Chapter 1276:

Jayden quirked an eyebrow, a playful challenge in his gaze. “Do I strike you as someone who reneges on promises?”

Elyse’s response came with a hint of skepticism, her lips curling into a half-smile. “That’s debatable.”

Peeking at his watch, Jayden’s tone took on a hint of seriousness. “Let’s have our chat tonight. I find the evenings more conducive to deep conversations.”

Elyse’s brows knitted in confusion. “Are you putting on an act? Since when do you care about the time for conversations?”

Before Jayden could answer, Driscoll returned bearing yet another raspberry delight. He placed it before Elyse with a flourish. “Elyse, a lady outside claims she’s your agent and insists on speaking with you.”

Frozen for a moment, Elyse checked her phone and noticed a missed message. She quickly directed, “Please, let her in.”

Driscoll nodded and disappeared momentarily, returning with the visitor.

The agent approached Elyse confidently, extending her hand. “Hello, I’m Chloe Jones. Mr. Owen has appointed me to manage your career. I’m excited to get started.”

Elyse shot a glance at Jayden, catching his subdued grin. Flustered, she diverted her gaze and replied softly, “Hello, I’m Elyse Lloyd. It’s nice to meet you.”

Chloe nodded, pulling out a well-worn notebook. “In preparation for your return, I’ve secured several commitments for you. We’re booked solid for the next three months.”

Elyse’s eyes widened in surprise. “Three months? Fully booked?”

“Yes,” Chloe assured her. “But I’ve scheduled plenty of downtime to ensure you’re well-rested.”

Feeling slightly overwhelmed, Elyse asked, “May I see the schedule for these events?”

Chloe handed over the notebook. As Elyse perused it, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Am I really expected to attend so many events?”

Chloe responded with a firm nod. “Indeed, and there are critical interviews lined up as well. Additionally, several musicians are eager to collaborate with you, depending on when you’re available.”

After reviewing the commitments, Elyse hesitated before inquiring, “Given my current level of fame, do you think a solo concert would be feasible?”

Chloe considered this for a moment before shaking her head. “Though you’ve been acclaimed internationally and have some recognition, your national profile isn’t quite there yet. I understand you’re keen on hosting a solo concert nationally, so I’ll prioritize enhancing your visibility. For the moment, these engagements are essential.”
