The Spades were left staring in disbelief when Frank told them he owned a showbiz company—and that it was Lycoris Entertainment at that!
Even students like them had heard about it since it was famous throughout the East Coast, and they had never expected to join a company of such grand scale!
Still, their delight was soon replaced by doubts.
Kat, who was always candid, even snapped bluntly, “Hold it, Master Lawrence! Don’t you think that’s a tall tale?! I heard that the top actress Noel York herself works at Lycrois!”
“Hmm, you’re right about that.” Frank nodded. “I’ll give her a call and have her hire you ladies.”
With that, he whipped out his phone and did so, while Kat was folding her arms before her chest and snorting doubtfully. “Keep talking, why don’t you? You, friends with Noel York?”
Soon, a crisp voice spoke from the other side of the phone. “Hello, Mr. Lawrence? I was told you have an errand to run in Morhen. How did it go?”
The Spades were left gaping around Frank, with Kat pinching Lily on the cheek. “I-I’m not dreaming, am I?!”
Lily winced in pain and held her reddened cheek miserably. “What’s that for?! Pinch yourself if you want, Kat!”
“I thought I was dreaming! But it isn’t!” Kat was hopping in excitement. “You really know Noel York, Mr. Lawrence! I’m her diehard fan! I’ve watched her moves, all of them!
“Eh? Who’s that speaking over there, Mr. Lawrence?” Noel asked in curiosity just then.
“Ahem…” Frank cleared his throat and spoke calmly, “Actually, I’d need a few more days before settling things over here… But I’ve scouted a nice girlband for you. Are you hiring?”
“Of course!” Noel was giggling even before Frank finished. “I’d never reject anyone you recommend, Mr. Lawrence… Though I must ask, do they have a name?”
“Uh…” Frank turned to Kat.
“We’re The Spades!” Kat exclaimed, shooting Frank an unhappy look as if to rebuke him for forgetting her band’s name.
“The Spades? Hmm… Where have I heard of them before…”
Noel mused to herself for a moment before exclaiming in delight, “Wait, are they a group of students who often sing at bars in South Morhen?”
“What? You know them?” Frank raised a brow.
“Of course. They’re quite famous!” Noel laughed. “I even heard that the Soranos want them… I’m surprised you beat them to it!”
“Hey, did you hear that?! Noel York has heard of us!”
“Wow, that’s so cool!”
While The Spades could barely contain their delight, Frank shushed them with a gesture before asking, “So? Will Lycoris Entertainment take them in?”
As the girls sat on the edge of their seats nervously, Noel assured Frank determinedly, “Don’t worry. Let me have them for a few days, and they’ll be Draconia’s rising stars!”
The girls whooped in delight right then, sharing high fives as all the doom and gloom before vaporized!
