Chapter 4: Chapter 4 - First Recruit, Yuna!
"Becoming your manager…uh," Darius acted as if he hesitated. "I'm not too sure if that would be in my greatest interest."
She frowned. "What do you mean that would be great for you? You wouldn't be an assistant any longer. You would actually have an artist under you."
Darius was surprised. She looked determined to get him as her manager, which was surprising since she would be her first one.
"Why do you want me so much? You could probably find someone better within the industry."
She shook her head. "Ah…I don't know. If I join a big agcy, they'll probably not ev glance at me or ev take care of me. That's why if I'm the only one that you have to take care of, th all your atttion will be on me."
Darius couldn't help but nod. Her decision wasn't random; she had actually thought this through quite a lot, and for the most part, she was totally right. However, joining a rookie manager had those advantages. It also had disadvantages, such as a lack of resources.
"What about my cut from your earnings?" Darius asked.
"Uh…what do you offer?"
"What about…5%?" Darius wasn't too greedy. For the simple reason that he knew about the future, 5% of her income would be literal millions in a few years. This was simply an investmt, and he could also increase his cut as he became more and more famous for his talts as a Manager.
She thought for a bit and finally nodded. "Sure, sounds good. You better deserve those 5% in the future."
She had a smile on her face as she "threated" Darius. However, it was more of a playful commt than anything.
"Should I call Colin right away to announce the news about our departure?" Yuna asked.

However, Darius shook his head. He still had hours until tomorrow. He might as well have a little fun with his resignation. He wanted Colin to remember it for the rest of his life. Darius wanted him to regret all the things he had done in the past to him…ev if they hadn't happed in this timeline.
Either way, he had completed his first quest, ev if it wasn't official just yet. His rewards could wait. He would joy his day.
"Let's wait a little. The day still isn't over. We hav't ev finished our coffee."
She smiled. "Right…I did ask to hang out with you."
Her cheeks turned red upon realizing that she was the one who had asked for all this.
"Don't think that I'm an easy girl or anything like that. I never ask guys out…you're, uh, differt."
A smirk appeared on his face. "And how exactly am I differt?"
She looked away from Darius as he stared at her. "I-I don't know…it's your ergy. There's just something about it."
Darius frowned at those words as it was the first time that he had gott the slightest clue about the voice in his mind. Thinking about it, Darius decided to ask it a question directly.
'Who are you?'
He waited for a few seconds, and nothing happed. There was no beeping noise inside his mind. He could only guess. All Darius knew was that this voice was extremely powerful. It brought him back to the past, and it also gave him a skill that has the pottial to become extremely rich and famous in the future.
"You still there?" Yuna asked as she noticed that Darius looked distracted with something. She tderly touched his arm as she said those words.
Darius looked at her and noticed that she was already done with her coffee. "Right, sorry, I just thought about something else for a few seconds. Since you're done with your coffee, where do you want to go next?"
She looked hesitant. But formed an answer in a few seconds. "Uh…I don't feel like doing anything, really. I just want to go home."
Darius's eyes wided. 'Is she inviting me there?'
He thought that she was moving forward quite fast as he hadn't expected something like that to happ right away. He had planned on taking things slowly so that she could learn more about his special skill later. But if she wanted to get more intimate right away, th Darius wouldn't refuse.
"Sure, I can drive you there."
They both got into the van once again and quickly toward her house, which wasn't too far away from where she had be staying. However, wh they arrived, a look of confusion found its way on Darius's face.
'That's her house?' He thought, perplexed as it looked nothing like he imagined. The arrogant Yuna was living in a pitiful apartmt in the middle of nowhere. Still, with her looks, it wouldn't take long to find her multiple deals to make a lot of money.
"We should call Colin together before I leave. That way, we can explain what we want to tell him at the same time," Darius said with a serious look on his face.
He wasn't planning on being invited inside as he was only supposed to be dropping her off. He had also accomplished his quest, meaning that he couldn't care less if things were stopped right here today. After all, he would get a lot more opportunities since she was now his first recruit.
Still, wh Darius looked in her direction, it was clear that Yuna was hesitating about something as her mouth oped and closed a few times, and her face was bright red.
"Y-You want to leave already?" She whispered. However, ev with the low tone of her voice, Darius was able to hear it perfectly.
"Well, I don't know. I thought you wanted to sleep or something. Isn't that why you wanted to go home?"
Darius acted naive on purpose, as he didn't want Yuna to have a bad opinion of him.
Still, she shook her head. "N-No, you should come inside. We should talk a little bit more about the contract and all that stuff."
It was clearly an excuse, but Darius just shrugged. Who was he to refuse to get intimate with such a beauty?
"Sure, let's go inside."
