Chapter 269
Phoebe had been swamped these past ten days. Things were moving fast, but she was used to that.
The biggest thing on her plate? Quintus’s song was finally recorded, and everything was lining up perfectly,
She started by making sure Brian’s team capitalized on their variety show’s recent success, keeping the momentum going.
At the same time, short clips of Quintus’s song were blowing up online, pushing his name even further into the spotlight.
But there was one issue, the version recorded in the bar wasn’t the best. The sound quality wasn’t great, and fans were practically begging for a proper release.

With all these big names backing it, the song’s popularity skyrocketed.
And it wasn’t just hype, the song was actually incredible. That was why it blew up so fast.
It didn’t take long before it dominated every major music platform’s charts; new songs, hot songs, trending playlists, you name it.
Just like that. Quintus became a sensation overnight. He was already ridiculously good–looking, but now that his name was everywhere, his fan base
exploded.
His follower count shot up like crazy, and people couldn’t stop talking about him.
Behind the scenes, plenty of singers were feeling a mix of envy and admiration. Some grumbled that Quintus had just gotten lucky by joining Phoebe’s label.
But luck had nothing to do with it, this was all Phoebe’s work. She had paved the way, and Quintus had delivered.
Phoebe had taken both Gwen and Quintus to the top, and thanks to both of them, her label was now bigger than ever. It was the hottest place to be

Music was his passion If there was an opportunity that let him sing, that was always going to be his first choice
Phoebe smirked, as if she had already predicted his answer. “I thought you’d say that. Honestly, I was hoping you would.
“Your song is everywhere right now, and this is the perfect time to keep that momentum going. This variety show might not be as big as the one I was on, but it’s a much better fit for you”
Quintus had joined their variety show as a guest later on, which helped boost his visibility i

et his name out there..
But there was only so much he could gain from it. The audience wasn’t necessarily there for the music, so while it helped his reputation, it didn’t da much to solidify his fanbase.
Phoebe figured a music–focused show would be a better fit. There, he wouldn’t just be riding a wave of popularity, he would actually get to showcase his talent and attract fans who genuinely loved his music
Quintus nodded. “Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking. I love music, and I’d rather be on a show that lets me focus on that.”
He was genuinely grateful to have Phoche as his manager. She actually thought about what was best for him long–term, instead of just chasing whatever seemed hottest at the moment.
If he were still with his old agency, they wouldn’t have cared what worked for him. They would’ve just thrown him into the most high–profile showr available, whether he was a good fit for it or not.
And the truth was, he wasn’t exactly a natural at variety shows. He wasn’t the type to crack jokes or steal the spotlight in group settings.
The last show had been fun, but if Phoebe hadn’t been there guiding him, he probably would’ve faded into the background.
However, with music, that was where he could really prove himself.
Phoebe nodded. “Alright, I’ll set it up. The variety show is in two weeks, so start preparing. Wendy will go with you, she’ll handle anything that comes up.”
Wendy was more than capable, so there was nothing to worry about. Quintus grinned. “Got it. Thanks, Ms. Jenkins.”
With that settled, Phoebe turned to Milton. “Your scenes as the second male lead are done, so I’m thinking of sending you to the variety show for this episode.
“You need more exposure, and this is the perfect chance. There’s no reason to pass up a good opportunity.”
Sebastian had secured her studio a guest spot, and she wasn’t about to waste it
Gwen was still tied up with filening, and Quintus had another project on his plate, so it made sense to give the spot to Milion.

Milion smiled. “Sounds good. I’ll I go with whatever you decide, Ms. Jenkins?
He trusted Phoebe complicly. She wasn’t the kind of manager who overworked her artish just for profit. Every decision she made was well thought our and actually benefited them.
Phoebe similed back. “Alright, then it’s settled”
She grabbed a script and handed it to him. “This is a period mystery drama. I got you an audition for the male lead. Take this home, study th
the role, and I’ll go with you to the audition in three days
“I already read through it. The plot is solid, plenty of twists, well–paced, and full of suspense. The mystery keeps building, and it doesn’t rely on chicap drama or forced romance.
“I really think this slow could be a hit, and I want you to go for the lead role
She studied him for a momkuu “The character is isudung like you, which makes this a great challenge. If you pull it off, it’ll push your acting to the
next level
“Il you’re serious about this career, you need to be versatile. You can’t let yourself get stuck playing the same kind of role over and over. Expanding your range is the key to longevity in this industry”
Than drama was one of the projects she had secured through Remy. In her past life, she had never heard of it, which meant either it never got nude or ut failed to gain traction.
Sull, she really liked this script. The suspense plot was tight, well–structures, and full of twists. If the lead actor nailed it, this could be a career- debning role. And she wanted Milton to get it.
Milton took the script, flipping through the pages with growing excitement.
