"Nothing ever goes smoothly with our plans," Lei said, massaging the bridge of his nose. "Don't you agree?"
Dan pursed his lips. "I'm sorry, sir," he said. "If it makes you feel better, the apology video is well-received."
"Do you think that can make up for the damage that he had done to his reputation? He was supposed to be June's replacement!"
Dan sighed. "I know, sir. I talked to him already, and it seems like he's really repenting."
"What could repenting even do in this situation, huh? Will it take back what he had done?"
Dan pursed his lips and didn't say anything further.
Lei massaged his temples and let out a deep sigh.
"Anyway, is he learning the songs well?"
"Yes," Dan proudly said. "I think he will blend right into EVE. Are you still going to put him in the group, sir?"
"Yes," Lei said. "EVE is bound to be an eight-member group, through and through."
"Is he going to be the center?" Dan asked.
