“I see.” Tyler’s response came off as peculiar to Maestro Warner, but he did not press on the subject. Moreover, he was a foreigner and was not familiar with distinguishing the faces of another ethnicity.
“I’m extremely pleased with Miss Gloria’s skills, and I’m willing to give her the license to play my songs for five years. You know my name, so you know how I work. This contract is to remain confidential…so unrelated individuals will have to excuse themselves.”
Selene grabbed Gloria by the arm and said, “I practically grew up with Gloria, and I won’t breathe a word, so I can’t count as an unrelated individual, right?”
Gloria shot her a look of resignation. “I know you’re not.”
“It’s Mister Hart’s effort that brought Maestro Warner here, and since you’re close with Mister Hart, you won’t have him wait outside, right? Maestro Warner and Mister Hart seem to be good friends.”
Gloria glanced at Tyler and nodded, before turning to look at Vicky as well. “Vicky, you should stay as-“
Before she could finish, Selene interrupted her and said to Vicky, “Miss Vicky, please excuse yourself.”
“Selene.” Gloria frowned. “Whatever happened, Vicky is-“
“Mister Hart,” said Selene smilingly, “it’s not a problem for this lady to wait outside, is it?”
“Whatever,” Tyler said casually.
Selene thus walked over to Vicky and smiled smugly. “Miss Shaw, please leave.”
Vicky turned and left the room.
Because Gloria practiced her piano skills frequently and did not wish to disturb the neighbors, she rented a duplex studio. The first floor was her studio, and the second floor was a bedroom for her to rest in whenever she stayed up practicing for too long.
The discussion in the room went on for a long time after that because they needed to discuss each term.
Sometime later, the sky turned dark, and Vicky felt raindrops falling on her face.
She looked up and realized that it started raining.
Lightning pierced through the sky and as the sound of thunder echoed in the air, it started drizzling.
Though Vicky was under the roof, the wind blew the rain toward her direction. Not long after, her clothes grew slowly drenched.
She glanced at her watch and noticed that she had been standing outside for over an hour.
She turned her head and looked into the room through the window to find Gloria asking Tyler a question about the
document in her hands; Tyler listened attentively before nodding.
Gloria smiled and presented the document to Maestro Warner, while Selene organized the paperwork while chatting with Maestro Warner.
Everything seemed so peaceful.
Thunder shook the ground, and Gloria finally realized that it was raining.
“It’s raining.” She walked over to the window and saw Vicky standing under the roof. She frowned and turned to look at Tyler. “It’s pouring out there. Why don’t we let Vicky in?” Tyler did not respond.
