Chapter 1554


    The next morning, David bombarded his sister with messages.


    [Hey Be, you''reing to my concert tonight, right? Whether Romeo can make it or not doesn''t


    matter, but I need you there!]


    [It''s your first time at one of my gigs! No need to queue, I''ll have my assistant add you on WhatsApp


    and she''ll sneak you in through the side door.]


    [Any songs you''re dying to hear tonight? I''ll belt out any tune for you. Plus, we''ve got some special


    guests joining me on stage – I bet some of them are your idols! Want their autographs? I''ll make sure


    they sign everything for you in person.]


    [Seven o''clock sharp, you''ll be there, won''t you?]


    At the end of his messages, David included a puppy-eyed emoji full of anticipation.


    Arabe didn''t finish work until after two and didn''t hit the sack until after three, only to be woken up by


    David''s texts just after six.


    [David, you''re up early?] she typed back groggily.


    [What choice do I have, you workaholic! Hans said you''d rather ve away at the office thane to


    my show. I''ve been worried sick all night, and only dared to message you once the sun was up. Why


    are you up so early, too? I hope I didn''t wake you.]


    Arabe could only reply, [Romeo and I wille tonight.]


    [For real?] David was over the moon, immediately sending a screenshot to Hans before telling


    Arabe, [Then how about dinner backstage with me? What''s your craving? I''ll have it delivered right to


    us!]


    He couldn''t risk going out to eat before the show – fans would swarm him in seconds.


    [We''ll eat with Romeo.]


    David was hit hard by the rejection, but still replied, [Alright, see you tonight then. Don''t forget, it starts


    at seven.]


    [Got it.]


    After she finished texting, Arabe was wide awake. She handled some work on her phone, took some


    files to the office, and started a meeting. But before it was over, she noticed several young department


    heads constantly ncing at their watches.


    "What''s up?" Arabe''s gaze settled on them, their minds clearly elsewhere as they kept checking the


    time.


    "Ms. Bet." the Deputy Finance Director gave a sheepish smile, "David''s got a concert in


    Summerfield tonight. I managed to score tickets after a fierce battle, can I duck out early this


    afternoon?"


    The other department heads looked on with hopeful eyes, clearly already at the concert in their minds.


    It was Arabe''s first realization of David''s allure. She asked evenly, "Isn''t the concert at seven this


    evening?"


    It was only ten in the morning and they were already distracted?


    "Ms. Bet, I didn''t know you kept tabs on this stuff. Are you a fan too?"


    "Fan?"


    "Yeah, fan."


    Arabe was speechless.


    "I''m a fan too, but I only managed to getwn tickets," another female employeemented.


    "Be d you got a ticket at all. I had to buy mine from a scalper – eighteen hundred a pop."


    Arabe was amazed.


    "So, are we meeting at four at the supermarket across from the stadium?"


    "Yeah, yeah, I''ve even brought my suitcase with banners, glow sticks, and all. We''ll put up the banners


    together and chant in unison."

    Arabe had no idea there was so much involved in attending a concert.


    "Ms. Bet, please let us go early this afternoon. It''s a once in a lifetime event!" They all pleaded with


    Arabe.
