The meeting ended with Darren and his team getting ashamed and embarrassed. They also had to send in their apology letter.
The only person that they were scared to find out about their meddling had known it. And the funny thing is that they dug the hole themselves.
Darren was being stared at by his fellow allies. They were thinking that it was all because of Darren who could not wait that they had to suffer with their salaries being cut. They also whispered in an audible tone to Darren about how Darren should take responsibility and how he had involved all of them.
Darren stared at the floor, not being able to raise his face. Usually, he would have yelled and scared others. But this time, he really f**ked up!
His mentality was shaken and they were cursing Irina and Cecilia in their minds. He clenched his mouth so much that blood began to flow.
(I am not sure what you did, but I will definitely take my revenge! )
Darren thought as he went back to his office to write the apology letter. As a narrow-minded person, he pushed the blame onto Irina and Cecilia even though it should be the other way around. He was the one to mess with Irina and Cecilia without any reason.
"Those old-fashioned people! I didn't know they were doing such things behind our backs!"
The CEO said, putting his head on his forehead. In the meeting room, only Zayden and he were there. The CEO asked Zayden to stay as he had something that he wanted to ask.
He had a headache because of the employees who couldn't see the bigger picture. Even though they were a pretty big entertainment company, they were slowly declining. He needed changes, however, his employees were destroying even the good things that the company was producing.
"Mr. Lee, anything I could help with."
Zayden asked.
"Do you know who wrote those songs for those Idol Trainees?"
Mr. Lee asked straight away. He had seen some clips from Irina and Cecilia's debut and although they both were great, the most important thing about their debut was their songs. He personally liked those songs and knew it had potential.
"Those songs… I don't think they were written by our companies' songwriters."
Zayden said. He knew the situation with Irina and Cecilia. He wanted to help them, however, by the time he wanted to, they had already gotten their songs from somewhere.
"Not by our company? Didn't our company have songwriters? If those songs were not written by them, who was it?"
Mr. Lee asked.
"To tell the truth. We had assigned the songwriter to them, however, he said that he couldn't write as he had other assignments. And you know how those artists have big egos."
Zayden said extremely embarrassed about the situation. He could have forced or would have punished Kaito, however, Kaito was backed by Darren and his group. He could not arrange another songwriter either as they all refused.
He couldn't really force others, especially songwriters who have good prestige. They also had the freedom to choose with whom they wanted to work.
"Who is that songwriter?"
Mr. Lee asked angrily.
He doesn't really manage the company as it is the work of the president and Vice-president that he appointed. However, he does interfere when the stock of the company decreases or when it concerns the future of the company.
For the company to reach such a stage, he was extremely angry. He knew that he had to discuss the future of Dreamwave Entertainment once the President came back from his business trip.
"Kaito!"
Zayden answered.
"Fire him!"
Mr. Lee said immediately. If it was some songwriter who had contributed greatly to the company, he thought that he could just punish him. However, he does not need anybody like Kaito.
Zayden nodded his head. With the order from the CEO, even the Vice-President wouldn't be able to save Kaito, not to mention Darren. Zayden was satisfied as he remembered how Kaito acted arrogantly thinking he could get away after failing to do his job properly.
Retribution! He thought that it was retribution for his deeds.
"And find the songwriter who wrote those songs. If he is an indie artist, we need to sign him up as soon as possible. Give him incentives for joining our company if he is from another company. No matter what, try to get him!"
Mr. Lee said. This was his actual reason for calling the meeting. He wanted to actually congratulate and want to know the songwriter. However, it seemed that many things were going on behind the scenes, and the songwriter who wrote 'STAY' was not even from his company.
He was disappointed, but he didn't give up. He really appreciated the songwriter of those songs and wanted him to join his company under any circumstances.
He really liked 'STAY' and thought that it might actually help Dreamwave Entertainment reach another level and even reach the international stage. However, the truth was very different from what he expected.
"I will ask the Idols Irina and Cecilia about it. They must know who wrote their songs!"
Zayden replied.
"Good! Contact me as soon as you identify him. Dreamwave Entertainment needs such talented people."
Mr. Lee said.
******
There was a dark expression on the face of Darren. He knew that when the Vice-President came to know about this incident, he would be severely punished.
Previously, he used to be one of the most influential people on their side. However, he has lost it all. He was extremely furious and could only curse at Irina and Cecilia.
However, there was someone who was angrier than him.
-SHATTER!
The sound of a flower vase breaking spread through the room. Luckily for the idol, there was no person other than her manager.
"Calm down, Luna!"
Luna's manager said as she tried to hold Luna down.
"Dammit! Those old fogeys! I asked to not let those Idol Trainees be successful with their debut and they agreed. And what was the result? Dammit!"
"They are more useless than a dog. What did they say? We will take care of it. F**K! What take care! Dammit!" ….
Luna yelled for another half an hour.
She was really upset about Irina and Cecilia debuting successfully. As for how she knew that it was successful, one just needs to look at the reviews. Not to mention, all the news featuring Irina and Cecilia was praising them.
Luna, who had tried to prevent that, was obviously angry. She cursed and cursed at the two of them.
She tried to take out her possible rivals when they were in their early stages. She knew that Irina and Cecilia would become dangerous to her position as the Top artist in Dreamwave Entertainment.
They had good looks and good voices which Luna lacked. However, she had influence, connection, and power that they didn't. That's why using those, she tried to crush them.
Nevertheless, they succeeded in making their debut even after all those things.
Only after she was a little exhausted, did she calm down.
"So, who was the one who betrayed me?"
She asked her manager.
"Yes?"
Luna's manager was caught off guard by the question. And she also didn't understand what Luna meant by betrayers.
"WHO IS THE BASTARD THAT WROTE THOSE SONGS FOR THE TWO OF THEM? I will make sure that he rots in this company without being able to write a single song from now on."
Luna said angrily. She had clearly threatened all the songwriters and even had their original songwriter, Kaito, betray them. However, in the end, they got songs, and it was even a masterpiece.
"Just calm down! I heard that the songwriter was not from our company. They must have found someone from outside to help them."
Luna's manager explained.
"Those SL*TS! I thought they didn't have any connections! Dammit! I underestimated them!"
Luna cursed again.
"Call all the critics and journalists that we know. I want them to publish negative reviews about those two immediately."
Luna said. Luna's manager looked reluctant, however, sighed and began calling them one by one.
Only then did she calm down.
"Humph! I will show you what Idol World is really about!"
