Chapter 123
“That’s the one!”
You were going to introduce me, remember? Roslyn, my savior, could you maybe…”
The way he drew out the end of his sentence was tinged with urgency, but it was clear he was downright thirsty for talent
Roslyn had watched Matthew fret over finding a decent lyricist for years and figured it was time to lend a hand. So, she decided to set up an intro during a casual movie outing.
Seeing his eagerness, Roslyn did not beat around the bush. “I was planning to introduce you guys anyway. Getting her to write for you, however, is not going to be a walk in the park.
“Let me lay it out straight: I will make the intro, and the rest is on you. Whether you can convince her to pen some lyrics, that is your gig.”
“I get it. If the work is good, she can name her price!”
Matthew was not shy about pouring money into his music, especially when it came to a lyricist with serious chops.
Alas…
Roslyn waggled her finger in front of him. “My friend is the darling of the Foster family. Do you really think she’s short on cash?”
The crowd did not realize the bombshell they had just dropped. The whispers around them started to pick
- up.
“I knew I recognized her! That’s Evangeline, the Foster family’s princess who’s all over the trending news!” An excited voice cut through the buzz. “Can I be this lucky? To be in the same movie theater as Ms. Evangeline, the one you only see in the headlines? I’m over the moon!”
Roslyn heard the chatter and instinctively clapped a hand over her mouth.
Had she accidentally dragged Evangeline into a mess?
The real shocker, however, was still to come.
