Shelly accepted the ticket and noticed that it was a concert hosted by an extremely famous musician from overseas; Shelly frequently played his music at her cafe.
"These tickets are really hard to come by. I tried booking them online but couldn't get my hands on them." Shelly wanted to take the ticket but felt slightly embarrassed to do o.
"It's not that hard! My friends can get me tickets to anything," Layla said casually.
Reassured, Shelly accepted the ticket happily. "Thank you, Layla! I will accept this, then! I really like this musician."
Layla poured her a cup of tea and said, "Shelly, do you like talented, artistic men like him?"
Shelly sipped her tea and blushed. "His music has soul, and every time I listen to it, I forget about all my troubles. A lot of people love him."
"Yeah, I know. What I meant was if this is the type of man you like," Layla explained.
Hayden had no talent for art and knew nothing apart from technology, so Layla knew that an unromantic man like him might not be the ideal man. Though Hayden's looks and wealth were enough to entice most women, Layla did not want her brother to marry someone who was only after his looks and money.
If possible, she wanted her brother to find his soulmate.
Shelly chuckled sheepishly. "I don't know. I've never considered that."
"Huh? Why not? Have you never had a boyfriend apart from my brother?" Layla asked curiously.
"Yeah. Something happened when I graduated from college, so I've devoted myself to making money and have no time to consider anything else," Shelly said.
"Do you think you can consider it now that your situation has improved? Have your parents not urged you to get married?" Layla continued.
"No, my parents have never pressured me. Besides, I'm busy with work right now, and they believe I should prioritize my career," Shelly replied calmly. "Our family used to be very poor. It's only with Aunty Avery's help that we've finally improved our situation, so I don't want to miss this opportunity to strive for success."
Back in the cafe, Shelly took out the ticket Layla had given her and looked at it again, feeling as though she was dreaming.
She wanted to attend this concert, and coincidentally, Layla had a ticket and even gave it to her.
"What's that?" A staff member approached and took a glance.
"It's a ticket for a concert. Layla gave it to me." Shelly did not mean to boast but could not help sounding happy.
"You really are close with the Fosters, Ms. Taylor! They take care of our business and treat you so well. Do you think you'll marry into their family one day?" the staff member exclaimed.
"You're reading too much into it. Layla only gave me this ticket because she can't go tomorrow," Shelly explained.
"Ms. Taylor, this is a front-row ticket! These kinds of tickets are not available to the public. They're reserved for esteemed guests. When you go to the concert tomorrow, you must dress up nicely. The person sitting next to you will undoubtedly be someone of wealth and status. If it's a woman, you can promote our cafe to her, and if it's a man, you can try exchanging phone numbers with him..."
