It wasn't just the teenagers and idol fans glued to RRR — even Daddy's Salon had the show playing on its massive screens.
Celebrities, actors, and other high-profile clients were fixated on the broadcast, scouting for future stars or simply enjoying the fierce competition.
Most idols, though, were only interested in scoping out their future competition.
Jackson was in the middle of styling one of his regulars, Gerald, a mid-tier actor who liked to act like he was an A-lister. Despite his usual arrogance, even Gerald's eyes were glued to the screen, watching intently as C.C., competed.
"Hey, isn't that guy one of your employees?" Gerald asked, pointing at the screen.
Jackson's frown deepened as he grunted in response. "Yeah."
He couldn't deny the bitter taste in his mouth every time someone mentioned C.C. — the rising star who worked at the same salon.
