Chapter 2501
Rihanna Jensen gave Hannah Roland a searching look after her confession. Sighing under her breath, she stood up to circle Hannah before coming to stand in front of her.
“You look decent, and you’re in good shape, too. Sing me a song then,” Rihanna urged.
Singing was Hannah’s forte, a talent her parents had cultivated since she was a kid. They had spent a lot of money on their daughter to enhance her artistic skills.
Hannah quickly thought of a song, 'The Brightest Star'. She kept her gaze on the manager and started singing—
“Can the brightest star in the night sky hear the one who’s looking up and sighing with loneliness?
“Oh, can the brightest star in the night sky remember the person who used to be by my side?
“I pray for a vulnerable heart and eyes that are capable of tears.
“Give me the courage to believe and embrace you through the lies."
She sang every line and word with genuine passion.
Her voice was beautiful and powerful, like the voice of an angel.
Rihanna was mesmerized by her singing, feeling like she was looking at a future singing sensation.
She clapped enthusiastically after the song ended. “Well done! You have the voice of an angel. I’ve heard so many professional singers for the job, yet you’re still the best among them.”
Hannah smiled in pleasure when she heard her. “That’s too kind of you. Do I have a chance at the job?”
“Of course! You’re pretty and can sing well. I like you. We’ll pay you three thousand dollars per show in the evening. Normally, our singers perform three shows each night.”
Hannah was overjoyed and relieved at the same time. “Can I please make a request?” she asked hesitantly.
“Go ahead.”
“My mother has brain cancer and needs a lot of money to start the treatment. Can we sign a contract so that I can get half a year’s salary in advance? I'll commit to performing three shows a night for half a year, and I won't miss a single show, no matter rain or shine.
“We need a lot of money for the surgery,” Hannah confided softly after her lengthy explanation for her request.
She seemed desperate for money. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Rihanna considered it for a while. “You’d be earning nine thousand dollars for three shows a day. In a month, that’s at least 270,000! In six months, the total comes up to 1,620,000. You’re very new, and I don't even know you. How could I give you that much money? Why do you think you deserve my trust?”
“I think I deserve it because I can bring in huge crowds,” she replied with determination.
The pretty manager raised her brows and stared at her for a few seconds. “You’re pretty confident.”
“I’m capable of becoming a professional singer," she replied calmly. "If I become famous one day, I promise I won’t ask for a raise, and I won’t leave for better offers. I’ll work for you until you don’t need me anymore.
“You can include these terms in the contract. If I change my mind, you can claim some compensation for it. You get to decide on the compensation sum, too.”
Hannah genuinely wanted this deal to work out.
Moreover, she meant every word she said from the bottom of her heart.
Rihanna nodded satisfactorily after hearing this. She then looked searchingly at the young lady again. “All right, I accept your offer.”
Hannah didn’t expect her new boss to agree with her request this quickly. She was pleasantly surprised. “Really?”
Rihanna nodded.
“Aren’t you afraid I might be a con artist? What made you agree so soon?”
