“Slater, you’ve been an advocate of anti–bullying and you talked about how hard it is to admit about it. How did you get past that fear and use your platform to spread awareness?”

The host smiled beautifully as she stared at the striking beauty before her. She had interviewed countless celebrities and well–known personalities. But Slater surely made it to the top of her list of the most good–looking celebrities in this generation.

Not only did he have a godly beauty even more beautiful than female celebrities – but he was also talented. Slater always dominated the worldwide charts whenever he dropped a track, and even the movies he participated in were blockbusters.

“It’s not easy at first,” Slater smacked his lips. “But because I had a little sister, I want to be someone whom she could see as someone she could depend on.”

The interviewer smiled in satisfaction. “What a nice big brother”

“Haha. Slater’s laughter immediately melted the hearts of the ladies behind the scenes. His laughter sounded like that of an angel. “I am just hopeful that with my cause, many more will stand up and raise their voice. Bullying happens not just in school, but also, even as adults and in offices and everywhere on Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He paused and smiled gracefully, “Giving out kindness is free, so I am hopeful my songs and my cause will reach out to those who need it. That is what my album is about. Slater professionally got into the main purpose of this interview and promoted his music.

After half an hour, the interview ended on a good note.

“Thank you, Mr. Slater, for accepting our invitation” the host reached out her hand, which Slater clasped mildly.

“No, thank you for having me. Slater smiled humbly and timely released the host’s hand.

More people surrounded Slater to thank him for coming before Slater’s staff found a way to get him out of the situation. Despite that, Slater kept a kind smile and greeted back everyone who greeted him. Even outside the station, fans were waiting for him.

As soon as he stepped out, squeals and roars from the fans thundered.

“Hehe. Slater waved and stopped instead of getting straight into his van.

“Slater.”

Slater glanced at his manager and said, “Wait.”

And with that, he jogged to the lines of guards to come close to his fans. When he did, the squeals of his fans sounded wilder. He gave some quick high–fives and posed for some pictures. He even generously signed some for autographs before bidding them farewell.

SLAM!

disappeared as he sighed in exhaustion.

“Tsk! You didn’t have to do all that fan service!” James, the same James who used to be Slater’s bully’s lookout, nagged. He handed Slater a bottle of water and continued. “I know you’re working hard, but you also have to think about your future!”

Slater accepted the bottled water and glanced at him. “But I need to promote my music and beat. my previous record.”

“Haist!” James ruffled his head in irritation. “The presale already broke the previous record. If you do more, then I’m afraid we’ll have a hard time breaking it next time!”

“Give me some slack. Slater shook his head and rested after drinking a mouthful of water.

He rested his elbow on the window and propped his jaw against the bottom of his palm, eyes on the window. Meanwhile, James continued to nag him like a mother before telling him about

Slater’s next schedule.

“So, there’s three more you need to do today,” James finished, stopping as he noticed Slater didn’t seem like he was listening. “What? Don’t tell me you don’t feel well now. Slater, we’re at the promotional stage. We have to promote the album.”

“Did my brother reply to me?” Slater asked without giving James a look.

“Oh… no he hadn’t.“‘

“Why?”

Slater frowned before he cast James a look. “James, after this promotion, I’ll rest.”

“Huh? Why are you resting? You still have a cameo in another film.”

“Forget it. Cancel it.”

“Wha- what? But why?! You’re the one who wanted to do this!”

“I want to visit Penny Slater frowned as his mood quickly declined. “She already missed two of my albums because she’s too busy! She hadn’t even congratulated me properly for all my albums! I need to see if she’s still alive since she rarely calls now!”

Ever since five years ago, Penny had been more busy than ever. Her excuse was understandable, but at the same time, Slater missed her every single day since then. For some reason, after releasing his album, he missed her the most. After all, he wrote and even added a track

dedicated to her.

Hearing his sentiments, James sighed. “I also miss Penny”

“Let’s visit her,” Slater urged. The last time I saw her was five years ago. I’m worried she won’t recognize me anymore! I’ve become too handsome and taller! I’m even taller than First Brother

now” 2

James sighed. “Fine,” he said. “Since it’s Penny, I’ll see what I can do.

“Hehe. Good thing my manager is also the president of the entertainment agency I signed,” Slater giggled mischievously, making James glare at him.

“Is this the reason you

owner of the agency, so you can manipulate me?” @

“James, did my sister forgive you already?!”

James’s breath hitched. “Not this again!”

As Slater slowly regained his positive mood at the mere idea of visiting his beloved cute sister, James felt his phone vibrate. He checked it and furrowed his brows.

“I wonder if Penny gained more weight?” Slater muttered with a giggle. “She’s still chubby when I last saw her.”

Although Penny wasn’t as plump as she was when she was thirteen, her shape was still a little round. In Slater’s eyes, she only grew taller a bit, but her face as the thirteen–year–old was still

the same.

“Uh.. Slater?”

“Hmm?”

“Your First Brother is calling.”

Slater snapped his eyes at James and intuitively took the phone from the latter. “First Brother…” he trailed off when Atlas spoke, making Slater’s eyes slowly go wide.

“I don’t care

Comment “econd Brother. But, did you just say she’s… she’s coming home?”
