Chapter 17: I'd Like Your Support
Olivier said nothing still.
"Alright, alright. Every second is precious. I won't waste any more of your time."
With that, Grandma Melanie hung up.
Hearing the engaged ring tone over the phone, Olivier wordlessly shook his head.
Putting down the phone, he lazily leaned back against the sofa as his gaze dropped to his arms. A hint
of a smile creeped into his eyes when he recalled what happened earlier.
The next day, Gwenda woke with difficulty when she heard the alarm.
She had been very agitated the night before and had some difficulty sleeping.
After a moment of struggle, she managed to get out of bed and carefully opened her room door.
She stuck her head out and glanced around. After confirming that there was no one in the living room,
she let out a sigh of relief.
...
Thankfully, Olivier had not yet woken.
After running through her morning ablutions and getting dressed, Gwenda quietly slipped out of her
room. She left a note before leaving the apartment.
After all, she had something really important to do today!
Based on the gossip she saw in her previous life, the company often arranged for Cecilia Kelly to sing
in public on the bridge during the nadir of her career, and this performance would last for a whole day.
After calculating, Gwenda realised that Cecilia's nadir was currently ongoing right now.
Therefore, Gwenda went to the bridge near KG Entertainment bright and early, waiting patiently for
Cecilia's appearance.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the number of office workers on the streets grew.
...
It was also at this time that Cecilia appeared. Dressed in casual clothing, Cecilia had a guitar slung on
her back as she made her way to the mouth of the bridge.
Gwenda caught sight of her in the crowd.
Compared to the coveted and distinguished top-tier singer from her previous life, the Cecilia before her
was someone she had never seen before. This Cecilia Kelly had a worn guitar on her back and an
equally worn bag in her hand.
Despite that, Gwenda could see her innate stage temperament shining through her shabby
appearance.
...
Gwenda did not rush forward to meet her. She stood nearby and quietly watched as Cecilia set up her
microphone before picking up her guitar to sing.
Her melodious voice echoed on the bridge, and Gwenda listened appreciatively in silence.
...
Occasionally, passers-by would stop and watch Cecilia for a moment. Some would even applaud her
performance.
But most were hurrying to work and did not bother to watch her.
Cecilia stood there and sang. Her eyes were seemingly empty, and yet they also seemed to be looking
at millions of spectators.
Her voice remained heavenly.
Gwenda did nothing for the whole morning but enjoyed the performance.
This went on until noon where Cecilia was ready to leave. Only then did Gwenda step up to her.
"Hi."
Gwenda greeted her with a smile.
Cecilia had been packing her things when she heard that. When she looked up, her eyes carried a hint Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
of surprise. "Hi."
"You sing very well."
"Thanks."
After a moment's thought, Cecilia added, "Thanks for listening for the whole morning."
Gwenda raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You saw me?"
"Yeah."
Cecilia cherished anyone who listened earnestly to her singing.
Gwenda chuckled. "If that's the case, shall I treat you to a meal?"
Hearing this, Cecilia was surprised.
Gwenda smiled warmly and said, "I really appreciate your talent, and I think that we'll have some
common topics of interest."
With that, Gwenda took Cecilia to a nearby restaurant.
In the private room, both took their seats and ordered their food.
After that, Gwenda went straight to the point. "I am Gwenda Evans, and I'm the boss of M Studio. I
came to see you today because I'd like to invite you to join my studio and leave KG Entertainment
instead. What do you think about that?"
Hearing her words, Cecilia was shocked, and she asked incredulously, "Why?"
