Keira's eyes widened in shock when she realized that the man who collided with her was Lucian himself. The man she had been waiting for and looking for was coming towards her on his own.
Their blue eyes met each other, as if implying something between them.
Her face began to blush when she saw his charming smile. But he immediately roused herself and positioned her body to stand straight before him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you!" she said rather frantically.
Her heart was beating very fast, because this was the first time she actually saw his face up close. She never imagined something like this would happen, let alone being confronted with a handsome and talented man like Lucian.
'Damn, my heart is beating so fast. I don't know what to say to him. It feels like my mind is going blank!' she thought at the time.
"What are you doing here? I don't remember there being a staff like you here. Or maybe you're a new employee?" he asked.
"Oh no!" She said, waving his hand. "I'm not here but I'm one of your fans! I got lost, that's why I'm here. What a coincidence to meet you!"
"Ahahaha... I see. No wonder your face is so cute," Lucian said as he gently rubbed Keira's cheek with his thumb in one stroke.
Her face was getting redder, just like the color of her hair right now because of his touch. Her heart was beating faster and faster, Keira felt that she might have a heart attack if it continued like this.
She even forgot what she wanted to say to him. There was silence between the two of them as they stared at each other.
Not long after, a man wearing a black suit walked up to them. He was Lucian's manager, Marco Santos.
"What are you doing here? You should have been out there because they've been waiting for you!" Marco said, reminding Lucian that his fans had been waiting for them. Moreover, they were late to arrive.
"Oh right, I have to go." The blond haired man then turned to Keira and spoke again. "Then I'll see you again. It was a very interesting first meeting, and maybe we'll meet again next time."
Before leaving, he gave a wink that left Keira rooted to the spot and noticed that Lucian and his manager were coming out of the door where she had entered earlier.
The happy feeling in her chest right now was hard to describe. But she knew it was love at first sight. Not through the TV screen but with her eyes.
Especially with his words saying that they would definitely meet again next time, it seemed to make Keira get a hope for that.
After waking up from her reverie, she left the place and went back to see her best friend, Ruby.
"You're finally back. I was worried that security would catch you. Because I saw Lucian and his manager already out there, but you didn't come back yet," Ruby said with relief.
Keira was silent for a moment and then she grabbed Ruby by both shoulders. "My best friend Ruby, will you continue to support me if I eventually fall in love with someone?" she asked in a very poetic and dramatic tone.
It actually made Ruby feel astonished. What was wrong with Keira?
"As a good friend, I will definitely continue to support you. But who is this guy who made you like this all of a sudden?"
Keira was silent for a moment before she finally answered. "Lucian."
Ruby seemed to have guessed what she was going to say, but she still let out a tired sigh when she heard it. She then turned Keira's body to look at Lucian's fans.
"My dear Keira. You see all those people? They're just as in love with him. So don't think that your feelings are something special for an actor like him!" Ruby said trying to get Keira's attention.
However, Keira was adamant that this was no ordinary love but something different. And she was determined to fight for her love.
*****
In the days since she met Lucian in person, Keira couldn't let go of the memory of the two of them looking into each other's eyes.
A singer songwriter herself, she started writing a short song that she eventually sang and posted on her own social media.
"Should I tag him or not? I made this song for him. From that day's meeting, I can't forget the look in his eyes," she murmured.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to tag Lucian's social media. Hoping to get a positive feedback from him.
And sure enough, Lucian replied to the video when he heard Keira's song. He even made a little arrangement of the song Keira made. Like correcting the song a bit and making it much better than before.
"What a beautiful song. I love it so much, Keira. I can't wait for your other works," Lucian commented after listening to the song and he replied with a short video that he uploaded on his personal social media.
This was immediately noticed by a lot of people because of Lucian's huge following. Within 7 days Keira's social media accounts were flooded with likes and followers, as they started liking her songs too.
They began to recognize Keira who was a newcomer to the music world. She made a name for herself when she and Lucian exchanged short videos.
"Keira, look, your video that previously only got 500 likes at most, now you get more than 20k likes every day!" Ruby said happily when she saw her friend's success.
People began to recognize her songs, leading Keira to get several offers to sing her songs. Her YouTube followers have even reached 2 million because of her success.
Keira's initial intention was just to get attention from Lucian, but she didn't expect that she would be flooded with fans because of this.
However, this also makes her so happy because Lucian is so responsive to the videos she makes for him. Some people even think that their closeness, which is just replying to each other's short videos, is like a perfect match.

You make songs and Lucian fixes them. Don't you two complement each other?
[BigGirl210]
I agree with that! Could it be that they're secretly seeing each other and dating?
There started to be a lot of comments about their relationship. Saying that maybe they've been secretly dating behind the fans' backs.
And maybe those short videos were a sign to the fans about their closeness. There were more and more fans matching Lucian and Keira. Shipper fans even edited photos of them together.
"They love it... They even edited a picture of me together with Lucian. I wonder what his reaction will be like now. Is it possible that he's also feeling the palpitations that I'm feeling right now?" asked Keira when she saw all these things.
It would be a lie if she didn't enjoy what was happening around her at the moment, until suddenly a notification came to her phone.
It turned out that a message had arrived in her business email and it was from Lucian's manager.
"An invitation to... Cooperate?!"
