Chapter 1745
[ 630 words ]
Perhaps Claire’s expression was a bit too loud, because Yorick instantly read her mind.
“I just remembered your advice from last time-about me getting into the
entertainment industry.”
“I was wondering if you might have any connections.”
Yorick felt intensely nervous as Claire just stared at him in silence.
Still, driven by his desperation to climb the social ladder, he forced a charming smile.
“I come from a very ordinary background. I don’t have the network to just walk into the industry.”
“If you could help me out, I promise I’ll never forget it.”
“You’re focused on medicine, so you probably don’t realize how impossibly hard it is for normal people to get a big break.”
“What makes you think I can help?” Claire stared him down. “I’m just a normal student too.”
“Didn’t I already give you my advice?”
“You should go to an idol survival show.”
“With your dance skills, dominating one of those boy band camps should be a walk in the park.”
Yorick knew perfectly well that if he joined a show like that, he would definitely go viral.
But without powerful backers, viral fame just turned you into a stepping stone for the agencies’ favored trainees.
He didn’t just want fame; he wanted a patron to protect him.
If Claire could introduce him to the right people, his career would skyrocket.
Wasn’t that infinitely faster than trying to seduce some random wealthy heiress?
Why was Yorick so convinced Claire had insane connections?
It all stemmed from Sloane Sterling’s birthday party.
He had attended the party specifically to network and suck up to the VIPs.
The Sterling family might only be in the medical field, but their network was vast, and they had a patriarch whose influence reached the highest levels of Cabinda’s elite.
A single word from a family like that could give him everything he ever wanted.
So, he had bent over backward trying to charm the Sterling family’s little princess.
But Sloane hadn’t given him the time of day.
Yet, Yorick vividly remembered how Claire had completely humiliated Sloane without breaking a sweat.
Claire also had an insanely powerful fiancé and had even casually
stro the top floor of the.ne
prestigious Lumina Lounge
But so what? A good poacher never let a heavily guarded fence stop him.
If he could somehow outshine Dane, wouldn’t a line of heiresses be practically begging to sponsor him?
Yorick’s head was full of wild, delusional fantasies.
“I could definitely do it, but I’m worried about executives demanding… unsavory
favors.”
“Every
those idol shows are full
of ndals. Someone like me,
with zero backing, can’t compete with the industry plants
“Even if I’m the most talented one there, they’ll just edit me out to protect the nepotism hires.”
Claire had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. He really thought highly of himself.
“I think with your sheer talent, you’d crush the industry plants.”
“In the face of absolute superiority, nepotism hires will just crumble in shame!”
Yorick desperately wanted to scream, You are so incredibly naive!
Even if the industry plants performed like absolute garbage, they were always the ones laughing at the end!
But Claire was already lifting her glass. “Good luck, Yorick! Wishing you all the best!”
By acting completely oblivious, she efficiently strangled everything he wanted to say in the crib.
Yorick watched in a daze as Claire walked out of the coffee shop.
He strongly suspected she was playing dumb, but he had zero proof.
Realizing today had been a total waste, his anxiety spiked.
The registration deadline for the survival shows had already passed.
If he wanted to cut the line and get an audition, he needed a powerful connection.
Since Claire was a dead end, he had to find another way.
He wasn’t giving up on her completely; he figured he would try again in a few days.
But right now, his priority was scrolling through the other girls he was stringing along to see if any of them had ties to the entertainment” world.
All he needed was one audition slot.
