Chapter 62
The news of the live show left a great impact on any work schedule, the following days were tough for my company. Firstly, Bright’s return stirred up gossip in the business community, his announcement of a friendly match exhilarated his fans.
The media houses, agencies, and even businessmen went bonkers, bombarding my staff with queries. Bright used my company’s name as a main reason for his return to the rink. But the public reaction was something that I didn’t expect.
As he was old glory, I thought that people must have forgotten about him. No one had spare time to remember the old trends in this fast–paced world. However, I was terribly wrong!
The tickets for the match that I initially planned to sell at discounted price, in the hope that Leo’s fans would buy them, were sold at double prices. It took us just an hour to post ‘sold out on the website as organizers. Not to mention the thrill of the sponsors, who showered their money to launch Bright again.
Bright even overshadowed Leo. Leo was still standing next to me waiting to go on stage. I whispered to him, “How do you feel now?”
Leo smiled faintly, “Of course it feels good to be standing next to you.”
“hum, that makes me so sad.“I tried to hold back my smile.
Dressed in hockey gear, Bright’s majestic figure was receiving public recognition, he was waving his hand for his fans. The most noticeable thing was his gang beside him, the combination of his team buddies was his dream team before his retirement. Seeing them. together again had painted the town red in glee
Even my inner fan girl jumped like a toddler to witness this development in the live show. After Bright’s introduction, Leo and his boys were welcomed in the rink, but his entry was nothing before Bright’s splendor.
After all, the legend was back!
As soon as the referee blew the whistle, I put my cell phone in my purse and glued my eyes to the rink in order to relish their mastery. Precise strokes, full command over the puck,

and exceptional talent awestruck me. Bright started ruling like a King in just a few seconds, driving the crowd crazy.
The audience clapped and chanted madly for his first goal in forty–five seconds. The simple friendly match became an intense competition as Leo trapped Bright soon and leveled the scores. I couldn’t stop myself from clapping for a beautiful game.
And the best part was: This didn’t stop at all!
I held my breath until the end of the match, as the breathtaking suspense kept me on my toes all the time. The two equally talented masters‘ face off raised the temperature of the rink. Even after the extra time, the score remained the same. Bright and Leo’s teams scored six goals each.
Whoa!
What a game!
The rollercoaster of the match was followed by the press conference, the formal ceremony for Bright’s appearance in public. Standing between Bright and Leo, I was ready to face the questions regarding Bright’s exceptional return. However, the reporters surprised me with their queries.
“There are several sports agencies in Lakon City, Miss Becker. How did you manage to
convince Mr. Bright?”
The jealousy of my rivals was justified in every way, it was indeed a shock for them that two brightest stars were associated with my company.
Smiling professionally, I answered the work–related queries, but the focus was shifted to my mysterious relationship with Bright as a reporter questioned.
“Mr. Bright is from the most prestigious business family, and an excellent player. He would easily cooperate with the top companies of Lakon City.

Leo glanced at us several times, wanting to say something but stopping himself. The discerning reporter finally realized that Leo was being ignored. Bright and I laughed secretly.
According to the traditions, I arranged a high–end party at the cruise ship later that night, inviting the cream of the city. It was the right time to gather everyone and flex my power.
And today was the day Melody being released, so I
