âThis is my cousin, Kay Lee. Kay, this is Brother James.â After introducing James to everyone, Thunder Davis led him directly to Kay Lee and rapidly introduced him.
âNice to meet you, Kay. Iâm actually a fan. I love your movies and songs.â As soon as Thunder Davis finished the introduction, Norton James excitedly spoke up, eagerly extending a hand for a handshake.
Kay Lee hesitated for a moment. Given her long time in the industry, she had met all kinds of people. Despite her young age, she had sharp eyes when it came to men. She had a pretty good idea of what this man wanted, even if she couldnât guess everything right on target.
Unlike the man named Elegant Sky she had just met, Jamesâs smile was artificial, and his words were even more so. Kay had a close friend, Sarah Wood, who had told her about these third-generation men, especially those with powerful backgrounds. It was one thing for them to claim liking a song, but claiming to be a fan was just nonsense.
Sarah had revealed a lot of insider information to Kay. So, she was well aware of these circles, which made Jamesâs words seem incredibly false. Still, she quickly reached out for a handshake to keep appearances, since he was there to celebrate her grandfatherâs birthday. But she withdrew her hand quickly before James could even get a firm hold.
âAs for the endorsement fee, weâre flexible. How does a hundred million a year sound?â James suggested boldly, a sum that even made bystanders gasp. A hundred million per year? Such an endorsement fee would be incredibly high for any celebrity, equating to roughly 20 million Federal coins a year. Even many international megastars did not command such high endorsement fees.
The news left the Davis clanâs younger members gasping in disbelief. The ensuing buzzing chatter was music to Jamesâs ears. He relished the idea of having caused such a sensation.
âIâm sorry.â Without hesitation or concern for the reactions of those around her, Kay shook her head and declined, âI already have a few endorsement contracts. Given the yearly rate youâre suggesting, you could get any top-tier star worldwide, including those from Floral Village. You have better options, Mr. James.â
âYouâre declining?â James looked at Kay in surprise. He had heard that Kayâs contract had been terminated, but he didnât know why. Kay owed a significant amount of money, didnât she? With no movie roles, album releases, or TV dramas coming her way, and only a couple of endorsements, how could she manage to make a living? This is why James was confident that Kay couldnât possibly decline such a lucrative endorsement offer. He had plenty of time to win her over once the contract was signed.
What he never thought of in his wildest dreams was that Kay would indeed decline. A total, ultimate rejection. Prior to coming here, he did not regard Kay Leeâs family as anything significant. Although his grandfather and Kayâs were wartime buddies, they were just that, and the old men were getting on in years. No one knew when they would pass away.
Although the Davis Clan also had a company worth tens of billions, Norton never cared about that. They had no other background, and he could play around with them as he pleased. Furthermore, Kay didnât get along with her father, did she?
âYes, Iâm sorry, but I must decline the offer because Iâm too exhausted,â Kay said without emotion.
