After driving and waiting in traffic finally the studio arrived Chase couldn't help but yawn. The music director who was going to work with Chase was yet to arrive so he decides to wait in the lobby. He had no reason to work as a singer and a composer but he wanted to follow the path of his late mother for the same reason he was in country A which was her birthplace.

The director JJ whom Chase was going to work with was a famous name in the music industry and at the same time, he was notoriously known as the devil with perfection syndrome. He was bashed by many for pressuring the musicians working under him to impossible. The reason he was working with a newbie who had only debuted 2 years ago was because of Chase's popularity in western countries despite his dark, non-romantic songs. Even though the film was a local movie, JJ was still confident of getting the song he needed as the teenager was known as a polyglot.

When JJ entered his studio his sight fell on the relaxed teenager who was playing with the phone ( In reality he was checking the news regarding today's incident but there weren't any). He was taken aback as he was sure the teenager was not going to be on time but now it made him feel embarrassed for being overly judgemental. He didn't take much time to recover from it and ordered his secretary to send the teenager inside his office.

"May I come in?"

JJ signed the teenager to come in. Seeing the silver-haired up-close JJ finally understood the reason behind his popularity. No matter how he looks at it the teenager was good looking just too much for the But he seemed to be handling it well.

JJ opened his laptop though he had already checked the songs send by Chase, there were things he wasn't satisfied with. Chase never knew his nightmare was just starting.

"'I am fine with the first song. But the second song-'

'Here, don't you think the feeling is lacking?'

'While the song seems to be written well these two lines make sense with the movie scene.'

'And-'

'Well I guess I will give you 1 month to resubmit it.'"

With every comment JJ made Chase's face grew paler. His last sentence made him have a panic attack.

His months of hard work was gone just like that. Though Chase was not really into gossips as most of them were blatant lies spread by media, but he could why JJ was called a devil with a perfection syndrome.

It was a relief Chase wasn't responsible for the third song of the movie or he would have to suffer more.

"I don't think we will need to waste more time. Next time you can come with your manager managerless some formalities."

End.

Chase sighed relief after coming out of JJ office, but to his surprise, he was caught sighing by JJ's assistant. Chase froze for a moment, but the emotions in the assistant's eyes seemed to be pity and empathy, was he not the only singer who got such treatment from JJ? Her eyes were telling he wasn't. JJ seemed to have scared many musicians souls.

"Have a nice day!"

Chase left the studio in hurry he didn't want any more attacks at least not today.

Ring...

Just hearing the ringtones Chase knew who was calling him.

"Park, why are you calling me?"

"Wanna hang out?" Though Park sounded as if he just wanted to hang out, Chase knew that wasn't the case. What was this guy playing at?

"No."

"I am sending you the location, bye."

Park disconnected the call before Chase could utter a single word. There was a smile on Park's face as if something amusing was going to happen.

After a while, Chase reached the location send by Park. It was a restaurant, Chase didn't understand why a guy like Park was doing in a restaurant. It wasn't that Chase has never been there with Park before, but from his experience, he could tell with Park's every action there was always drama, that he hated the most.

Chase pushed the door of the restaurant and to his surprise hee was approached by a waiter within seconds. Chase didn't waste much time and followed the waiter who showed him straight to the table where Park was sitting.

"Why did you call me?" Chase went straight to the point but Park signed him to keep quiet.

Fine. Chase processed to eat whatever Park had ordered, if he wasn't allowed to talk, then why should he care for manners?

"Mr Charles Zimin the contract is unfair for me?"

Hearing the sentence Chase choked on the food while Park passed him water without showing much concern. It was clear from Chase's reaction that he was familiar with the name. Without a second thought, he started to eavesdrop on the conversation.

Though he could hear only one side of the conversation due to the low voice of other parties, he didn't mind it that much.

Seeing this Park's lip were lifted upward forming a grin, Chase never disappoints him. Before coming to country A he had already found some information about Charles Zimin. Though he had to work pretty hard for it, it was worth it. Charles was the first and only person until now who was close to catching Z, in Z's territory. Now that Z was in Charles territory it was going to be more amusing to see.

But that was the only one part of the story as Charles was more known in country A for being the CEO of Galactica group. The No.1 company in country A.

"I will be right, back."
