Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 335:

Joanna scoffed and said, “You just threatened Norah and the members of the Dream! We all see through how folks from Rosy Secret act like thugs, assuming you can run the show at the Glamour Club!”

“Thugs? Where are they?” came another man’s voice.

Then walked in Spencer and Kaiden, their outfits making them appear refined.

Spencer turned to Norah and said respectfully, “Norah, glad to see you again! What’s the chat about? I overheard something about members of Rosy Secret doing whatever they want in the Glamour Club. Sounds absurd, doesn’t it?”

With Spencer’s arrival, Emerson lost his earlier arrogance, knowing all too well that Spencer was in charge of the Glamour Club.

“Mr. Morris, good evening! Oh, we’re just joking. We’re simply a band that performs here,” Emerson stammered. He couldn’t wrap his head around the sudden presence of so many big shots backstage at the Glamour Club. Bryson from the Andrews family and Spencer from the Morris family were both here. If he didn’t handle this well, Rosy Secret might struggle to perform here again.noveldrama

Then, turning to Bryson, Emerson bowed respectfully and said, “Mr. Andrews, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Please allow me to clarify.”

Although Emerson didn’t recognize Joanna in the wheelchair, he knew better than to offend anyone near Bryson.

“We’re about to perform, Mr. Morris If you enjoy it, please keep supporting us,” Emerson added, directing a seemingly earnest look at Spencer.

Emerson chose his words carefully, managing to smooth things over by speaking humbly to Bryson and Spencer. He tactfully avoided mentioning the backstage confrontation with the members of the Dream or the unkind remarks against Norah.

While Emerson steered clear of addressing the earlier confrontation, the members of the Dream weren’t inclined to let things slide. Zeke stepped forward and said, “Mr. Morris, you had approved our performance here. But today, Mr. Moran told us we can’t perform and even insulted our lead singer in front of everyone.”

Zeke openly voiced his grievances regarding Emerson’s actions.

In response, Emerson fixed him with a look of dissatisfaction. With a smile, Norah added, “Joanna labeled the members of Rosy Secret as thugs, and I agree with her on that. Are performances in the Glamour Club exclusive to just one band?”

The members of Rosy Secret lowered their heads. Yes, they did want to kick the Dream out of the Glamour Club, not wanting them to gain any more fans or popularity. They didn’t expect Norah to bluntly point out their intentions, leaving them embarrassed and at a loss for words.

Emerson recognized the bad situation and decided to handle it with flexibility. As the band director, he’d dealt with unexpected situations before, so he remained composed at their words. “Coyle likes jokes,” he said, attempting to ease the tension.

He didn’t mean any harm. “Didn’t he just apologize to you, Starbeam?” Emerson asked, attempting to smooth things over.

“I won’t accept his apology or forgive him. Furthermore, Coyle owes the members of the Dream an apology,” Norah replied evenly.

As Norah overheard Coyle’s and Emerson’s malicious words against the members of the Dream at the doorway, she was beside herself. Once she entered, Coyle and Emerson tried to feign innocence, acting as though they hadn’t said or done anything wrong.

Coyle quickly said, “Sorry about that. I can be a bit blunt sometimes. I really didn’t mean to say those harsh things.”

Phoebe, copying Norah’s tone, said coldly, “I don’t accept your apology.”

Other members of the Dream chimed in, “I don’t accept it either!”

Emerson sighed and asked, “What do you want then? It’s time for Rosy Secret to perform. We have fans waiting for us. You might not grasp the headache of having too many fans. The Dream has performed in the Glamour Club for days, but it seems you don’t have many fans.”

Emerson subtly teased the Dream for not having many fans, hinting that the Dream wasn’t as popular as Rosy Secret.
