Not only was Soren a liar, but he was also unreasonable, jealous, and a braggart.


    The man was simply incorrigible, and Kat wondered why she had not noticed that before.


    Composing herself, Kat stood akimbo as she red at Soren. "I don''t remember inviting you."


    "Lily did," Soren retorted, even more hostile toward Frank since he could notice Kat treating him


    differently.


    Lily quickly tried to calm things down. "Alright—we still have to get a show on the road here. It''s our


    turn soon, Kat... Are you ready?"


    "Hmph. For sure," Kat pped a hand on her chest and leveled a smug look at Frank, like a child keen


    to show off.


    Frank sighed tiredly. "In that case, I won''t impose. I''lle back to take you home when you''re done."


    "No!" Kat scowled right then. "This is why I had youe along. You''re watching us on stage, and


    you''re going to cheer for me!"


    "Come on, Kat," Soren chimed in, shooting Frank a look. "Don''t get pushy when he''s already refused


    you. Who knows, he might hate your music."


    Kat glowered at Soren''s clear provocation. "No one would think you mute just because you don''t


    speak."


    "What."


    Soren almost snapped at Kat''s harshness, but he took a deep breath and chuckled coolly. "Fine. Do


    whatever you want."


    With that, he returned to the booth seating without looking back.


    "What''s wrong, Kat?" Lily asked, puzzled—Kat used to admire Soren, so why the dramatic change in


    attitude?


    "Things happen," Kat replied grumpily while staring at Frank. "He''s just not my type."


    "Oh." Lily nced between Kat and Frank thoughtfully.


    "Anyway, you''re going to take a seat like a good boy." Kat scowled at Frank. "That''s why I brought you


    here. Do you understand?"


    "Nope." Frank shook his head.


    "Hey!" Kat almost exploded, but she took a deep breath and quickly put on her sweetest smile. "Pretty


    please, Master Lawrence? This is thest time. Okay?"


    Frank''s expression darkened. "You said that before we came. How manyst times does this make?


    Beside them, Lily was bbergasted.


    Kat had never made a face like that to any other man—she certainly saw Kat in a new light now!


    And among all the students from the middle schools in South Morhen, Kat was unanimously chosen as


    the most beautiful!


    At that very moment, Lily became dead sure that there was a story here!


    And seeing Frank frown unhappily, Lily cleared her throat and smiled. "Allow me."


    Stepping in front of Kat, she said, "Apologies, Mr. Lawrence, but Kat, myself, and three other friends


    have formed a band called The Spades. We''ve been hitting different bars, putting on live shows to earn


    some money on the side."

    "Uh-huh." Kat nodded repeatedly.
