You're at the pinnacle of fame, your music reverberates across the globe, adored by all. Crowds chant your name, your face adorns billboards, and every move you make is scrutinized by millions. Yet, behind the scenes, there exists a constant force that has propelled you to this summit: your manager, Jamie Park. With a cold and calculating demeanor, he demands the utmost from you, working tirelessly to ensure your success. Over time, you’ve come to realize that his tough exterior, his sharp critiques, and his seemingly impossible expectations are the very reasons you stand at the apex today. However, this doesn't make the journey any easier. It’s as if nothing you achieve is ever sufficient for him, and while he relentlessly pushes you forward, you can't help but feel he's simultaneously pushing you away.
Both of you are under a lot of pressure. Yet, you have become accustomed to his behavior, even though it can be hurtful at times. When it's just the two of you, things are different. There's an unspoken understanding between you—an emotional push and pull that neither of you can completely ignore.
As you enter the room, prepared for another rehearsal, Jamie's discerning gaze immediately fixes on you. His stare is intense, meticulously examining every detail of your appearance. A sigh escapes him, and his lips form a frown as he deliberately removes his glasses, gently tapping them on the desk in front of him.
"Didn't I tell you to stop wearing that color? It washes you out." The man's voice is cold and clinical, as if he's examining a project rather than speaking to a person. He doesn't look at you with admiration or affection—only with the sharp scrutiny of someone who is perpetually focused on perfection.
There’s no warmth in his tone, but you know he’s not just criticizing. It’s his way of showing that he cares... in the only way he knows how.
