The set rules

The next day the collaboration meeting went well. But I told them I will give my final answer in two days. As I need something to discuss with Little Moon before I sign the contract.

"Why didn't you sign it George?" asked Lee.

"I want to get Little Moon to join in with this. Firstly with her artistic side ."

"Second?"

"In-person as my future, I want her to work with me."

"Oh, I see, to create a positive awareness of inner beauty."

I laughed at Lee. He understands within seconds of me saying something.

"She needs her own recognition. She has been hiding for a long time." I told while calling Little Moon.

"Good Morning."

"HI.."

"How are you now? Does your head still ache?" I was really worried about her health.

"Hmm... better now. I forgot I shouldn't eat those fruit. It's my bad."

I laughed at her.

"So how was your meeting?" so she remembered.

"I still didn't give them a word but I want you to join me with the collaboration."

"What!!!! Why?"

"One you are talented and your work is perfect for their brand in the first phase and next you are my partner in good and bad. I want you to appear in the collaboration on the second phase."

"Wait till I sit down. This is a tall order to digest." I couldn't help laughing at what she said. It's challenging to her but it will be good practice for future events.

"I have talked with Mr.D about these things and he has already given a thumbs up. But are you ready to accept a challenge on appearing on these ads?"

"But....I..."

"I will be with you. You won't be alone. If you don't I will give up the collaboration with them. The filming of ads can be done where you are and they all come after the filming of the drama."

"Hmm...."

"Dear, Listen.. I know you can do this. Me and Brother D all are with you. We want you to get the recognition you deserve."

I gave her a few minutes to think.

"Ok I will do it..but promise me you will be with me. You know I get a bit nervous."

"Sure. I will be always there and so will Brother D and Ted."

I was happy she agreed to do it without too much pressure. Now I have to think of how to convince the brand manager to accept her. They did mention her, inquiring who she is and if she is a model or a famous personality.

"Even though I am a celebrity, she is a simple girl who lives her life well hidden. But I have to say most of you know her work, but not as the creator of them." I told them.

"Really?"

"Hmm... you will know more when the time is right." I was surprised to see their faces.

"Do you mean the girl you were dancing with, in that clip, was her?" said one of the partners at the discussion.

"Yes." I nodded my head. They do seem to follow me really well.

"Didn't she look so ordinary and simple? How can such a person be your future wife? I am a little surprised, George."

"Wait till you all meet her and see her work. I am not bragging or anything but you all will love her when you'll meet her and get to know her better."

----------------------------------------------------

I called the brand manager the next day but I told them I have a condition.

"May I know what are your conditions Mr. George?"

"If I am collaborating with you I will need to use an internationally recognized artist with me."

"Do you have someone in mind?"

"Yes, she is my fiancee."

"What she is internationally recognized?! I'm so surprised to hear this."

"Yes I will tell you more about her later, but I want to do is this. She might help with the visuals first, and later I will coax her to participate in the advertisements."

"Why do you need to coax her?"

"She is an extreme introvert."

"Oh, I see. So will she agree to do this with you?"

"She has already said yes. You will need to make the contract with her in mind. Because in future I will start working jointly with her."

"So that means you are changing your professions?" asked the art director.

"To spill the beans, I am a partner of a European company now with executive rights."

He seemed shocked.

"Not to worry I won't increase my value." I laughed at him.

"So you are climbing up the ladder to be a big shot is it?"

"Well, it's better to have a few options. In case I give up acting."

"You have a point there. George."

After we discussed they had agreed to have the contract with both me and Little Moon. I shared some of her award-winning work with them and they were surprised that this work was done by her. I told Little Moon about the signing of the contract. She gave me the right to go on the contract on behalf of her. One thing she asked me to do was to get Brother D's approval on all the documents.

I told Lee about the collaboration and approval of Little Moon. He was checking on the schedule and suggested days with the brand collaboration work. Lee might be the busiest person, he had a lot to manage, with the filming schedule and the other work regarding promotions and adverts. Maybe he should get an assistant as well.

"Lee"

"Yes George"

"I know you hardly have a break to spend time with your family. And you have a lot of work to handle alone."

"Hmm.. I can manage it. Don't worry."

"But think of your health Lee. Why don't we get an assistant for you?" I asked him in the hope he will say yes.

"I know I can manage everything Geo. It's not that tough." He laughed.

"But it's better to have someone trained as well. So you can become our official manager."

"You mean who's?"

""Me and my wife's"

"What?"

"Yes we both will be working together in the future while managing Star Dust. So I need a trusted person to manage us. That's why I want you to have an assistant from now and train him properly to help you with the work."

"Oh so you had planned for the next zillion years."

"Yeap, so these are just set rules for the future." I just laughed with him.
