“OK…enough talking. Today is Emma’s birthday. After breakfast, go wherever you guys need to go, I need to return to Miller Corp. for a meeting.”
“Mom…are you getting used to being in charge at Miller Corp.?”
“Your mom did, after all, study finance. Although I haven’t worked for many years, my knowledge is still there. It’s just…” Bertha suddenly paused and took back her words, “Don’t worry, if there’s something wrong, I’ll let you know.”
Actually, Emma didn’t have any real birthday wishes. In fact, it didn’t really matter to her whether it was her birthday or not. She was already satisfied with last night and this morning and didn’t want her two most loved people to continue making a big fuss over it.
After breakfast, Bertha left. Eric then got Luke to bring over all the presents that fans had mailed to the agency.
Eric’s social media page was also filled with messages from fans.
6pm. Eric and Emma arrived at the award ceremony wearing simple clothes and sunglasses.
The couple sat in the VIP section but kept a low profile. As the hall was dimly lit, not many fans recognised them…
Meanwhile in the backstage, Herman was also making preparations. However, within the same waiting room, the three boys from K&G were looking at the back of Herman with a sneer.
Herman was to appear on stage after K&G during the same part of the ceremony. Their appearances were only separated by a few minutes.
Just before the ceremony started, Herman sent Emma a message, “Sister Three, I assume you couldn’t make it, right?”
Emma took a selfie of her and Eric in the audience and sent it to Herman, “Your brother-in-law has made an exception for your sake. No other singer has had the ability to make him personally appear in the audience.”
“Pffft, it’s because of you, not me. Either way, happy birthday!” After sending his message, Herman saved the photo and put away his phone to prepare for his performance.
Although he had already debuted…this was his first appearance at such a big event, so he was a bit nervous…
“Hey, don’t you guys think the two people sitting in the first row of the VIP section look a bit familiar?”
“Where?”
A fan started looking around.
“What normal person would wear sunglasses and a hat at night?”
“Quick, look at those legs…Could that be Emma?” someone guessed. But, because of their distance, they weren’t 100% certain. “The person next to her looks like Mr. Roborts…they must have come here together.”
“Forget it, what kind of event do you think you’re at? Out of the two of them, one is the Big Boss of the entertainment industry and the other is a famous model. It wouldn’t make sense for either of them to come to a small music award ceremony like this.”
“I guess I must be seeing things then.”
…
A little while later, the awards ceremony officially started. The host was a witty speaker and quickly stirred the audience into fits of laughter. As for the awards like the Top Ten songs and best male and female singer, these were the upcoming highlights for the night.
Singers, actors and models were no different: they all needed exposure at different events so the audience could remember them and grow to like them. For singers, this started from guest appearances and small performances at events. Just like the fans had hinted earlier, the awards ceremony today was not very big nor significant, so there was no way someone like Eric would take note of it.
But, this stage helped boost the dreams of many newcomers…
“K&G, time to prepare for going on stage,” their manager said as he pushed open the waiting room door.
“OK,” the three boys had on thick makeup and studded jackets. As they were to sing and dance on stage, they looked extra stylish.
In comparison, Herman was dressed a lot simpler because he was to sing a slow song.
The three boys glanced at Herman and left the room. Herman did not suspect anything, he was simply a little nervous about going on stage.
“Lafayette, you will be heading on stage soon. Hurry over to the backstage,” his manager patted him urgently on the shoulder as he held onto his phone, “Do your best, don’t be nervous. Act like you normally do and you’ll be fine.”
Herman nodded his head as Emma’s confidence on the runway suddenly came to mind…
A moment later, he was waiting in the backstage…
…
“This year we have been blessed with some great new talent. First we had the popular boy band K&G and then we were introduced to the unique voice of Lafayette. Next up, let’s hand the stage over to Lafayette: a youngster with a passion for the stage…”
As soon as the host’s words left his mouth, the lights on the stage dimmed. All that could be seen were the twinkling of light sticks in the audience which resembled a sea of stars. Although there were only a few people within this audience who were here to cheer for him, the light sticks looked like they were all twinkling for him.
A soothing melody started playing as Lafayette appeared in the middle of the stage and the spotlight focused on him. He suddenly felt a little nervous…
Emma and Eric also felt a little nervous because of his frozen exp**ssion.
Could the brother that constantly begged to enter the entertainment industry…be suddenly struck with stage fright?
“Eric…What should we do?”
“Do you know this song?” Eric asked.
“Is it called ‘Far in the future’? Yes, I know it,” Emma nodded. This was an inspirational classic. Back when she was in France, she often sang this song to encourage herself.
“Then, you should go on stage and help him!” Eric suggested firmly.
“Huh?”
“Go.” After speaking, Eric pushed her to stand up. Emma was in the first row, so with her height, as soon as she stood up everyone turned their attention and started cheering.
With no other choice, Emma walked onto stage and removed her hat and sunglasses. She then approached Herman, took the microphone from his hand and started singing along with the melody.
Herman was shocked…
Everyone was shocked.
The audience immediately erupted in discussion.
“Is that Emma?”
“Yes it is! Who would have thought, someone at her caliber, would come show her support.”
“What’s so weird about that? Kaleidoscope’s artists have always supported each other. It’s quite reasonable for Emma to make an appearance.”
