As Elisa and Mark walked into the Whitemoon building, they were headed straight for the elevators to go up to Williams' office. But before they could even reach the elevators, they ran into Alex walking out of the lobby.Elisa's eyes narrowed as she saw Alex, and she couldn't resist bringing up his humiliation from the previous day. "Well, well, well. Look who's here. The laughing stock of the town."Alex stood silently, his eyes fixed on Elisa, but he didn't say a word.Elisa continued, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I heard all about your little incident at lunch yesterday. How my mother and her friends tore you apart. Oh, Alex, you must have been so embarrassed."Mark stood beside Elisa, his eyes fixed on Alex, but he didn't say anything either.Elisa kept going, her words cutting deep. "I mean, seriously, Alex. You tried to pretend like you were important, like you were someone to be reckoned with. But really, you're just a joke. A joke that everyone sees right through."Alex's
William's face reddened with anger as he listened to Mark and Elisa's harsh words towards Alex. "I can't punish Alex," William said firmly, his voice leaving no room for argument. "As much as I understand your frustration, Mark and Elisa, I just can't take disciplinary action against him. He's a key player on our team, and his contributions are invaluable. I won't risk losing him over a personal conflict."Williams couldn't believe the way they were speaking to Alex, and he wanted to shut them up. But just as he was about to speak again, Alex gave him a subtle sign to stay quiet.Alex's eyes flicked towards William, and he raised an eyebrow slightly. It was a small gesture, but William understood it perfectly. He bit back his words and stayed silent, his anger simmering just below the surface."I can't sanction Alex," William said finally, his voice tight with restraint. "He's a valued member of our team, and I won't punish him for something that's not his fault."Mark and Elisa exchan
After Elisa and Mark leave, Williams invite Alex to his office so they could talk.William leaned back in his chair, his mind wondering as he regarded Alex. "You know, Alex, I've been thinking about something," he said, his voice casual.Alex raised an eyebrow, his expression curious. "What's that?"William leaned forward, his elbows on the desk. "Why haven't you spoken up about your ownership of the company? You're the majority shareholder, Alex. You have the power to make or break us. So why the silence?"Alex laughed, a low, husky sound. "Oh, William. You know me too well."William's eyes narrowed. "I thought I did. But this...this is something else. You're not exactly known for your predictably, Alex. So I have no idea why you're doing thus"Alex shrugged, his smile still playing on his lips. "I know. But this is different. I want it to be like this."William's expression turned skeptical. "Why? You're not exactly the type to shy away from the spotlight."Alex leaned back in his ch
Alex leaned forward in his chair, his eyes locked intensely on William's. "Now that Elisa is taken care of, my main priority is to make sure Dianna gets into our company," he said, his voice filled with determination and passion.William raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Alex's sudden focus on Dianna. "And what makes you think she's got what it takes?" he asked, his tone curious.Alex's face lit up with enthusiasm. "We've both seen her perform, William. She's got a spark that's hard to find. A talent that's raw and unbridled. And she's got the passion, the drive, to make it big in the music world. I want to see her at the top, William. I want to help her get there."William nodded thoughtfully, impressed by Alex's conviction. "I trust your judgment, Alex. Let's bring her." Alex knew that Dianna had what it took to make it big, and he was determined to help her every step of the way.William sat at his desk, a smile on his face as he drafted the proposal to Dianna. He had been impressed
The next week, Dianna and Elisa walked into the Whitemoon Records building, their hearts full of excitement and anticipation. They were finally going to start their journey as recording artists, and they couldn't wait to see what the future held.As they entered the building, they were greeted by William, who was beaming with pride. "Welcome, ladies!" he exclaimed. "I'm so glad you're here. We're going to do great things together."William led them to a small conference room, where the rest of the Whitemoon Records team was waiting. "We're going to have a small introductory party to welcome you both to the team," he explained.Dianna's eyes widened in surprise. "A party? That's so sweet of you!"Elisa grinned, looking pleased. "Yeah, let's get this party started!"The party was a small, intimate affair, with only the Whitemoon Records team in attendance. But it was perfect. Dianna and Elisa were introduced to everyone, and they were made to feel like part of the family.As they mingled
Elisa stormed into her apartment, slamming the door behind her. She was still fuming from the party, her anger and frustration boiling over. Her boyfriend, Mark, was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He looked up as she entered, concern etched on his face."Hey, what's wrong?" he asked, getting up from the couch.Elisa flopped down on the couch, running her hands through her hair. "It's just... ugh," she said. "That party was a disaster."Mark sat down next to her, putting a hand on her knee. "What happened?" he asked.Elisa launched into a tirade, telling Mark all about the party and how Alex had shown up and how Dianna had stood up for him. She told him about how humiliated she had felt, how angry she still was.Mark listened attentively, his face growing more and more concerned. When Elisa finally ran out of steam, he spoke up."Elisa, you need to let this go," he said. "Whatever beef you have with Alex, it's not worth it. You're an amazing singer, and you have so much talent. Don'
Dianna was hesitant when Williams announced the competition. She didn't want to compete against Elisa, didn't want to create any tension or conflict. She respected Elisa, despite their differences, and didn't want to make an enemy of her.Alex walked into the office, whistling a tune. He was in a good mood, But as he approached Dianna's desk, he noticed that something was off. She looked upset, her brow furrowed in concern. "Hey, Dianna, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice low and concerned.Dianna shook her head. "I don't know, Alex. I just don't want to compete against Elisa. I don't want to make things awkward between us."Alex nodded understandingly. "I get it," he said. "But Dianna, this is a huge opportunity. You can't pass it up just because you're afraid of hurting Elisa's feelings."Dianna sighed. "I know," she said. "But I just don't want to create any drama."Alex put a hand on her arm. "Dianna, you're an amazing singer," he said. "You have a gift. And this competition coul
Dianna sat in the recording studio, her guitar in hand, as she practiced her song for the upcoming competition. Alex sat beside her, listening intently as she sang.As she finished, Dianna turned to Alex, seeking his opinion. "What do you think?" she asked, her eyes eager for feedback. "Am I good enough to win?"Alex smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Dianna, you're more than good enough," he said. "You're amazing. Your voice is incredible, and your song is catchy and memorable. I'm sure you'll win the competition hands down."Dianna's face lit up with a smile, her confidence boosted by Alex's words. "Really?" she asked, her voice filled with hope.Alex nodded. "Really," he said. "I'm not just saying that because I'm your friend, either. I'm saying it because it's true. You have a gift, Dianna. Don't waste it."Dianna felt a surge of gratitude towards Alex. He had always been her biggest supporter, and his encouragement meant the world to her."Thanks, Alex," she said, her voi
