Chapter 228
Jenna scratched her head and pulled out her phone, opening the browser. “Queen Mira, that Leo you just mentioned, which ‘Leo‘ is it?”
“L–E–O.” Mirabella replied without looking up.
Jenna typed the name “Leo” into the search bar, but none of the results matched the singer Queen Mira was talking about. So, she put down her phone and said, “Is this Leo someone you know personally? I couldn’t find him online just now.”
“Hmm, probably not very famous,” Mirabella responded offhandedly.
Hearing this, Jenna remarked, “You know, there are a lot of cover artists out there with amazing voices. They might not be well–known, but their talent is on par with the pros.”
She assumed Mirabella was talking about an undiscovered cover artist.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned cover artist Leo, who lacked fame, suddenly sneezed.
“Caught a cold from all that comfy home–rest, huh?” Collins glanced at Leo while holding some paperwork.
Too comfy? Leo rubbed his itchy nose, feeling a mix of emotions. The constant nagging at home from his parents was hardly comforting.
“Here’s a contract for a reality show live broadcast. Take a look.” Collins handed the paperwork
to Leo.
After a pause, he added, “I think this show is perfect for you. It could dispel the company’s concerns about your health and give you a break from touring.”
Leo’s expression darkened, and without much interest, he tossed the contract onto the coffee table. “You know I never do these kinds of reality shows.”
Seeing Leo’s stubborn attitude, Collins massaged his temples in frustration. “Do you even know who’s directing this show?”
Leo looked away, uninterested.
“It’s the industry’s reality show genius, Walker. Every show he produces is a hit. People are clamoring to get on his shows, and he’s personally inviting you. But you’re telling me you’re not interested?”
At this point, Collins was itching to crack open his artist’s head to see what was going on inside.
“With my current condition, even if I join, it would be a half–hearted effort,” Leo said, obviously annoyed.

“your condition? Aside from avoiding intense physical activity, you’re perfectly fine. You’ve been resting at home for days, and your face has even gotten chubby,” Collins retorted, dismissing Leo’s objections.
Touching his face self–consciously, Leo fell silent.
“Either way, you have to take this gig. No discussion,” Collins said firmly, making the decision.
Leo might not be aware of Walker’s reputation as a top–tier producer, but Collins was, and he was not going to let Leo’s temperament get in the way this time.
Leo looked up at Collins. “Is it a mäst?”
“Yes, I’ve never forced you to join these kinds of shows before, but this time it’s different. Your
need to listen to me.”
After a moment’s silence. Leo finally signed the contract.
Relieved. Collins quickly secured the document, fearing Leo might change his mind. “By the way, the show requires you to bring a family member as your partner, but if there’s no one suitable, a friend will do. I remember your friend Summer gained some popularity after that Celebrity Boot Camp. You could bring her along.”
t made sense to choose someone from the entertainment industry for such shows, to boost.
ewership and create buzz. So, when Collins brought the reality show contract, he had already. considered who would be the best choice for Leo.
