LOGINPausing, Tanya then continued, "I'd like more interaction, ideally singing one of your songs and then one of mine, as well as a solo performance from you. What do you think?""No problem. I can basically sing all your songs," Quinn smiled cheerfully, but then asked worriedly, "But most of my songs are in Oskian… Will you be able to manage?""Of course!" Tanya nodded, smiling. "I've been following your work too. Being artists, we tend to have a good memory when it comes to rhythm and lyrics, though lyrics will be a little challenging, but that's fine. Besides, don't forget that we have teleprompters, and even with the language barrier, I could use transliteration, and that's most of the song done!"Charlie smiled and nodded as well. "I've seen artists do that abroad, and even the singers in the country do the same… There were still some that screwed up anyway, and it ended up being a viral meme."Quinn laughed. "So, you still remember?"Charlie chuckled. "It really was that infamou
Tanya might not have regarded Quinn with much importance in the past—she was at least a few ranks beneath her as a singer, after all.At present, most globally influential artists lived in the western hemisphere, which had a lot to do with English being the universal language, and it was also how Hollywood remained on top of showbiz.Quinn may be influential amongst Oskians all over the world, but it didn't apply to the rest.That wasn't the case for Tanya, who was endlessly popular in almost every country—even where there was a language barrier. That was how she had risen as a global phenomenon.Even then, at this very moment, all her thoughts were on getting into Quinn's good graces.She really had no idea what the connection between Quinn and Charlie was, but she could tell from Charlie and Quinn's exchange that Charlie really cared about Quinn.And in Tanya's mind, if Charlie cared about Quinn, so must she.Quinn was ready to be starstruck herself and was surprised that said
Charlie was stumped.He definitely did not expect Quinn to say that out loud, as he really expected her to share a tacit understanding not to press the issue.He didn't expect Quinn to just give up on pretenses and say it out loud.Still, he suddenly realized that this wasn't just a matter of perpetuating his lineage.For Quinn, this was just as important to her… If not more.And seeing his conflict, Quinn quietly reached over to tug on his arm, assuring him, "You don't have to feel pressured. I've got your back no matter what happens."Charlie nodded quietly, but he wasn't at ease at all despite his calmness.-Shangri-la was already congested with journalists when they arrived, as everyone was hoping to catch an exclusive for Tanya's first concert in Eastcliff.Fortunately, Shangri-la was sublime when it came to protecting their guests' privacy, clearing out the entire top floor for Tanya and her crew.Aside from the presidential suite booked for Tanya, the other business s
Quinn's words left Charlie feeling a little awkward, as he didn't expect her to see through him right then.Even as he drove, he chuckled awkwardly, "No, I'm not hiding… We're going straight to Tanya to discuss your cameo…"Quinn smiled, shaking her head. "Please. I know we've been apart for years, but I still know you."She didn't make it obvious, but Charlie knew full well that she could read his mind.But while he wasn't sure how to respond, she added, "There are plenty of things that are less complicated than you think, and priority matters—it can wait."Charlie nodded, sighing. "I guess the old folks are getting a little impatient."Quinn nodded too, her tone serious, "There are plenty of things they're worried about, especially the situation where you might fail. But I'm not worried."Charlie chuckled. "You're that confident in me?""Yep!" Quinn replied bluntly, having unconditional faith in him.She wouldn't doubt it for a moment if Charlie were to one day claim the wor
Pausing, Charlie remembered Jeremiah's request and said, "By the way, my grandfather asked me to invite everyone to his house for dinner if you're not busy?"Rachel's nerves had already eased upon hearing that Charlie would be dropping by for lunch.Now, she was even more relieved hearing that Jeremiah was inviting her family and knowing that the old man was going to make his move.Laughing, she said, "Sure. Yule and I have nothing to do since we're retired, and it's the same for Quinn since she's on a break. Right, Quinn?"Quinn smiled. "I mean, I was going to take a break until my final concert, but I'll probably be busy over the next few days. It's an honor to be a guest singer at Tanya's concert, and as an Eastcliff native, I guess I can consider it as being a host for a very important guest."Rachel nodded. "If you say so. I've got your back."Seeing that everything was in place with no schedule clashes, Charlie called Tanya.It was still rather early, so he wasn't sure if
Rachel smiled at Charlie like a mother-in-law would, with increasing admiration.She had been amongst Curtis' legions of fangirls back when he had charmed the capital, but it was one of sheer admiration and not romance.Seeing how Curtis had taken the world by storm and how Charlie had risen through the ranks over the past couple of years, Rachel was even more eager to have Charlie formally marry Quinn.Even so, she was aware that Charlie had plenty of issues when he had been wandering around for years. She therefore couldn't force it, even as she hoped her daughter would perpetuate Charlie's lineage—not just to start a family, but to fulfill the three-year promise.If he really broke the promise, he would definitely ghost her, judging from his character.That meant her daughter would completely miss a chance to be with him in this lifetime.She was a woman too, and she had seen firsthand how Helen Dunn, Sheldon Schulz's ex-wife, had suffered her whole life because she wasn't the
He did not expect that this matter would put him in such a passive state.The other party refused to even let him off now that he was raising his hands to surrender. Charlie looked at Caden and said with a smile, “I heard Dr. Simmons say that you made a bet with him yesterday, and the bet was a medic
“We’re still at the clinic...” Xyla sobbed and said, “Grandpa intends to pack everything up tonight.”“Okay!” Charlie said immediately, “Wait for me at the clinic. I’ll go there now!”When Charlie drove and arrived at Anthony’s Serene World Clinic, the signboard of the clinic had been taken off and ha
After hearing Charlie’s instructions, Porter said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade, I’ll do my best to make the arrangements before the other party comes. When the time comes, I will head to the copper mine personally to take charge and make sure that he has no way of coming back!” Charlie
Vera was a girl with a withdrawn personality and a bit of aloofness.She did not like to interact with people, and she liked to stay at home alone to read books, drink tea, write calligraphy, paint, and burn incense to tell fortunes. Logan’s manor really surprised her. She thought of how she had been
