Two and Half Men - Reborn as Jake Harper

Chapter 89

Ellie Goulding was older than I remembered from my past life. She was already 20 years old.

She had some fame—sure, a few songs floating around—but nothing that had fully launched her into stardom just yet.

I wasn't surprised she accepted so quickly.

Then I turned to Pepper and asked, "So... Jennifer Lopez is really going to say yes?"

"Yes. Marshmello's momentum is incredible," Pepper said without hesitation. "You're the singer of the moment. Your songs might not attract the older audience as much, but you're starting to dominate the younger generation. You have no idea how many offers I get every single day."

She paused for a beat and then added, "And she liked the song."

Well, On the Floor is a nice track. Not even close to one of my favorites, but it worked really well commercially.

"She'll be the first singer I collaborate with who's really at the top of global music right now," I said, still a little surprised by it myself.

Pepper nodded. "I wanted someone like her after hearing your first five songs. But after I saw the public's reaction, I decided it was better to wait a bit longer. The negotiations with Jennifer Lopez are now more balanced..."

"Yeah," I said. I had agreed with Pepper when she changed her mind. We weren't in a rush for stardom. No need to negotiate a one-sided contract.
