Chapter 1562
David paused for a second, his eyes meeting Arabe''s with a fleeting hint of regret.
“So, are we swapping out the guest now?”
Before Jossie could finish her sentence, her phone started to buzz in her hand, the screen lighting up
with an unfamiliar number.
Slightly puzzled, she instinctively answered, “Hello, yes, this is Jossie. Oh, right, our agent had a minor
op at the hospital yesterday, so I''m handling David''s affairs at the moment. You must be Ms. Kiki,
Summer''s agent.”
Jossie could hardly mask her shock and surprise, “Hi, Ms. Kiki, I''ve heard so much about you. Uh-huh,
oh, thank you so much for considering David. Yes, the concert starts at seven, and the headliner
should take the stage at 8:05 PM. Uh-huh, sure thing, I''ll send the duet song to your cell in a bit. Great,
just let me know when you''re close, and I''lle meet you. Alrighty, bye now.”
After ending the call, Jossie was still trying to process the news. It took her a moment before she
squealed with excitement, “David, Summer said she’d be our concert''s headliner! Her agent asked me
to send the duet song over for her to review, she’ll pass it to Summer!”
“Really?” David hadn''t expected Summer to agree so suddenly. He hugged his sister tightly, his face lit
up with joy, “You better stick around for the end, Summer''s voice is out of this world.”
“David''s got a crush on her?”
“Who wouldn''t like someone talented with a voice like hers?” David ruffled his sister''s hair, clearly
pleased to surprise her.
Meanwhile, Romeo nced at the well-behaved Arabe, a smirk ying on his lips.
Did she know Ms. Kiki? Or Summer herself? How did she manage to convince them to get Summer to
agree to be the concert''s headliner in such a short amount of time?
“C’mon, let''s get you some grub,” David said, still riding a wave of excitement, eager to take Arabe
backstage.
But Arabe held her ground, “You go ahead to the soundcheck. Romeo and I will find something to
eat.”
David was surprised that his sister seemed to have Romeo on her mind no matter what she was doing,
“Alright then. Romeo, don’t you eat all the good stuff, save some for my sis, okay? I gotta run through
my set. How about I sing a couple of tunes for you now?”
“We''ll see what''s good to eat,” Romeo said, slinging an arm around Arabe''s shoulder, steering her
away before she could linger any longer.
“Hey, man. Is my singing really that bad? There are tons of people out there dying to hear me.”
With Summer joining the lineup, David was sure the song would be a hit.
Thinking this, he watched his sister''s retreating figure, eyes soft with affection.
“Arabe, I''ll take you backstage,” Jossie said after sending David''s new song to Ms. Kiki''s phone. She
led Arabe and Romeo to the backstage area, “Take your time looking around. All this food is from
David’s order for you guys; enjoy it. With the agent in the hospital, I''m the only one running around

here. I gotta check out the stage setup; the concert''s about to start.”
“Okay,” Arabe nodded, watching Jossie disappear.
Romeo hadn''t anticipated David, the ultimate doting brother, would really spoil his sister with a feast of
snacks and drinks. It seemed he was genuinely worried she might go hungry.
“All in the name of brotherly love,” Romeo said, poking a straw into a ss of iced tea and handing it to
Arabe.
She took a sip and asked, “Aren''t you having any?”
“Your brother told me to save some for you. How about we just share the one you''ve got?”
“Careful, or my brother might take a swing at you.”
Romeo couldn''t help but chuckle.
After a while, David finished his soundcheck and walked into the backstage area with a few of the day''s
hottest pop idols.
“Let me introduce you guys. This is my sister, Arabe, blood-rted,” David said, tousling Arabe''s
hair as he introduced her proudly as a brother. “And these guys are the hit boy band KING. You''re
usually buried in your books, so you probably haven''t paid much attention to them.”
