Chapter 9: The Chat

Looking at the view count, it already had 200 views, which was quite a lot, especially considering the video had only been released 30 minutes ago. In fact, all the views came from the site where Viktor posted his announcement.

He added the link in his announcement and even said Luminary Media was sponsoring them. How could people not seize the opportunity if it was true?

Finishing watching the video, Lisandra couldn't wait to return to her discussion with Viktor.

The video he had posted was unlike anything she had seen before; it was captivating, with a melody that felt both familiar and entirely new. Her fingers moved swiftly across the screen as she typed out a message

<Wow, I have seen the video you posted; it was really cool; is an original song? I've never heard anything like that before.>

When Viktor saw her message, a knowing smile spread across his face. He had been expecting her reaction.

<It's an original, of course; I have many these kinds melodies in my head; they been head for so long like since was born this world, it's time them to shine.>

Lisandra thought it was a metaphor, but at least, even if they have only this song, their band may really catch fire.

Although she already has an idea about Viktor's band. Still, she has to understand many things.

<Well, let's talk about your band, I saw that you have said a lead singer in mind, is it me?>

Viktor was happy to see his thoughtful act have some effect; his grandma once told him women want to be wanted; it was natural he showed her she was wanted, and it seemed it did work.

<Yeah, it's definitely you; as I said before, you really have a natural talent, and clear to anyone who listens that something special. But, since haven't been trained professional singer, only there are some areas where your skills could be polished.>

He paused before continuing, choosing his words carefully.

<There's no denying your potential, but with the right guidance, you could really elevate performance to a whole new level.>

<And here's the exciting part: my band is about to be officially sponsored by Luminara Media, one of biggest names in industry. This a huge opportunity, not just for me but you as well>

<If you accept my invitation, you'll have the chance to go their United States branch and sign a contract with them. Imagine that—being backed by major media company all resources connections could ever need jumpstart your career.>

<Once you sign the contract, Luminara will set up with a top-notch vocal coach, someone who work one-on-one to refine your technique and bring out best in voice>.

<They'll help you address any skill gaps and hone your talent so that can perform at a professional level. But keep in mind signing this contract means committing to career.>

<It's a serious step that requires focus and dedication. This is your chance to make it big, but you have be ready give everything you've got. Are for that?>

Lisandra felt a bit dizzy after reading the lengthy text Viktor had sent her. She had never received such a long, personal message before, and it took her a moment to process everything he had written.

After carefully reading through it, she finally understood the core of his message. With a soft murmur, she said to herself, "It seems that Viktor really wants me in his band."

Deep down, she knew that joining Viktor's band was an exciting opportunity, but it wasn't something she could accept impulsively.

She had a family that had always supported and encouraged her, and the thought of suddenly dropping out of school without discussing it with them was unimaginable. They deserved to be part of such a significant decision in her life.

She hesitated for a moment, re-reading her message before sending it. She hoped Viktor would understand her need for time. The last thing she wanted was for him to think she wasn't serious about the offer.

<I'm very moved that you think of me like this, Viktor. I also want to join your band; it feels we could really achieve something big together. But hope can give some time over and, more importantly, discuss with my family.>

When Viktor received her message, he didn't think twice about it. Although she may be playful with her emotional life, he understood her cautious nature—she should be someone who always considers her future carefully. It would have been out of character for her to jump at such an offer without thinking it through.

<Okay, Lisa, don't worry,> he added<You have enough time to think about it. I'll be finalizing the band selection in a month.>

Lisandra let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried that her request for more time might seem like she was stringing him along or not taking his offer seriously.

A whole month was more time than she had expected—she had only been thinking of a week—but it gave her some breathing room to weigh her options and talk things over with her family. It was more time than she had hoped for, and she knew she had to use it wisely.

After finishing texting with Lisandra, as a little perfectionist, Viktor was already planning what to do tomorrow.

First of all, no matter what, he must start the next part of his camera project, it's very crucial in his project.

Secondly, he must talk to his father about his band project; after all, it's still very embarrassing to continue borrowing the name of Luminara Media, although he doubts his father would care about this.

He couldn't help but murmur: "It seems that my schedule in the next few months would be very busy."
