Chapter 525 - Vol 7: Ch 525 – Elise and Julian

The spectators are watching the winners for the group category and then to the duet category. All Senians are already familiar with Elise because she always wins first place since 4th Grader for the solo category and only this time that she participates in the duet category because Ellyn already with them and she gives exposure for this talented junior of her. Everyone didn't expect that the Current Student Council President is really has a good voice and so good to listen without knowing that he just singing for the first time because of Elise.

Ellyn: [Ask of no one in particular] hey, are Senior Elise and President Julian dating?

All: [Except Rei and Tae] eh? 

Jinxi: Now you mention that one Ellyn, they might be because after all President Julian is the same as my brother and Ken who didn't like to talk but a very intelligent one.

Yuhan: Right, right and look out the two they are like a couple. Senior Elise is not one and belongs to the Student Council, so how come she's too close with President Julian?

Yuki: Are they perhaps childhood friends?

Ken: They must be after all President Julian is still turning 12 while Senior Elise is already 16.

Ellyn: Geez can't believe the 4 of you but well I'm already expecting the 4 of you to be like this after all you are all naïve.

All: Huh?

Ellyn: [Ignoring the 4 boys and asking the center of her attention] Yu they are a couple right?

Jinyu: Yeah they must be and we didn't see their interactions at school since they are both from High School Department.

Ellyn: Right, right, and geez the 4 of you, tsk, tsk.

All: Huh?

Jinyu: Geez the 4 of you are still a bunch of kids, so don't bother that one after all you're still a kid.

All: And what about you Bro Jinyu / Jinyu?

Jinyu: Of course I'm still a kid but at least I'm still mature enough compared to all of you.

All: ........... 

Meanwhile, the Jun couple is also talking with each other not so loud and enough for them to hear it even the kids are with them they didn't hear their conversation.

"Neh Rei?"

"Yes, Dear?"

"Is Miss Elise the newly signed artist for CA Entertainment?"

"Yes she is"

"I see so that's why she looks familiar, huh"

"She really looks familiar after all we bump into her after that assigned Manager for her meets up and signing the contract."

"Eh, when?"

"....."

"Did we really bump into her?"

"Yes we did Tae and it's around last year after you know that I'm pregnant again for few weeks and you follow me everywhere"

"Ah, I remember it now and so whose Manager for Miss Elise then?"

"Manager Leng and her boyfriend didn't allow her to have a male manager"

"Boyfriend, you mean that young boy?" Ask while pointing the young boy on stage.

"Yes, that young boy and Elise also recommended it to me about him to sign him so that they will debut as a duo but then her boyfriend declined it directly since he said that the only one who can hear his voice is only her and no one else yet today everyone heard, it must be because Elise asks him to do so. You can really do everything for the one you love, huh. Ah, young love and it's nice to be young".

"My wife, both you and I are still young, okay?"

"Ha, ha, ha of course I know but it's quite different from them since they are still in their teens"

"I see and sorry for not meeting you when we are still in our teens."

"Silly, I already know you when you got debuted"

"..........."

----- Flashback -----

Around November and few weeks passed after Rei return to work from her maternity leave, someone visiting her working place.

Knock, knock and knock

Since Rei's office is designed for a soundproof room she can only hear outside and the one who's outside of her office can't hear anything inside from her office. Every day after coming to her office since the day she got to disclose the position as the Artist Manager, Rei let her door open and the visitors will knock to letting her know their presence, so after hearing the knock, Rei raise her head and see who's looking for her before she said to that visitor of her "yes, come in Director He and please take your seat"

"Thanks, and did I disturb you Manager Rei?"

"Not at all Director He and is there something wrong with the new recruits?" Rei asks him this one because he is the director in charge of the new recruits artists.

"As of the moment there's nothing wrong and here, this is the company's new artist to debut this year," said while giving the doc.u.ments to her.

"I see thank you, Director He"

"No worries and she's now ready to debut"

"Okay and is this the only one who will debut this year Director He?"

"As of the moment, yes and the new group we recruit who's going to debut around your leave is still suspended"

"Right and don't worry Director He, our Artist Director is still investigating their issues, so after making sure that they are not involved then they will debut next month"

"Thank you Manager Rei and it's my fault for not protecting them"

"Don't blame yourself Director He and we just didn't expect that prior to their debut, they will be involved in the bullying issue"

"Are they going to debut next month? They've been a trainee for 5 years so I thought they will debut but........"

"No worries Director He because they will, after all, you're the one in charge of recruit and the one who final to say when they are going to debut so just trust your instinct, okay?"

"Okay and I will go now before disturbing your work Manager Rei"

"Okay", Director He leaves right away from the Artist Manager's office while Rei reading the new artist portfolio with all her evaluations. After reading it all, Rei gets her working phone and call this artist's phone number.

Ring, ring, and ring

"H------hello, m----may I know who is this please?"

"This is Rei, Artist Manager of CA Entertainment"

"E---------eh, eh...."

"Relax Miss Elise and I call you for you to come here to my office to discuss something, so just look for me"

"When I'm coming to your office?"

"If your available right now then you can come today until 11 am then from 2 pm to 4 pm in the afternoon"

"Ah, okay I will come today"

"Just let me know when you're already here, okay?"

"Okay"

---- End of call ----

After calling her, Rei goes to the M'dols studio and gives the schedule for their next month's activities then got a text from Elise that she's already outside her office, so she excuses herself. Tae just looking at her wife and after Rei signaling that it's about work, Tae goes back to rehearse. Elise still didn't meet with Rei, so after she got the call she goes to Director He and asks where Artist Manager Rei's office is. Elise with a young boy already waiting inside the office and they just seat on the couch without talking.

"Miss Elise sorry for keep you waiting and this is….."

"Ah, this is Julian, my friend" 

"I see and please wait for a moment." Rei retrieves something from her desk before seating and notices that the two are seating quietly but you can tell that the young lady, Elise is unease compare to the young boy with her who's seating calmly.

"Miss Elise calm down and relax, I call you here because Director He already submitted your portfolio to me since you're now ready to debut. On your evaluation sheets you will debut around June next year, so next month I will introduce you to your Manager since S Elite Academy will be having an examination this month so in order for your study not to be get implicated, I will let you meet your Manager next month. Here, I will let you chose whose from these three that your letting and going to be your Manager in your career after signing the contract until it expires."

Elise still dumbfounded by the good news meanwhile Julian received the Manager Profile from Rei, he just only scans it, and then a few minutes pass, he suggests something to Rei.

"Uhm Miss, may I suggest if Elise can only have a female colleague as her Manager?"

"I will consider your suggestion young boy but may I know why?"

"Well all these 3 Managers are all having high achievements and can help Elise with her Singing Career but as a boyfriend of Elise, I want to be at ease that at least her Manager is not a male. Of course, I trust my girlfriend but still I need to be sure because the Manager will always be Elise the moment she debuts so I did suggest for her Manager to be a female one."

"Julian"

"It's no worries, Elise, you must let inform the company that you already dating because you know whatever happens they will protect you, okay?"

"Okay and so Miss?"

"Okay I accept your suggestion young boy and so here's another profile for your girlfriend Manager" Rei give another two profile to him while the young boy reading it seriously.

"This one, Miss"

"Mmm, Manager Leng, I see" Then both Rei and the young boy are talking business leaving Elise speechless because she feels right now that Julian might be the signed artist instead of her, so she interrupts right away.

"Uhm, Artist Manager Rei and Julian?"

"Yes?"

'What the heck? They are both in sync, are they perhaps the lost brother and sister?' "Uhm, when I'm going to sign the contract?"

"Geez Elise you didn't listen to us at all and Miss just told a while ago that you will be signing the contract next month along with your assigned Manager"

"Oh"

"Are you really sure that you will be alright after your debut?"

After hearing that question, Elise has an idea and asks Rei "Manager Rei, can I recommend you for someone?"

"Yes you can and who would it be?"

"Julian, I mean him, and let me debut with him as a duo so I can wait longer before debuting with him."

"Elise, I only let you hear my singing and no one else, you hear me?"

"Tsk, what a bummer" 

Then after 1 month and around the same month, the groups who got bullying issues got debut since Lina already cleared that the group is the victim of bullying instead of the accusers meanwhile Rei let Elise meet her Manager and then they signed the contract then afterward Rei got pick up by Tae and the two young lovers bump into them.

"Ah, Artist Manager Rei, good afternoon"

"Good Afternoon Elise and Julian"

"Thank you for assigning me with a good manager to manage me"

"You're welcome Elise"

"Who are they Manager Rei?" Her husband Tae asks his wife since it's a new person that he just meets for the first time.

"Elise, the new artist signed of CA Entertainment"

"And who's the young boy?"

"Elise Personal Assistant"

"I see"

----- End of flashback -----

Remembering about something, Tae suddenly said to his wife "geez Hon, I remember that you just told me that he is Miss Elise Personal Assistant you know"

"Yeah I did and ...…."
