Chapter 176:
She leaned away, careful to keep her hair out of his reach. “Stop messing up my hair p>
Raising his eyebrow, he went right back in, clearly intending to ruffle her hair again.
Not about to let him win, she swatted his hand aside. “You’re impossible! You’ve always been this way, ever since we were kids p>
He met her with a laugh, playfully echoing her words. “And you’ve always been adorable. You haven’t changed since we were little p>
Noelle was speechless. A rosy blush spread over her cheeks. Impulse took over, and she kicked him lightly in the shin.
He glanced down at the spot she’d kicked, wearing an amused smile. “That’s nothing compared to the kicks you used to give me as a kid p>

For the second time, she found herself speechless.
Before anyone realized it, the day of the album release had finally come. The clock hadn’t even struck eight before social media was buzzing with anticipation, despite the official launch being set for ten o’clock.
New music from Jaxton and Brock—two giants with fan bases in the tens of millions—meant today was destined to be unforgettable. All eyes turned to the impending numbers, as fans and industry insiders alike waited to see whose release would dominate the charts.
Supporters from both camps readied themselves for battle, credit cards in hand, determined to snap up their favorite’s new tracks the very moment they went live.
At precisely nine, Brock fired off a teaser tweet. “Every two years, I put out an album. Today, it’s happening again. This time, there are ten new songs, and one was written by a close friend. I really think you’ll enjoy it! Counting down the minutes until ten o’clock p>
Excitement exploded among his followers. Wallets were ready. Everyone was itching to hear what Brock had cooked up this time.
While the comment section filled with celebration, fans began analyzing his words.
“Could it be NoMo behind one of the songs? After all, Brock’s the only student NoMo ever took on. If anyone can convince NoMo to contribute, it’s him p>
“Don’t forget, NoMo composed for Brock’s last release, and it shattered records! Her work is unbeatable p>
“I mean, I don’t want to throw shade at Jaxton, but if NoMo’s on Brock’s team, there’s just no way Jaxton’s album will come out on top p>
“Speaking of which, who’s the mystery composer Jaxton mentioned p>
“Probably just someone from the usual roster. If it were a big name, the label would’ve made a huge deal about it already p>
Finally, the clock hit ten. Both Brock’s and Jaxton’s new releases appeared on streaming platforms at the exact same moment. People made a mad dash for Brock’s page, eager to confirm if NoMo had truly worked her magic again. Just seeing her name in the credits would be enough to capture everyone’s curiosity.
To everyone’s disappointment, the composer Brock had brought on board wasn’t NoMo after all—it was a seasoned industry heavyweight named Seymour Cox.
