"No. He said he would release an original album soon, but there have been no updates about it. Say, do you remember that variety show we wanted to go on? Lucas had already filmed the opening of the first episode, but he backed out from the show all of a sudden right after you quit the industry." Anthony's words made me suspicious.

Many singers felt sorry that you left the industry." ---- As soon as Anthony finished his words, I became alert.

He knew my temper well and understood that I wouldn't change my mind once I made up my decision. He had flown all the way here just to convince me to return to the industry.
