Suddenly, there were quick knocks on the office door, and you could tell it was an urgent matter by the rhythm of the knocks.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and in walked the secretary, carrying a laptop and a troubled expression on favonovel.com face.
Donell Cedar was not pleased. “What’s wrong? You look like you just saw a ghost. It’s a big day today, don’t ruin it for me.”
The secretary approached him, placed the laptop on the desk and said, “I hate to inform you, Mr. Cedar, but something big has happened.”
“What happened?”
“Ah, I’ m not sure how to explain it. Please have a look at the new song’s online comments.”
Donell Cedar took over the laptop in doubt, Flora Fiore and Jude Dunkley also walked over curiously, as they all peered over to see what exactly was happening. They scrolled to an influencer’s analysis post.
It was simple. The song’s lyrics were simple because they were acrostic lyrics containing homophones.
There were 24 lines in total, and if you take out the first word from each line it would form: ‘Entertainment For Entertainment The Owns Is The Stealing Remembrance Stupid Copyright And Arts To This Cultural Scott’s For Song Shameless Lyrics The And Hegemony’.
Donell Cedar furrowed his eyebrows, as the 24 words did not make a reasonable sentence and favonovel.com could not find any mistakes in the lyrics. But favonovel.com continued to read.
The influencer rearranged the 24 hidden words in the lyrics and placed them together to form this: ‘Scott‘s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment Owns The Copyright To This Song. And Hegemony Entertainment Is Shameless And Stupid For Stealing The Song And Lyrics’.
“…”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and not a single person spoke.
The tables have been turned!
Donell Cedar’s face was as red as a pig’s liver, and favonovel.com was so furious that favonovel.com felt like spitting out blood.
“Bastard, Bastard, Bastard!”
“Thomas Mayo, how dare you freaking trick me?!”
Only then did favonovel.com comprehend why stealing their lyrics the second time had been so successful.
Logically, Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment would be on guard following the first theft, as it was impossible to make the same mistake again. But it had been very easy for the insider to strike again.
Donell Cedar was too naive, favonovel.com really disregarded Thomas Mayo’s abilities and assumed he’d make the same mistake twice. The truth is, it was a trick within a trick.
Didn’t you enjoy stealing? Then I’ll put it on display for you to grab.
Pity Donell Cedar. He truly believed favonovel.com had stolen a real gem, and spent a lot of manpower, resources, and money to publish the song and lyrics, and get it to the top of all the music streaming platforms.
He regretted it so much favonovel.com felt like dying. It was still fine if they blew their money, but most importantly their reputation had now been destroyed!
He had been beaming when favonovel.com saw that “Old Days” was ranked top on all popular music charts, with the streams skyrocketing. But now, favonovel.com could not wait to have the song removed instantly from all streaming platforms.
Humiliating. This is truly humiliating!
“What are you doing standing there? Quickly discuss a plan with the PR Department. Also, immediately remove this song from all streaming platforms, right now!” Donell Cedar roared.
The secretary was alarmed, “But we just spent a lot of money on buying the sales and manipulating the charts. Wouldn’t we be losing money if we take the song down?”
Donell Cedar was panicking. “Do I still f*cking care about the money? If this stupid song stays on the charts for another second, our Hegemony Entertainment will be laughed at for another second more.”
“Ruined, Hegemony’s reputation is totally ruined! Hurry up, stop talking. Just go take the damned song down!”
