Chapter: 1484
Maria's eyelids grew heavy, weighed down by the weariness that had settled upon her, She yawned softly, her hand instinctively reaching up to rub her tired eyes.
With a final tap on her phone's screen, Maria turned it off. She closed her eyes, the weight of exhaustion finally overtaking her. As she drifted into the realm of dreams, her breathing steadied, becoming deep and rhythmic.
The next morning, Maria's eyes fluttered open, her hand instinctively reaching for her phone. With a swipe of her finger, she saw a cascade of notifications. Among them, the first message that caught her attention was from Jeremy, the CEO of Yeez Entertainment.
“Maria, when will you be available? I would like to invite you to the Dome so that we can watch the concert rehearsal together," the message from Jeremy began, his words appearing on the screen,
The newly built International Grand Theatre in Broome had earned itself a peculiar nickname among the locals. Referred to as the “Dome theater's smooth, curved exterior and gleaming facade mirrored the delicate shell of a goose egg.
The upcoming concert, which was to be held in Broome, was a collaborative effort between Yeez Entertainment and the Musicians' Association, a union of talent and passion, Despite Jeremy's busy schedule, he had made the journey from Sheffield, rushing back to ensure that everything was in place for the concert.
Although Jeremy didn't possess an extensive knowledge of music, his success as a businessman in the entertainment industry was undeniable. His expertise lay in navigating the intricate web of connections and social dynamics that fueled the world of entertainment.
The entire performance team, comprising not only the talented musicians but also the folk troupe, the conductor, and the dedicated backstage staff, had been meticulously selected by Jeremy. Through constant communication with the Musicians' Association, he had painstakingly curated a team of individuals who possessed the necessary skills to bring the concert to life.
In addition to the carefully selected performance team, Jeremy had personally handpicked several young performers, including the talented Clare.
These days, Jeremy had found himself consumed by a whirlwind of responsibilities and commitments, leaving him with little time to spare. The demands of his busy schedule had forced him to unintentionally neglect the public opinion circulating on the Internet.
Jeremy knew these performers had generated much anticipation among fans for the upcoming concert. Unbeknownst to him, Clare had inadvertently sparked a debate on the Internet.
“My schedule is very tight." Maria hesitated, contemplating whether to turn down the invitation.
However, a vivid memory from the previous night flashed through her mind, reminding her of the excitement and anticipation surrounding the concert.
The thought of the devoted fans eagerly awaiting this long-awaited event tugged at Maria's heartstrings. This was not an ordinary concert, It was a momentous occasion that held the potential to captivate audiences not only in person but also through the live-streaming platform, the biggest in the entire country.
As an idol, Maria understood the importance of putting her fans first. Their unwavering support and love were the driving force behind her career, and she felt a deep sense of responsibility towards them.
With this in mind, she realized that checking the progress of the concert was not just for her own sake but also for the sake of her fans.
“Are you that busy? Well, just forget about it, then. I'll give you the feedback after the concert," replied Jeremy, seeming downcast.
“Well, I should be able to squeeze some time for it... One hour? Is it enough for the rehearsal?" Maria remarked. She was determined to see the rehearsal.
A wide smile spread across Jeremy's face, reflecting the relief and excitement he felt.
Jeremy immediately made an appointment with Maria, eager to solidify the plans for the rehearsal. However, when he proposed to arrange a vehicle for Maria, she politely declined the offer.
Maria turned to Anthony and remarked, “Can you do me a favor? I would like to have Jack as my driver."
In Maria's eyes, Jack was indeed an excellent driver.
Not only was he proficient in driving, but Jack also possessed a remarkable sense of direction, almost like a walking map. His knowledge of the city's streets and shortcuts made him an invaluable asset, especially when it came to evading the relentless pursuit of paparazzi.
Given Maria's current popularity, she knew she would be one of the prime targets for tabloid journalists.
