Chapter 18: You Sound Like a Liar
"Didn't I just tell you? I appreciate your talent!"
Gwenda put down her glass and looked at Cecilia earnestly.
Cecilia looked back with puzzlement and frowned. "Appreciate? I don't even have a fan right now, and
there are more talented people than me out there. You just heard a few songs from me, and you
appreciate my talent?"
"No, to me, there's no one else more talented than you. I know that many of your songs were
composed by yourself, and your talents do not stop there."
Hearing such acknowledgement from Gwenda, Cecilia was stunned. She asked in confusion, "But I
achieved nothing all these years while at KG Entertainment. Yet you still want me on your team?"
Gwenda shook her head. "I don't care whether or not you've had any achievements in the past, I care
about your future. As long as you sign with me, I promise that you'll be a rising star!"
Her words were filled with promise.
Cecilia, however, was not as optimistic as her. She smiled awkwardly and said bluntly, "Miss Evans,
why do you sound like a liar when you say this?"
Gwenda choked.
Everything she said was out of candour. How did she end up becoming a liar?
Clearing her throat, Gwenda grew solemn. "Cecilia, I sincerely do wish to give you a better future.
You're aware of KG Entertainment's current situation — it's been five years, and they gave you nothing.
If you keep going on like this, you'll only be holding yourself back. Rather than never making it out, why
don't you take that risk with me? Please believe me! I truly do wish to cooperate with you!"
Anyone who heard such sincere words would surely be tempted.
Cecilia was no exception.
She had indeed been overlooked for many years, her talents left buried in the dust.
Such a chance was an alluring temptation for her.
Seeing her hesitation, Gwenda knew that she had succeeded. Smiling faintly, she said, "You don't have
to give me an immediate answer. There's still some time before your contract is terminated, so you can
think about it."
"Can you really help me?"
Cecilia was completely swayed by Gwenda's words.
She nodded and said, "Yes, and I promise that you'll definitely go viral! The big kind of viral!"
"What are the terms of signing the contract?"
Cecilia made her decision.
Gwenda thought for a moment and said, "Just one. After signing, all of your works can only be
published by my studio."
This condition was not harsh to Cecilia.
It was completely within her range of acceptance.
"That's all?"
"That's all."
After a moment's thought, Gwenda added, "If you make money, we'll split it 50-50. Leave the publicity
and commercial affairs to me. You just need to focus on composing."
"Okay."
Cecilia gazed at her with awe.
Although this girl looked young, she gave people a sense of inexplicable trust. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
If she was a liar, well, Cecilia had nothing else left to lose. She would rather take that risk than waste
time with KG Entertainment.
In this moment, her path forward became clear.
Gwenda asked again, "Do you have further questions?"
Cecilia smiled softly, shaking her head, her eyes filled with determination. "No."
"Well, that's settled then. When your contract with KG Entertainment expires, remember to come to
me."
Gwenda proceeded to trade contact information with her.
The meal ended on a happy note.
After that, Cecilia originally wanted to go back to the bridge to sing but was stopped by Gwenda.
"What you need to do now is to rest well and compose in peace. Forget about KG Entertainment as
your contract with them is about to expire."
