Chapter 193
Moira didn’t know if Barclay had insomnia, but she didn’t sleep very well all night.
The phone rang, and Moira struggled for a while before reluctantly answering it.
“Just woke up?” A man’s voice came from the other end of the phone, and Moira found it somewhat familiar but couldn’t remember who it was for a moment..
She asked, “Who is this?”
The man said, “Ms. Jimenez, it seems you’re indeed busy. Last time, you mentioned I could contact you again about some gigs.”
Moira had just woken up, and her mind was still a bit sluggish,
But at this moment, she had already remembered who it was. “Felix?”
Felix replied, “Congratulations, Ms. Jimenez. You guessed right
Moira frowned, the last remnants of sleepiness dissipating. “Do you need something?”
Felix said, “Of course. I have a tour next month, and the first stop is in Arnelo. I need piano accompaniment for two songs…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but Moira understood,
A tour…
Moira hesitated only for a second and declined. “Sorry, you’ll have to find someone else for this.”
Felix added, “The compensation is generous.”
I
Moira sat up in bed. “it’s not about the money, you know. I’m married now. I can’t be too high–profile!”
Barclay was an awesome fake husband. So, how could she, his fake wife, let him down?
Barclay was so supportive last night when he appeared like a savior. How could she turn around and become Felix’s concert guest?
They already had rumors circulating once. It wouldn’t be appropriate to collaborate again.
Felix chuckled. “Well, it seems that 600 thousand dollars will go to someone else.”
Moira immediately exclaimed, “Wait! Did you just say 600 thousand dollars?”
Felix replied, “I applied for a budget of 600 thousand dollars for the guest performers at this concert, and my company approved it.”
Moira v
was shocked.
She asked, “When is your concert next month? Which two songs need piano accompaniment?”
Felix returned the question, asking, “Do you have any candidates?”
14:24 Wed, 3 Jul MM.
Moira hesitated. “What do you think of me?”
Her words made Felix laugh, and he laughed for five seconds before stopping. “Ahem, didn’t you say I should find someone else?”

Moira touched her warm ear and jokingly said, “Well, I reconsidered. Your tour’s first stop needs a grand opening, and it requires perfection!

Felix replied, “You’re right, my company approved the 600 thousand dollars budget because I suggested your nan
name.”
Moira didn’t initially catch on, so she continued, “Your company must also see my commercial value.”
Moira didn’t intend to delve into the entertainment industry, but that didn’t mean she didn’t want to make money from it!

Felix asked, “So, you agree?”
Moira replied, “Yes, I agreel Contact Lenka and give her the contract.”
“Okay.” Felix agreed. Just as Moira was about to say goodbye, he suddenly asked, “This compensation, is it tempting?”
Moira admited honestly. “It’s hard for anyone not to be tempted!”
Felix was amused. “I knew it. Money can move you.”
Now that her true colors were exposed, Moira didn’t hold back anymore. “Then, if you have any similar opportunities in the future, be sure to find me again!”
Felix said, “Don’t worry, there aren’t many in the country with more titles than you, right?”
The words sounded familiar. Moira had just said them.
Moira’s face flushed. “I’m going to have breakfast now, bye.”
Felix replied, “Bye.”
After hanging up the phone, Moira sent a message to Lenka about the matter and then went to freshen up.
By the time she sat at the dining table, it was already past eight.
Feeling good, Moira even ate two more buns. When Rose asked Moira what she wanted for lunch, she readily listed a few dishes.
After ordering, Moira went to practice the piano but was greeted by Barclay’s wet body..
