67 His Singing Heart ? (1/2)

The very energetic Kai shouted, ”Kira! Wuhooo! Kira!”, River hit his head to shut him up.

”Aww!!”

”You're too noisy!”, River complained.

Kai turned his head to look at River but he met Daniel's glare. ”What?! She's good!!”, Kai exclaimed.

Everyone else at their table shook their head.

Daniel ignored him again and focused on Samantha. As the song ended, the bar was filled with applause and Samantha bobbed a curtsy to the crowd before she came down the stage.

When she came back to her seat, Daniel leaned closer to her and whispered, ”That was really beautiful, honey.”

Samantha smiled at him but didn't say anything. The way he spoke the words into her ears made her red. She took a bottle of beer from the table and finished it all up as she tries to hide her blush.

She thought she was able to conceal but Daniel saw it clearly, ”Are you blushing because you're embarrassed?”

'No, Daniel Cho! I'm blushing because you're such a tease! How could you breathe into my ear like that?'

Little Jacob ran towards Samantha and smiled as he pounced in her arms. ”Kira!”

”Hi, Jakey!”

”Why are you so red?”

Samantha touched her face and glanced at Daniel who was currently watching her and Jacob. The little boy followed her eyes and he met Daniel's gaze.

”???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ?????????????????”, he said in all seriousness as he wrapped his little chubby arms around Samantha's neck.

Daniel chuckled, ”She's not your wife. ????????????'???? ????????????????.”

Little Jacob's face scrunched up, ”No, she's mine! You're just jealous because you don't sing as good as her.”

”Really? You don't know that...”

Samantha laughed at the two of them bickering.

Jacob lifted his chin up arrogantly, ”Oh yeah? If you're so good why don't you sing then?” he humphed.

”Jakey... why don't you like him?”

Jacob lifted his head to Samantha and pouted his lips, ”Because... because... he's stealing you from me.”

She chuckled, ”No one's stealing anyone, my dear.”

”But I'm not stealing her, she has always been mine.”, Daniel continued to pick on Jacob; the little boy pouted some more.

”Mr. Cho, I didn't know you could be so petty to pick on a child.”

”What? He started it.”, he responded innocently.

Samantha shook her head.

”Kira, do you like him?”

Samantha's brows raised, ”Huh?”

”If he sings a song for you, I'll let him have you.”

Samantha's lip twitched, 'How could this little boy sell me out? Does he know what he's talking about?'

Chelsea heard the three of them talking and she joined in, ”Ooh, little Jacob! That's a great idea, didn't you ask Daniel to do some challenges for you, Kira?”

Samantha became conflicted, how can she ask Daniel to sing? Wouldn't that be too awkward? Does he even know how to sing? Samantha really had no idea. But wait, if he doesn't sing... so... he would fail the challenge, right? A light bulb appeared in her thoughts and she turned to look at him.

”What?”, Daniel asked not knowing what was on Samantha's mind.

...

Samantha didn't know how it happened. Daniel is now on stage asking Chris if it's okay to use the piano. 'What the heck, Samantha? You're crazy! How could you challenge CEO Daniel Cho to sing in front of these people?'

Kai was already in a fit of laughter, ”Pffftt.. I can't wait to hear this guy.”
