A week had passed since and now Landon and Emma were set to embark on their journey to the UK. As representatives of EchoWaves, a prominent record label, they were on a mission to scout the Local talent that they'll will soon turn into the most successful boy band.

Landon and Emma, the talented talent scout, stood in the airport lounge, sipping their coffee and reviewing their itinerary. They had a meeting scheduled with eaxh of the boys managers and Landon was confident that they could seal the deal.

"Emma, are you ready for this?" Landon asked, his eyes shining with excitement. "We're about to change the music industry."

Emma smiled, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I've been ready for this moment my whole career, Landon. Let's go get them."

With their boarding passes in hand, they made their way to the gate, ready to take on the challenge of a lifetime. The UK awaited, and with it, the opportunity to change the landscape of boy bands. The flight took about 6 hours and 50 minutes. When the pair arrived it was around 1:30 min the morning. Stephan as Landons guard had taken the liberty to organize a rental vehicle before their arrived. The trio made their way to Rosewood hotel in London.

Landon's eyes scanned the Twitter post, a hint of amusement dancing on his lips. "Mhhm...looks like i made the news again," he said, showing his guard the phone.

Stephan raised an eyebrow. "You're quite the celebrity."

Landon chuckled, scrolling through the comments. "Just doing my job, Allan." He responded

As they arrived at the Rosewood hotel, Landon stepped out of the vehicle, his presence drawing subtle attention from the hotel staff. He nodded at Stephan, who efficiently handled the check-in process.

Once in their suite, Landon tossed his jacket onto the couch and walked over to the window, gazing out at the London skyline. "Emma, get some rest. We have a big day ahead of us. I want to make a killer impression tomorrow."

Emma nodded, already heading towards her room. "Will do, Landon. See you in the morning."

Landon's eyes lingered on the city view, his mind already strategizing for the meeting. He was known for his cool-headed approach, but beneath the surface, he was fiercely competitive. With the morning sun finally rising, Landon, Emma and Stephan made thier way to a office they had booked the day for thier meeting with the biys and their representatives.

As the morning sun cast its warm glow over London, Landon, Emma, and Stephan arrived a office they rented, a sleek and modern space that exuded professionalism. Landon, dressed in his suit, exuded confidence as he stepped out of the vehicle.

"Alright, let's get down to business," Landon said, his eyes locked on the office building. "We've got a meeting with all parties combined and their representatives. Our goal is to convince them to join EchoWaves."

Emma nodded, her portfolio clutched tightly in her hands. "I've reviewed their music, Landon. They're talented, but they need the right guidance to reach their full potential."

Landon smiled, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "That's where we come in. Let's show them what EchoWaves can offer."

As they entered the office, the receptionist greeted them warmly and led them to the conference room.

Afew moments later.

The door opened, and Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik walked in, accompanied by their representatives. Landon set quietly in his chair looking at them as they made their way in.

"Good morning, gentlemen," Emma said, her voice smooth and charming. "I'm Emma Ashly, representing EchoWaves. We're excited to discuss potential opportunities with each of you. Thank you for coming. The man beside me Stephan and the one sitted is Landon Asher. The man who actually recommend that we have this meeting."

The meeting had begun, and Landon was ready to showcase his expertise and secure a deal that would change the music industry forever.Landon leaned back in his chair, a confident smile on his face. "Gentlemen, I've been following your work, and I believe you each have tremendous potential. As a artist myself, I understand what it takes to succeed in this industry."

Harry Styles spoke up, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What makes you think I'll be interested in working with EchoWaves, Mr. Asher?"

Landon's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Well, Harry, EchoWaves has a proven track record of nurturing talent and producing chart-topping hits. And as someone who's been in your shoes, I believe I can offer valuable insights and guidance."

Niall Horan nodded thoughtfully. "I've heard great things about EchoWaves. But what specifically are you proposing?"

Emma leaned forward, her portfolio open. "We'd like to discuss potential recording contracts, as well as opportunities for collaboration and exposure. We believe each of you has a unique voice and style that could resonate with a wider audience."

Louis Tomlinson spoke up, his tone curious. "What kind of exposure are we talking about?"

Landon's smile grew wider. "Well, Louis, we have connections with one top producers, promoters, and media outlets. We could help you get your music in front of the right people, and potentially even collaborate with other big artists."

The room fell silent for a moment, as boys exchanged glances. Zayn Malik spoke up, his voice low and thoughtful. "I'm interested. But i need to know what you're looking for in return."

Landon's eyes locked onto Zayn's. "We're looking for talented artists who are willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to their craft. In return, we'll provide the support and resources you need to succeed."

The meeting continued, with Landon and Emma fielding questions and outlining the benefits of working with EchoWaves. As the meeting progressed, each member of the potential group expressed their individual thoughts and concerns.

"I like the idea of collaborating with other artists," Harry said, his eyes lighting up.

"I agree," Niall said, nodding in support.

Louis leaned forward, his tone enthusiastic. "I'm excited about the potential for exposure. How would you propose we get our music out there?"

Landon smiled, his confidence growing. "We have a comprehensive marketing strategy in place. We'd work with you to create a buzz around your music, leveraging our connections in the industry to get your name out there."

Zayn spoke up, his voice measured. "I'm interested in the recording contract aspect. What kind of terms are we looking at?"

Emma pulled out a contract, flipping through the pages. "We've prepared a standard contract that outlines the terms of our proposal. We'd be happy to go over it with you and answer any questions you may have."

Liam, who had been quiet until now, spoke up. "I'd like to know more about the kind of support you'd offer. What kind of resources would we have access to?"

Landon leaned forward, his eyes locked on Liam's. "We'd provide access to top-notch producers, studios, and marketing teams. We'd work closely with you to develop your individual styles and help you grow as artists."

The discussion continued, with each member of the potential group asking questions and seeking clarification on various aspects of the proposal. As the meeting drew to a close, Landon handed each of the potential artists a copy of the contract. They began to flip through the pages, their expressions changing from interest to shock as they read the terms.

"Wait, what's this?" Harry asked, his brow furrowed. "It says here that we'd be forming a group, a boy band, and performing together?"

Niall's eyes widened in surprise. "I hadn't realized that's what this was about. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that."

Louis looked stunned. "A boy band? I don't know if that's really what I want to do."

Zayn's expression turned skeptical. "This seems like a lot of compromise on our part. I'd want to know more about how this would work."

Liam's face fell. "I don't know if I'm ready to commit to a group like that. I'd need some time to think about it."

Landon, anticipating their reaction, remained calm and composed. "I understand your concerns, but trust me, this is the right move. The concept of boy bands is tried and true. It's a formula that works, and with the right talent and guidance, you could be huge."

He leaned forward, his eyes locking onto each of theirs. "I'm not asking you to blindly follow me, but I am asking you to trust my expertise. I'm known as a genius in the music industry for a reason, and I know what it takes to make it big."

Landon's voice took on a persuasive tone. "All I'm asking is that you believe in us. Let us guide you, and we'll show you what we're capable of. Together, we can achieve greatness."

The room fell silent, each of the potential artists weighing their options. Would they take a chance on Landon and EchoWaves, or would they forge their own paths?

Landon leaned back in his chair, a confident smile on his face. "I understand that this is a lot to take in, and I respect your need for time to think. I'll be in the office from tomorrow, Tuesday, to Friday, between 13:00 and 17:00. If you're serious about working with EchoWaves, I expect to see the signed contract within that timeframe."

He paused, his eyes locking onto each of theirs. "As someone who's been in a band before, I can vouch that this formula works. My solo debut album, released just two months ago, has already achieved remarkable success. Two of my songs have gone diamond, and the album itself has gone triple platinum. I'm not bragging, I'm just stating facts."

Landon's voice took on a persuasive tone. "If you're serious about making a splash in the music industry, you need to consider what EchoWaves is offering you. The chance to work with a proven track record, under the guidance of someone who knows what it takes to succeed. I'm not just talking about signing a contract; I'm talking about joining a winning team."

He leaned forward, his eyes burning with intensity. "So, I urge you to think carefully about this opportunity. If you're willing to take a chance on yourself and on EchoWaves, we'll be here, ready to help you achieve greatness."
