From Divorce To Dominance

At half past five in the afternoon, the live broadcast of Sweet Love ended on time. Natalie had already written half of her tune. When she was inspired, her progress was fast and didn't lag. "Leon, would you like to review it first?" she asked with a smile. Leon replied humbly, "It's an honor to preview your work."

Feeling flattered, Natalie generously handed him the score. "Enjoy it, and try to keep your compliments modest later."

Leon smiled warmly, then began to hum the tune.

The first line caught this attention. Its

seemed simple at first but held something special.

He couldn't wait to continue humming. As he went on, his excitement grew, causing his heart to race.

Being a a music major, Leon could judge the escore's quality.

These few pieces of music were gentle and joyful, paired with a bright rhythm and hints of shyness, evoking images of a young girl in love or the thrill of youthful first love. Though unfinished, the first half was already excellent. aesthetic.

Composition could truly test a person's musical

There was no doubt that Natalie's aesthetic was as beautiful and unique as she was.

After finishing his humming, Leon tightened his grip on the manuscript and looked at Natalie with appreciation, "Natalie, when can you finish this piece?" "So, how is it?" Natalie asked knowingly after seeing his expression.

"I can't wait to her

t wait to hear the whole thing." Leon praised. "As a professional musician, I think this tune will be exceptional, possibly the best in the last decade." Natalie smirked, pretending to glare at him. "Didn't we agree to keep it humble?"

Leon enjoyed their easygoing rapport. It was relaxing and easy.

He continued, "I speak from the heart. Finish the song quickly. I'm looking forward to it."

Natalie stretched and squinted, resembling a proud kitten.

"Tomorrow," she said, pointing to the clock. "It's after work, and the workers refuse to do overtime. I'm ready to go home. Aren't you leaving?" "Let's go." Leon tucked away the score, draped his suit over his arm, and walked beside her.

Outside the Sweet Love Base, Natalie's luxury car

awaited.

Two maids stood respectfully by the car door, nodding and greeting her, "Ms. Xavier." Natalie tilted her head and waved to Leon.

Her features glowed in the sunset's golden light, giving her a warm, charming, yet proud look.

As she departed, Leon pressed his hand to his heart, which raced at the sight of her.

Knew she had just come out of a relationship, so he should take it slow and start as friends, which was working well for them.

After a moment, Leon turned to leave when a Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of him.

He frowned as the door opened, and his agent, Wyatt, stepped out.

"Leon," Wyatt greeted, adjusting his suit and motioning for him to enter. "The boss wants to see you to discuss your future development."

Leon responded faintly. He had been playing Tik Tok to engage with Natalie and didn'

scout and signed to the company.

He had done it partly for her.

He knew she wasn't an ordinary person. He had to become better to be worthy of her, as his salary at the National Concert Hall wasn't enough to support her.

Wyatt continued while Leon closed his eyes to rest. "This time, it's boss. He must see your potential and will provide resources to promote you. Leon, you're going to be a star." Half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce parked in front of the Luther Group's building. Wyatt led Leon into the lobby and nodded at a suited man.

He said.

said, "Mr. Duarte, why did you come down to pick him up?"

"Mr. Luther insisted," Tony replied, glancing at Leon. "Come with me."

Leon nodded respectfully.

Wyatt, being quite the smooth talker, grinned and said, "Take care of Leon for me. I'll head back."

Tony waved him off and entered the elevator, Leon following.

The elevator went straight to the top floor. Tony led Leon to the president's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The voice was calm yet commanding.

Tony opened the door and said to Leon, "Mr. Luther is waiting for you. Please go

in."

Leon stepped inside. Behind the desk sat a young, handsome man with sharp features and an arrogant gaze.

Leon recognized him as Darren, the president of the Luther Group, the heir of the Luther family, and Vivian's fiancé. "Mr. Luther," He asked directly, "What can I do for you?"

Since the moment he walked in, Darren had been sizing him up. Leon's appearance was decent, but he was shorter and less imposing than Darren and could be considered a second-degree c**e. Was this all there was to him? Natalie must have poor taste. Hearing Leon's question, Darren suppressed a smirk and lightly licked his teeth. Leaning back on his chair, he asked, "What's your relationship with Natalie? How did you know each other?"

Leon frowned, not answering directly, "Mr. Luther, that's my private matter. It's not relevant to work. So, I don't think I need to explain it to you."

"Your private matter?" Darren scoffed. "As an entertainer, you're a public figure. That means giving up some privacy to gain attention and make money.

You

I can't expect both without sharing something."

Darren raised an eyebrow, sensing Leon's reluctance to explain, and his irritation grew.

As if he had something with Natalie. Darren's voice turned cold, If the company is to promote you, we need to know you to avoid potential pitfalls. Your connection with Natalie is a concern for the entire network, and as part of the company, you need to share. "If you refuse to say it, you can leave right now." Leon hesitated before responding, "Five months ago, I was her one-day boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Darren's eyes narrowed dangerously. If he remembered correctly, that was right after they got divorced. That woman found herself a one-day boyfriend so soon after their breakup?

Leon clarified, "Not a boyfriend, just a one-day boyfriend."

"What's the difference?" Darren asked, trying to press his anger.

He had thought her declaration of not loving him was an escape, but now it seemed she had quickly found another man behind his back in such a short time. How dare she?

Leon didn't notice Darren's emotional outburst and continued, "It's literal. My student saw an ad for a one-day boyfriend offering 30 thousand dollars a day and mischievously signed me up. That's how I met Nat." Darren noted the affectionate nickname, but the point issue was Natalie recruiting boyfriends for a day at such a price.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

His blood pressure rose as he coldly asked, "Does she have many one-day boyfriends?"
