Chapter 805

“Dad’s talking to you.

What’s with the daydreaming?”

Brady flashed a quick smile and apologized.

But before either Jordan or Rachel could reply, he announced that he just spotted someone he knew and wanted to go and chat with them for a bit.

However, Brady didn’t dare move from his spot until he got a nod of permission from Jordan.

Sumner was here solely to keep Lindsey company, so if Lindsey chose to leave, he wouldn’t have any reason to stay either.

However, he soon found himself in a predicament as well.

With Carole gone, the socialites lost their subject of mockery and aimlessly scoured the hall until their attention was captured by the handsome and extraordinary Sumner, recently famous online.

Soon, Sumner found himself surrounded by a group of beautiful women.

They were eager to get his contact information, hoping to get to know him.

“Hi, Mr.

Lawson.

Our company sponsored the second episode of that talent show.

Can I have your numbers so we can get to know each other?” A serene beauty in a white dress asked.

Almost immediately, a bold woman clad in black retorted, “There are so many sponsors for Star Search, how can anyone remember you? Mr.

Lawson, I’m currently studying music.

How about we exchange contact info and chat about music sometime?”

A few other women announced their intent to get Sumner’s contact information as well, and soon, Sumner found himself in the midst of quarreling women.

Desperate, he looked to Lindsey for help.

With a small smile, Lindsey pulled Sumner from the crowd and positioned herself protectively in front of him.

“Sorry ladies, Sumner is my company’s artist, and we have strict policies against friending non-professionals.

You can friend me instead, and I’ll make sure to pass along any messages,”

Lindsey politely informed them, flashing her QR code.

The lady in black recognized Lindsey as the woman they scorned earlier.

Her face twisted into a condescending snarl and she demanded, “Who the hell are you?”

“I’m Sumner’s agent, and I handle all his external affairs.

” Lindsey smiled at the women.

When the ladies heard this, they were all visibly shocked, their eyes going wide.

Their attitude changed instantly and the woman in the black dress laughed awkwardly.

“Oh, the agent! Well then, how about we become friends?”

Just as the woman in black moved her phone closer for a_ scan, Lindsey suddenly pulled her hand back.

While her smile didn’t waver, her eyes narrowed on the woman.

“Sorry, time waits for no one.

”

Then she took Sumner by the hand and made her way toward the entrance.

The socialites watched them leave in silence, their expressions a mix of anger, irritation and regret.

They all wished they hadn’t Looked down on Lindsey with such disdain earlier.

Lindsey and Sumner had just gotten to the door when a distinguished-looking middle-aged man suddenly blocked their path.

Brady flashed a friendly smile and said, “Hello, you must be Sumner, right?”

Sumner didn’t expect to be that famous for everyone to recognize him instantly.

He gave a puzzled look and said, “Yeah, I’m Sumner, but have we met?”

Brady gave a slight smile as he noticed Sumner’s confused expression.

“I’m Brady Lawson from the Lawson Group.

” Brady reached out for a handshake with Sumner.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.

” As soon as Sumner caught wind of the “Lawson Group”, his eyes dimmed a bit.

However, he went ahead and shook the outstretched hand.

“So, what’s up? How can I help you?”

Brady went on to explain how he recognized Sumner after watching the talent show.

“I used to be a fan of Everleigh Pearson.

The way you nailed her song, even decades after she last performed it… That’s seriously impressive.
