this. Perhaps later, when I co up with other group songs, I can invite you three again to sing with . No promises about them for now though." She explained. She doesn't want to heighten their expectations as she's aware that a lot of friendships gets broken because of things like this.
The girls all nodded still happy as they did not expect this to be sothing permanent. They were just glad to be there now.
When Edward arrived, he first handed a docunt to Serena, "Before we start the shoot, Serena, here's the contract you requested for the song 'wannabe'."
Serena thanked Edward as she took the docunt and gave it a once over. Satisfied with the contract, she asked the girls to read through it first then sign it if they find it satisfactory.
The three had their eyes wide open after reading it. They did not expect that Serena will give them an 5% each for the total profit of the song.
"Serena, is this for real!?" Milly asked. Although she did not need the extra inco, it's still very much appreciated. Besides it will be the first money she will make that doesn't co from her allowance.
"I love you so much Serena! I don't think any man would be as good to as you are!" Gizel exclaid happily as she hugged her friend.
"Are you sure?" Via asked.
Serena nodded her head as she smiled. "You three also have your contributions. It's not like I'm the only person who sang earlier." Aside from that, although they were friends, it's better this way. If you want the friendship to last, you must keep the formality. Especially when it cos to money. She only placed 5% as there were 4 of them, she ca up with the lyrics and lody, so she gets the largest share. Then, Charlton also gets a share because he ca up with the harmony.
Edward smiled observing Serena and her friends, then he also handed one to Charlton for Kylo to sign.
After everyone was done with the signing, they all started discussing how their photo for the cover should be taken.
For 'Nothing's gonna stop us now' deciding to give the instruntalists so exposure, they took the photo with them behind their instrunts while Serena and Charlton both stood behind a standing mic each, looking at each other as they pretended that they were singing.
For 'Can't take my eyes off you' they took a photo of Kylo inside the singing booth. He was wearing the stand-on-ear headphones. He was smiling, looking and pointing using his index fingers with his thumbs raised towards the cara.
For 'against all odds' they chose a more dramatic style. They went to the room they used to take the photo of 'can't help falling in love' and this ti, Serena was alone behind the piano just looking at the keys. He expression sad.
Then finally, for 'Wannabe', they took the photo outdoor to give a more fun and warr atmosphere. The photo was taken with the four girls standing, hugging each other, as they faced the cara.
After all those, Edward invited them to have dinner which everyone accepted. When they got back in their dormitory, it was 8:30 in the evening.

Co next morning which was a Sunday, Serena and Charlton again went to go to their love nest to spend so alone ti. It was 2 weeks before the end of the school year and both knew that they would be busy the coming weeks and would not be able to have the opportunity to spend their ti like this.
The next weekend, they would need to spend with their friends to review for the final exams. Then, after that would be the spring ball, to be followed by the signing event. Serena's parents would be coming during that ti, and she would be spending the night and the succeeding nights in their Ducal mansion in town.
Serena also inford him that her parents would be hosting Gizel's parents from their arrival until they leave for Militea. They need to sowhat get to know each other better to ascertain that they can trust and leave their daughter in their care for about 2-3 weeks considering the travel ti.
On the 19th, they would go to the orphanage to et the children one last ti, then after that, on the 20th, Serena will leave Windsor with her friends. They would et again only in the 28th, and even then, they could only be together for 3 days as Charlton would need to go back to Windsor given his commitnts.
Anyway, Serena would be back to Windsor by the 8th of July, and by then, hopefully, she can still attend the opening of Benz-motors which was tentatively slated on that day.
And so, after discussing their schedules, the two of them spent the whole day in their love nest, being intimate and enjoying each other's company, not letting anything faze their attention from one another.
