Nadia was shaken by her mother's words.
"Which one is E?" Nico looked around the stage, but he did not find Fred anywhere.
"On stage! The one singing right now... That's E!" Mrs. Raven shouted, desperately hoping that she could be at the concert.
"Mom, E isn't on stage! That's Eric Santos!"
"E is Eric Santos! Oh my god! I was wondering why he looked so familiar the last time I met him! So he's the big star, Eric Santos!" Mrs. Raven said, her blood pressure rising as she thought about it. "I can't do it! I feel so dizzy... I need to go lie down..."
She hung up and the siblings turned to look at each other in bewilderment.
"Sis, what's going on?!"
"How would I know?! Weren't you the one who met E?"
"Yeah! The E I met with was a slightly chubby guy and I was just playing games with him! He's not Eric Santos! I would know if it's Eric Santos!" Nico said.
Just then, the music on stage stopped and another singer walked onto stage after Eric's song to throw his arm around Eric's shoulder.
"I have just found out that my bestie Eric is here, so I've invited him up on the stage to sing you all a song! You all enjoyed it?" The singer faced the stage with his microphone held high in the air.
"Yea!" The crowd screamed.
"Eric, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Who did you come with?" The singer asked casually in front of everyone.
"It would have never worked between me and him, Nico."
"I know. No matter how great he is, it's no use if you don't like him."
"That’s not it... He won't like me." Nadia patted her brother on the head awkwardly. "How can I not like Eric Santos? I don't think there's a living person on earth that doesn't like him. Let's go home! I'm not into daydreaming!"
"Sis! Are you doubting yourself?" He studied the wary expression on Nadia's face and said, "I've never seen you doubting yourself!"
"You brat! Leave me alone! Won't you doubt yourself as well if I set you up with Angelina Joline?"
"I... I won't! If you really do, I will be overjoyed!"
