Chapter 54 So Cool
“Ah! Me! Pick me!”
The fans cheered even louder and wilder.
“Now, I wonder who will that lucky fan be?”
Darkness enveloped the bar, leaving only a beam of light shining down on Sophie.
“And there we have it! Our lucky fan today will be that stunning woman!”
Sophie was speechless.
“Oh, my God, Soph, you’re going to work with my idol! Ahhh! That is so amazing! You’ve got to get me an autograph, okay?” Ysabelle was beyond excited.
“Do you not want to go? If you don’t, we can leave now,” Tristan asked.
“It’s fine. I’ll do this for Ysabelle. It’ll be her birthday present.”
In the next moment, it was as though a miracle had happened because the fans parted ways and a clear path magically appeared in front of Sophie.
“Shall we?”
The ladies screamed in delight when they saw Mark extending the invitation gracefully.
“Shh…”
Mark signaled the others to calm down.
The fans had always listened to him, so the place turned silent a moment later.
Mark led the way and brought Sophie up onto the stage. However, Sophie had no intention of singing at all. She walked toward the band and whispered something into the drummer’s ears. The drummer stood up immediately after to let her have his seat.
Mark grabbed the microphone, walked to Sophie, and greeted her.
“It’s been a while since we last saw each other.”
Sophie ignored him. D*mn, this guy is still as immature as ever.
Mark nodded to the other members of the band.
“I didn’t realize that Sophie knows how to play the drums,” commented Felix, who was rather surprised.
“Neither did I.”
The music played, and Sophie turned to Mark. Their eyes locked before their performance began.
Sophie spun her drumstick in a way that made her look cool.
The lights landed on both Mark and Sophie.
When Sophie played the drums, her style was so breathtaking that every move she made stirred Tristan’s heart.
Tristan rarely went to concerts, but the way Sophie played the drums at that moment… She was mesmerizing, and for a moment there, he felt as though that drum set was perfect for her. It was almost as if she was born to be a drummer.
Many fans were unhappy at the beginning when they weren’t chosen as the lucky fan and couldn’t hang out with Mark. After seeing Sophie’s performance, however, everyone was pacified.
They thought that the lucky audience member was cool and worked perfectly in sync with Mark.
The song was over soon. Sophie put the drumsticks away and planned on getting off that stage right away.
“Let’s have dinner together,” invited Mark.
“I’m busy.”
“You’re still as cool as ever,” commented Mark. He couldn’t help smiling at that. “But I don’t care. I’ll be leaving Jipsdale in a few days for my tour, so you must have dinner with us.”
“Is that a threat?”
“No, I wouldn’t have the guts to do so. The band can’t afford to lose you.”
“Mark, I’m sure you know this, but I only joined the band for fun. I never intended to make a career out of this.”
“I know. That is why I’m asking you to have dinner with all of us sometime. For old time’s sake,” said Mark. He never overstepped or pushed her.
“Fine.”
Eventually, Sophie agreed to go to dinner with him.
Back then, she joined Mark’s band because she was bored. Their band happened to be looking for a drummer, so she auditioned for the role.
“Give me an autograph. My friend’s a huge fan.”
“Not a problem.”
As a prank, Mark signed his name on her coat.
Sophie walked down the stage and made her way back to Tristan.
“Let’s go home.”
