Dark Princess

Visitation

A woman in semi-formal clothes greeted us kindly. He's not Chanel Travis. Looking at her appearance, she was an Indonesian, a middle-aged woman who looked attractive and straightforward. Maybe the person who helped manage the management of the selebgram hits it. I was a little disappointed with the reception. Chanel should be with him.

"Welcome to Jakarta. When did you get here?" He was stale while guiding our way to the elevator. His English is pretty fluent.

"thank you. Just new. About two hours ago we arrived at the airport..." He laughed and nodded his head.

"That is one of the hallmarks of the city of Jakarta. From the airport to the city center can take as long as it gets stuck. But that's the unique thing. If it is not jammed, it is not Jakarta. Have you had breakfast?" I nodded my head as a sign that I understood what he meant. Perhaps part of that explanation is a form of sympathy for the suffering we endured sitting in cars cruising the sea of cars on the highway for two hours. Just to cover such a close distance. Something very rare to happen anywhere else.

"After that, on the plane. Thank you." Thank you."

"Then let's have lunch together. I will guide you both to enjoy authentic Indonesian food. Just mention it, want to rendang padang? Fried rice? The sata? Or?" I must admit. He's very crowded. I was confused as to whether it was natural to discuss what food we liked when in such a serious situation. I don't know. It might be natural. But I'm in a serious state and not in the mood to make small talk.

"Oh. Thank ye. If possible, we will proceed to the next agenda before noon. We should be back in Singapore tonight. But thanks for the warm offer..." I tried to answer as decently as possible. With a smile he nodded.

"Ah, what a pity. Then, try to eat lunch first on the sidelines of your busy life. Enjoy Indonesia..." Said again.

"Sure! Thank you." - Thank you." We stopped on one of the floors, got out of the elevator and entered a spacious office room with several sets of desks and chairs. Looks like the room was rented specifically for their agency. But there's nobody. I tried to cast an investigative gaze, if there were any sightings of others there who might be silent. My eyes captured a portrait of Chanel Travis in a very large size covering almost one side of the wall in the room. That'sallthatis. I have to conclude, meaning they only have Chanel Travis as a talent they are managing. Because of the other photos, there was only him.

"Please sit down." He placed two bottles of mineral water on the table.

"Are we not supposed to meet your talent? But there's no one here..." I said to the point.

"Oh. Right. Chanel should be here now welcoming people from Earnest Fashion. But last minute, he decided he would only meet if the contract was already a deal. All discussions before the contract is agreed are left to management. We apologize. It was an absolute requirement in the procedure of working together with Chanel. Do you mind?" I quickly digested that statement. Pretty new to me. All this time, all the celebrities we worked with, will be very excited and would want to meet in person, of course accompanied by people from their management. I nodded my head in understanding. To be sure, he had no idea that the person he was dealing with was the one with the Earnest Corps. We only introduced ourselves as employees of the PR division.

"Oh No. We really appreciate the rules set by the management office where the talent we want to work with takes shelter. No problem at all. Don't worry..."

"Oh. Thank you mr. Lee. We're meeting for the first time, but the employees of Earnest Corps are really professionals. I was worried that this would cause trouble..."

"We just need to be willing to convey some absolute conditions to be able to work with us. Everything is clearly stated in this document. Please learn. If there is anything that needs to be discussed, we are happy to take the space and time to negotiate. We are happy to meet with the management professionals. So you should know that we will also meet with two other candidates today. But don't worry, everything will be considered as objective as possible." Frankly I'm upset. How big is the prestige of this one so we can not meet in person before the contract signature? He made the wrong decision. He doesn't know who he's dealing with.

"We will remember this advice well. But it is necessary to know. We are not looking for people who are only able to introduce our brand to the public. But one who can drive the masses to buy and wear Earnest fashion brand products with pride." I said with the toilet.

"good. Sure oes. We're talking business. We understand the main purpose of this partnership. We'll work hard to make it happen if given the chance..."

"thank you. We beg you to pay."

We left the building quickly. I have not been able to master the annoyance of that incident.

"Drey, is it normal for that talent not to meet us? Does he not know how big the Earnest Corps is?" I snorted in annoyance.

"I also just found out boss. This is the first time it happened. After all, they are even competing to work with us."

"We have no other choice. Where did you find your home address? We're going there now."

"Good boss. It's." Already."

"Make the next agenda to the PR team. Take notes. Everything related to this must be through my consent. No matter how famous he is here, I will decide."

"Ready boss."

We spent another hour in the car just to reach a luxury apartment complex not far from the office. Shouldn't matter. It was not my first time to Jakarta. While still active with The Knights, we have visited Indonesia for concerts or tampul at other music events several times. All memories are beautiful. Indeed stuck. But the atmosphere of that time was not as regretful as I am currently experiencing. Still about Chanel Travis. If we were to meet him in person, I could at least confirm with my own eyes that his face is a copy of Jade. Now then? We have to run silently. Doing something quite complicated that should not have been necessary had we met.

The information about Chanel Travis is very neat and complete. Both of his parents still live in France, their names have absolutely nothing to do with Lucian Warren. He moved to Indonesia because he met a man online, who later became his lover, who was living in Indonesia. He moved here because he wanted to live close to the man. The prospects of their relationship are bright. When he turned 30, after reaching the peak of his desired career, he would just get married and build a family with children. That information we got after Drey conducted research on it on the internet and news platforms. Almost all interviews about him are the same. Even the gossip accounts that usually give something suspicious, the contents are the same. Nothing is suspicious.

Right now, Klami is moving towards her house only to prove, who is her lover? Could it be Lucian Warren?
