Chapter 338 - Painting Auction Invitation

"Look, we have planned a drama with fantastic value to win the Noble trophy for the umpteenth time with the theme of pursuing love. In addition, we also participated in the Noble Records trophy for singers who were chosen by the community by uploading them on YouTube. Songs that can be trending and last up to a month then he is the winner. It's just that, there is no singer who fits Noble's standards. Noble wants a clear but innocent voice. What should we do when we are pressed so we can register the drama of the king of the sky?".

Sandy was silent to hear what was explained by the general manager. 

"Wait a minute, why don't I know anything about this matter? Why are you hiding it from me?". Asked Sandy sarcastically. 

"Forgive us boss, we just don't want to burden those of you who are busy with your family matters. However, we must discuss this with the president before taking action!". Obviously the program director with a guilty expression.

Sandy was silent to hear the explanation, he understood why they did that. 

Meanwhile Maxwell is still silent because he wants to see what steps Sandy will take in addressing this problem, even though in his smart brain he has prepared a plan to solve this problem. 

"Can I express my opinion?". Sandy asked after a long pause. 

"Of course, the boss's opinion we are waiting for". Said the general manager. 

They all nodded at once because they also wanted to hear input and bright ideas from their boss.

"Say what you want to say, we will hear you!". Maxwell also immediately invited Sandy to speak.

"How about we open auditions again to find talented singers for the drama soundtrack. Because some of the mainstay singers do not have a voice color that matches the drama". Sandy said.

Everyone fell silent while watching Sandy.

"What do you think about the idea of ​​your CEO?". Asked Maxwell on behalf of Sandy.

"Agree". Some people raise their hands in agreement, but not some.

"I don't agree with that, we don't have much time to do auditions. We'll check one by one from the singers we have". The program director said.

"What is the opinion of the boss?". Asked the marketing manager of Maxwell, who had been watching their debate. 

"I'll give up to 3 days from now for you to find the right singer. However, if you can't find him then we'll use an existing singer". Replied Maxwell with a smile.

"Three days? Is that possible!" Asked the planning director, confused because what he knew was that auditioning would take a long time. 

"If you have any doubts, then you have to get the singer to fit in with Kevin and the drama itself". said Maxwell.

They all fell silent to hear Maxwell's decision which seemed inviolable anymore.

"Yes boss, we will do our best to take care of this matter!". All of them replied.

"Then I will end the meeting here and you can return to your respective duties!". After saying that, Maxwell rose from his seat, loosened his tie and left the meeting room with his assistant followed.

"Just a few hours, I feel suffocated here. Why wear a tie, should I change my office rules?". Maxwell thought as he walked past some of his employees who were fascinated by him.

One week later.

JJ Group head office.

Julian stopped his job when he saw Andi was standing in front of him.

"Is there an event tonight?". Julian asked while watching Andi because he hoped there would be no program so he could invite Zio to meet Qiara who had returned to her boarding house after finishing the drama.

"Tonight you must attend the painting auction organized by Miss Rena's art gallery. This event is sponsored by the largest Noble arts center in the city." Andi replied.

Julian's face was a little disappointed because his plan to invite Zio out to meet Qiara did not materialize.

He also could not possibly refuse Rena's invitation and disappointed the chief director of Noble who was his best partner.

"This event was also held by Noble to announce the return of the Noble arts center. So, I have received an invitation from Miss Rena and Noble herself. You will also come with Miss Viona".

"Why do I have to come with Viona?". Julian asked with a cynical look.

"Ms. Viona is also the sponsor of this event, besides that she also wants to introduce you to the famous painter from the United States, Nicko, whose best works are being auctioned to help build a foundation that accommodates children who are unable to continue their education". Andi explained. 

Julian was silent to hear Andi's explanation, this time he couldn't refuse to come with Viona, who had devoted part of her time to Zio from childhood to big.

"Well I'll come with her, so you just arrange. Now, I'll continue my work, you can get out!". Julian said after taking a deep breath. 

"Yes boss!". After saying that, Andi immediately walked out of Julian's room quickly. 

Suddenly Julian remembered Zio's conversation with Qiara that night, even though it was only blocked by a video call, Julian could feel the beauty of being able to sleep three of them.

"That night I fell asleep so sleepy that I didn't have time to talk to Qiara, I don't know what feelings I felt. However, I really missed her. But, how can we make the three of us get together again?". Julian thought as he looked at Qiara's photo, which has been his cellphone wallpaper for the past five years.

After thinking, Julian immediately looked at his laptop screen to continue his work. 

Qiara's boarding house.

Around 7pm, Qiara, who had just finished taking a shower and was doing all her business, was shocked when she saw a luxury car parked in front of her boarding house. She also opened the window so she could see more clearly who owned the car. However, she could not see it.

"Whose car is that? Don't tell me it's Julian?". Inner Qiara while frowning. 

Not long after, there was a knock on the door several times.

Instantly Qiara was shocked again.

"Oh my god... Is that the car owner?".

Very curious, Qiara immediately went to the door.. Qiara frowned when she saw who was standing in front of her after she opened the door.
