"No need."
"But..."
"No buts. Do as I say." Haynes' tone left no room for argument. "She has to take care of Keen; she doesn't have time for all these frivolous events."
Benson sighed silently. Earning the admiration of Maestro Walden was the dream of many musicians.
Haynes added, "Recommend Rachel to Maestro Walden."
Benson's eyebrows rose. "I've heard Maestro Walden is quite eccentric. He's specifically asked for Ms. Cameron. Recommending Ms. Pearce might not go over well..."
Haynes was silent for a few moments. "Set up a meeting with Maestro Walden. I'll speak with him personally."
Benson sighed again, "Understood."
Jasper, seeing Haynes hang up, dropped the subject as well.
...
At Stella's house.
Abby Murphy was laughing uncontrollably after learning that Jasper and Rachel had taken the concoction.
"Hahaha! Did Rachel and that Jasper really drink something brewed with foot wash and cockroaches?"
Stella couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled the scene and nodded.
Abby was thrilled, "Next time, I should think of something even better to add."
After laughing for a while, Abby remembered the main topic.
"Star, wasn't your performance with Antoney Watson already scheduled? Why was it suddenly postponed?"
Stella furrowed her brow. "Mr. Burton said that since I'm going through a divorce with Haynes, he wants me to sort out my personal issues first."
