Pursuing Her

“I got it. Rest assured, you'll be like The Wheelers in the future.”

Sophie was somewhat aware of Ysabelle's career plan.

“Go and hang out with the others for a while longer. Mark and I still have some matters to discuss.”

“Okay.” Ysabelle was obviously more than glad to hear that.

She readily approached the other band members. As they hung out, Sunny and the rest taught her how to perfect her singing skills.

Ysabelle paid full attention.

When she grew exhausted, she sat down below the stage with sweat beading on her forehead. Sunny then handed her a tissue.

“Sunny, how is Mark feeling?” Mark must've confessed to Sophie last night! But there probably isn't a good outcome since the person Sophie likes is Uncle Tristan.

“Let's not talk about that. I'm sure Mark will meet a girl who loves him wholeheartedly in the future.”

Sunny did not ramble on that topic since he thought there was nothing anyone could do to change how one romantically felt toward another person.

“He must be feeling horrible, isn't he?” She asked that question purely out of sheer concern. After all, Mark was her favorite singer.

“He seems fine on the outside, but he probably doesn't feel that great deep inside.” The members were well aware of Mark's feelings toward Sophie.

How can he possibly not be heartbroken after getting rejected by the girl he loves? It's just that he probably doesn't want anyone of us to worry for him since he has always been taking up the task of caring for us.

“So, does he hope for Sophie to completely disappear from his life?”

Sunny stared at her as if he was looking at a lunatic.

“What are you thinking? Sophie is also a member of The Wheelers. How can she possibly leave?”

There's no way Mark will think that way. Even if there's no love between them, there's still friendship.

“I'm just worried that Mark will be upset when he sees Sophie.”

“He'll probably feel more upset if he doesn't get to see her.”

Ysabelle did not quite know how to react to that.

After all, she had never dated and barely had any personal experiences.

Meanwhile, Sophie briefly looked through the eleven songs in the new album.

“What do you think?” The band had been diligently making preparations while abroad, and included inside the album was a fair share of creation by every member.

“It's pretty good, but there are some parts that still need to be perfected.”

“Don't worry. We're still making some changes. It isn't the finalized version.” This is the first album we're releasing after parting ways with Clayton's company. It must be a success.

“Anyway, what do you think of your agent? Do you want to change to another one? I'll begin looking for other potential candidates if necessary.”

“There's no need. Jonathan has been with us since our debut. I think he's pretty good.”

“Jonathan is indeed a nice guy. He's even willing to leave Sky Media for us.” Sophie's company had yet to begin operations, and no one knew if things would work out. Nevertheless, the fact that Jonathan was willing to give up Sky Media was a testament that he was emotionally attached to The Wheelers.

“I'm done with the contract. I'll email you a copy tonight. You guys can have a look at it.”

She believed they should raise any requests they had since they were friends.

“Sure.”

“Since it's almost time, let's go and have a meal together if there's nothing else.”

“All right, everyone. Let's pack our stuff and head out for a meal,” said Mark to Ysabelle and the other members who were in the middle of practice.

With that, the group of seven went to a restaurant nearby.

The big group decided to dine at a pizza place.

They ordered around ten pizzas because Mark and the other guys in the group had a huge appetite.

Not only that, Mark had also ordered many meat dishes.

“Aren't you guys worried about your body figure?” Ysabelle was a little taken aback at the sight of the amount of food they ordered.

People in the entertainment industry, regardless of their gender, were generally particularly conscious about their body figures.

Barely anyone would indulge in a feast like that.

“Ysabelle, how dare you claim that you're a huge fan of ours when you don't know about this? Do you think there's a need for us to watch our diets given our figure?” Sunny proudly stated.

We love to sing, but that doesn't mean we have to give up enjoying our life, right?

“Are you sure about that, Sophie? Are you sure you want to sign the contract with a band that does whatever they please?”

Mark scooped a bowl of soup for Sophie.

“Finish this. What's wrong with you? Why does it seem like your appetite has gotten smaller?” She's eating way too little.

Mark was evidently not satisfied with Sophie's diet.

If truth be told, he did not know how to cook in the past.

However, since Sophie joined the band, he had gradually learned how to whip up dishes after learning about her poor diet. It eventually came to a point where he no longer ordered takeout.

Now that he saw how little Sophie was eating, he had the urge to cook for her again.

“I'm fine. Isn't it normal for girls to have a smaller appetite?” She had a poor appetite and could not eat much despite the table of delicacies in front of her.

“You know what, Sophie? You're skinny enough and have a good body figure. There's no need for you to lose any more weight.”

Ysabelle also nodded her head in agreement with Sunny's statement.
