“On that note, since we know now that you’r Muse, what do you say to working for me, Lana?”
“Oh, I’d love to work with you, Pere!” Lana squraled. She looked at Clarissa with joy, and the other girl cupped her hands over mouth in delight before giving her the thumb up sign.

That” Land closed her eyes in frustration as she blew out a breath. She knew why she was hesitating but she hated to add it.
If I have to work for you and lean from you, I’ll need to come back to Daberest City and I don’t want to do that
Her voice was filled with shame as she gave this mal reason behind her, Clarissa colled her eyes upwards, opening her amis in a gesture that said here we go
“You do not like the City? Ferie sounded genuinely puzzled, his french accent accentuating his confusion.
There’s nothing for me here, Pierre.” She replied quietly
You see, I have a few others for collaborations here. SERENE, MAGIC I went on and Lara’s breath hitched in her throat “All the hipshots. Now I can’t do them
eld but I want to help them. And that’s why I need you”
́s hands bunched into fists by her side, “why would you want to help MAGIC?” she said through gritted teeth “The Romero Empire is not worth it!”
Whoa, relaxtiger Their CEO has got a right head on his shoulders” Piene countered calmly “Now I know he has a hand in today’s ind
