Chapter: 179
"Do you think I'm a naive teen, easily deceived? You're the one who should be cautious with men."
"I'm Joanna Andrews. Who could possibly hurt me?" Joanna declared confidently. She ordered a cocktail at the bar counter and took a sip. “If I didn't have more training, I'd stick by your side."
“Alright. I trust the training you have undergone. Just concentrate on building up yourself."
"Got it. I'm on it." Joanna nodded seriously. Norah was special to her.
After a while, Joanna said awkwardly, "Promise me that even if you're interested in someone, you'll be cautious. Make sure he's a good guy."
Norah found Joanna's words amusing. Since the start of her divorce from Derek, Joanna has been concerned about her, wanting her to find a boyfriend while fearing she might be hurt. Well, Derek was indeed a jerk whom Norah regretted marrying and spending time with.
"Alright," replied Norah.
Noises emanated from the first floor, indicating the start of Rosy Secret's performance.
Norah peered out and concluded her deep connection with Rosy Secret.
Each visit to the Glamour Club granted her the opportunity to witness their performances.
Upon hearing the calls for Rosy Secret from downstairs, Joanna couldn't resist inquiring, “Norah, have you considered what to do with them? They're despicable, having stolen your work and kicked you out without a hint of remorse! A lesson for them is in order!"
Recalling Rosy Secret's actions and words toward Norah, Joanna felt an urge to confront them physically.
Right then, Norah thought of Kris, the band's lead singer, a talented but reserved woman. Kris had reached out to Norah, finally knowing the true reason for Norah leaving the band after a talk.
Kris later messaged Norah. "Since you've departed, there's Little incentive for me to remain in the band. I'll be resigning shortly."
Kris, unaware of Emerson and the others' actions previously, chose to leave the band after gaining the truth of Norah's leaving. Kris‘ message demonstrated her viewing Norah as a friend.
“Joanna, doesn't your family own an entertainment company? Rosy Secret's lead singer wishes to depart. You can sign her. She has a promising future," Norah suggested.
Kris was undoubtedly talented, and Norah didn't want Kris to quit music because the band mistreated her.
Joanna replied, "Yes, but that company is closing soon. The Morris family is dominant in the industry, and Spencer's father's entertainment company represents many top artists. I'm confident they can make her famous."
Norah appeared uncertain. “I'm not well acquainted with the Morris family. I trust you more."
Joanna reassured her, “Don't worry. They own a large company and are fair."
Joanna, feeling a twinge of jealousy, questioned, "Who is Kris, and why do you care so much about her?"
Norah smiled. "She's a genuinely kind person."
Joanna, avoiding hearing Norah praise other women, changed the topic.
"Norah, so, what's your plan regarding Rosy Secret?"
