Charlie wade hadn’t expected that the two girls would so straightforwardly divide him up between them.
At that moment, he was still utterly clueless about how to coordinate with the backup dancers.
However, the stage was quickly prepared for the three of them.
Tawana had the stage’s monitor speakers play Stephanie’s song Assassin at a very low volume, directed only towards the stage, as the trio worked on figuring out their positions and stage design.
The reason for using only the monitor speakers, and keeping the volume so low, was because Tawana’s fans were simply too enthusiastic.
Ever since the stage setup began two days ago, the area outside had been surrounded by fans. Although security had set up a cordon, keeping them 100 metres away from the venue, if they heard Stephanie’s song playing live right now, they’d immediately guess that she was going to be a guest performer at this concert.
That would not only leak the secret but also prematurely reveal that Stephanie had returned to Eastcliff.
Everyone agreed that, before the performance began, they shouldn’t let it slip that Stephanie was a guest. The plan was to have her appear on stage as a surprise for the live audience.
Though Stephanie wasn’t as famous as Tawana, nor did her fans span across every race worldwide like Tawana’s did, the Chinese population was vast, and a significant portion of her Chinese fans overlapped with Tawana’s.
Plus, since this concert was in Eastcliff, and Stephanie was a native Eastcliff girl, her sudden appearance would undoubtedly thrill the fans.
Charlie wade, feeling a bit out of his depth, was dragged onto the stage by the two girls.
There were no Assassin performance costumes on site, so Tawana borrowed a hiking pole from her staff for Charlie wade to use as a makeshift longsword.
Charlie wade triple-checked with Stephanie, “You’re absolutely sure I’ll have a mask on the day of the performance, right? If there’s no mask, I’m not going on stage.”
Stephanie laughed, “Brother Charlie wade, don’t worry. Anyone might trick you, but I’d never do that.”
Charlie wade nodded, feeling slightly reassured.
Stephanie then explained, “This song has three parts. The first and second parts are complete verses and choruses, so Tawana and I will each take one. I’d like to make this the final song of the guest performance. I’ll sing the first part, then Tawana will come on stage to sing the second, and for the third part, we’ll sing together. The third part is just a single chorus to wrap it up.”
Charlie wade had listened to the song the whole way here and knew it inside out by now. After hearing Stephanie’s performance plan, he asked curiously, “So how am I supposed to dance for you both?”
Stephanie smiled, “It’s simple! When I sing first, Brother Charlie wade, you’ll dance with me. When Tawana comes on for the second part, you’ll dance with her. Then, when Tawana and I sing the third part together, you’ll join both of us.”
She elaborated, “The verses will reflect the emotional connection between you and the two of us, showing how deep our bond was before you left us. For the chorus, you’ll perform martial arts and swordplay at the front of the stage while we sing in the background, highlighting your heroic spirit. In the final part, you return to us, and it’s a happy reunion.”
Charlie wade said awkwardly, “I get the theme of your song. It’s good and touching on its own, but with both of you singing it together, me dancing with you first, then her, and finally interacting with both of you, it feels like I’m an assassin with two wives. I bid farewell to my two wives to go assassinate a tyrant, then come back for a big reunion with them both. It… changes the vibe a bit!”
