After she finished eating, Kim crossed the hall and hesitantly entered the room from which she had previously heard the music. It was quiet now, the men were just putting their heads together over a few sheets of music and discussing something. They hadn't heard her come in, so Kim had the opportunity to have a look around.

The studio was a large room, just like the living room with large windows facing the garden, and equipped with all sorts of musical instruments, speakers, microphones and other technology. A door led into a small adjoining room that could be seen through a pane of glass and was used for mixing and recording the music.

"Ah, Kim," Luke said when he looked up and saw her. “Chris, Rob, Kyle - this is my new assistant, Kim. Kim - Christopher, our guitarist, Robert, our drummer, and Kyle, the girl for everything, ”he introduced her to the three men, and one by one they shook hands with her.

"How long have you had an assistant?" Asked Robert critically, and Kim held her breath. But Luke smiled quite relaxed. “The whole stress of the organization is slowly growing over my head. I want to focus more on my music, so I thought it would be a good idea to hire someone to do a few things for me, ”he said easily.

"A wise decision," praised Chris. "On the one hand, you'll be a little more relaxed, and on the other hand, it's a very pleasant sight, that's very inspiring."

He grinned and winked at Kim, who was staring at the floor in embarrassment .

“Chris, hold back a little, you don't have to put them off right away. She doesn't look like one of those girls you can tell silly about, ”Kyle said reproachfully, but he too had a big grin on his face.

"Okay, stop that," interrupted Luke, "we'll carry on."

He looked at Kim and pointed to an armchair in the corner. "If you want to stay, you can sit there."

After the men's comments, Kim wanted to leave again, but she should stay close to Luke, so she sat down and waited eagerly to see what would come next.

Luke picked up an acoustic guitar, the others got ready, and seconds later the music started. After a few chords passed, Luke started singing and, like before, Kim immediately got goose bumps. Although he sang without technical assistance, his voice was strong and yet velvety. It sounded clear and a little rough at the same time, and after the first few notes Kim could understand why the girls fainted in rows when he was on stage. The song was a bit rockier, like almost all of its titles, but still he could have melted a stone with his singing. As then, he played the guitar with full concentration and forgetfulness, and she listened with fascination.

The piece sounded perfect to Kim, but Luke didn't seem satisfied. After they finished the song, he put the guitar down and went over to Kyle, discussed something with him, gave Rob and Chris a few more instructions, and then they started all over again.

Kim snuggled thoughtfully in the armchair, listened, and tried hard not to stare at Luke all the time.

Memories flooded her. She closed her eyes and saw herself climbing over the fence into Luke's parents' garden, saw how she crept quietly to his room window and crouched in front of it to listen to him singing inside.

"Kim?" His voice suddenly pulled her out of her dreams.

Startled, she opened her eyes. He had leaned down to her, his face was close to hers, and she winced.

"Yes?" She asked nervously.

"I just said we'd probably go on for a while, and if you get bored, don't worry," he said quietly, leaning closer to her, putting his mouth to her ear. "I don't think you need to look after me all the time."

She wanted to argue, wanted to tell him that she wasn't bored at all, but she was so upset by his sudden proximity that she nodded hastily.

"All right," she muttered, and stood up.

She stalked to the door on soft legs.

"Tell me, Luke, what exactly does the little one assist you with?" She heard Chris ask suggestively as she went out, and the others laughed.

She quickly closed the door behind her, unable to understand Luke's answer to Chris' comment.

  • Stuck With Him   Disappear

    They spent the rest of the day in the studio. Luke was busy with his music as usual, while Kim's mind jumped wildly.The conversation with Charlie was still in her stomach, she didn't like the fact that he was aware of her connection to Luke at the time. Then she had to keep thinking about what was going to happen next, she was sure that the whole thing was not over yet. After the mission had failed so miserably the previous night, it was to be expected that the stranger would try again, and she racked her mind again who could be behind it.Unobtrusively and carefully, she observed the three men who were playing music with Luke, but they all behaved completely normal and unsuspicious. She made up her mind to take another look at each individual as soon as Charlie had emailed her the evaluations.Then her gaze fell on Luke again, and she remembered how worried he had been for her last night. She wondered whether she might not have misjudged him on the basis of he

  • Stuck With Him   In every way

    When Kim woke up the next day, it was already late morning. The previous evening's events flashed back to her immediately and she began to brood.She didn't regret that she'd acted against Tom's instructions and walked around the crypt instead of disappearing. The area would certainly have been thoroughly searched the next day, but who knows whether the Walkman would still have been there. She only quarreled with the fact that she had made the suggestion that she should go to the cemetery in Luke's place, she still had the dull suspicion that someone in the house had noticed something."Maybe it would have been better if Luke had gone himself," she thought with discomfort.But the fear that something might have happened to him then immediately made this thought disappear again. No, it was good that she had tried, since she was still not sure whether the stranger was really after money, she might have prevented something worse.While she was still sitting

  • Stuck With Him   Stayed

    While Kim stood rooted to the spot and was stunned by the fact that this song meant nothing more than that her plan had already been seen through in advance, the men of the emergency team rushed towards her from all sides, especially Tom."Damn it, what were you thinking?" He snapped angrily.She looked at him irritated, first pulled the earplug of the Walkman, then the one of the radio out of her ear."Can you tell me what that was about?" Tom raged on. "Why are you defying my instructions?""Nothing happened," Kim said meekly, "But ..."Tom interrupted her. "I don't want to hear any more, you can discuss this with Charlie later."He turned away and took out his cell phone, and Kim knew he would call Charlie and tell him everything.Meanwhile, the men turned the entire area around the crypt upside down. They had brought in searchlights and combed every inch of the surrounding area, but to no avail. Aside from a plethora of footprints

  • Stuck With Him   Unmistakable

    Tense Kim drove the car through the night streets of Sunville in the direction of the cemetery."I'll be right there," she said into the microphone, and seconds later heard Tom's voice in her ear."Okay, we're ready."She parked the car in front of the entrance, got out, and took the bag from the back seat.She looked around examiningly, there was no one to be seen far and wide.It was a moonless night, and she was pleased to see that the cemetery was in deep darkness, so it wouldn't be easy to see that she wasn't Luke.She walked slowly through the gate, then stopped hesitantly."Stay on the main path so we can see you," Tom instructed.Kim followed his request, took small steps forward, constantly looking around in all directions.After a few minutes the crypt came into view, gloomy and threatening it loomed in the darkness before her."Not too close, otherwise we won't have a view," came the earphone again.

  • Stuck With Him   Work out

    Charlie appeared over the next morning. After showing a press ID, Harvey escorted him into the study.Kim greeted him and introduced him to Luke, who was pacing up and down with a worried expression.Charlie scanned the letter briefly, then turned to Luke.“Mr. Summer, I think Kim has already informed you how this will play out. I have brought a suitably prepared bag with me that you will take with you, and as soon as the handover starts, we will access it. My men are already in the process of submitting themselves to the cemetery, so you needn't worry. ”“ All right, ”Luke nodded, but it was clear that he wasn't enthusiastic about the plan."No," Kim said spontaneously at that moment, "he won't go."The men turned their heads to her in surprise, stared at her questioningly.“Kim? What's the problem? ”Asked Charlie."You can't just send him there," Kim blurted out nervously. "It's too dangero

  • Stuck With Him   Guarantee

    A few days went by without any more letters or anything happening.Kim had called Charlie again briefly that afternoon, who could only advise her to wait and keep an eye on Luke. Checking the names hadn't revealed anything suspicious so far, and as expected, no usable traces had been found on the envelopes either, so Kim sighed and accepted her fate and followed Luke every step of the way. She had to listen to one or two amused comments from him now and then, but he seemed to be slowly accepting her presence and she tried not to take his remarks too seriously.They had breakfast together every morning, then went jogging together and then they mostly went to the studio, where Luke and the boys continued to work on his new album, and Kim sat quietly in the armchair, reading a book or just listening.Luke was often alone in the studio, trying out different melodies on his guitar and writing down dozen of sheets of music without noticing Kim, who watched and listene
