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.
"So that's why you've been sneaking out late at night." Frank sighed in realization
Since Lily had put it that way, he would be unreasonable if he was still dismissive.
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 come over.
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.
He was not bothered by Soren's jealousy either and would keep his distance unless provoked.
"Hmph. Talk about brazen." Mandy folded her arms before chest, utterly annoyed as she sat down.
"Let's give a warm welcome to 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!"
