Chapter 231 - Queen eting The Nightingale
After Keira received from Johanna about the star from M-Entertainnt, it sohow piqued her interest. She looked at the photos of the known producer and singer. She heard the songs from the singer nad Charlotte and it was indeed akin to Alicia's compositions and also the lody that was put on it. So people might not notice it but lots of musicians and music producers can identify it.
"Here's the video of her singing one of your compositions," Johanna extended the tablet and Keira listened. She closed her eyes and from the song and the way the singer sings it, she knew that it ca from the heart. The emotions also swirled, that's why most of the people who listened might cry.
"Is she coming today?" Keira asked.
"Yes, this afternoon."
"I want her to sing in front of . In the audio room."
"Sure thing." Johanna smiled. "I think she will be another best. I think collaborating with Arianna will make them perfect."
"Collaboration is good. But first, we need to clean up the ss that M-Entertainnt did. We need to compensate her too." Keira was excited to go to war like this. Cleaning up the ss and giving those talented artists a chance. She liked it when they gave another company a big slap. Cleaning up the Entertainnt Industry and Music Industry was hard, but Keira can give people a chance to shine if they have determination and passion.
"I think Leon was in love with this woman after a one-night stand." Johanna grinned at Keira.
"He's lucky to et that girl. I an, we were kind of lucky. But since he already gave an investigation, I will also prepare an apartnt close by so she would feel comfortable."
The Golden Age had an apartnt building for all of the artists who can't afford a nearby apartnt or a house. Also, they provided it for other singers so they could always make it on ti for the company. The benefits were always fair and square. Keira hated it when there are a lot of people who always take advantage of other's weaknesses.
Johanna left her office and then shortly her father entered through the walk-in closet.
"So, are you sure about this new artist?" He asked.
"Yes, I will make sure that she can act and also can do other comrcials. She has one year of experience and I think she knows well how the Music Industry operates." She shrugged at him. "Dad, this girl has a golden plus angelic voice." She said.
"I know that you could do it." He smiled and sat on the sofa. "When will your mom arrive? I'm starving." He glanced at his wristwatch.
"Dad," She called and he looked up at her. "I think they will target anyti. I gave my position to either Johanna or Harvey."
"Darling, I will protect you." He smiled at her to comfort her."
"I know, but I have this feeling that they are going to attack anyti soon. But I hope that they won't do anything stupid on my wedding day."
Henry watched as his daughter only shrugged at their current situation. She continued with reading the docunts and soon, Johanna entered.
"They are here. The audio room is also ready."
Keira stood excitedly and looked at her father.
"Dad, listen closely, okay?"
"Sure," Henry smiled and turned on the television that focused on the recording room on the Presidential floor.
Keira excitedly went to the audio room but she t her first in the guest area with Leon.
"You must be Alicia," She extended her hand toward her. Then, Alicia took her hand with her two hands.
"Yes, Miss President." Alicia smiled warmly. She glanced at Leon and sneered a little.
"You lucky bastard. You found gold, huh."
Leon chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
"Let's go to the audio room. Relax for a while so we could listen to your singing."
She led them to the audio room and noticed that she reached Leon's hand. What was she scared of? But anyway, she will make her a star overnight. Keira makes her comfortable first and lets her drink water.
"So, I heard that you ca from M-Entertainnt."
"Yes, Ma'am." She answered formally.
"For one year?"
"Yes," Alicia nodded again.
"And you write songs?"
"I do." She pulled out her music book and extended it to her.
Keira looked at the keynotes with lyrics on them. It was handwritten and it's a draft, which ans it's original and she made it.
"Hmm," She nodded as she thought of the lody inside her head. "This is good. Can you sing this for ?"
"Sure." Alicia nodded. Keira gestured inside.
"Take any instrunts you like and just go if you are ready."
Keira sat down and didn't put any auto-tune.
Alicia was silent for a while while she's sitting on the piano seat. Then, she puffed so air and opened the case. She positioned her fingers as she started playing that beautiful lody that already hints at a love song.
Red lights, neon lights, in this stage
I was singing a love song but my heart feels wrong
I was drowning in pain from singing this song
Because tonight there's no love for .
You saved , from this terrible night
Sadness and dreadfulness almost take whole
You saved , from this terrible love song
Pain and emptiness almost take my life
Keira couldn't keep her eyes off Alicia. And she knew exactly what the song was all about. She's telling the story of that night when she t Leon and how she saved her from all of the love songs that were requested of her to sing. Then, the next was kind of explicit.
You were the first to show the fullness
The bliss of love that I never felt with him
Your touch was with gentle and care
It wouldn't compare from the selfishness of his touch
After that song, Keira was silent but Alicia was a little nervous.
"It's good," Keira said. But it wasn't just good, it was amazing. The lody could give soone the last song syndro. "Let's talk about the contracts. You will sign the exclusive one and we will give you all of the resources that you need."
Alicia blinked and looked at Leon who was grinning.
"You did it, babe," Leon said happily. Alicia still looked puzzled as she went out of the audio room and went to the control room. Then, Leon hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks. "So, it's an automatic contract signing."
"Did you already prepare it before I ca here?" Alicia asked Keira.
"Yes, I already know everything about it." Keira smiled. "Don't worry about M-Entertainnt. Leon will handle it."
Alicia was a little surprised but then, Keira's secretary ca with the docunts.
"Sit down and read it carefully," Keira said excitedly. "Just tell us if you want to start right away so I can arrange everything."
"Thank you," Alicia said with almost tearful eyes and she read the contract.
"Excuse for a mont," Keira told her. She went back to her office and smiled at her father who bounced his head. "See? I told you."
"We will gain more because of her," Henry said. "I think giving her more benefits would give us more. She's beautiful, talented and she can compose a song. But how are you going to clean up the ss that they make?"
"Dad, we have Harvey and Leon can also hack a few things. Besides, they already have proof. She will receive a big compensation from that company. And the harassnt that the producer and singer made? Leon will make sure that they will be ruined." Keira slouched on the sofa in front of her father. "I started understanding the process of dirty agencies. But soon enough, I will have the Golden Age as one of the clean companies. Although it's not easy and perfect, at least I would know if employees were harassing the stars."
"How is her contract?" Henry asked.
"An apartnt until she wanted to move out, groceries, electricity, water… It's all free. Also, the security is free. I think Leon would always cling to her. She's safer with Leon until the threat is over."
"That's good." He nodded his head. Then, the door opened as her mother ca with a big smile and bags of lunch. Henry quickly stood and kissed her lips. Then he took the bags from her hand and put them on the table. "So, how's your day?" He asked quickly.
"You knew well about my day." Karmina tapped his cheeks.
Keira grinned at their public display of affection.
"Okay, I will go back now to check on my new artist. Please don't make out in my office."
Karmina laughed and Keira left them. She knew that they were already kissing and she cringed. Although she and her husband always do that, Keira still felt a little uncomfortable when her parents were doing that.
"She already signed," Johanna told her.
"That's great. We can start work right away and drag down the M-Entertainnt and Charles Empire."
