Lily smiled again, flashing her dimples. "As we kept putting on shows and got more popular, an entertainment company made us an offer—we'll be putting on a show for them. They'll hire us if our performance meets their standard, and we'll debut as pros. That's why Kat brought you here, hoping that you'd cheer for us." "Of course," she then added with a pained smile, "if you're not interested in band music, we won't force you to anything... Just stay here and wait until Kat is done." Frank turned to Kat in surprise after hearing what Lily had to say.
Nash was clearly not rich, but Kat would not have wanted money with the Turnbulls supporting them— if anything, playing with the band must be her way to support her friends.

As he nodded to show he would stay, Kat clapped him excitedly on the shoulder. "Haha! Keep your eyes wide as you watch now, Master Lawrence!" Frank smiled at her. "I don't know much about music, but. do your best." "Yep!" Kat was jubilant, while Lily hid a smile as she watched.
"Huh? What is he doing here?!" Mandy Doncic, who was already at the booth seating, scowled as soon as she saw Frank cover.
Springing to her feet, she snapped bluntly, "Soren reserved this booth seat. There's no place for you!" Frank paused and looked around, but the other seats in the entire bar were taken, and he could not sit elsewhere. [x] The other girls, however, were far more welcoming than Mandy.
"Oh, why are you so petty, Mandy?" "Mr. Lawrence saved us before!" "Exactly. Soren wouldn't be so stingy, right?" Tilda, one of the girls who warmed up to Frank before, smiled and patted the seat beside herself. "There's a free spot here. Csit here, handsome." Though it was the outermost seat, Frank nodded and did not refuse. "Thanks.
Soren, sitting in the center, scowled and snorted, but he was otherwise silent. Frank could see that Soren was hostile to him. However, he did not care about the students anyway and was even less interested in Soren.

"Hmph. Talk about brazen." Mandy folded her arms before chest, utterly annoyed as she sat down.
"Let's give a warm welcto the next band, Dragondawn! They'll rock your world!" The lights overhead flashed as a group of uniquely dressed youths strode upstage and started playing.
Soren and the others were soon nodding along, engrossed.
Frank, however, thought they were noisy and ignored them as he reached for a bottle of red wine.
That did not escape Mandy's notice, and she promptly snatched it out of his grasp. "Soren paid for that! Buy your own drinks!"
