Chapter 375 Perform A Dance Publicly

The snow was falling heavily.

Cecilia watched as Paula and Charlotte conversed in the distance. For some reason, her eyes began to redden.

Sven, holding an umbrella, stood by her side.

Although he wasn’t sure what was wrong with Cecilia, he could sense that she seemed quite upset at the moment.

Just as Charlotte was about to explain that she was merely an assistant, Cecilia’s voice echoed through her earpiece, “Lottie, pretend to be me and have a chat with her.”

So, Charlotte told Paula, “All right.”

“Let’s step aside for a chat, then.”

“Sure.”

The two of them then went to a fancy restaurant nearby.

Cecilia and Sven found themselves seated next to their private booth, silently listening in on Paula’s conversation.

“Ms. Cecille, both Cassandra and I are particularly fond of your music. Please name your price. As long as we can secure exclusive rights to your compositions, I’m willing to accept it no matter

the cost.”

Paula, who had always been as protective of her money as her own life, was now surprisingly showing such concern for her other daughter.

Cecilia felt as if her throat had been pricked by a needle.

She told Charlotte, “Tell her that my music isn’t something that can be bought with money.”

Immediately, Charlotte relayed to Paula what Cecilia had said.

Paula felt a bit awkward, “What do you want, then? Just tell me, and I’ll definitely replace a way to get it for you.”

At that moment, she embodied the image of a doting mother whose love for her daughter knew no bounds.

Cecilia was curious to know how far Paula could go for her daughter, so she asked, “Are you the internationally renowned dancer, Paula Escobar?”

Paula was somewhat taken aback as she hadn’t expected that even Cecille knew who she was. Without any hint of modesty, she accepted the recognition.

However, the next sentence Charlotte uttered left her frozen in shock.

“When you ended your dancing career at the age of twenty–five, it was truly a pity. If you truly desire this song, I propose a deal. Perform a dance publicly. Once you do that, I will grant you exclusive rights to this song. What do you think?” Charlotte said, echoing the words of her boss.

I don’t get why my boss wants this middle–aged woman in front of me to dance in public. What’s so appealing about it?

Cecilia, however, knew all too well why she wanted that.

Ever since Paula had given birth to her, she had never stepped foot on a stage again, nor had she

danced even once.

Once upon a time, in her youthful ignorance, Cecilia made a wish on her birthday, saying, “I want Mom to perform a dance.”

Paula retorted, “Who do you think you are, to deserve a dance from me? I’m out of shape now, and I’ve mentioned before that I will never dance again in my life.”

Paula was stubborn. Once she declared she wouldn’t dance anymore, she never did again..

At that moment, upon hearing Charlotte’s words, Paula’s expression changed several times before. she finally refused her request. “Could we consider other conditions? I’ve mentioned before that I would never dance again.”

In the end, the business deal fell through.

Cecilia stepped out of the private booth after Paula left.

Charlotte approached her with a puzzled look on her face. “Why did you make such a request, Boss?”

Charlotte was still unaware that Paula was actually Cecilia’s biological mother.

Cecilia didn’t offer any explanations. Instead, she said, “Let’s call it a day. I’d like to go back and rest a bit.”

She wanted to investigate the matter concerning Cassandra and replace out why Cassandra was Paula’s daughter.

“All right, then. We’ll meet this mysterious big shot tomorrow?”

“Yup.”

After they had agreed, Cecilia returned to the hotel she had previously booked.

When she pushed the door open to enter, she saw a tall, upright figure standing by the balcony.

Cecilia thought she had entered the wrong room and was about to leave when the man turned around. “Cecilia, is that you?”

“With our marriage certificate,” Nathaniel replied.
