Chapter 56 - 56: It Made Her Feel Free

Sophia was just about to go home when the phone rang. It was Pearson.

"Hello, Miss Green. I'm in the KTV near your school. Are you available now? I want to hear you sing!"

"Does it count as a good deed? Can I get points?"

"What?"

"Forget about it. I'm available. I'll come over now!"

Sophia called her mother to tell her she would be home late, and she went to the KTV by bike.

As she entered, she noticed that the KTV seemed different. It seemed that it had been remodeled.

"Did you redecorate it?" Sophia asked the waitress.

"Yes. We've got a new boss, and he ordered it. It's just finished. You're one of our first customers!"

Sophia followed her to the room. As she passed the rooms, she saw that they were all empty.

"There are so few people today," Sophia said questioningly.

This KTV was close to Colin High School. Usually, the students would head there on a Friday evening. It should have been full of students coming here to relax and unwind. How come there wasn't a single guest here? It was usually packed.

The waitress smiled, "Maybe it's because we just decorated it, and we were shut for a few days."

She opened the door for Sophia and politely backed away.

As soon as the waitress left the room, she nodded to the hostess, who promptly turned the sign on the door to 'closed.'

The waitress leaned over to the hostess and whispered, "What do you think our new boss has to do with that student girl? I think he bought the KTVbecause of her, and he hasn't even told her."

"Wow, this is the way rich people chase girls?! Well, it works for me. It makes our job so much easier!"

"He's really hot! Do you think he might like me?"

"Whatever. He's obviously really into that girl."

"That girl is really cute."

"Cute?! Haven't you been here for ages? Don't you know who she is?"

"No, who is she?"

"She's the boss at Colin High School, and she literally seems to run the school. Sophia Green? Our boss's taste is pretty interesting."

Pearson was singing as she entered the room. Sampson was standing there, clapping and cheering from time to time. He was yelling, "Good job.Mr. Pearson!"

Pearson glanced at him with a little disdain and just carried on singing.

The rooms were completely different from before. The new decoration was simple and elegant. It made the room feel more fresh and natural.

Sophia loved it.

Pearson's voice was very good. Sophia sat down on the sofa and listened quietly. After singing two songs, he stopped and handed the microphone to Sophia.

"Your turn."

Sampson hurried over to the machine, and politely asked, "What would you like to sing, Miss Green?"

"The songs I sang last time. I can only sing those songs."

After Sampson ordered the songs, she began to sing.

Pearson sat on the sofa and listened quietly. Sampson lasted two songs and then had to leave. It was twice as long as last time, and his endurance was getting better. If it went on like this, he would soon be able to get used to it completely.

Sophia didn't hate singing. On the contrary, she liked the feeling. It made her feel free. She didn't sound bad to herself, and she didn't sound bad to Pearson either. She sang with great passion.

After a few songs, she stopped, "Mr. Pearson. I should go home now." Sophia said.

"Yeah. I'll get you a car."

"Don't bother."

"Don't rush away!" Sampson said as he pushed the door open, "Mr. Pearson, Miss Green sang so hard, why don't you treat her to dinner? You must be hungry, Miss Green."

Sophia was a little hungry, but she shook her head, "No, I'll just go home to eat."

Sampson smiled, "Mr. Pearson and I haven't eaten yet either. Let's sit together, and we can go somewhere nearby. Mr. Pearson, surely you don't want her to go home hungry, do you?"

Pearson narrowed his eyes and glanced at Sampson, "You're very talkative today."

Ryan Sampson looked sheepish.

Pearson stood up and turned to Sophia, "What would you like to eat?"

Sophia was surprised and said, "Fish."

Then she remembered that her current identity was the high school student Sophia Green. She and Pearson were not as familiar as she had been with him once, and now she was just speaking her mind.

Pearson didn't seem to mind. He nodded, "Fine. Let's eat fish."

Ryan repeatedly nodded, "I'll make a reservation right now!"

He was gone in an instant.

Sophia was surprised. He was really on the ball.

Moments later, when Sophia and Albert walked out of the KTV, Ryan was already waiting at the door, smiling, "There is a restaurant nearby. Their fish comes highly recommended. I have reserved a private room. This way, please..."

Sophia was very impressed with his efficiency.

The restaurant was not far away, and the three of them soon arrived.

The restaurant was so full that the foyer was full of guests, and there was a queue out the door. As soon as Ryan Sampson opened the door, a waiter greeted him and said with a smile, "This way, please!"

She led the way and brought the three a very tastefully decorated private dining room.

As they walked, she asked Ryan curiously, "There are so many people here. How did you reserve a private room at such short notice?"

Sampson looked proud, "It's a talent of mine, a secret one!"

As soon as they entered the private room, Ryan gallantly pulled out the two chairs for Sophia and Albert to sit down. Sophia wondered whether he had done it intentionally, but the two chairs were next to each other.

Once the three had sat down, the waiter brought the menus.

"Our specialty here is fish. If you have any other preference, do let us know."

"I'm not picky… Miss Green, are you happy with fish?" Albert turned to Sophia.
