Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 75

In the Royal Entertainment, Laura’s office, Bryce stared at Ashley on the sofa, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Initially, when he asked Ashley to compose songs for him, it was a move to leverage her popularity.

However, Bryce instantly shifted his perspective upon discovering that Ashley was the renowned Ash. Having Ash compose for him was a stroke of incredible luck.

Bryce fixed his gaze on Ashley, the excitement still vivid in his eyes. “Actually, it’s not just the netizens who are curious. I’m curious, too. Being Ash, why would you be willing to compose songs for me?”

Ashley raised an eyebrow, ready to respond.

Bryce interrupted with a smug tone, “I know! It must be because we’ve spent these days together, and you were so impressed by me that you decided to grace me with your songwriting skills! Damn, it’s all my overwhelming charisma!”

Ashley was left speechless.

She had never encountered someone so narcissistic.

Sitting behind the desk, Laura wore an expression of utter embarrassment.

Bryce smiled, his tone turning serious, I was just kidding. I know you’ve cut ties with the Ramos family and don’t want anything to do with them, so you won’t write songs for Matthew anymore, right?”

Ashley nodded. “You could say that.”

Bryce stood up. “To thank you for writing songs for me, how about a lavish dinner tonight? Let’s celebrate the success of the album, and Laura, you should join us.”

Just as Laura was about to speak, her phone rang

She picked it up, answered the call, and put it on speaker.

A robust, middle-aged voice came from the other end. “Hello, Ms. Mitchell. I’m Josh Parker, the director of the show The Shape of Music Sorry to call you so late. I’d like to invite your artists, Ashley and Bryce, to

“The Shape of Music” was the hottest music variety show in the country, and many artists were eager to be part of it.

Now, the chief director personally called and invited the two of them.

Josh didn’t beat around the bush and said straightforwardly, “Bryce’s new song is a hit, and he is perfect for our show. Also, Ashley has been promoting Bryce’s new song, so we’d like to invite both of them. The recording is scheduled for a week from now.”
