Chapter 89 [Bonus ] 89 - The vlog is going very well!

Selena was shocked when she looked at her phone.

Tonight alone, she had already received more than 4 emails from clients interested in hiring Noah to sing at their wedding!

Unfortunately, most of these weddings were on the other side of the country, making it impossible for her or the client to fly Noah and his team to the venue, so she had to decline almost all of them.

But there was one email from a neighboring city that Selena thought might be possible.

When she contacted the client and told them about the slightly higher cost of hotel and lodging, even though Noah was only a Rank E artist, the client accepted it and didn't mind paying a little more.

The total she was able to negotiate for this gig was $3,000 for a two-hour show!

Even remembering that Noah wanted to hire a backing band for the next few shows so he wouldn't get so tired singing alone on stage at weddings, Selena realized that this money would make it possible even if they took a band with them.

The only thing that confused her was why so many emails had suddenly arrived.

Wondering where these people could be coming from, Selena opened BlackVelvet's channel and saw that Noah had posted the vlog of the video they recorded at the last wedding they attended.

In just a few hours, Noah's video had nearly 50,000 views, leaving Selena completely shocked.

"How does this kid have such a talent for making things work?" She wondered in a low voice as she lay down on her bed with her white legs dangling up.

Since she was at home, Selena wasn't wearing the formal clothes she always wore, now just a thin, light pink dress that she wore to bed.

"He manages to learn how to act on stage very easily, he manages to learn new instruments very easily, he manages to learn how to sing better and better with more and more ease, he manages to learn how to draw and make animations all by himself, he even manages to learn how to edit videos and become a successful MeTuber all by himself... how can someone be so talented?" she asked herself as she opened his Instabram out of curiosity to see what he was posting.

Selena's curiosity for Noah had been piqued since the day she first saw him sing on stage, and since then her curiosity for him had only grown with each day she discovered something new he could do.

Looking at his Instagram, she thought he would just post photos of himself or something banal like other artists, but the reality was completely different.

If she hadn't known that Noah worked alone with his social media, she would have been sure that he had a team of people taking care of it for him, but that only made it more fascinating to her.

There were several different stories on his Instagram, both stories about his workout routine, him answering some questions, posts about the new song to generate engagement and hype, as well as him promoting today's vlog and answering questions about the vlog.

All of this was probably done by him while he was at home doing various other things without her knowing.

And in the middle of all that he still finds time to study another language...' Selena shook her head, not knowing what to do.

Thinking about what Noah looked like when she first met him, what he looked like a few months before she met him, from a photo he showed her, and what he looked like now, while watching the vlog he posted today, made Selena blush.

'It's hard to maintain self-control around him...' She thought, frustrated that she found it so difficult to maintain professionalism with her client when he was so handsome, cool and interesting.

If it weren't for his age and the fact that he was my client... I might even try something... but in a work environment it's best to keep it professional, I don't want my potential gold mine to be ruined because of some argument we might have in the future...' she thought frustratedly. She thought a little frustrated as she looked at the screen of her phone.

Especially when she saw how handsome he looked and how well he suited her in that suit...

'So he's totally my type...' She thought even more frustrated...

- Noah's POV -

Looking at the number of views of my second vlog, it was hard to hide the big smile on my face.

But unlike my first vlog, which my mom just watched and complimented me on how cool it was, now that she was slowly learning how to edit for her videos, she came up to me and asked me so many questions about this vlog, about how I did such and such a thing and why I did it, that we spent a good 30 minutes talking while I explained and taught her many of the techniques I used in the video.

When she was done asking about these technical details, she finally gave me her honest reaction to the video, which was that she was very happy and proud of the beautiful song I'd created and how nice it was to see the bride and groom moved by it, even though she'd already known the song while I was practicing at home.

Liv's reaction was similar to my mother's, but without the technical questions focused on editing, but with technical questions focused on how I dealt with the audience and things like that, since she never realized it was so important.

After another session of answering and explaining how to deal with the public, Ethan also came to tell me that my video was very nice, but finally someone came to praise the video without asking technical questions.

Even my dad sent me a message on his cell phone saying that he had watched the video at work with his colleagues and that everyone really liked my video.

He even said that there was a colleague at work who wanted to introduce me to his daughter, but I just laughed and denied it.

Honestly, with the amount of messages I was getting on Instabram from very beautiful girls who were interested in me, it was getting very hard to resist, but I knew I couldn't ever fall for that temptation.

Even though I saw these girls who never paid any attention to the old Noah, or girls who were even out of my league in my old world, treating me like I was superior and they wanted my attention, I had to control myself and not let my head think higher than my head.

That tattooed girl who used to send me pictures in lingerie still sends me messages to this day, often with pictures of her in different lingerie and in more and more seductive positions, but that's exactly why I couldn't fall for it.

If these girls were really so intent on winning me over that they would send pictures like that to someone who never responded, how could I trust that I was the only one or that it wasn't done with ulterior motives?

Seeing these photos on my cell phone was something I'd never had access to so easily in my life, so it was something new I was learning to deal with, but over time I finally got used to it.

Whereas the first time I got a photo like that I was extremely tempted, now I just saw it as something that was slightly tempting that didn't affect me as much.

I think my mind was finally getting used to it and not taking it so much for granted.

It was good not to act like an animal when I saw something slightly attractive and tempting.

I didn't want to be the kind of artist who got involved with a lot of selfish girls, had children with girls I didn't love just because one of them sabotaged the condom or something, and then had to raise a child who probably wouldn't have the structured family that child deserves.

Even if it took me a while to find my partner, eventually I would find her, and then it would be the right time for me.

Maybe in the future I'll pick someone up at a party? It's possible, because I won't be a virgin until I get married, but when that happens, I'll take as much care and responsibility as I can.

With that settled in my mind, I smiled as I grinned at the video's likes and dislikes.

The video had an incredible 51,000 views, 9,200 likes, and only 71 unlikes, which was a very good rate.

I know it's impossible to please everyone, so the 71 unlikes didn't bother me.

If that number had been 10 times higher, I might have worried that something was wrong, but with only 1 unlike for every 718 likes, that was more than enough approval!

So, to enjoy the rest of the evening, I started answering the comments on the vlog.

[I didn't know it was so important to have plans for how to get the audience excited!]

[Now I know why there are shows that are so good and shows that are so bad, and apparently both shows are the same!]

[How nice it must be to go to a Black Velvet concert...]

[The song at the end was so beautiful...]

[I got very emotional listening to that song...]

[Thanks for posting this vlog tonight BlackVelvet, I needed a video to go to sleep].

[How did you learn so much about dealing with the public?]

Surprisingly, looking at who made that last comment, the one who posted it was a singer who was at the top of rank D, almost reaching rank C!
