Chapter 219: He's Alone

Soon, Casey received a message from her good friend: “Casey, there’s big news!”

Big news? Casey was full of anticipation: “What is it?”

This close friend always had a knack for sharing rare news. However, only those close to her had the privilege of receiving such insider information. Back then, Casey had put in a significant amount of effort to become friends with her. I wonder what she’s going to reveal this time…

The friend: “This is breaking news! Your favorite singer will be going to a karaoke lounge for a solo rehearsal, and the entire session will be just him alone!”

Casey: “Huh? Is this really true?”

Casey’s heart began to race. She indeed had feelings for Jesse, but she wasn’t a fool either. A wealthy scion like Jesse would undoubtedly have bodyguards around him. If she were to recklessly barge into that place and he were to mistake her for someone hostile, her plan would go awry. Therefore, she had to give the matter more thought.

The friend: “Of course it’s true! Oh dear, aren’t we friends? Why would I deceive you?”

Despite her friend’s enthusiasm, Casey felt apprehensive about the idea.

Casey: “Let’s just forget it… I’m not close to Jesse. What if I give him a bad impression and he dislikes me going forward?”

The friend: “Sigh, there’s only a limited number of slots for the karaoke lounge. If you really don’t want to go, I’ll find someone else, alright? Catch you later.”

Upon reading the reply, Casey was momentarily taken aback. She was flustered, hastily typing out a line of text and sending it off: “What do you mean by limited spots? Are these spots predetermined by Jesse?”

The friend replied: “Yeah, Jesse really spoils his fans! He only released three spots, saying that they could meet him individually at a karaoke lounge. Plus, he would even fulfill some minor requests from fans, like taking pictures or giving autographs. As long as it’s not too excessive, I believe he wouldn’t refuse.”

Casey bit her lip, feeling as if it was a dream come true. If what she said is true, I still can’t believe I would be this lucky to have such an opportunity.

Chapter 219: He Is Alone

The very idea of befriending such a prominent influencer was already beyond belief, let alone being considered a close confidant by them. It was something she didn’t even dare to dream about.

After some hesitation, Casey finally voiced her doubts: “You have so many fans, why did you choose me?”

The friend: “Huh? What are you talking about? I thought that after spending so much time together, we were best buddies. Turns out, I’m the only one who thought so. This is heartbreaking.”

The friend sent a crying emoji, looking truly wronged. A hint of warmth surged through Casey’s heart. So, that’s what this is… She felt incredibly embarrassed for doubting her friend.

Casey: “I was just a bit puzzled, that’s all. Don’t be upset. Next time, I’ll send some gifts in your livestream to make it up to you, alright?”

The friend: “That’s more like it.”

Casey: “Um… which karaoke lounge is it? Do they have a dress code?”

Casey bombarded her friend with a slew of detailed questions. She couldn’t help feeling nervous, for this was the first time she would get to meet her idol. In the past, Jesse would only prioritize signing autographs for his biggest fans. By the time it was her turn, the signing event had already concluded. A few bodyguards barred her from approaching, not allowing her to get anywhere near Jesse. After all the trouble she’d gone through, she finally had the chance to meet her idol. She knew she had to seize this opportunity.

Casey mustered her courage, and then, following her friend’s advice, she slipped into a simple yet stylish dress and carefully applied light makeup. If it was laid on too thick, Jesse might have been repelled by her. This is good. At a casual glance, no one could tell that she had put on makeup.
