Lilac stares at the card this strange man is holding. She knows he's a celebrity, however, the longer she talks to him, he begins to seem more like a con artist.
Lilac smiles politely. "No thank you sir." She says as she tries to refuse.
Adler sees the fake smile on her face. He knows that he has to say something to convince her.
"Miss, I mean no harm. I recently became the manager for W.R. Music Entertainment." Adlers says.
Lilac looks at him strangely. Music Entertainment? "Sir, why do you think that I should be in the music industry? I haven't shown you any misical talents?"
Adler smiles at her awkwardly. He didn't think of that. "Just come for an audition. You know where the W.R. Music Entertainment building is, right?"
"Of course I do."
"Great!" Adler says, smiling brightly. Lilac looks at his handsome face and finds herself slowly taking the card. His charm oozes out and Lilac can't help staring at his face a littl longer.
Adler coughs awkwardly and Lilac suddenly snaps back into reality. She takes the card, still suspicious.
"What is your name?" Adler asks as the girl is about to leave. His heart pounds. Could this really be her?
Lilac pauses. This man is extra sketchy, She thinks to herself.
"My name?" Lilac thinks. She looks around the shop. "My name is... loll- Lola Poppins." She stutters. "Yup. My name is Lola." She says as she smiles at the man. "I'll come soon for an audition!" She says as she leaves the store hurriedly.
However, Lilac was unable to see the man's disappointed face. He covers his face with his hand and sighs.
He scoffs at himself. "Hah. And I thought it could actually be her."

Lilac puts on her hood again as she gets into her car. She throws the card into the passanger seat of the car. As she starts driving to Weston's house, she thinks about the events that just happened. "Wow. I either got casted on the street or I was scammed." She thinks to herself. However, a part of her feels excited. She always wanted to try being a musician. Lilac finally decides to try to audition. "Even if he was fake, I can still go and audition at the agency anyways." She thinks.
She finally arrives at Weston's house. She parks her car in the driveway. She walks to the door and before she even rings the doorbell, the door opens. Two bright eyed children stare up at Lilac with huge smiles. "Lilac!" They cry out. Lilac smiles and hugs them.
"Luna, Helios!" She says. She gives them the candy. "I brought you guys lollipops. Don't eat too much!" She says as she hands them a plastic bag. The children excitedly look in the bag.
Lilac walks into the living room. "Hello Grandpa!" She says as she greets Weston's grandfather.
"Hello dear." His grandfather says. "Did you come to visit again?" He asks.
Lilac smiles as she takes something out of her bag. "Grandpa, I saw this jade bracelet and I knew that it would be perfect for you!" She says. Weston's grandfather accepts the present gratefully. "Dear, you need to stop spoiling us! How much did this cost?" He says jokingly. Lilac laughs. "Don't worry grandfather. I have a lot more money than it seems." She says.
Weston sits on his desk in his room, drawing something. Suddenly, someone knocks on his room. "Come in." He says. Lilac slowly opens the door.
"Hey Weston. I got you the thing you wanted." Lilac says as she tosses the chocolate bar towards Weston. He catches it.
"Thanks Lilac." He says. Lilac walks in and peers over his shoulder. "What are you drawing?" Lilac asks. Weston quickly covers his work.
"Don't look! It's embarrassing." He says as he blushes. Lilac sees his pink, chubby face and smiles mischievously. She tries to grab the paper out of Weston's hand, Weston quickly holds it out of reach.
"Come on! I want to see!" She says as she giggles.
"No!"
Lilac tries to jump for the paper. Weston quickly pushes her away, however, he pushes her a little too hard and Lilac starts to fall backwards. Lilac feels herself gravitate towards the ground.
Weston quickly drops the papers and reaches out.
Lilac, expecting to fall on the ground, braces herself and shuts her eyes.
However, she falls right into Weston's arms.
Lilac slowly opens her eyes and sees Weston's dark brown eyes staring right into her's.
"Stupid." Weston says. "If you're going to fall, at least try to catch yourself."
