Chapter 195
She probably hadn’t gotten up yet. I replied to Edward and then switched to my alternate account. Jenny, Lily, Eloise, and Ella all messaged me.
I started checking them one by one.
Jenny asked, “Are you also at the media conference? Are you following Joseph? This scumbag! Why didn't you tell me in advance? Please reply to me. Don't act recklessly. I don't want you to get hurt!” She was anxious. “My dear, reply to me.”
She sent dozens of messages. I touched my nose, thinking she must have been worried sick yesterday.
I replied, “I'm sorry to make you worry. I recorded a voice message yesterday. I'll let you listen to it when I have time. Don't worry, I'll take care of myself.”
Next was the message from Lily. “Mighty Tiger, are you there? I've encountered some trouble again. I listened to your advice and tried to date him, but I feel like I'm not important to him at all! He ignores me every day. Yesterday, he was even with another woman! Do you think I should break up with him?”
My heart tightened. I thought, ‘Damn, it seems I've been neglecting her lately.’
I quickly replied, “Ask yourself, do you want to break up with him? Also, these days I've talked to him. He said he's been trying hard to make himself worthy of you!”
Just as I was about to send a third message, Lily replied, “I...I don't know. I'm so confused right now!”
Realizing she was indecisive, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed I still had some weight in her heart.
“Can you tell me where did you see him with another woman?” I texted.
Lily was at a loss for words.
She was talking about the incident at the media conference on the red carpet. I replied, “So that's what happened. He also told me about it. He asked a benefactor to help him get an invitation. As for holding hands, that was purely ceremonial!”
“He told you? Then why didn't he tell me in advance?” Lily continued.
“He said he wanted to surprise you as he wanted you to see his growth, but obviously, you misunderstood!”
Sometimes, what a third party said was more effective than what the person involved said.
“So, I misunderstood him?” Lily was confused.
“Yes, you definitely misunderstood him,” I assured.
The initiative returned to my hands. “He also told me about your last misunderstanding. Are you too nervous about him? Sometimes, you need to give him space and trust. That's the only way to go further.” I added.
“You know, I've never been in a relationship. I really don't know how to handle it. But I've been trying hard. Now it seems I've been too pushy. He told me the same thing last time, but I still get angry too easily.”
“You can tell him your true thoughts and let him understand your intentions.”
“Ah! No, I'll be shy. If I say that, he will be very pleased. My bestie told me that if I like a man, I have to keep him unaware of what I think!”
I thought, “Damn, who told her that? Jenny? Or that one called Eloise?”
“Your bestie has a point, but this method is only suitable when the other person is not your boyfriend yet. Love is like rowing against the current. Some people, while being kept in the mystery, end up being taken away by other women, you know?”
“If it's mine, no one can take it away. If not, I won't even think about it.”
“You're wrong about that.” I quickly typed. “Has he been getting better recently? Outstanding men are like beautiful women who always have people around them.”
“Well, there is indeed a flirtatious woman in the company who is pestering him and has a bad lifestyle. He shouldn't...”
“You see, I was right, so you should be more cautious. Although you've just started, what if he's the one who can be with you to the end? Do you want to hand him over? Do you want to watch him be taken away by other flirtatious women?”
“Mighty Tiger, can you teach me what I should do?”
“When it comes to feelings, it's all about being serious. I know you're a very proud person, but you can show some goodwill. He will feel your sincerity.”
“Show goodwill?” Lily was hesitant.
“I've given my advice. In the end, it's your matter.”
“Well, thank you. I'll think about it.”
Then there was Eloise’s message. “Sorry, Mighty Tiger. I've been busy with my solo concert these days!”
Solo concert?
It turned out that she was an artistic talent!
No wonder her social media was so old-fashioned.
The message was sent late last night with a rehearsal photo attached!
In the photo, she sat in front of the piano, wearing a black off-the-shoulder dress. Her elegant temperament almost overflowed from the picture.
Most importantly, her perfect features were captivating, really beautiful.
I swallowed, replying. “I didn't expect you to be a pianist. Where are you having your concert? I'll come to support you.”
After waiting for a while and not getting a reply, I opened Ella’s message. “John, sorry. I was too busy yesterday and forgot to give you the solution. Here is my handwritten solution. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.”
Below the message were several long videos. After opening them, Ella sat at her desk, carefully explaining to me, her voice incredibly gentle.
She melted my heart. As a great teacher, afraid that I wouldn't understand, she even sent me videos.
I checked the time the message was sent and found that it was at eleven o'clock last night. She was really a dedicated person, who could easily rely on her looks, but chose to utilize her talent.
“Thank you, Mis.Martinez. I understand this problem now.” After sending the message, I thought for a moment and typed. “Mis.Martinez, do you have any public classes in the next few days?”
It was past seven now, and she should be up by now. Sure, she quickly replied. “I don't have any classes in the next few days, but I have classes next Wednesday and Thursday.”
“Okay, I'll make sure to come early to secure a spot!”
She sent a smiling face. “Okay, I have to go to class now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
“Goodbye, Mis.Martinez!”
After I sent the message, Eloise replied. “Next Tuesday, at the Sevan City Opera House!”
Wow, only top-notch people in the industry could have concerts there!
Even someone who lacked artistic talent knew that Eloise was young but incredibly talented.
“Do you have time to come and watch? I can reserve two tickets for you.” Eloise invited.
Thinking that next Tuesday I should be free, I replied. “Thank you so much. I'll come over then.”
