Chapter 407
However, when Samantha brought her to the practice room, and she saw it was indeed Richie Tannen, she lost her composure. Richie used to be one of the best love song singers in the past.
Sophie is too well-connected. How is she capable of inviting all these fantastic people? This is crazy!
Ysabelle was shocked to her core.
“Are you Ysabelle, the girl Sophie introduced to me?” Richie asked. He was very famous back then. Regrettably, he didn't enjoy over-exposing his private life, so he gradually faded from the entertainment industry.
“Hello, Mr. Tannen. I'm Ysabelle Lombard. I'll be in your care from now on.” She hastily bowed to him.
He was my favorite male singer when I was little. I didn't expect to become his disciple one day.
“Sophie has told me about your situation. All you have to do is focus on learning from me. You don't have to overthink other matters. Although being blessed with opportunities is crucial in achieving success in the entertainment industry, working hard is equally important.”
“I understand, Mr. Tannen. I'll listen to you obediently.”
“I didn't expect Sophie to be acquainted with an adorable girl like you.” This young lady is quite cute when she's serious. “All right, why don't you try singing a few lines?”
What? He wants me to sing right away?
Ysabelle was dumbfounded. Still, she cleared her throat. She could read sheet music, so she sang a few lines according to the music sheet.
“Not bad, but you're obviously lacking in your lung capacity. Your voice wavers whenever the line is too long.” Richie's words hit the nail on the head. “I suppose Sophie has arranged for you to undergo physical training. You must exercise diligently.”
“Understood, Mr. Tannen.”
Ysabelle had the urge to cry. I can't believe I really need to undergo physical training! Seriously? I'm trying to become a singer, not an athlete.
“Actually, you can try swimming. I assume you know how to swim, right? It'll be sufficient to maintain a daily one-hour swimming routine. If not, jogging is not a bad exercise too.”
Meanwhile, inside Sophie's office, everyone had left except Sophie and Tristan.
He sat on the couch, watching Sophie as she dealt with her work.
This is not how a girl who has just finished her university entrance exam should behave. She won't even agree to my suggestion of taking a two-day break.
Sophie made another phone call before she sat down beside him.
“Mr. Tristan, you should go about your own business. I still need to wait for Mark and the others here.” She had plenty of work left to do due to the many pending decisions related to TS Entertainment's management.
Only after addressing the issues could the company continue to operate as usual.
“It's fine. You can continue what you're doing. I enjoy seeing the earnest way you look when you're working.” Tristan's eyes twinkled like a starry night.
Sophie smiled.
“Okay. Whatever floats your boat.”
Right after she finished her sentence, Tristan's phone rang. It was a call from Felix.
“Mr. Tristan, you should return to the office. There's a problem I can't settle.” Felix was genuinely desperate and had no other choice but to contact Tristan.
“You're useless!” Tristan was speechless.
“That's enough. Mr. Northley must've called you because it's a truly urgent matter. Go on with your work.” He's not carrying out his duty as the company's CEO.
Tristan held her hand.
He truly didn't want to leave her alone there.
“Then call me once you're done here. I'll come and pick you up.”
“There's no need to go to all that trouble. I'll go back to Wisteria Apartments right after I'm done with my work. You can straightaway return home too.”
This girl is brilliant and eloquent. It was exactly because I had listened to her that I gave up my comfortable life to take up this position as her company's PR manager.
“To be honest, you enjoy this kind of life, don't you? Are you sure you can leave this lifestyle behind you?” Sophie was sure she could successfully hire Xandra because the latter took pleasure in that job.
Xandra was at a loss for words. I can't hide anything from her because she knows me too well. It's as if she can read my mind.
“That's right. I cannot leave this lifestyle behind me.” Why would anyone return to living a mundane life after they've experienced the best things life has to offer? “You know me too well!”
Sophie grinned at her in response.
She understood Xandra's character well, so she knew Xandra couldn't give up those responsibilities.
“Let me know if you face any difficulty. I'll come up with a solution.” Sophie wasn't as irresponsible as letting her employees deal with all the problems without offering to help.
“This matter is quite troublesome. But since you have so much faith in me, I'll make sure to acquire Cecelia for you. By the way, is there any other talent you're targeting besides Cecelia?”
“Nope. I only need Cecelia.” Sophie reckoned she shouldn't be so unmerciful toward her competitors by dominating the entire market, as that would be too inconsiderate.
The two then discussed some existing problems in TS Entertainment, and Sophie proposed ideas for amendments and improvements to Xandra.
By the time they finished talking, it was already half-past eleven in the morning. At that moment, Mark and the others returned.
"You're still here. Sophie!”
Sunny was exhausted. He immediately slumped onto the couch after entering the room.
“What other activities do you have in the afternoon? If there aren't any, you all should go back and get some proper rest.” If they continue to work themselves so hard, I figure it won't be long before they expire on stage due to fatigue.
“We have one more activity left.”
