Chapter 55 Serious Men Are Charming

Kirk walked directly up to Marion and assessed her from head to toe. “Is your leg injured?”

Marion felt embarrassed. “No, it’s not injured. I had a fracture, and the doctor suggested rest, so I had

no choice but to use a wheelchair.”

Kirk clicked his tongue. “You should have told me. I would have sent someone to pick you up.”

“It’s alright. My family driver brought me here.”

“Okay.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kirk got straight to the point. “You arrived just in time. We were

about to start!”

As he watched the friendly banter, Kirk’s manager looked increasingly displeased. Before he could say

anything, Kirk introduced her. “Marion was the winner of last year’s International Tchaikovsky Award

and has been specially invited to play as the pianist for my new album!”

Upon hearing that, the manager’s expression changed drastically. He enthusiastically approached

Marion. “Hello, Miss Marion! I’m Bruce Price, Kirk’s manager! Your name is well–known in the industry!

Kirk told me about inviting you to accompany him on the album. I thought he was joking, but here you

are!”

Those familiar with the International Tchaikovsky Award knew its significance. Bruce’s sister was a

piano major, and Marion was the only female pianist in Mystara to have won the Tchaikovsky Award.

Bruce’s words were not mere flattery. Marion deserved his admiration.

Realizing his previous demeanor, Bruce quickly apologized, “Miss Marion, please forgive me. Kirk has

quite a few crazy fans, and I misunderstood you earlier!”

Marion did not mind. “Hello, Mr. Price.”

Seeing that she was not angry, Bruce breathed a sigh of relief. Artists‘ temperaments were often quite

peculiar. Bruce’s attitude toward Marion made a complete 180, and the other staff followed suit and

greeted Marion with smiling faces.

The instructor from the recording studio came out to urge them to hurry, which prompted Bruce to let

Kirk and Marion enter the studio.

Kirki recorded his song, while Marion recorded the accompaniment in a separate

recording room.

Kirk had high standards for his album. While other artists might have used synthesized piano

accompaniments, he preferred to spend money to bring in someone like Marion.

It was not Marion’s first time recording. As she was led into the recording room, a considerate staff

member provided her with a blanket to cover her feet. The recording studio was cold, and Marion was

wearing an ankle–length dress that day.

Marion’s recording went smoothly. During the first take, she felt her emotions were not quite right, so

after a short break, she began the second take. In the second take, she immersed herself in the piece,

which produced a fantastic result.

While Kirk’s recording was still ongoing, Marion listened to her recording, confirmed there were no

issues, and then headed to Kirk’s recording room.

Through the soundproof glass, she watched him inside.

Kirk debuted when he was younger and was a singer with excellent songwriting abilities. Over the past

few years, he almost single–handedly dominated the Mystara music industry.

He also possessed an exquisite look. He skyrocketed to fame upon his debut, and over the years, Kirk

maintained a consistent output of albums. He held a status akin to a king in the music industry.

“Isn’t it great?” Marion was lost in thought when someone gently tapped her shoulder.

She looked up to find Brue looking at her. He handed her a hot drink before he spoke. “After all these

years, his passion for music has never wavered. Despite his usual carefree demeanor, once he starts

singing, it’s like he becomes a different person.”

“Thank you.” Marion took a sip of her drink while she gazed at Kirk behind the soundproof glass. Then

she nodded in agreement at Bruce’s words. “Indeed.”

‘Serious men are charming,‘ she thought to herself.
