"Who?" Sheena looked up. She had finished her wake-up. She didn't care the dressing in this job, because she thought the audience came for her voice, not her appearance.
Mike cocked her eyebrows and said, "that Japanese man, remember?"
Since the last chat, Mike would get used to searching for him in the club when it's on business. And he had figured out that this mysterious man had always chosen to sit in a corner seat as long as it's available.
Sheena admired the man's perseverance. She didn't promise anything, but he had just come as he liked. The only reason for her behavior was either he was of strong perseverance or he was rich with money and time.
However, it's time for Sheena to get on the stage that Sheena wouldn't spare too much time in this. However, she would find a time to inquire to discover any possibilities for the future.
"By the way," right before Sheena left the dress-up room, Mike called out, "Eason had come."
Such a piece of news had really shocked Sheena. "Why?"
Although she had worked here for long and both of them didn't cover it from Eason Brook, Eason hadn't ever come here even for once.
"Maybe he is free to come now." Mike wasn't that shocked as Sheena that he just grinned and said with a mocking sense.
Although Sheena had ever had the karaoke activities with them, she was still embarrassed to sing officially in front of Eason Brook in such a place. That's a kind of weird feelings. Therefore, when on the stage, Sheena didn't come up with the performance level as usual.
[Come on, it's not a big deal, just calm down.]
[He didn't come. He didn't. Don't think about it.]
By compelling herself in this way, Sheena finally successfully calmed down herself and found back her status in performance.
Therefore, when she finished her show, the audience listening to her burst into applause. Sheena tried to find out where Eason Brook was, however, she only found the Japanese man sitting at the corner, who had toasted to her when finding she was looking around the club.
Sheena smiled as a response.
In fact, the bar was quite dark, but when Sheena almost gave up the searching, she suddenly caught sight of Eason Brook was just sitting in the eastern corner of the bar, listening to her carefully in a serious face.
When catching his glance at her, Sheena could feel her heart was going to pop out of her heart, because it was the first time for Eason Brook to look at her so serious, in other words, so obsessed.
Eason Brook stood up and lifted up a cup of cocktail, smiling gently as usual. Sheena smiled to him, with chest and head high.
Since she had the chance to show him what she was really like, Sheena decided to seize the chance to do it better. Therefore, in the rest of time, Sheena centralized on the singing and stopped noticing others' expression.
It's a long night, but also a wonderful night.
When finishing the songs and getting back to the backstage, Sheena could feel her heart was fulfilled with happiness and satisfaction. Coming to sing on this bar was a case of sudden chance. She did it to help Mike to operation at lower cost meanwhile get the chance of earning money by talent. She thought she was quite utilitarian, for she did this for mutual benefits, but it turned out that when she was singing on the stage, she could be totally immersed with the singing atmosphere and very delighted to see the audience under stage were also enchanted with it,
Maybe this could be counted as seeking joy amidst sorrow.
Of course, Sheena didn't have too much time for such an in-depth thinking moment, for not before long Mike Clinton and Eason Brook came.
They invited to have a night snack.
It's been a long time since the last time gathering together, therefore, they went to the restaurant that they frequently went to when back at the school.
"Oh, long time no see you guys." Mrs. Lim, the hostess of the restaurant, was surprised to see them coming together at such a late night.
All of them felt like going back home and welcomed by the mother. Back at the school time, when all of them were hard up, Mrs. Lim would always either give discounts to them or provide dishes with a larger volume than others.
"Dear Lim, yes, they've forgotten us since they left the school." Sheena made use of this chance to complain, making Mike Clinton and Eason Brook all burst into laughter for pissing-off by her.
"Heartless bastards!" Mrs. Lim nodded her head to vote.
"Something new to order or just the same dishes? Look at you, why are you thinner now? Don't you graduate and make money?" Mrs. Lim didn't get used to the slim body shape of Eason Brook and kept complaining for his gauntness. Since the very beginning, Mrs. Lim would show more attention to Eason Brook due to his hardworking in study and bill-paying style.
When they didn't graduate, Eason Brook and Mike Clinton would always come to have night snacks together with Sheena, although Eason Brook came from a richer family, Eason Brook would always be the one to stand out for bill paying. That's why Mrs. Lim would prefer to tease him more than them.
"Wow, Aunt Lim, didn't notice I'm thin too, look at my arms, so..." Mike Clinton envied and asked for mercy, however, he couldn't continue due to his current status. Maybe it's due to the abnormal catering and rest habits, Mike Clinton was gradually increasing weights. The fat and muscles on his arms were quite much...
Therefore, Mike Clinton was embarrassed to continue, so he stopped complaining his body shape but turned to Sheena, "look at Sheena, she looks more miserable."
All people on site turned to Sheena immediately and all noticed Sheena's thinness. Sheena was embarrassed to deal with such a situation.
Maybe the tough study tasks and the part-time jobs had overwhelmed her too much that recently she did lose weight at a sharp speed.
"Wouldn't you push yourself too hard?" Eason Brook stared at Sheena, with worry and sincerity in his eyes.
Mike Clinton looked at her but kept silence. From his eyes, Sheena knew he knew the reason and understood she wouldn't be willing to release these to Eason Brook. Therefore, Mike Clinton chose to keep silence on this and turned to Mrs. Lim, "Aunt Lim, please serve as many as dishes you can, this meal will be on me, since I'm a boss of a club, don't worry about the payment." With confidence and pride in his eyes, Sheena seemed to watch a general going up to the battlefield.
Sheena smiled to Eason Brook as a reply, "Don't worry about me, it's just too many homework and papers to complete. Later, later, after all of these finish, I will be alright." Sheena couldn't deny the current body form but she promised to pay attention to this aspect to avoid any accidents.
Eason Brook rested assured after Sheena made the promise.
Eason Brook claimed that he would spend more time in this city later due to the new project currently-launched, therefore, in the near future, they would have more chances to gather together. However, Mike Clinton didn't buy in what Eason Brook had said, he rolled his eyes at him and complained, "You now begin to realize how important we are?"
Eason Brook was silent for a second. Indeed, back in the days when Silvia was still his girlfriend, except the working hours, in the rest of time he would choose to stay with Silvia. Only when there was something official and needed he would agree to gather for news updating.
Witnessing the embarrassment of Eason Brook, Sheena patted on the shoulder of Mike Clinton, "Hey, what are you saying? It's good enough when now we're together, don't ever settle accounts afterwards!"
Twitching his mouth, Mike Clinton looked at Sheena and saw through her, "Lover worthier than friend, right?" Although he didn't point it out with words, he had shown his distain in his eyes.
It's Sheena's turn to be flushed.
"Huh?" Eason Brook was confused for Mike Clinton saying this to her not him, "what?" Eason Brook turned to Mike Clinton with the curiousness in eyes and the desire of getting the answer.
Seeing the begging in the eyes of Sheena, Mike smiled as the winner and denied, "Nothing big. Just remember you're the betrayer of us. Please treat us better in the future."
As a business man, Mike Clinton was really good at asking for benefits at the right moment.
Eason Brook was helpless but agreed, "Fine, it's all my fault, I'll pay the bill."
Successfully escaping from the danger of exposing, Sheena sighed and smiled in silence.
Soon all the dishes had came one after another under the help of Mrs. Lim, who had served them personally. At last, she even sat down to chat with them due to the few clients.
"Have you confessed to him?" when at the washroom, Mrs. Lim inquired Sheena, and Sheena was quite amazed that even the restaurant hostess had known such a case. Was she so obvious in behaviors? Of course, Sheena had denied it.
