As Jacob and ine were on the verge of yet another argument, ire quickly intervened to diffuse the tension: “Oh, Mom, Dad, can you please try not to argue every time you talk? Charlie just got back, and Loreen is here too. Let’s not turn this into a spectacle…”


    Jacob shot a cold nce at ine and retorted, “I don’t know why you’re looking at me like that, like I’m the one who needs to impress a girl!”


    ine rolled her eyes and replied dismissively, “Listen to yourself! It’s not like I want to get to know you better.”


    With that, ine turned her head away, refusing to engage with Jacob any further.


    Meanwhile, Loreen turned to ire, looking a bit embarrassed: “By the way, ire, Stefanie ising to Aurous Hill for a concert next month. How about we go together?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ire smiled brightly and said, “Charlie mentioned he wants toe with me. He knows Stefanie and said he could get front-row tickets.”


    Loreen’s eyes widened in shock as she turned to Charlie, asking, “Charlie, you know Stefanie Sun?!”


    Charlie nodded, exining, “Yes, Miss Sun is one of my clients. I’ve helped her with Feng Shui before.”


    Loreen eximed, “Mom, that’s amazing! You must be pretty close with her. Can you get me a front-row ticket? I’ll pay you double!”


    Worried that Charlie might decline, Loreen sped her hands together and pleaded, “Charlie, just like ire, I’ve been a fan of Stefanie for ages. I really want to sit in the front row for her concert…”


    With a sigh, Loreen added, “But those front-row tickets are nearly impossible to get. As soon as they go on sale, rich kids from all over rush to grab them. I’ve tried multiple times without sess, so I’m really counting on your help…”


    Charlie felt overwhelmed by the situation.


    He had already pledged to take ire to the concert, and now he was faced with the awkwardness of also amodating Loreen, especially since she had a history of expressing her feelings for him, which made thingsplicated.


    Loreen was drawn to Charlie, and he was well aware of her bold personality. He recalled the time they were at the hot springs, and she had dared to confess her feelings while ire was asleep. The thought of her being at the concert made him anxious about how things might unfold.


    So, Charlie responded, “Loreen, I’m really sorry, but I might not be able to help you with this. I’ve already spoken with Miss Sun, and she mentioned that she could only arrange two tickets for me.”


    “As you know, my rtionship with Miss Sun is purely professional; it’s just a client-service provider dynamic. It’s quite a feat that she can offer me two tickets at all. I really can’t ask for more…”


    When Loreen heard this, she didn’t question him further.


    She thought to herself, “Stefanie’s concert tickets are notoriously hard toe by, especially front-row seats.”


    “It’s impressive that Charlie could even secure two tickets for himself, given that he only helped her with Feng Shui. I can’t let him think I’m putting pressure on him for tickets,” she reasoned.


    Resolute, Loreen quickly said, “I’ll find another way. If I can’t score a front-row seat, I’ll settle for something in the first five rows.”


    Charlie felt a bit relieved upon hearing this.


    If Loreen couldn’t attend the concert in the front row, at least it would create a bit more distance between her, ire, and himself, which would ease some of his worries.<fn9f91> Original content can be found at findnovel</fn9f91>


    He understood that if he were to ask Stefanie for three tickets, she would likely agree without hesitation and provide three consecutive seats.
