Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 44 Let Us Sing Together

“I suppose you could say that. We’ve just completed the shooting for the show, so I brought everyone over to relax for a bit,” the man replied in his usual gentle, soothing voice.

He looked so handsome that I found myself captivated in a matter of seconds.

“Did you come here with your friends?” Nicholas asked.

“Yeah, but I wandered a little too far away, and now I can’t find my way back…” I explained awkwardly. This is so embarrassing! I mean, losing my way in a karaoke bar? Come on, I’m an adult for goodness’ sake!

Had I bumped into Dominic instead, he would’ve teased me so much — I would’ve never heard the end of it. While Nicholas did none of that, what he said next surprised me greatly.

“In that case, how about you come to join me for a bit? We’ll go look for your private room later.”

Me? Join Nicholas? He said he came over after filming the show, so… Does that mean I will get to meet a few other stars too? Oh my god! This sounds so exciting… But wouldn’t it be awkward for a random stranger like me to just show up?

“Um… Are you sure it’s appropriate to have me over like this?” I asked nervously.

At my timid question, Nicholas broke into a hearty chuckle. “Why wouldn’t it be? It’s just a hangout session between colleagues, after all. Come on, let’s go!”

With that being said, I decided to join him.

There were a lot more people inside his private room than I had expected.

There were over twenty people, and they were also surprised to see Nicholas return with a random stranger.

The awkward tension left me so dumbfounded that I forgot to greet them; I simply stood next to Nicholas in silence.
