Before I convey my ideas.

The room was absolutely glamorous than what Mark was imagining, he was completely stunned. It looked exactly like a parlor meant for relaxing. The floor was well tiled in blue tiles, three couches were present in the room, a glass table in the middle, a see-through type of fridge, and the best part of it....there were expensive wines and glass cups in the fridge.

It then dawn on Mark that Dylan could be richer than what he was thinking. He had recorded songs in various studios, but he had never seen something like this before, a recording studio that had a chill-out parlor in it. Even the studio in his label's headquarters didn't have a chill-out parlor in it. Yeah, the recording studio in the 'Cool Boiz' headquarters didn't have a chill-out parlor in it.

This was so cool, Mark loved it, it was unique and amazing. He headed over to one of the sofas in the parlor and sat on it, with a delighted look on his face, he said to Dylan,

"How did you come up with such an amazing idea, a recording studio that has a chill-out parlor in it, like it's unique and awesome".

"Hmmm, let's just say it's brain work, and also, a friend of mine that's also a music producer suggested this to me when I wanted to build my studio. I didn't give heed to it at first, but it later made sense to me, so I told the architecture to add it to the building plan. It's amazing right?". Dylan inquired of Mark as he sat on one of the sofas also.

"Yeah, it's really amazing, like I've never seen something like this before". Mark retorted with that amazed look still plastered to his face.

"Really!"

"Yeah, I've recorded songs in different studios, but this is my first time seeing a chill-out parlor in a studio. Even the studio in the headquarters of the label I'm signed doesn't have a relaxing parlor in it".

"Wow! looks like the idea of having a parlor in a studio is rare". Dylan stated.

"Yeah, it's rare, you must surely be loaded with the cash for you to construct something like this". Mark retorted as he continued looking around the parlor.

Dylan smiled 'cause of what Mark just said, "Yeah, let's say I'm loaded with the cash. This is one of the main reasons why I said I love using my studio to record artistes songs 'cause of how amazing it looks".

"Yeah, that's how it should be, this studio is just too amazing to neglect for another studio". Mark expressed, he really loved the style and manner Dylan's studio was built, the idea was just too amazing.

"Should I bring for you a bottle of wine from the fridge?". Dylan inquired of Mark.

"No need for that, it hasn't been too long since I finished two cups of whipped cream". Mark retorted rejecting Dylan's offer.

Both of them kept silent for a while as Mark kept on glancing at the glamour of the parlor. Then Dylan broke the silence saying,

"Now that we are in a more relaxed and silent place, can you now explain to me what transpired that almost caused a fight between you and John? do you know him before? I'm really curious about this that's why I am asking".

If it wasn't that Dylan was gonna be playing an important role in Mark's life from now on, he wouldn't even attempt to explain it to him. He does feel hurt and sad whenever he remembers what John and Henry did to him, explaining it to someone makes it worse. But Dylan uttered a word that makes it necessary for him to clarify this to him, 'I want to help you achieve your heart desires'.

Yeah, Dylan wants to assist him in achieving his heart desires, and his topmost desire is to attain fame as an artiste. And since Dylan wants to give a helping hand in attaining this, he would have to know some details about his life account. As of now, he wasn't in the mood to explain to anyone those hurtful past events that occurred in his life, but he had no other option but to clarify all that happened between them to Dylan.

He explained all the past and present events that took place between John, Henry, and him to Dylan. How he met with them in their secondary schooling years, how they became close friends 'cause of the one thing they loved in common, music. How they got signed to different record labels after some months of their graduation from college.

Their blowing up in the music industry and forgetting about him, the mocking and taunting words they said to him just to make him downhearted. What provoked the fight that almost occurred between him and John, the hate song he sang about them, and the way people reacted to it, he explained all to Dylan. The explanation sank into Dylan's heart so much that all he could say was,

"So you mean all these events took place between you and them?".

"Yeah". Mark retorted.

Dylan shook his head slightly, sighed a little then said, "The beginning of your explanation was interesting to listen to because of the nice experience you had with John and Henry while exploring what you guys had talent for. But the ending wasn't that pleasant 'cause of how they forgot and abandoned you after they attained fame as an artiste. Not only that, still mocking you on top of it...Wow! that's bad, they f**ked up big time".

"Yeah, they f**ked up big time, this is one of the main reasons why I wanna attain fame as an artiste, so I could prove them wrong".

"I am gonna assist you in achieving that, what they did to you isn't right at all, attaining fame is the best way to prove them wrong, and my support is guaranteed". Dylan declared with an affirmative kind of voice.

"How do you plan on doing this, what plans do you have under your sleeves?". Mark asked, he wanted to know how Dylan planned on helping him attain fame.

"I've got lots of incredible ideas in my head that if you put them into practice, you might just attain fame much quicker than you expect".

"Incredible ideas like what? tell me". Mark asked curiously.

"No I won't", Dylan uttered which caused Mark to open his mouth in awe, what does he mean by 'no he won't'. "I won't convey my ideas to you yet, I want to meet with Ben first".

"Why?" Mark inquired, he doesn't seem to understand what Dylan was saying anymore, what does he mean by he wants to meet with Ben first before he reveal his incredible ideas to him.

"Ben is very close to you, as you said, he is your favorite music producer. So I want the three of us to come together before I start unleashing out my ideas. My reason for this is 'cause I don't wanna start telling you stuff without his knowledge, it isn't right. He has been with you for long throughout your sad times, I've just known you recently and I wanna start conveying ideas to you that could make you famous without getting to know him first, it doesn't make sense. So I want to get acquainted with him first, then the three of us would come together for a meaningful discussion regarding you attaining fame and prestige as an artiste". Dylan deciphered.

Mark nodded his head in agreement, he really loved Dylan's sense of reasoning, "That's cool, that's the right thing to do, I love your sense of reasoning.

"Thanks". Dylan uttered with a grin on his face, "So your part is to tell Ben about me, tell him everything I told you about how I've been trailing you for a long time. Then we can set a time for the three of us to meet for a discussion".

"Sure, I'll do that, but I have to get on his good side first, remember I didn't keep to my promise to be present at the studio with him today".

"Yeah, you'll have to settle that with him before telling him about me".

Mark just nodded his head to indicate understanding.

"Are you gonna be dropping song anytime soon?". Dylan asked.

"Yeah, I've got lots of unreleased songs in the studio, but according to my label's schedule, there is an artiste that is signed to the same label as me that is to drop a song first before I drop mine". Mark explained.

"Ok, can we go downstairs to create some freestyle songs? I am craving to work with you in the studio". Dylan inquired already standing up from the sofa.

"Sure, why not".

"Let's go then". Dylan uttered as both of them departed from the chill-out room heading back to the studio downstairs.
