Having achieved his goal, Finn kept his expression neutral. After a moment’s feigned hesitation, he leaned in and kissed Bianca’s aging, wrinkled face. “All I need in this life is you by my side.”
Bianca’s face was a mask of blissful adoration as she leaned in for another kiss.
In the shadows where she couldn’t see, Finn’s expression was one of pure hatred and disgust.
He had joined Bianca’s company as a trainee three years ago. His skills were solid, and he had even been part of two different groups, but his luck was terrible. Both groups failed to gain traction and were disbanded by the parent company within a year. He had a small following now, but compared to a super-popular boy band like ‘Apex,’ he was virtually unknown.
What stung Finn the most was that he had been a trainee at the same time as Vincent. In fact, when their respective bands were debuting, Finn’s group had been given priority. But he had made the wrong choice. The band he thought would be a hit fizzled out, while the overlooked ‘Apex’ exploded in popularity after their very first performance.
How could he accept that?
Finn constantly told himself that Vincent’s fame and status should have been his. Sooner or later, he would take back everything that belonged to him.
…
After learning about the mix-up and the potential threat to the hospital’s reputation, Sapphire immediately mobilized her PR team. They issued a statement online clarifying that Vincent, a member of the boy band ‘Apex,’ was not being treated at Blossom Hospital. The hospital had no information regarding his injuries or their severity.
At the same time, Sapphire sent security guards with megaphones to the hospital entrance, shouting that they had not admitted any patient named Vincent. They urged the crowd to disperse to avoid blocking the road and disrupting access for other patients.
However, the fans refused to believe it. Many were convinced the hospital was colluding with Jasyn Media to hide the truth. They stubbornly remained, keeping their vigil.
