Chapter 176  [Bonus Chapter] 176 - Good news!

[Hey Noah!] Laura greeted me with the animated voice she almost always used when talking to me.

"Hey Laura, what's up!" I replied with a smile that quickly spread across my face, infected by her excitement as well.

[I just watched your vlog, it was really cool! If you'd let me know that you were going to do a show and spread the word about the orphanage, I could come and help you, considering how much I've made from my part in the Duncan Family and how much you've been responsible for helping me with it, it would be nice to help others too...]. She said a little angrily that I hadn't called her.

"Haha, I decided this at the last minute, you haven't even seen the vlog I'm releasing next week, delivering a trailer full of presents to the kids." I laughed.

[Gosh, you have to warn me more about these things... I want to help too...] She complained.

"All right, next time I'll let you know so you can come and help, okay?" I asked.

[Okaay!] She laughed.

"Did you just call me to complain that I didn't call you?" I asked suspiciously.

[Ohh! I'm glad you reminded me, I called you to tell you some great news]. She said with a mysterious voice.

"Great news?" I asked confused. I asked confused. "Is it about Jack?"

[Yes!!! With every vlog you post, your name gets more and more talked about, so the show's popularity grows along with your name because of Jack, even more so since "Up, Down" reached 800k views, this is also a form of indirect promotion for the show, which made some people complain about Jack not appearing in this week's episode]. Laura said excitedly.

It surprised me, I knew people liked Jack, but I didn't think they liked him that much!

"Don't tell me Angelina was influenced by those comments to put me on the show more often?" I asked suspiciously.

[I don't think so...] She said thoughtfully. [It's more like she got curious about your character and decided to do a fishing episode in the next episode to see how that dynamic would play out, so you can imagine what's going to happen, right?]

When I heard that, I quickly understood: "A fishing episode without Steve and Jack wouldn't be a fishing episode!"

[Yes, Phil was excited to record this new episode with you guys. Apparently Angelina was inspired by the music you made and managed to come up with a fishing episode last week. This is an episode that wasn't even in the original script, so congratulations, you single-handedly changed the script of the season!"] She laughed.

"Not on my own!" I complained. "If it hadn't been for that impromptu line Phil said, I wouldn't have been inspired to sing that song on the spot!"

[Yeah, yeah, whatever you say...] She scoffed, which made me laugh.

After that, we just started chatting about some school stuff, talking about my show, how she felt about acting without me on set to help her.

Our phone call lasted over an hour.

These long calls were becoming more and more common between us, something that both Laura and I noticed but didn't worry about.

I realized that I was developing a more than friendship relationship with Laura, just as I had developed my more than professional relationship with Selena.

But something I had in common with both of them was that we were not in a hurry to find out what was going on.

Neither were they desperate to know how we were going to act together, nor was I desperate to know how it was all going to play out and what I wanted out of relationships. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I just lived one moment at a time and left it to the future Noah to decipher.

Even though I had doubts about who I would be in a relationship with, I just decided to leave it to chance and let fate take its course.

After the call with Laura ended, Selena called me shortly after to let me know that Angelina wanted me on set this week to tape my participation in the fishing episode, where we not only talked about my video, acting, the shows, but also a little bit about our personal lives.

Unlike Laura, who had a lot in common to talk about, Selena and I didn't have so many different topics, but we just had a chill conversation.

By the next day, the vlog I posted about the orphanage concert had more than 300,000 views, and the number of views was still growing.

From the views of that video alone, the channel had already raised more than $2,000 for me to donate to the orphanage, and at the rate those views were climbing, that amount would only continue to skyrocket.

Not to mention how much the song would make on MeTube and Spokify, I could potentially donate over $10,000 in the next month!

With the videos already edited, today I decided to spend the afternoon with Liv learning how to do my makeup while she taught me as much as she could.

Surprisingly, Ethan was also curious to see what it would be like, but after seeing how boring it was to learn the name and purpose of each makeup product, he quickly gave up and went off to play with his new remote control car, leaving me alone to learn with Liv.

I could tell that Liv was a little upset after Ethan left that it was too boring to learn.

"Don't mind him if he says it's boring to learn, he's just a kid... I'm having fun learning with you." I said as I reached out and stroked her head.

Hearing this, Liv realized that what I'd said was true and smiled as she continued to explain.

I guess my affinity for makeup wasn't very high, because after two hours of lessons, my skill had only increased by one level.

[Makeup Mastery Lv 2]

This was enough to give me two months of knowledge, but I was still far from being able to make myself look good enough to gain another charisma point.

Of course, it was completely unfair to compare my learning speed with other people, since I had learned the equivalent of two months in one week.

But compared to the rate at which I improved other skills, it was still too slow.

Fortunately, I wasn't in a hurry, and seeing how much fun Liv was having while explaining it to me was more than enough motivation for me to dedicate myself to continuing to learn, even if my learning enjoyment wasn't as good as it could have been.

After an afternoon of studying with her, I went to get ready for the show I was going to do at a bar tonight.

I even considered trying to do some basic makeup on myself, just something to highlight my face, but thinking that with my level I might look more like a gay man than a handsome guy, I just gave it up and left it until I had this skill at a higher level to really try it.

Thinking about the scene of me going on stage with silly makeup gave me a good laugh.
