My Extraordinary Wife

It was often said that accompanying one’s sovereign was like accompanying a tiger. In that case, Mr. Field was both the sovereign and the tiger of Riverdale.

Mrs. Field was starting to feel a bit awkward as well. She opened her mouth, planning to smooth out the situation when a cold female voice rang out.

“Don’t you worry, Charles. If you put me in charge of the celebrations later, I can promise you that it’d be a night to remember.”

Mr. Field raised an eyebrow. “What are you planning to do?”

Ashlyn tilted her head slightly. Her gorgeous eyes twinkled like crystals under the LED lighting, almost blinding whoever was looking at her.

“The name ‘Madeline Saunders’ must be a magnet for many people. However, the other performers’ efforts are all going to be buried under that glaringly bright name. They’ll be ignored by the audience; their efforts forgotten. You can use her name to bring in one audience’s attention, but will you be able to do that next year? What about the year after that?”

Her words made complete sense and sent them into deep thought.

James Field couldn’t help himself. “Please continue.”

Ashlyn paused before saying, “What we need is an event that will totally blow the entire audience’s minds. It has to be memorable enough that it will sear Lake City and our performers into everyone’s minds forever. Then they’ll definitely be looking forward to next year. Our views will only come with detailed planning, not from making a one-time attention grabber.”
