Chapter 1475:
Before Miriam could respond, he restarted the accompaniment. But she was still in a daze and missed the rhythm, so Garry stopped it again.
“Are you sure you want to join Star Entertainment?” He took off his headphones, draped them around his neck, leaned back in his chair, and spoke quietly.
“Yes. I do,” Miriam said without hesitation.
To her, Star Entertainment was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—she would never let it slip away.
But Garry’s next words felt like a bucket of cold water. “Then you’re not determined enough. Like this, people will think you’re singing at a KTV p>
Miriam’s heart sank. She bit her lip, confused and hurt.
“Again,” Garry said.
This time, determination filled Miriam’s eyes. She followed the rhythm carefully, singing with steadier control.
Annabel stayed silent, watching Miriam without blinking.
Garry turned toward Annabel and asked, “Well, Boss? Did I look like a strict teacher p>
Annabel frowned. “What? Are you planning to pursue a career in acting p>
“I was afraid you wouldn’t let me be too strict with Miriam,” Garry said, lifting his chin. “After all, she’s a newcomer. It’s normal for us to be more encouraging p>
“You know you should encourage her,” Annabel replied evenly, “but you’re still too strict p>
Even so, she didn’t think Garry had done anything wrong. Miriam would improve with time, and she needed honest criticism more than empty praise if she wanted to keep growing.
“I thought you were tolerant with everyone,” Garry teased.
“Are you talking about yourself?” Annabel shot him a glance.
Garry shrugged and fell silent. After all, he stood to lose his bonus if he talked too much.

Annabel’s eyes softened with quiet relief. Garry never behaved like a typical employee—except on the day he first signed with Star Entertainment.
She had worked with him for years and understood his temperament, so she never tried to restrain him with company rules. Garry had never been the type to follow a script.
Besides, he had his own sense of boundaries.
Annabel didn’t dwell on it. Her attention returned to Miriam.
After Garry’s remarks, Miriam seemed energized. Her performance was even better than it had been at the bar.
Miriam drew a deep breath and steadied herself as she finished the last note. She loved music with her whole heart—music was everything to her—and she had decided to devote herself to becoming a full-time artist.
She took off her headphones and turned toward the control room, where Garry and Annabel were waiting.
Garry lounged in his chair, stretching his long legs out lazily. Miriam had always thought he looked like a cat.
“Finished?” Garry asked casually.
