Chapter 123


    "That''s the one!"


    You were going to introduce me, remember? Roslyn, my savior, could you maybe..."


    The way he drew out the end of his sentence was tinged with urgency, but it was clear he was downright thirsty for talent


    Roslyn had watched Matthew fret over finding a decent lyricist for years and figured it was time to lend a hand. So, she decided to set up an intro during a casual movie outing. Seeing his eagerness, Roslyn did not beat around the bush. "I was nning to introduce you guys anyway. Getting her to write for you, however, is not going to be a walk in the park. "Let mey it out straight: I will make the intro, and the rest is on you. Whether you can convince her to pen some lyrics, that is your gig."


    "I get it. If the work is good, she can name her price!"


    Matthew was not shy about pouring money into his music, especially when it came to a lyricist with serious chops.

    Roslyn waggled her finger in front of him. "My friend is the darling of the Foster family. Do you really think she''s short on cash?"


    The crowd did not realize the bombshell they had just dropped. The whispers around them started to pick


    1. up.


    "I knew I recognized her! That''s Evangeline, the Foster family''s princess who''s all over the trending news!" An excited voice cut through the buzz. "Can I be this lucky? To be in the same movie theater as Ms. Evangeline, the one you only see in the headlines? I''m over the moon!"


    Roslyn heard the chatter and instinctively pped a hand over her mouth.


    Had she identally dragged Evangeline into a mess?


    The real shocker, however, was still toe.


    "Get this. Do you know Mr. Walter Gordon? He''s Evangeline''s... Well, now probably her ex-husband. He''s here today too!" the person announced with a dramatic ir. Roslyn sucked in a breath of cold air.


    That jerk Walter was here too?


    Matthew, seeing Roslyn''s reaction, did not even dare to take a deep breath.


    The surrounding crowd, ever eager to stir the pot, kept the rumors swirling.


    Can you believe these two, practically divorced, are in the same movie theater? What are the odds?"


    "Could Mr. Walter Gordon havee here just for Evangeline?"


    "Right? When has he, the cinema''s rarest guest from the high-profile Gordon family, ever shown up here? Only Evangeline Foster, the darling princess of the Foster n, could draw him out. Are the rumors true that they''re patching things up?"


    "What are you even saying? They arrived separately and didn''t sit together. It''s clear as day that Mr. Walter Gordon is kicking himself over the divorce. He''s on a mission, digging around for any news on Ms. Evangeline, dead set on winning back the heartthrob!" Evangeline''s return to the theater was met with such a frenzy of wild gossip that her legs nearly gave out from under her.


    She had only stepped out to the restroom, and in that blink, the theater''s buzz had taken a wild turn. The chatter swelled, overpowering even the movie''s dialogue, each rumor more oundish than thest.


    What on earth had happened in her short absence?


    Evangeline hurried back to her seat, her eyesnding on the man next to Roslyn.


    She figured he was anotherter, not worth a second nce. Gently, she tugged on Roslyn''s sleeve." What''s going on? Why''s everyone talking about me?"
