Arlan chose to drive his new favorite car, the Bugatti Chiron. He went to the City Land Hotel to pick up Sofia. When he arrived in front of the building, she was already there.
Arlan got down the car under the envious gazes of many people.
"What a tall and handsome young man! Is he a model?"
"He looks like a famous star!"
The eyes of the ladies flashed upon seeing him stepping out of the car. Arlan was young and he was also driving an expensive sports car. He was the dream lover of many women.
Arlan ignored the people around him and walked towards Sofia. "Am I late?" He asked with a smile.
Sofia stared at the time on her watch and shook her head. It was 6 p.m. "You came right on time."
Arlan grinned and made a 'this way' gesture. "Let's go."
The ladies at the scene who wanted to strike up a conversation with him were disappointed when they saw Arlan chatting with Sofia.
After they entered the car, Arlan first checked if she had fastened her seatbelt. He then asked her. "By the way, how's your resignation? When can you go to the mansion to start working for me?"
Sofia told him that the management asked her to train the newly hired clerk for a month. "I still have to train the new girl. She already knows the basic duties, but she would sometimes forget a few things. She is quite smart so..."
Sofia entered into talkative mode after Arlan initiated the conversation. They haven't seen each other for a long time so she had a lot of things to tell him.
"...There are still 4 days before my training with her ends. By then, I can start working for you." Sofia was excited to work under him. After being away from Arlan for a few weeks, she would always think about him. She later found out that she actually liked Arlan. At first, she wanted to deny it, but when she saw his Instagram pictures, she became jealous after seeing that he was in Paris with a woman.
"That's good. There are a lot of things to do at the mansion and I can't let Jonas take care of them by himself. I'm sure he will be relieved if you start working with him." Arlan said while keeping his eyes on the road.
Sofia wanted to ask him about the girl he brought to Paris. She had seen that girl in Arlan's villa in the territory, but she wanted to know if there was something more to their relationship. "Arlan..."
"What is it?"
"The girl... The person having a concert tonight is a famous celebrity. You know about..." In the end, she couldn't bring herself to ask him about it. She was afraid that she would hear something that would break her heart.
"Eh? Andrea Brillantes is also in the concert? I haven't seen her in person."
The two didn't notice that they had already arrived at the Maharlika Arena. The place was packed with people and Arlan couldn't even get inside the parking area. He had to call a valet to help him park his car.
"Damn! There's a lot of people!" Arlan exclaimed in shock.
"Why are you surprised? There are many celebrities who are here to perform and everyone is here to watch them." Sofia laughed gently.
The ticket that Sofia bought was for the upper box section. They could barely see the performers. Luckily, there was a giant screen at the top.
Arlan was amazed by the experience. He didn't think that a live concert was actually so much fun. No wonder many people don't even hesitate to buy tickets just to watch their idols perform.
"I envy those people in the front seats. They bought the VIP tickets and they have the privilege to meet the performers in person after the concert." Sofia sighed.
"You want to meet those celebrities?"
"Who doesn't want to? It's my dream to meet them in person." Sofia replied.
Arlan remained silent. He then secretly contacted Renz De Guzman and asked him if he could pull some strings so that they could meet the performers of the concert. The guy later gave him a positive answer. This was Renz's message:
- I know the promoter of that concert. I already gave him a call. Just mention my name to that guy. He knows what to do.
Arlan praised Renz in his heart. The guy was so awesome and it only took one phone call from him to give them the opportunity to meet the celebrities.
"What are you smiling there for?" Sofia asked him curiously.
"You'll know soon." Arlan chuckled.
After the last performance, Arlan grabbed Sofia's hand and brought her to the backstage.
"Hey, wait! Only those with VIP tickets can go here." Sofia whispered into his ears.
"It's fine. Trust me." Arlan reassured her.
When they reached the backstage, two muscular guards stopped them. "Show us your tickets." One of them said.
"Tell the promoter that Arlan is here to speak with him. He knows who I am." Arlan felt a bit nervous. He would be embarrassed if they were chased in front of a lot of people.
The two guards furrowed their eyebrows upon hearing this, but they still nodded. Arlan looked like someone with notable background so they didn't want to offend him. "Alright. Wait here. I'll go and inform him."
"Arlan, can we really go inside?" Sofia was nervous since there were a lot of people watching them. They must have thought that they were trying to get inside without a VIP ticket.
"It's alright. They will be here soon." Arlan smiled at her, but his back was already covered in cold sweat. He knew that Renz wouldn't lie to him, but he couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
Not long later, the guard came back with a middle-aged man. "Which one is Arlan Dominic Roa?" He whispered to the guard.
The guard pointed at Arlan and said. "Sir, that's him."
The middle-aged man walked towards them and said while bowing his head. "Hello, Mr. Roa! Mr. De Guzman already informed me about your arrival. I apologize for making you wait."
