”Thanks for coming to pick me up,” Marcel said to Mark as he went into the van.

”It's no problem,” Mark answered as he drove away from Marcel's apartment. Two days had passed since his audition and they confirmed his participation earlier that day. He received a call from Damien earlier that day and was asked to go to the company. That was why Mark was there to pick him up.

He arrived at the company ten minutes later and was relieved to see that there was no crowd outside the building. It seemed like all the popular people were not around that day.

Marcel went to the elevators and went to the top floor. Damien's secretary made eye contact with him the minute he walked into the office.

”He's been waiting for you, you can go in,” she said before resuming her work. Marcel knocked on Damien's door and only went in after he heard him respond on the other side.

”Good morning Mr. Matteo,” Marcel greeted after closing the door behind him.

”Mmh, good morning, sit down,” Damien said after he briefly glanced at him. Marcel went to sit on one of the chairs in front of the large desk and patiently waited for Damien to finish what he was doing.

”Okay, so I have talked to my lawyers,” Damien said after ten minutes of silence. As he arranged the documents he was done with into one pile on his right and removed his glasses.

”Really?” Marcel asked with his eyes lighting up with excitement.

”Mmmh, they said it wouldn't be a problem taking Liam in and the process would just take a few days,” Damien said as he studied Marcel's expression.

”That's great news, so when do you think I'll be able to go pick him up?” Marcel asked, his voice filled with excitement.

”In about two days,” Damien said as he continued to observe Marcel.

”Ah- Really?” Marcel asked with a smile that was so wide that the two small dimples on the corners of his lips made an appearance.

”Yes,” Damien answered.

”Then I'll have to go pick him up,” Marcel mumbled to himself as he started making plans.

”You'll be filming,” Damien said and instantly burst his bubble. Marcel looked like someone had just splashed cold water over his head.

”Right, what do I do?” Marcel asked himself in half confusion.

”I have a suggestion,” Damien said as he leaned on the back of his comfortable office chair.

”What is it?” Marcel asked.

”You can enrol him in a boarding school,” Damien said as he carefully looked at him.

”What?” Marcel asked with a frown.

”This won't be the last job that will require you to stay away from home over a long period of time. I know I offered to stay with him but I can't keep him around for more than one or two days as I also have a busy schedule unless you want to get him a nanny but your popularity is expected to increase so this option is also a bit complicated,” Damien said as he rhythmically hit his pen against his desk in though.

\u003cIs this workable? \u003e Marcel asked Avian because he was out of his element. He had never even heard of the concept of a boarding school before.

[Depending on where he is sent it should be. You won't have to worry about his whereabouts and as long as he had a pleasant relationship with his classmates he should have a smooth life there.] Avian answered.

”Do you have any suggestions?” Marcel asked Damien, he didn't believe that he didn't have his own suggestions.

”Larien,” Damien said.

[Larien School of the Elite] Avian answered.
