From Nobody to Star: Her Love with CEO

3.Lyra failed？

And just last night, Lyra Lowell called her best friend, Chloe Taylor, who was an entertainment reporter for a tabloid magazine.

“I can't write anything, Chloe. My mind's all in a mess, but after twelve o'clock, the registration for that competition will be closed...”

Lyra had always been tough and independent. Even now, though her voice was choked with sobs, she still tried her best to hold back her tears.

“But I really need money. My medical bills are are enough to crush me. The driver ran away. And Daniel didn't want to call the police.”

“He also told me that he would never come forward to testify. And the damn rain that night just washed away all the evidence.That driver disappeared without a trace!”

“I shamefully accepted that $2000 and signed the agreement. I sold all my songs for $2000, but it's just a drop in the ocean. It's only enough to pay the first month's installment of my medical bills.

Unless I join in that music show and win the prize. No, that competition lasts for three months, but I can't afford the money for the second month... Oh God, what should I do, Chloe? Are you listening?”

“Just a minute, just a minute...”the female voice on the other end of the phone had been rather indifferent all along.

“Chloe, what are you doing?” Lyra knew Chloe. But her attitude at the moment really confused Lyra.

“Oh, I made it! Haha!” On the other end of the phone, Chloe's voice suddenly became extremely excited.

“Just a minute. There's one last thing... Success! I did it! Hey, Lyra, thank me later. When you become a big star and make a lot of money, you must treat me to dinner at the best restaurant!”

“Wait, what are you talking about, Chloe? You've really confused me.” Lyra was at a loss.

“Lyra, do you remember the first song you wrote? You sent it to me. Thank God, I saved it. Just now, at 11:59, I've already sent this song to the audition registration email of 《Rising Music Stars》!”

“Do you mean 《Raindrop Memories》?”Of course Lyra remembered this song. It was her debut work.

Lyra's mother died in a fire, but Lyra managed to survive. The belated heavy rain put out the fierce flames, but her mother stopped breathing forever...

With such grief, Lyra wrote the first song in her life, 《Raindrop Memories》.

The piano keys she played were like raindrops, and each raindrop carried her memories of her mother, causing ripples of longing.

But in Lyra's current view,the arrangement of this song is not mature enough.That's why the picky Daniel didn't take a fancy to 《Raindrop Memories》 and left it to Lyra.

And Lyra subconsciously forgot about this song. Because every time she thought of her mother, she would be swallowed up by pain and darkness.

“Yes, and... Remember to check your bank account. I don't have much money. It's just enough to pay your medical bills for two month.”

Lyra had already received the text message notifying the money transfer to her bank account. She was so touched that she almost didn't know what to say.

Chloe wasn't rich. She was just an entertainment reporter for an unknown tabloid.

However, even though Chloe knew about Lyra's relationship with Daniel, she had never betrayed her friend to earn a bonus for herself.

And now，Chloe was willing to do whatever she could to help Lyra get through this.

Even when Lyra confronted Daniel, fought back against Evelyn, received the sky-high medical bills and couldn't write a new song, Lyra didn't shed a single tear.

But now，a tear dropped onto the screen of Lyra phone.

“Chloe, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you. Anyway, I'll pay you back as soon as possible...”

“It's nothing. Just five thousand dollars. As a sponsorship for a future star, it's so worth it!”

Lyra could hardly describe the warmth in her heart at the moment with words.

Daniel had always been criticizing that what Lyra wrote was nothing new.

Since Daniel was a music producer she admired so much, Lyra believed his words without doubt.

Even when she sometimes had different opinions, she would always be put off by Daniel's unquestionable “Don't you forget who I am. Never question the professional.”

As for Evelyn, she would use the crudest language to insult Lyra, calling her a stupid pig, and saying that a pig could never make its song appreciated by humans, unless that person was also a pig.

Ah, Lyra should have used this sentence to fight back against Evelyn when she was showing off 《Shape of you》: “Evelyn, it seems that you are the stupid pig now.”

But there were two people who had always been firmly supporting her. One was Chloe, and the other was her online friend Bunny.

Thinking of Bunny, Chloe couldn't help feeling a bit sad. Because of the car accident, she hadn't logged into her social media account for a long time, and she didn't know how Bunny was doing recently.

Lyra decided that even if she would be ridiculed by Evelyn and even if Grayson would do everything he could to block her, this time, she was willing to fight for those who supported her.

She was willing to turn into a vengeful goddess and show those who betrayed her that she was the one capable of changing the music industry.

Lyra got up early the next day because today was the day when 《Rising Music Stars》 announced the list of the audition winners.

Mike, Ken, Nana...

Lyra's heart skipped a beat because she saw the name of Evelyn Grayson.

This competition was open to amateurs and new singers.With the promotion of the Grayson family, Evelyn was quite a hot singer recently.

She would be a tough opponent. More importantly, it also meant that the Grayson family would get involved.

But it doesn't matter. Lyra had already been prepared for this level of difficulty. She would fight to the end. But...

The scroll wheel of the mouse couldn't move anymore. The webpage had reached the bottom.

Lyra's heart sank gradually.

She almost doubted that she had missed it, so she scrolled to the end, then back to the front, and then, Lyra had to accept this fact —

She didn't find her own name on the shortlist of the audition winners.

“Oh no, I've failed...”

Lyra showed a bitter smile.

At the same time, the phone rang. It was Chloe.

“Congratulations, Lyra! I knew you could do it!”

“What?” Lyra was terribly confused. “Chloe, did you make a mistake? I didn't see my name on the audition list...”

“What? No, no, no. Refresh the web page.”

Under Chloe's guidance, Lyra pressed the refresh button. She held her breath and scrolled down to the bottom of the page.

Lyra Lowell

Just as Chloe had said, miraculously, her name appeared at the end of the shortlist.

And before that, in Damien's office.

“Ah, I made a mistake.. Although the sender of the email is Chloe Taylor, boss, the name filled in for the applicant is... Lyra Lowell. This person is the real applicant.”

Lyra Lowell.

Damien stood up straight away.

This familiar music style, and —

The prelude had ended, and then came a female voice, there is a strong strength in the stillness of the song.

Damien recognized this voice. Compared with the L.L he knew, the singing skills were a bit more immature.

He had known Lyra for a long time.
