Lead The Way (BL)

SIX

(unedited)

After buying his new phone, Gene had walked aimlessly on the streets, thinking deeply about what he had just seen. There was no mistaking that the young man he had seen on screen was his son but he couldn't understand why he had become an idol...

When Gene had died, most of his assets should have gone over to his son like he wanted in his will. It was enough assets to last him ten lifetimes or even more...yet why? Why is he working as an Idol? It can't be because he is hard up on cash...maybe he wants to be an Idol? Gene remembered a boy a little older than three telling him he wants to be a teacher.

Genes chest tightened. Memories that were once happy, were now painful for him. When had that happened? Gene couldn't remember.

"Dammit with all these questions!" Gene cursed under his breath and clenched his fists.

He had been so naive to think that because he had been given a second chance at life, that he'd easily just fix everything. He hasn't even begun to fix things and already it's proving to be hard.

Just where is he suppose to start fixing things?!

An hour later, Gene came across his first answer; TEN Enterprise.

TEN enterprise is one of the leading Entertainment businesses in Newland, standing on par with The Golden Corporation. The company operates as a talent agency, music production, record label and music publisher. They have even produced a few A-list actors who have won emmys and golden globes. TEN also houses some of the most popular acts to have gained recognition internationally, from boy groups like 2sides and solo artists like Shinley. They have signed many other artists that have made a mark of their own and are still rising in reputation, showing just how impressive this company is.

Gene had traded with the company on a few occasions in the past, but his line of business was more...underground work and focused more internationally so the relationship didn't develope well. The last time Gene had met with the founders of TEN enterprise, it was still run by the Trent brother. Now apparently, it was run mostly by the CEO Gene is dreading to meet. If Gene’s suspicions are right, then that CEO should be the Dylan Carne whom Cia loved...but he doesn’t yet have proof so it is only a suspicion still.

TEN Enterprise was a large building, with 12 floors and a private parking lot. And this was only their Main headquarter - they still had four other buildings stationed around the country.

The bottom floors are where all the rookies, their managers and other regular workers worked. Near the center is the cafeteria which is no different than a 4-star restaurant and the higher floors were all reserved for the major leagues. Gene had a rough Idea on who worked on those levels and what to expect. He had once been at the same level, so how could he not? Sure his business wasn't a part of entertainment but it wasn't that different in how it operates or the social standings.

Originally, Gene planned to stop by and hand in his resignation, but after seeing that his son was signed under the same company - plans changed. He had no solid plan at this moment, but he was considering one -- to become the fourth member of Tiptonic. He only found out they were seeking another member when that shop assistant had let it slip again.

"Fuck it, if it doesn't work out then I'll just go with plan A."

Gene entered the building and strolled right to the receptionist desk.

When the lady manning the desk saw him, her face turned slightly sour and she asked in a near hostile voice. "I thought you don't don't return for another two weeks?"
