As August went by like a breeze, Landon and Tatiana released the second EP single "Trampoline" (Zayn and Shaed) The single didn't have as much success as its predecessor "Cross Me ft One Direction" but it was still causing waves in the music scene.
The new single was a sultry track that showcased the duo's growth and experimentation with different sounds. Despite not matching the massive hit of "Cross Me," "Trampoline" still garnered significant attention from fans and critics alike, who praised the duo's chemistry and vocal range.
Landon, being the charismatic frontman, was thrilled with the response and couldn't wait to share their next project with the world. Tatiana, on the other hand, was more reserved, focusing on perfecting their craft and pushing the boundaries of their music.
As the news of the EP continued to gain traction, Landon, One Direction and Tatiana started brainstorming ideas for their next big projects individually.They knew they wanted to collaborate with other artists, explore new genres, and create something truly groundbreaking.
Two days later...The boardroom was filled with creative energy as Landon, Tatiana, and One Direction sat around the large wooden table, surrounded by screens displaying their upcoming EP's artwork and tracklist. Rachel, their manager, stood at the head of the table, discussing the release date and marketing strategy.
"Alright, guys, we need to finalize the release date for the EP," Rachel said, looking around the room. "We've got a few options, but I think we should go with the first week of September."
Tatiana nodded thoughtfully, while Harry and Louis started brainstorming ideas for promotional content. Meanwhile, Landon was noticeably distracted, his eyes fixed on his phone as he typed away.
"Hey, Landon, you with us?" Niall asked, chuckling. "Or are you too busy texting Liz?"
Landon looked up, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. "Just finalizing some details, guys," he said, trying to play it cool.
One Direction burst out laughing, with Liam teasing, "Details, huh? I bet her name starts with L and ends with 'iz'."
Tatiana rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Guys, focus. We've got work to do."
Liam turned to Landon and asked, "Seriously, mate, why aren't you two dating by now? You've been talking to Liz for ages, and you're always texting her."
Landon shrugged, trying to deflect the question. "We're just friends, Liam. Don't read too much into it."
But Liam persisted. "Come on, Landon, you're always talking about her. It's like you're smitten or something."
Landon's face flushed slightly as he looked away, trying to hide his smile. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Let's just focus on the EP, okay?"
Rachel intervened, saving Landon from further teasing. "Alright, let's get back on track. September 1st it is, then. We'll start rolling out promotional content next week."
Landon leaned forward, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "You know, guys, I think we should strike while the iron is hot. People are still riding high on the success of 'Cross Me,' and they're eagerly waiting for more music from One Direction. The longer we delay the release, the more the hype will die down."
Emma, Rachel's assistant, nodded in agreement. "I think Landon's right. The momentum is still there, and we should capitalize on it. When would be the best date to drop the EP?"
Landon smiled, a plan forming in his mind. "How about the 16th? It's soon enough to keep the momentum going, but not so soon that it feels rushed."
Tatiana nodded thoughtfully. "I like it. It's a good balance."
Rachel nodded, making a note on her pad. "Alright, let's go with the 16th. But we need to keep the fans engaged in the meantime."
Landon grinned. "Exactly. That's why I think One Direction should start posting some short clips of the new songs they've been working on. Just a few teasers to keep the fans interested and speculating."
Harry's eyes lit up. "I've got some great footage from the studio sessions. We can start sharing that on social media."
Louis nodded, already typing away on his phone. "I'll get started on editing some clips. We can share three or four of them over the next few weeks to build up the hype."
Niall chuckled. "And maybe we can throw in some behind-the-scenes footage of Landon and Tatiana working on their EP too."
Landon playfully rolled his eyes. "Hey, let's keep the focus on One Direction for now."
Rachel smiled, satisfied with the plan. "Alright, I think we've got a solid plan in place. Let's get to work, guys."
As the meeting adjourned, Liam approached Landon, a casual smile on his face. "Hey, Landon, want to grab a drink and hang out tonight? We can catch up and talk about something other than music for a change."
Landon shook his head, already thinking about his next project. "Can't make it tonight, Liam. I've got a new project from Rihanna that I want to complete by the end of today. I'll be in the studio recording, so I won't be able to make it."
Liam nodded understandingly. "No worries, mate. Maybe some other time."
As Landon left the meeting room, Liam turned to Rachel and Emma, a thoughtful expression on his face. "It's weird, isn't it? I feel like Landon is busy working his butt off for all of us, and yet we hardly even know the guy."
Rachel nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean, Liam. I hate relying on him too much, but so far, all his moves have brought success. When the time comes for us to help him, we'll do whatever we can."
Emma chimed in, "He's been a game-changer for our team, that's for sure. Let's just hope he knows we've got his back when he needs it."
Liam nodded, a sense of loyalty washing over him. "We'll make sure to return the favor, Rach. He's a talented guy, and we owe him a lot."
As they continued to discuss the upcoming projects and strategies, Liam couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Landon's work ethic and dedication. Despite their differences, Landon had become an integral part of their team, and they were all grateful for his contributions.

He couldn't help but smile as he read the fans' reactions, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. The EP had exceeded his expectations, and it seemed like everyone was loving the music.
As he stood there, lost in thought, Landon gazed out at the rising sun and murmured to himself, "Well, now what? Should I drop another album or just focus on the X-factor?"
The X-factor, a concept he'd been toying with for months, was still in its infancy. He'd been considering creating a platform – possibly a show – that would showcase emerging talent and give them a chance to shine. But was it the right time to pursue that dream, or should he focus on releasing more music?
Landon's mind whirled with possibilities as he weighed his options. He knew that whatever he chose to do next, it would have to be something special. The world was watching, and he was ready to deliver.
With a thoughtful expression, Landon turned away from the window and began to pace around his penthouse, his mind racing with ideas and possibilities. The future was bright, and he was eager to see what lay ahead.
