At Jack's words, a rare hint of shyness appeared on Feena's face. She said softly, "Thank you. What brings you here?"
Jack replied casually, "I came here with a friend to do something."
"I see."
Although Feena was extremely smart, she would never have associated Jack with the IT summit that was happening upstairs. After all, only top-tier leaders were invited to it. It was also a distant dream for someone like her, who wasn't particularly famous yet.
Still, Feena asked with concern, "Jack… Have you settled the matters regarding Soul?"
Ever since the controversy around Soul blew up, Feena had thought of asking Donald to help Jack, but in the end, Donald was powerless. After all, Jack had not only offended a powerful figure behind the scenes but also the entire music industry.
It was simply because Jack was so talented that he had threatened the other musicians' interests.
That was it.
Jack knew that Feena was referring to the controversy and hateful comments toward his identity as "Soul". He smiled bitterly and said, "It's fine."
Although Jack didn't fully rely on his identity as "Soul" to make a living, that was still something he had built with immense effort. Now that he was in trouble because of it, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated—but only a little.
Seeing this, Feena decided not to ask further. She knew the details, and she also knew that Jack had offended an incredibly influential person. However, when she thought about how Jack's talent would be buried, with no possibility of him ever making a comeback, she felt bad.
Sensing that the atmosphere was getting heavy, Jack chuckled and changed the subject. "Alright. My friend's probably waiting for me, so I should get going. Let's talk next time."
After that, he turned and left. Feena looked at him, and her lips parted as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just let out a sigh.
