Chapter: 132

Emerson, lounging on the sofa, replied casually, "Why worry? It's not like he has taken our spot. I'm not bothered by who he is as long as he's not in our way."

The lead vocalist of the Rosy Secret band, a lovely lady named Kris Dominguez, turned to Emerson and asked, “Emerson, is Starbeam calling quits?"

Coyle, losing patience, retorted, “Kris, you are annoying. How many times must I say it? I've mentioned before that Starbeam doesn't care about us anymore. Haven't you noticed? She at least had the decency to announce her leaving the band. Otherwise, we'd still be here, waiting for her foolishly. Does she think she's irreplaceable just because she writes songs? We're managing just fine on our own!"

Kris started to respond, but then, noticing other band members’ faces, she quietly looked down.

Starbeam had played a key role in forming the band. Their success owed much to her songwriting.

Following Zeke's song, the crowd offstage cheered eagerly, shouting, "Encore! One more song!" Zeke exited the stage along to the crowd's cheers.

Zeke carefully placed the guitar down and turned to Norah, asking, "So, how did I do out there? Did I meet your expectations?"

Norah complimented him, "You've got real talent. Did you write that song yourself?" It was unlike anything she had heard before.

Looking somewhat downcast, Zeke shared, "I came up with the melody, but the lyrics were a joint effort with my friends."

Norah's thoughts drifted back to her days with Rosy Secret. She was new to songwriting then. Even though the band members initially met online, they bonded over crafting tunes and rocking out together.

Later, they attempted to share videos of their performance on the internet.

Following a viral video, Rosy Secret skyrocketed to fame. Due to her marriage, she took a break from the band, and that was how things unfolded to this point.

Noticing Norah's distraction, Zeke asked, "Miss Wilson, now that I've performed, could you share what you have in mind for me?" Whatever she asked of him, he was ready to give it his all. Today, he had lived out his dream.

Norah ordered two glasses of wine, sliding one toward him. “Are you familiar with the band performing right now?"

Zeke glanced at the stage and responded, "Yes, Rosy Secret. They're quite famous. Pretty much everyone knows them Indeed, Rosy Secret had several hit tracks, often featured in short videos, earning them widespread recognition. As Rosy Secret started their performance, the audience's enthusiasm was unmistakable, with cheers erupting continuously. “Do you aspire to reach Rosy Secret's level of fame?" Norah asked.

Without a moment's delay, Zeke affirmed, “Absolutely. That's the dream I'm chasing."

Norah smiled and said, "Alright, I'll help you become a star. The first step you need is to get your band together."

"I've got a band!" Zeke interjected eagerly. “Just a call, and they'll all come running back. But how do you plan to make us famous?"

His tone carried more respect this time, contrasting with his initial question.

Lifting her gaze confidently, Norah revealed, “Because I am Starbeam."

“Starbeam?" Zeke echoed in astonishment. “Starbeam? The songwriter for Rosy Secret?"

Norah confirmed with a nod and said, "Exactly."

Zeke's eyes widened in sheer disbelief. Starbeam was a name any Rosy Secret follower would recognize as the creative force behind their biggest hits.

However, Starbeam seemed to vanish, and though Rosy Secret continued to release quality music, people gradually forgot about Starbeam.
