Chapter 107
Leon’s gaze lingered on her for two seconds. After a brief surprise, he calmly accepted her arrangement, saying, “Okay, I’ll follow your lead.”
Natalie was slightly surprised. She tilted her head, a tease hidden in her smile. “Leon, you trust me that much?”
Her earlier comments about not needing preparation seemed unreliable, yet the serious Leon had agreed without question.
Seeing her mischievous yet flattered expression, Leon resisted the urge to ruffle her hair and smiled warmly. “Is it wrong to believe in you?”
“Well, it’s not bad,” Natalie replied honestly. “It’s just that you seem too calm.”
Leon smiled and took out his saxophone. “You’re my partner. If I don’t trust you, who should I trust? After seeing your last performance, I’m sure you’ll deliver another wonderful show.”
Flattered, Natalie quickly deflected, “No. This performance needs your participation to be perfect.”
Leon felt equally flattered. What man didn’t appreciate a heartfelt compliment, especially from someone he was fascinated with?
The atmosphere between them relaxed again.
Leon needed to practice the score. After exchanging a few words with Natalie, he started practicing.
This was his first on-stage performance with Natalie. He hoped to be in top form to accompany her and leave a lasting impression on her heart.
As Leon practiced, Natalie played with her phone.
She had already memorized the score and didn’t need to practice.
A symbolic rehearsal would suffice for her. The two didn’t bother each other.
Near noon, the camera in the room was turned on without them knowing.
So, the fans glued to the livestream saw the handsome man and beautiful woman, still ignoring each other, as if their initial intimacy had been fake.
[Are Leon and Natalie still not on good terms? Their conflict is freezing me out here.]
[It’s over. The couple I’m rooting for can’t be breaking up.]
[Raise the flag for Natalie & Jeremy. Natalie & Leon are lies!]
[What’s up with Natalie? Even if she’s upset, she should be preparing for the show instead of playing on her phone. She has no team spirit. If she doesn’t want to participate, she should just quit.]
[I don’t get why people like her! Does she think her popularity guarantees her a top six spot that she can act out?]
The netizens voiced their opinions, but the two people on the screen knew nothing about it.
ended, Natalie checked Twitter and saw her name trending, with “Slack Queen Natalie” high on the After the program discussion list, followed by “Natalie & Leon BE.”
She clicked in and skimmed through. Seeing the fans’ speculations and discussions, she thought they had quite the imagination but didn’t say much.
