Upon arriving at Mason Academy, a tutor named Ms. Layna was waiting for the two.

Harrison helped Carrie settle in her room, which was a nice single dormitory.

As for Harrison himself, he planned to book a suite in the hotel across the street.

Layna was quite surprised at the arrival of Carrie’s boss, Harrison.

It was rare for an artist to come for training accompanied by their boss personally.

Upon hearing that this boss was also an amazing music producer, Layna became even more astonished.

She rolled her eyes and said, “Tomorrow, there will be a party hosted by the Grammy judges in Beverly Hills. I have an invitation for Ms. Thomas, the creator of Self-Combustion, to attend. However, I also have a private invitation for a male companion to accompany me. Mr. Clark, would you be available?” Harrison considered it for three seconds and nodded, “Sure.”

He agreed, leaving Carrie beside him, who wanted to say something but hesitated.

The group chatted for a while, and the forty-something-year-old tutor took her leave. Before leaving, she exchanged numbers with Harrison and even cast a flirtatious glance. If Harrison had a Twitter account, she would probably want to add him as well.

After that, the tutor left with a swaying walk.

Although she was not young, she maintained her figure quite well and did not look old.

In this country, upper-middle-class people like her, especially beautiful women, had strict self-management when it came to body and appearance. Carrie spat lightly.

She was indeed having a hard time adapting to the openness of the people here. “Do you want to go to the party?” Carrie asked.

Harrison nodded, “The Grammy Awards are well-known worldwide. Those invited to such small-scale parties, besides judges and committee members, should be well-known singers or producers here with fairly high status. Making more connections with such people can benefit our company and be an opportunity for us to expand our influence.”

“Alright then. But when you go in with her, you have to stay with me afterward.”

Harrison nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t give those playboys a chance to flirt with you.”

Carrie smiled sweetly.

Actually, she didn’t want to go, but since Harrison had agreed, she felt uneasy if she didn’t go herself.

After all, in her mind, Harrison’s creative ability was too astonishing.

Once people knew his identity and creative skills, Harrison would instantly become a walking hormone.

Under the relatively conservative domestic environment, even the emerging female artists couldn’t resist his “charm,” let alone the more open atmosphere of Europe and America.

So Carrie wanted to keep an eye on him for everyone’s sake and prevent him from getting lost in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

Yes.

But instead, he said he would keep an eye on her, making Carrie feel very good.

As the Grammy Awards, known as the most prestigious music awards globally, had an influence that extended beyond the European and American music industry.

Many Chinese singers and movie stars yearned for the Grammy Awards and admired them.

Even if they could only manage a seat in the back row of the award ceremony, these Chinese stars would hire photographers at their own expense, purchase some well-angled photos for thousands of dollars apiece, have them retouched, and then distribute them all over the Internet.

Or, if they weren’t even qualified to attend the award ceremony, they might find a corner of a crowd, put on a popular pose, wear rented dresses, take some gorgeous photos, and then add a title like “XX Invited to the Grammy Awards, Outshining Everyone, Not Losing to Madonna” and so on.

This was a symbol of status and level.

Even if it was just taking advantage of the event, they had to take advantage of it.

However, only large-scale award ceremonies could be taken advantage of; high-status small-scale parties like this would not invite people without enough status.

After all, people called it a party, and its purpose was still to socialize and expand contacts.

Useless contacts were a waste of life, even if people talked to you.

Just like Harrison, a newly emerging music producer who was in the prime stage of inspiration, was genuinely high-quality contact that everyone wanted. Harrison himself didn’t think much of it and continued with his usual routine. The next day, he and Carrie went shopping for some high-end clothes. They took the same African American driver and visited the Staples Center to watch a Lakers game and several other attractions.

It wasn’t until the party time was approaching, and the female tutor called to urge them that the couple asked the driver to turn around and head towards Beverly Hills.

The tutor recommended, “You only have an hour and a half before five in the afternoon, and LA traffic during rush hour can be very congested. There’s a private helicopter rental company within five kilometers of your location. It would be best to take a helicopter to Beverly, and you should be there in about 40 minutes.”

Carrie seemed tempted, but Harrison immediately declined, “No thanks. I don’t like helicopters.”

The other party said, “Well, you’ll be late! At least an hour late!”

Harrison countered, “Would being late mean we can’t go in? If that’s the case, then there’s nothing we can do.”

“No, it’s just that I have some friends coming over who want to talk to you more. As you know, everyone’s time is tight, and their schedules are very busy.” Harrison said, “Ms. Layna, I understand your feelings and appreciate your recommendation. But I don’t need to force myself to do things I don’t like to accommodate other people’s schedules. If it’s unnecessary, I really wouldn’t want to take a helicopter. We didn’t manage our time properly, and it’s our responsibility. I apologize to you, and I’m willing to bear the consequences. If it’s really inconvenient, we won’t go. I’m truly sorry….”
