Chapter 210 - 208: Band And Contracts II
Seeing Charlton\'s brows furrow, Edward could only awkwardly chuckle and explain, "Not all of them are nobles, some of the common folks also have talent so I placed them there too."
Charlton nodded, "I do understand that you\'re running a business, so I see where you\'re coming from. I just looked through the sheet music, but I think I would need more time to decide."
"Okay, do you have a timeline on when you would wish to start working with the people you choose? I mean I\'m not rushing you, but just so that I have an idea."
"Well, I\'m actually done working on the sheet music of Serena\'s songs, but things are still busy in school and there\'s also the contracts which I need to look into. Perhaps after the signing event I can work with 1, but I would need to leave on the last week of June."
Edward gave him a knowing smile, "off to Militeia?"
Charlton did not answer precisely but just gave him a smile back.
"Anyway, just one last thing, I don\'t want to hinder your creativity by just working with other people. I know you can also write songs of your own and if you have any that you wish to sign with me, then please."
Charlton shook his head as he chortled. "You don\'t have to sound like that\'s just pure suggestion. I know that I should really produce one song of my own which I wrote for my credibility."
Edward laughed, "You said that, not me."
"Don\'t worry, I am also working on that one."

After a few more minutes of chatting, the two went back to the studio. Inside, they saw the three who were sitting around the table discussing.
"Boss Edward, Producer Daniel, you\'re back. We have tried playing the song and, I hope you don\'t mind, me adding some extra percussion notes for the drums. Though I must say Producer Daniel, that this song is one of the, if not the best song I have ever encountered. It\'s very unique in a very good way and have ignited my passion as a drummer. Ah… sorry for babbling." Richmond gushed.
Charlton and the others chuckled, "No worries. To tell you the truth, the lyrics and melody were created by Lady Serena. This is a song she made, and my only credit is the sheet music and the harmony."
"Wow. I always thought that Lady Maxwell\'s work were very very good. But I did not expect that it would even get better. She\'s really the goddess of music." Richmond commented.
"She was my idol before, but now I think that, no, I am now her devotee." Willy seconded.
"Will Lady Maxwell will come here later to sing the song?" Jerome asked, his face all red.
Edward coughed, looking at Charlton, seeing him not reacting negatively, he said, "Well, if the work you came up with is passable, you will get to work with her later too. Anyway, perhaps you can start now."
Charlton just smiled. He knew that Serena was very popular, so he did not feel jealous over these people idolizing and admiring her. Instead, he felt proud. He nodded his head at them signaling that they may leave.
The 3 went to the room for the instruments. Richmond sat behind the drums, Jerome sat in front of the piano, while Willy took the guitar. Then they began playing the instrumental for \'nothing\'s gonna stop us now.\'

"So, what can you say?"?Edward asked as they listened to the 3 while in the control room.
Charlton nodded, "Pretty good. My job will become easier in the future working with these people."
"Ha! I told you so. Anyway, I will leave you guys alone now. Want to have lunch later?"
"No, thank you. I can\'t stay for long. I will be leaving before noon."
Edward looked at the time, 10:30. "Will you be coming over next week?"
Charlton shook his head, "I will come here the week after next. I will also ask Serena to come along to see if we can start recording the two songs."
"Good idea, we need to record it as soon as possible so that come your signing event, we\'re more than ready to do a mass release. I can only lament the fact that production is not quick enough. Anyway, I won\'t be able to see you off later."
"It\'s okay. Thanks for accompanying me today."
Edward chuckled. They both knew that he would only join for the recording itself in the future. "Alright then, it was nice seeing you today."
"It was nice seeing you too." Then, Edward left the studio.

Although the output of the 3 was better than Charlton anticipated, hearing them play the instruments together gave him new ideas for improving the harmony.
When he went inside, he praised the 3 first. After, he made new suggestions and gave them additional instructions. The three listened and tried everything he said out.
In the end, the 3 can only be astonished with Charlton\'s brilliance. The improvements that he came up with in such a short time was much much better. They were already proud of their work improving on the sheet music, but deym. Now they understand why Charlton was the producer. He was so good at turning gold into platinum.
"Anyway, I think we\'re done for this song now. I also have with me another sheet music, and this time, there\'s no need for drums. You three figure it out and try to improve this first. You can continue to come in this studio so that no one else will hear the songs, but I won\'t be joining you. The week after the next, I will meet you here, Saturday, same time, with Lady Serena in tow. We can record the first song, then after that, we can work on this one. If time permits, we can record it on the same day too." Charlton explained, it was now 11:30 and he can\'t wait to leave. Serena was waiting for him, and he estimated that by the time he gets to their place, it would already be at least a quarter pass noon.
"Understood. Thank you, Producer Daniel. We won\'t let you down." The three expressed.
Charlton smiled and nodded. "I expect nothing less. Anyway, I\'ll go ahead. It\'s nice meeting the 3 of you and I\'m looking forward to continue working with you guys in the future."
