Chapter 1005: Chapter 1012

Ariana’s brow furrowed.

Something felt off.

The vocal coach provided by the production team should have been here by now.

Without the vocal coach, they couldn’t move to the next stage.

Without delay, Ariana decided to step outside to find out what was going on.

She approached the person in charge and asked politely, “Excuse me, but where is the vocal coach for our team? They were supposed to be here by now.

”

The person in charge seemed nonchalant as he responded, “All the vocal coaches from the production team are already booked by other teams.

You’ll have to make your own arrangements.

”

“What?” Ariana was taken aback and her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She pulled out the program’s schedule and said, “But we had already booked Mr.

Jacob Faustin, and the production team approved it.

Why isn’t he here?”

The person in charge glanced at the schedule and casually explained, “It’s not the production team’s fault.

Mr.

Faustin had a sudden change in his schedule, and he’s fully booked now.

Since he’s unavailable, the production team can’t help.

You’ll need to deal with it yourselves.

”

When the person finished talking and left, Ariana heard familiar voices near the entrance.

She walked over and saw Jacob talking to a well-dressed male agent from another team.

The male agent had a striking figure in his sharp, well-tailored suit.

He stood tall and lean, his hair was neatly slicked back, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses.

The light caught his features just right, highlighting the contours of his side profile.

Ariana identified the man as a representative from Rollingrock Media, a company known for managing B-list and C-list artists.

They were widely regarded as the top contender in the competition as they boasted abundant resources, strong qualifications, and stayed at the forefront of industry trends.

Also, during the live broadcast the previous day, some lesser-known artists had already shown up to support them, further solidifying their status.

Ariana overheard Jacob’s words to the male agent, delivered with a friendly smile.

“Okay, I understand.

I’ll be depending on your support from no

w on.

”

This left Ariana with an uneasy feeling, as she sensed that the male agent was trying to lure Jacob away from their team.

Suppressing her dissatisfaction, she approached Jacob and asked politely, “Mr.

Faustin, wasn’t the production team supposed to assign you to our team? Why are you.

.

?”

Jacob interrupted her, gave her a dismissive look, and said, “I requested to switch to the production team.

You’ll need to find a replacement.

”

Ariana’s expression grew cold as she retorted, “You should know that the production team plans everything ahead.

If you’ve changed teams, there won’t be a ready replacement.

”

Jacob shrugged indifferently.

“That’s not my business.

I’ve switched, and you’ll have to sort yourself out.

” Jacob said nonchalantly, not even bothering to give Ariana another glance.

Ariana’s demeanor turned cold as she said, “Your actions aren’t fair.

Changing teams last-minute without notice and leaving us to find a replacement isn’t going to reflect well if it becomes public.

”
