"And that's a wrap!" The screen faded as Nathaniel turned towards Arthur sitting beside him at the conference table. "What did you think? Is this promotional video good?" he asked eagerly.

Arthur snapped back from his thoughts with a satisfied nod. "It's excellent, very well done!"

Nathaniel smiled knowingly. "And remember, you're now in charge of Osborn Real Estate and Construction Group; you don't always have to call me here, you can handle things independently as long as you feel it's right."

After pondering briefly, Arthur replied thoughtfully before changing the subject. "By the way... who was that girl in the video?"

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow playfully. "What are you implying?"

"It's just that her personality fits perfectly with an idea I have for a program," Arthur explained quickly.

Nathaniel chuckled but then shifted back into serious mode. "The commercial plaza model is ready; would you like to see it?"

"Absolutely!" Arthur replied enthusiastically as they made their way out.

In moments they entered an expansive room showcasing models of luxurious villas, skyscrapers, residential complexes, all elegantly displayed.

"These models reflect what we plan on building based on your blueprint," Nathaniel said proudly.

Arthur nodded appreciatively as they walked down the aisles until Nathaniel stopped suddenly.

"Here we are!" he announced.

Arthur's eyes widened in awe at the enormous model of their commercial plaza, it was intricately detailed down to every last feature outlined in their blueprint!

"This is fantastic!" Arthur exclaimed joyfully while inspecting every angle of the model.

Nathaniel beamed back at him. "We're even creating a display center so people can come admire it before completion!"

"That's brilliant!" Arthur agreed wholeheartedly.

As they continued discussing plans, including updates from Emerald Group about skyscraper designs, Arthur felt excitement bubbling inside him about tomorrow's groundbreaking ceremony.

"I'm heading over to second aunt's place; if funds run low just apply for more from first aunt," he said confidently as they approached the elevator.

Nathaniel nodded understandingly as he watched Arthur step inside before returning back toward his office.

Arthur stepped out of the office building and into the parking lot, where his sleek sports car awaited him.

With a roar of the engine, he shot off into the distance, quickly disappearing from view.

As he drove, the wind whipped through his hair, and he leaned back in his seat with a relaxed grin.

The world around him blurred into a beautiful tapestry of colors, each flash of scenery bringing an involuntary smile to his face.

Just then, his phone buzzed, jolting him back to reality.

"Evolon!" Arthur called softly into the device.

A moment later, a clear and melodious voice responded from the other end. "Hey Arthur! Are you there?"

"Yo Clara! What's up?" Arthur's lips curled into a smile at her familiar tone.

"Well, Snow has been clamoring to see you," Clara said playfully.

Arthur raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "I wish I could drop by right now, but I'm swamped! When I find some free time, I'll take her out for some fun."

"Oh! Okay," Clara replied, though he could hear a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"Talk to you later!" she added cheerfully.

"Yeah!" Arthur replied before hanging up. He sighed and rubbed his nose thoughtfully; it had been three days since that unforgettable trip to the amusement park with Liz when they ran into Clara and Snow.

Those were good times, just yesterday he'd taken Clara out for dinner, which had gone surprisingly well.

But as soon as he thought about it again, he shook his head to clear those thoughts away.

A few minutes later, Arthur parked his car and headed back into the office building straight toward his second aunt Emily's office.

"You made it just in time,the audition is about to start!" Emily exclaimed as soon as he entered.

"Great! Let's go," Arthur replied with enthusiasm as they made their way to the audition room together.

Upon arrival, they were greeted by a flurry of activity, staff members setting up equipment and several neatly dressed individuals milling about.

Most were young women in their twenties; others were older but equally polished.

Arthur scanned the room and guessed these must be the artists auditioning for roles within their company.

He knew how crucial it was for them to find someone whose voice could rival Celine Dion's for their Titanic theme song, a perfect match was essential if they wanted everything to come together flawlessly.

"Oh! Aunt Emily," he suddenly asked with curiosity, "has the music app been finalized?"

"It's almost ready, just a few tweaks left before launch," she assured him with a bright smile.

"And what about finding singers for our other songs? Any luck?" Arthur pressed on eagerly.

"Most are already secured; recording is going smoothly! We're also shooting various music videos, it won't be long before we release these tracks alongside the app!" Emily explained enthusiastically.

"Good!" Arthur nodded in satisfaction as they settled down at their judges' seats among six other seasoned professionals who were well-versed in music industry knowledge.

As they took their places, all seven judges stood respectfully and greeted them warmly.

"Let's begin!" Emily announced with authority as she waved her hand to kick off.

The moment Emily waved her hand to signal the start of the audition, an electric hush fell over the room.

All eyes turned to the stage as the first contestant stepped forward, bowing slightly to the judges before clearing her throat.

With no musical accompaniment, she began to sing, just her raw voice filling the space.

This was it: a true test of whether her voice could capture the essence of the song.

The young woman, probably around twenty-five, was strikingly beautiful with a captivating presence.

Her voice was sweet and pleasant, but something crucial was missing, the melancholic depth that this song demanded.

Instead of conveying emotion, she seemed to be merely reciting the lyrics without feeling.

Emily glanced at Arthur, curiosity flickering in her eyes. What did he think?

Arthur met her gaze and shook his head subtly.

His expression said it all; he wasn't impressed.

In fact, he felt that this performance fell far short of what he had hoped for.

Although Arthur considered himself a novice in music and singing, he possessed enough understanding to recognize when someone just didn't fit the bill.
