Rory frowned and turned his head. Sure enough, Devin was onstage, handing the bouquet of roses to Becky.
The drums stopped abruptly, and the exciting music instantly lost its soul.
Becky wasn’t expecting that someone would give her flowers, let alone that Devin would be the one giving her the flowers.
When the big bouquet was handed to her, Becky was forced to stop playing to take the flowers. “Uhm, thank you.”
Devin smiled charmingly. “You’re most welcome. I got you these flowers because I thought they’d match your beauty, but I was wrong. You’re way more beautiful. Anyway, please continue. I won’t bother you anymore.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked off the stage. The stunned audience suddenly burst into hysterics.
It was like a scene straight out of a romantic movie!
Becky watched Devin leave and felt conflicted. With a shrug, she put the flowers down beside her, picked up the drum sticks, and proceeded to play.
A few minutes later, the song ended, which marked the end of tonight’s performance.
Becky gathered the bouquet in her arms and carefully walked down from the stage. Devin came over and asked, “Miss Ramos, would you like to have a midnight snack with me?”
Devin was a well-known playboy. Becky didn’t know why he suddenly had a crush on her.
With a faint smile, she handed the flowers back to him. “I’m sorry, Devin. I’m allergic to pollen.”
Devin clicked his tongue in disappointment. “Oh, my bad.”
He threw the bouquet away and added, “I won’t make the same mistake again.”
Becky glanced at him indifferently. “I don’t really eat midnight snacks either.”
“Then how about I drive you home?”
Devin sure was thick-skinned.
Before Becky could refuse him yet again, Jessie suddenly nudged her and whispered, “I think you should go with him. Aiken and Rory are here.”
Becky knew what she meant. Jessie wanted Rory to know that there were many other men chasing after Becky.
Becky looked in the direction Jessie was pointing. As expected, in the booth not far away, Rory and Aiken were nursing glasses of wine.
Becky snorted. “Thanks for the offer, Devin, but I drove here.”
