Chapter 17: A Deal You Cannot Refuse
Terrence is still bothered by what he saw when he went to Kevin's office. He definitely saw that particular old man 4 years ago too.
"Why are you so out of it man?" Faux snapped at him, they are currently learning the new choreography for their title track, but he was too distracted to learn anything that's why Faux stopped the rehearsals and snapped him out of it
"Can you do the rehearsals today? I think you are too distracted to do it" Ian asked him out of curiosity, they aren't rushing anything, it just so happen that all of their individual schedules were cancelled and they were all free today.
At first, they wanted to bother Mia but she was already out of the house.
Secondly, they also wanted to confirm the truth whether Ysa is really staying at the apartment next to Mia's but no one is also answering, Faux called her and said that she's at Constellation and doing something really urgent.
Argon is also missing in action for about three days now, they can't reach him on his phone so they just decided to let him be for a while,
They can handle themselves all along, they just like the company of Argon and the fact that they have a big brother that will constantly remind them of things they have to do. Sometimes they all forget their responsibilities and do their own thing.
"We can't rehearse when one of us are really distracted, so what are we going to do now?" Ian asked them.
"Can we go to the arcade? Or PC room, let's just play!" Max stated very seriously
Max just wants to relax, since Mia asked him to do something for her, he haven't got any rest even on his day offs so he wanted to just really take a break.
"Let's go?" Faux also wanted to play.
As soon as they all stood up, Argon suddenly entered the Dance Studio.
"Where do you guys think you're going?"
"Arcade?" Max answered with hesitation, inside he was getting frustrated that they won't be having a free time, now that Argon decide to show up at the very moment.
"That won't be good, I need you to go to a brand meeting for a new line, and they want Luna to be the brand ambassador"
Before the guys could even show their displeased at the cancelled day off Kevin have showed himself
"I need you guys to do a good job at this deal, we need this deal" Kevin declared to them as if it is an order that they have to obey.
"I need you to be on you best behaviors today, none of you should act up. Keep your attitudes to yourselves" Kevin does know that whenever Luna does things that they don't want or they aren't interested they tend to show a not so good attitude that can cause those deals with sponsors and contracts go down the drain. None the less they are still Viewbay's most sought after idol group.
As they received Kevin's words, the boys have just decided to go with the flow for now. There no reason for them to rebel against this, it's just a meeting.
"Argon, why are you gone for three days?" Faux asked Argon who is currently driving them to the place of the meeting.
This question of Faux had cause Ian and Max to also ask him about his endeavors in the three days that he was gone, while Terrence is still quiet on the back seat of the car.
Argon keeps on avoiding their questions and looked at his mirror, he looked at Terrence through it and noticed that something is bothering him.
He saw him yesterday went out of his brother's office looking gloomy like he have the weight of the world upon his shoulders. The stress on Terrence is much more visible than compare to the past 4 years.
Argon knows that something is wrong and he knows exactly what Terrence is feeling, He was also at fault of what happened 4 years ago. For his love to his brother, he did something that caused him the love of his life and brother, they were never the same after that. His brother was never the same.
"We're here..." Argon then opened the door for them and one by one they get off the car. Terrence was the last to go down.
"Terrence, can we talk after this?" Argon said to Terrence who have a questioning look, there was nothing to talk about if it's between the two of them but Terrence nonetheless just nodded to Argon.
'I just can't let you live in more pain and guilt, it had change you so much' Argon thought to himself.
"Can we also talk?" Max came out of nowhere and surprised Argon "Mia asked me to ask you a favor"
"What favor?" Mia rarely asks favor from anybody, if it comes to this, it might be really urgent or important
"She said that she needs you to just stay still and be the same" then Max followed everyone inside without waiting for Argon's response.
Clearly, Argon did understand what it meant
'Just what in the world are you guys planning' then he also followed the group inside.
Madam Hera is sitting in front of all of them, she wanted to get Luna as her company's new Ambassador but with terms and conditions.
"I want Luna to be my company's new ambassador, they fit our company's values and Terrence have been one of our models for years, I know them like my own children"
As Madam Hera states her reason, the guys doesn't have any disapproval with this brand, since they have been using this company's product even before they debut.
Kevin as their CEO is very happy with this deal. This will benefit them greatly rather than them benefitting Madam Hera.
"In one condition, I want the whole Luna, including Mia Lee"
