Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Troubled

A lot of time has passed since Viktor achieved a breakthrough in the power system for his research, 27 days to be precise.

Today, he is a little troubled concerning his band things, it has been 28 days since he posted the announcement, and he should post the results in two days.

The reason is simple, although he didn't expect to have many talents applying since the internet isn't developed right now and is just at the beginning and not as popular as later, but it's still much worse than he thought.

Among all the people who wanted to join the band, only two people satisfied him in terms of talent and skill, but even they gave him a headache.

In his original idea conception, he had already placed Lisandra as the vocalist, he would be the lead guitarist and then there should be naturally a bassist, a drummer, and if he touched the jackpot, someone who could make him change his mind to a dual vocalist for the band.

Unfortunately, he didn't encounter what he wished for, it seems he overestimated the current influence of the internet in the world.

About 53 people have sent an application for his band and, of course, a video of their performance.

Among so many people, only two have impressed him with their talents and skill; the rest are just some kind of amateurs, maybe testing their luck or trying for fun.

If it was only this, what gave Viktor more headache was the two people he deemed as having enough talent to join his band.

The two are guitarists, but Viktor himself plans to be the lead guitarist; unfortunately, the talent of these two people is very high, plus he didn't find the drummer of his dreams.

In a band, there are many discussions about who is the most important; after much discussion, there has been some kind of understanding of the four-man band.

A band with a vocalist, a lead guitarist, a bassist, and finally a drummer, this was also the configuration that Viktor had in his mind.

He was open to other positions in the band since he isn't only planning a rock band; it's just because that rock genre is so popular currently that he made the four-man band his template.

anyway, there are still two days before releasing the results, he will see what will happen by then, and maybe the joining of Lisandra in the band can help him attract some popularity.

That's right, she has agreed to join his band; today, she will go to the branch of Luminara Media in the United States, in Los Angeles, more precisely, to sign the contract.

Lisandra's POV

After tossing around in bed many times, finding that I couldn't continue to sleep, I finally could only reluctantly get up.

To be honest, if I was sleeping in such a luxurious hotel at a normal time, I would do my best to enjoy it, but right now, I'm very nervous.

During the past few days, I talked to my father and mother about what happened, my encounter, the offer I received, and many more.

As people who have experienced life and once received some beating from the society, they feel something wrong, especially Mike, Lisandra's father, as a police, he feel even more it must be a scam.

Finally, i managed to convince them to give it a try, we can know the truth when going to Luminara Media's branch in Los Angeles.

At the same time, my discussion with Viktor wasn't as much as before, he told me he is occupied with his project, i tought it might be because of the band.

Then knowing he is busy, I told him that I wanted to join his band and also I managed to convince my parents.

He replied to me that he was very happy with my decision, then he would inform me of the follow up.

After two days waiting, while even though we were discussing from time to time, he never mentioned me to go to Luminara Media, but recalling him saying he will announce the members of his band after thirty days, I choose to wait.

When I made up my mind to wait, that's when I receive a news about a project.

I was sitting at the small desk in my room, staring at the computer screen as my inbox loaded.

It had been a long day at school, my mind was all occupied by what if, what if he is telling the truth? What if he is telling lie?

That's when the email finally popped up, my heart skipped a beat. The subject line read: Official Offer and Accommodation Details – Luminara Media

I clicked it open, my hands trembling slightly.

I couldn't believe what i was reading and even screamed at that time. My father, who was watching the tv became alert hearing my scream and entered my room worried, that's when he noticed my stunned expression.

"What is it, Lisa?" he asked, concerned.

I turned to him, a little excited excited. "Dad, it's from Luminara Media. They've sent an official offer…and they're covering everything for us. Look, there's even a voucher for the hostel. My friend wasn't lying, I know it from the beginning haha."

I clicked on the attached file, revealing a professional-looking digital voucher with our names on it and the Westwood Hostel's details. The voucher bore the Luminara Media logo, alongside a barcode and check-in instructions.

My father leaned in closer, reading the email over my shoulder, as an policer for almost twenty years, he know this is definitely official and not a scam. "They're taking care of everything?" he asked, his voice softening with relief.

I nodded. "Yeah, everything, the hostel, food…they're even covering any other expenses during the trip."

After that, I have a very happy discussion with him before going and also informing my mother.
