When the two arrived at Abertawe Airport, it was already past eight in the evening, nearing nine.
Their seats were in the economy class, close to the exit door. As soon as the plane stopped, they hurriedly walked out.
As soon as they entered the airport terminal, a wave of heat hit them in the face.
Carrie Thomas frowned, āItās so hot.ā
Harrison Clark nodded, āIt is a bit.ā
Compared to Oxfordshire, Abertawe is geographically more southern, making
the climate much warmer.
Although it was already nighttime, the terminal was inexplicably crowded, and the airport had the warm air-conditioning on without any reservation, which made the two unbearably hot.
āWhat the hell, itās so late, why are there so many people in the domestic flight
terminal?ā
Harrison Clark shrugged, āWho knows?ā
As he spoke, he took off his coat and hung it over his arm, āYou should take off your coat too. Youāre sweating on your face. The sudden temperature change could easily cause a cold, which would be very troublesome.ā
Carrie Thomas seemed a little hesitant.
āWeāve come all this way and gambled everything we have. You donāt want to get sick and miss out, do you?ā
Harrison Clark urged.
Carrie Thomas reluctantly nodded, and only then did she awkwardly take off
her white coat.
When she really took it off, Harrison Clark understood why she was uneasy.
It turned out that her blue turtleneck sweater inside was so tight that it revealed her slender waist and full chest without a doubt.
Such astonishing curves stood out even more in the crowded airport terminal, attracting many people to turn their gaze.
Carrie Thomas was not used to the attention of so many people, holding her coat up to her face, trying to hide herself, only then did she feel a bit better.
āWhatās going on?ā
Her muffled voice came through the coat.
Harrison Clark also felt the situation was a bit weird.
Although Carrie Thomasās looks were flawless and the tight sweater revealed an imposing figure, the enthusiasm in the crowdās eyes was still a bit too strong.
It felt as if they were looking at a famous superstar.
At that moment, not far from the two, someone shouted, āWow! Avril Green is here!ā
Now everything was fine, the crowd surged and rushed over.
Harrison Clark and Carrie Thomas were taken aback, retreating and trying to keep their distance from the crowd.
Harrison Clark prepared himself, āSomethingās not right, weāve been mistaken. Iāll figure out a way to distract these people and cover for you while you run.ā
Carrie Thomas asked, āHow do you cover?ā
Looking at the approaching crowd, Harrison Clark gritted his teeth, āIāll take off my pants! Iāll streak!ā
Carrie Thomas:
āAre you really going all out?ā
āThereās no choice, you donāt know how crazy fans can be. Once these people swarm up, something like a stampede accident could happen.ā
Carrie Thomas panicked, simply took off her coat, pointed to her face, and shouted loudly: āIām not Avril Green! Look carefully! Iām not Avril Green!ā
Only then did the already chaotic crowd calm down a bit.
āHuh, sheās really not? She seems taller than Avril Green.ā
āAnd her chest seems bigger too.ā
āWho shouted just now?ā
A weak voice said, āIt was me. Actually, I donāt know Avril Green. I just thought she looked so pretty, like a star, so I thought she was Avril Green.ā
āReally? As a fan, be more professional!ā
āNo, Iām just a passerby watching the excitement, I donāt chase stars.ā āAlright then. Actually, itās not all your fault. This girl does look special, she has such an aura, she must be a star too, just not as famous as Avril Green.ā
Some polite people came forward to apologize to Harrison Clark and Carrie Thomas.
Some even wanted to ask for Carrie Thomasās autograph, which left her at a loss, but she couldnāt resist the enthusiasm of those who wanted it, so she took the paper and pen to sign.
She thought to herself that maybe someday she would have to sign autographs anyway, so it wouldnāt hurt to practice now.
Just then, another commotion came from another exit.
āAvril Green is here!ā
āThis is the real Avril Green!āIn the blink of an eye, the people in front of the
two had run away without a trace.
Carrie Thomas stared blankly at the pen and notebook in her hand.
The person who had been waiting for her autograph was already gone.
The large airport terminal was empty and deserted where they stood.
In stark contrast was the bustling crowd at the other end.
Somehow, the person from before had rushed back, snatched the pen and paper from Carrie Thomas, and said, āSorry, Avril Green wants everyone to line up for autographsā¦ā
Before he could finish his sentence, he had already vanished into the crowd.
Harrison Clark sighed, āDonāt look. You donāt need to be envious. Youāll be more popular than her, much more. Maybe ten times more.ā
Harrison Clark wasnāt very good at comforting others, so he could only tell the truth.
Carrie Thomas turned her face away sharply and quickly walked towards the airport exit, āI donāt envy her!ā
Harrison Clark didnāt expose her lie.
It wasnāt until they had taken a taxi, checked into a hotel in the suburbs, and were about to retreat to their rooms that Carrie Thomas admitted, āAlright, I lied. I thought I could be indifferent. Iāve told myself countless times that I make music not for fame but simply because I love it. But when I see those people like that, I still feel a bit disappointed.ā
Harrison Clark shook his head, āItās only human nature.ā
āDo you really think Iāll become more famous than Avril Green? Sheās almost at the peak of her fame now! I donāt have her family background, nor do I have her resources. You havenāt studied music, so you donāt know how expensive it is to succeed in this business. I really canāt compete with her, and I canāt (f)reenovelkiss.com
surpass her.ā
Harrison Clark laughed, āYouāre wrong on two counts. First, she hasnāt reached her peak yet. Second, you definitely can.ā
āThank you for your kind words.ā
Carrie Thomas nodded and went back to her room.
However, Harrison Clark didnāt immediately wash up and go to bed.
He didnāt expect that Avril Green would also be on this flight. She must have been in first class, which was why they hadnāt met.
He had no idea why Avril Green had come to Abertawe, but it was undoubtedly an unpleasant coincidence.
Nevertheless, the striking contrast between Carrie Thomas and Avril Green that day served as a wake-up call for him.
He had to figure out a way to secure things with No. 1 Fly, and he couldnāt rely solely on the Spotify Top contract. Otherwise, if they couldnāt even get through the door at No. 1 Fly from the beginning, the situation would become even more difficult.
After all, the cost of this trip was too high, and Harrison and Carrie couldn t afford to lose or waste time.
Looking around the simply furnished hotel room, Harrison Clark felt the sting of the expense.
This shabby hotel, where even opening and closing the windows would cause a screeching noise.
If the air conditioner was turned on, a buzzing sound could be heard.
The TV wasnāt a new ultra-thin flat-screen but an old, domestically-produced LCD that had seen better days.
In a nutshell, if this hotel were in Oxfordshire, it would cost just over a hundred pounds a night.
It had no right to call itself a hotel. It should be called an inn instead.
But in the economically developed city of Abertawe, a standard room at this rundown inn cost 488 per night! And they had the audacity to call it a special price!
Now the two of them needed two rooms. If they were delayed for another day, including meal expenses, they would lose at least 12 or 1300.
They could only hold out for three days at most.
After hesitating for five minutes, Harrison Clark took out his phone and dialed Bella Rossās number.
After exchanging simple and insincere pleasantries, Harrison Clark stated his intentions.
Although he felt somewhat embarrassed asking for help this way, Bella Ross readily agreed.
This time, Avril Green came to Abertawe for a large-scale solo concert.
As for Bella Ross, she would take advantage of the trip to visit some well-known companies and important channels, including No. 1 Flyās copyright department.
Even the president of No. 1 Flyās business department would personally appear in the VIP seats at Avril Greenās concert.
āLike this, Iāll go to No. 1 Fly Headquarters tomorrow morning. By that time, 111 mention your name to the copyright director, Howard Bruno, and give him your phone number. Heāll definitely save it and help you set up a meeting time with him. If I introduce you, he shouldnāt drag his feet, so it should only take a couple of days.ā
Harrison Clark expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Bella Ross teased, āMr. Clark, youāre really playing favorites. We tried to help Leah Clark buy your song before, but you refused to sell. Now, not only have you let this person sing it, but youāre actually accompanying them to sell the song.ā
Hearing this, Harrison Clark could only laugh and try to gloss over the issue. He had come to Abertawe with Carrie Thomas not to woo her, but because more than half the value of the song was due to his own efforts.
āAlright, I wonāt interrogate you any further. You artistic people can find a reason for anything.ā
Harrison Clark couldnāt handle Bella Rossās insinuations and could only continue to laugh it off.
However, Bella Ross didnāt dwell on the issue for too long and soon revealed her real purpose..
