Chapter 292 - Emersons First Concert (2/2)

The driver was a little surprised. Wasn't he just here to give a message? Why was he staying for the entire concert?

Seeing the confused look on his driver's face, Emerson smirked and said, ”I've never been to a concert before. Why not take advantage of this opportunity, right?”

The young man scratched his head and nodded. ”I guess...” he said with slight doubt in his voice.

Ignoring the man's doubt, Emerson walked towards the backdoor and presented a backstage pass to the security guards. The guard immediately opened the door and let him in.

As soon as Emerson stepped inside, he was surprised by how busy and chaotic the backstage was. It was nothing like what he saw earlier that day; this was the real thing and there was no time for mistakes. So, people were running around screaming instructions and pushing props and equipment around.

”One hour until showtime!” a woman screamed down the corridor.

Emerson quickly looked around for Avaleigh when he heard this. Would he be able to speak to her before she headed on stage?

Soon, he located the change room and knocked on the door. At first, the people inside ignored him. After all, it was quite noisy in the backstage. So, when Emerson realized no one was answering the door, he knocked again. This time he knocked a bit louder.

A moment later, the door finally opened and Sue looked at him in surprise. ”President Wu,” she gasped. She didn't know he would be there for the concert, especially not in the backstage. Danson's secretary was already in the auditorium greeting the invited press and media.

Unsure of what to say, she immediately stepped aside and welcomed the man into the room.

Inside the room, the girls had already changed into their opening costumes and were seated in front of a row of dressing tables.

Some of the girls were getting their hair styled, while others were getting their makeup done.

Avaleigh had her eyes closed at that moment as one of the makeup artists applied powder to her face.

Emerson glanced at her and felt his heart rate increase. He had finally found her. She looked beautiful underneath the lighting of the change room.

With a smile, he slowly approached her from behind.

But, just before he reached her, he felt an arm suddenly wrap around his.

”President Wu, did you come to watch the concert?” Mimi asked with a huge smile. The red lipstick on her lips made her smile look bigger than it was.

Emerson furrowed his brows and looked at the woman. He then glanced back at Avaleigh and noticed her eyes were open now and she was looking at him and Mimi through the reflection in the mirror. She also furrowed her brows when she saw that their arms were linked together.

”Close your eyes, Ava. I'm going to apply your eye makeup now,” the makeup artist beside her said.

Avaleigh bit her lip with frustration and closed her eyes. She had been waiting 3 hours for the man to reply to her message earlier. But not only did he not reply, he even turned up and was being affectionate with Mimi.

Emerson saw Avaleigh close her eyes again and could sense that she was upset, so he quickly tried to brush Mimi aside and explain himself, but the woman held onto him with all her might. She saw the way he looked at Avaleigh earlier and she was not letting Avaleigh steal this man away from her.

Emerson Wu belonged to her!
