Rihanna Jensen gave Hannah Roland a searching look after her confession. Sighing under her breath, she stood up to circle Hannah before coming to stand in front of her.
“You look decent, and you’re in good shape, too. Sing me a song then,” Rihanna urged.
Singing was Hannah’s forte, a talent her parents had cultivated since she was a kid. They had spent a lot of money on their daughter to enhance her artistic skills.
Hannah quickly thought of a song, 'The Brightest Star'. She kept her gaze on the manager and started singing—
“Can the brightest star in the night sky hear the one who’s looking up and sighing with loneliness?
“Oh, can the brightest star in the night sky remember the person who used to be by my side?
“I pray for a vulnerable heart and eyes that are capable of tears.
“Give me the courage to believe and embrace you through the lies."
She sang every line and word with genuine passion.
Her voice was beautiful and powerful, like the voice of an angel.
Rihanna was mesmerized by her singing, feeling like she was looking at a future singing sensation.
She clapped enthusiastically after the song ended. “Well done! You have the voice of an angel. I’ve heard so many professional singers for the job, yet you’re still the best among them.”
Hannah smiled in pleasure when she heard her. “That’s too kind of you. Do I have a chance at the job?”
“Of course! You’re pretty and can sing well. I like you. We’ll pay you three thousand dollars per show in the evening. Normally, our singers perform three shows each night.”
Hannah was overjoyed and relieved at the same time. “Can I please make a request?” she asked hesitantly.
