âOh, donât worry, Iâve already arrived at the parking lot. You should get ready now.â âAnna, thereâs a parking space over there.â
Ryan interrupted her. âYeah? Where is it?â
Immediately after seeing the space, Anna turned the steering wheel and said, âHey, sorry, Iâm going to hang up. Iâll call your assistant after I get in.â
âOkay.â Scott said, and his voice echoed in the car.
Anna pulled Peaceâs car into that parking space. Then, she went straight backstage with Ryan and Tammy.
Scottâs assistant was waiting for them right at the door. As soon as he saw them, he looked relieved.
As he showed them the way to the dressing room, he said, âOh, Anna! Thank god youâre here! Scott has been asking if you have arrived for the last two hours. You know, he even wanted me to wait for you here at noon. He was worried that you would go to the wrong place.â
Anna felt a little bemused and said, âWhy? How could that be? Itâs his first concert. How can he be distracted and not focus on practicing? If he keeps doing it, I wonât come here next time.â
At that moment, two people carrying props in front of them walked past quickly. The microphone in their hands almost hit her face.
Luckily, Ryan pulled her away in time.
Scottâs assistant went pale with fear. He scolded them immediately, âHey, you, be careful! You canât afford to hurt her or the prop.â
Anna immediately said she was okay. She understood that the concert was about to start and people were busy getting ready for it, and there was no need for them to quarrel over such a trivial matter.
She looked back at Tammy with worry. And she was about to tell Ryan to protect Tammy when she noticed that he had already picked her up.
Ryan was holding Tammy in his arms.
Seeing that, Anna froze for a moment. Her first impression of Ryan was the terrified look he had when he had woken up in the hospital after being hit by her. After that, Anna had always assumed he was a simple and innocent young man who didnât know much about the world.
She found it strange that he acted so mature even if his memory hadnât returned.
Anna thought that maybe he was supposed to be like that. But then, she couldnât help but think, how can Ryan be so mature as he is still a young adult? What has he been through?
âItâs too crowded here, so Iâd better take Tammy to the front â Ryan said, bringing her back to her senses Anna nodded and said, âYes, thank you. Iâm going to have a quick word with Scott, and then Iâll meet you. Is the concert going to start soon?â
The assistant glanced at his phone and said, âYes. Itâs about to start in ten minutes.â
Ryan carried Tammy to the auditorium, and Anna followed the assistant into the dressing room âWhereâs Scott?â Anna asked when she saw that the stylists, makeup artists, and his agent were all in the room, but he was not.
âHe just went to the bathroom. He should be back soon.â The agent said.
He smiled warmly at the sight of Anna and said to her, âHave a seat, Anna. Whereâs little Tammy?â
âI sent her to the audience. Itâs too crowded here and Iâm afraid sheâll get lost.â
People in Scottâs studio were familiar with Anna. His agent and assistant had followed him throughout when he filmed his travel variety show before, so they were all particularly fond of Tammy Although Wayne always said that he didnât like Scott, he arranged the best team and maximum publicity for him. Scott had only made his debut a few months ago, and his tickets for this first solo concert sold out quickly.
Thinking about this, Anna felt a little proud and even forgot about her argument with Wayne at noon.
âSorry, lady, you canât get in.â âWhy? Do you know who am I?â A womanâs voice came from the doorway. Everyone looked to the door. Then, the door was opened.
A huge bouquet of pink flowers entered the door first, which blocked the face of the person holding it âSurprise! I hope your first concert would be a great success!â The woman said in a sweet voice The manager immediately frowned, âWhat the hell? Who is she? Who let her in?â
The security guard standing next to the woman said nervously, âShe barged in when we werenât paying attention. She said she was Scottâs sister, and we couldnât stop her.â
The agent immediately became speechless and irritated. He said, âWhat? Scottâs sister is Sitting right here! Get rid of that woman.â
When the person behind that bouquet heard the agentâs words, she immediately put down the fiowers Then, her expression changed the moment she saw Anna. She exclaimed, âAnna? Why are you here too?
The agent froze and hesitantly asked, âAnna, do you know her?â
Anna was slowly drinking her coffee She smiled perfunctonly and said, âWell, we kind of know each other Ama knew that woman was Allie when she just heard her coquettish voice While she got goosebumps, she wanted to see how Alle would barge in without Scottâs invitation âWhat? What do you mean we sort of know each otherâ Allie said as she placed the bouquet of flowers on the couch After looking around the room and noticing Scott wasnât there, she immediately got angry and said, âAnna, youâre so ungrateful. Have you forgotten about me? Why didnât you say you âsort of know me when you were asking dad for that house?â
When she finished, the people around her knew who she was. They whispered about what she was saying Anna looked at her indifferently and said, âItâs not like that. I really canât say I know you when you broke in here so shamelessly.
Donât embarrass Scott, okay?â
âYou...â
Allie became very angry and said sarcastically, âHey, Iâm the one who is supposed to come here. I grew up with him, so how is it possible that I embarrass him? Look at you, you left the country after you got married and came back with a daughter. None of us know who her father is. I know you think that youâre rich since you are gonna be Ms. Wright. What do you have to brag about?
Youâre also gonna be a stepmother to his son.â
Anna clenched her fist. One of the things she hated most was hearing people talking about her children. It was a good thing Tammy wasnât there at the moment; if she had been, Anna would have punched Allie immediately.
âAllie, my sister, my personal life doesnât seem to have anything to do with this, does it?â Anna said the word âsisterâ heavily, as if for emphasis.
She then said, âBut, everyone knows how you feel about Scott. Arenât you afraid your man will get jealous about this?â
Allieâs face turned pale when she heard what Anna said. âWhat are you babbling about?â She said. How did she know this? Allie thought.
