Tranquility - Chapter 6

---- Chapter 6: Falling into the Trap A few days later, | found Shawn at the entrance of Beatrice's school. Shawn looked the same as before, with his messy shoulder-length hair falling over his head. He wore a deliberately worn-out leather jacket and leaned against his motorcycle, smoking a cigarette, creating an intentionally carefree and rugged image. Seeing me, Shawn furrowed his brows and asked, " You are... Beatrice's sister, right? What do you want from me?

"First of all, | know nothing about and did not interfere with your relationship with Beatrice, so don't create trouble for me." | smiled and replied, "Rest assured, I'm not here for anything personal, and besides, we don't have any personal matters to discuss. "I've come to you for business. Let me ask you, do you want to become famous, like a big internet celebrity?" Shawn seemed to hear a joke, "Lily, are you telling ---- me a joke?" | said seriously, "Our company is about to launch a talent search program. We need to find outstanding amateur artists to participate.

If you successfully stand out and sign with us, we will use the company's resources to boost your popularity." Upon hearing this, Shawn's eyes lit up. | was aware that he had previously encountered someone from a media company, but given his limited abilities, they likely didn't take him seriously.

However, if you pass up on this opportunity, you might not come across another one like it. Just to clarify, I'm doing this as a favor for someone | know, and you happen to be a suitable match. "The auditions will be on the 32nd floor of the Central Trade Building.

It will start in two days. Whether you come or not is entirely your decision." After saying that, | hung up the phone. | had to adopt a businesslike and impatient attitude to initially lower Shawn's suspicion of me. Two days later, Shawn indeed appeared on the 32nd floor of the Central Trade Building. He was cautious, and despite the seamless setup | had arranged at the audition venue, he still felt uneasy. When no one was paying attention, he pulled me into the stairwell. "You're just a freshman like Beatrice.
