David paused for a second, his eyes meeting Arabella'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 letknow when you're close, and I'll cmeet 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 askedto 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 glanced at the well-behaved Arabella, a smirk playing 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 sgrub,” David said, still riding a wave of excitement, eager to take Arabella backstage.

But Arabella held her ground, “You go ahead to the soundcheck. Romeo and | 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 sfor my sis, okay? | gotta run through my set. How about | sing a couple of tunes for you

now?”

“We'll see what's good to eat,” Romeo said, slinging an arm around Arabella'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.

“Arabella, I'll take you backstage,” Jossie said after sending David's new song to Ms. Kiki's phone. She led Arabella and Romeo to

the backstage area, “Take your tlooking 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. | gotta check out the stage setup; the concert's about to start.”

“Okay,” Arabella 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 nof brotherly love,” Romeo said, poking a straw into a glass of iced tea and handing it to Arabella.

She took a sip and asked, “Aren't you having any?”

“Your brother toldto save sfor 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.

“Letintroduce you guys. This is my sister, Arabella, blood-related,” David said, tousling Arabella'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.”
