Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 213

213 It’s Been a Long Time

In addition to Scott, the evening show would feature a number of well-known singers. Those singers were all young idol singers with many fans. Moreover, many people wanted to see them standing on the stage together.

When the website first started selling tickets, they were rapidly sold out.

Tammy and Natalie visited Scott backstage and chatted with him. After sending them off, Scott smiled as he was resigned.

Then, Sam, who was standing by, immediately urged the makeup artist to put makeup on him. He said, “Geez! I’m even starting to get anxious. You know, the show is about to start. Let me fix your hair, okay? You should meet these two little fans when the show is over.”

“Oh, they’re not just my fans. Tammy is my niece, as you know. Isn’t she adorable?”

Sam immediately pressed him on his shoulders to make him sit on the chair. The makeup artist then immediately began to do his makeup.

“I forgot to mention that there will be a large number of investors there tonight. So, just don’t screw this up, okay? There will be a dinner party after the concert, and don’t try to

run away this time.”

Scott didn’t appear to be interested in that at all. He said, “No, I don’t want to go.”

Sam said seriously, “What are you talking about? No, you have to go! Have you noticed how many endorsements the singers in the same company with you have? Do you think they got all those endorsements out of nowhere? Let me tell you, they got them by having dinner with their sponsors. If you have a lunch and a few drinks with them, you’ll get tens of millions of dollars. So, you have to go, Scott.”

Scott was irritated because Sam kept saying that. He replied, “Gosh! I don’t want to be in those gigs ever again! You know, I just want to write my songs without being disturbed.”

“Are you really listening to what I’m saying? CDs now are so passé! Do you know how many pirated albums you can find on the Internet now? Even if you publish the music on the internet and sell them, you won’t make much money. That money isn’t even enough to cover the cost of making the CD. I have nothing to say to you if you want to be an artist. But I’m doing this because I want you to make money. So, will you listen to me just once?”

Scott held up a hand to show he was surrendering. He said, “All right, all right. I

got it.”

He was deeply aware that no one could concentrate on art today without making money. He wrote songs with the money he earned through endorsements and concerts, which allowed him to follow his heart. He’d only been a singer for a year, yet he already felt fatigued from head to toe. He felt like he was spinning like a gyroscope, and he would fall

No matter how brilliant I am on the stage or how wretched / would fall from the altar, the audience would only look at me and do nothing. They don‘t care about how I feel at all. Scott thought to himself.

Just after the show, someone told Scott where he should go to the dinner. Sam followed him closely on his way there until they got to the hotel restaurant. So, Scott didn’t have a chance to escape.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, so you can go back now. It creeps me out when you keep looking at me like that.” Scott said to Sam.

Sam then said, “If you say hi to the president of Walnut, I’ll let you go.”

“What? Over my dead body! Have you met Mr. Evans? Do you know what he looks like and how creepy he is? He’s a p*****t!”

“All you have to do is to smile at him.”

A man approached them just as they were about to argue because neither of them wanted to back down. That gentleman was dressed elegantly in a brown suit with a dark blue bow tie and holding a glass of champagne.

“Wow, Scott! I thought you would never go to parties like this.”

“Oh?” Randal uttered the last note slowly and deliberately, which seemed very meaningful.

Scott became embarrassed. He thought, I shouldn‘t have let Sam be my agent! He‘s an expert in getting me into trouble.

Scott forced himself to smile and said, “Hey, I don’t think it’s been that long. We just ran into each other ‘by chance three days ago in Tokyo.”

Scott felt like he was showing Randal respect by saying that. Scott was taken aback by the fact that they ran into each other every few days in various locations around the world. He wondered if Sam had told Randal about his schedule because Randal paid him well.
