Aloof CEO's; Charming Secretary

The music round had a condition that the same instrument can't be used again by the next participants. Out of eight teams, 'Team Sky' pick came in the fourth.

Sky was planning to send Sam to play the piano but the Second participant used that instrument. There was a Violin, Saxophones, Flute, Xylophone, Drums, Harmonica, and other Sky didn't even know the names.

Another option they had was to sing a song. Sam and Clark repudiated right away.

Sky knew she couldn't win with her voice and she didn't know to use any instrument.

She turned to Arlo, "Arlo, Do you know to use any instrument?"

Arlo shook his head and lied, "Nope".

Sky was thinking to give up but Ryan whispered in her ear, "Arlo sings well. Bribe him to get his work done."

'Is he a kid to bribe with chocolate?' Sky thought herself.

Sky turned back to Ryan and whispered back, "But I don't know what he likes. What should I bribe?"

"I don't know that. You think it out" Ryan raised his hands in the air and sat back.

He knew Arlo's singing was better than his piano, guitar, and violin skills. But too bad he never sings.

Sky was thinking about what to give which he may like but nothing she got in her mind. It was their turn to perform. Sky held Arlo's hand-pulled him towards the center stage of amphitheater.

"Ms.Sky, What are you doing?" Arlo asked as he followed her.

"You are singing." Sky said as she took the mic and went on the stage.

"Nope!" Arlo rejected right away.

"I will buy you whatever you like if I can." Sky had to use what Ryan said.

"I don't want anything." Arlo said and shoved the mic back to Sky.

"Huh! I listen to you for a day," That's how she always bribed Loran.

Arlo raised his brows is amusement. Sky hastily added, "Only if it is reasonable."

"Done!" Arlo agreed and took the mic from her.

'Dad knows him so he let him stay by my side so he will not take advantage of me.' Sky thought to herself and sighed in relief.

She turned to go back to her seat. Lights were off and a spotlight was on Arlo, He held Sky's hand and looking at her, he started to sing.

"Like a spark, a flame, a million things

That guide me right to you

Like a masterpiece, a sweet release

That blinds me from the truth

Every lie you tell you try to sell

'Til all that's left is bruised

I could learn to run, could turn to dust

I'm stuck, just cut me loose"

Sky's heart skipped a beat when she heard his voice. It was very soothing and melodious. She wished she could hear that voice daily.

She was amazed by her own thought and saw his warm big palm holding her wrist. Her hand looked tiny in his hands.

She raised her head and saw him hold a mic under the spotlight and singing. His eyes sparkled and his mole dazzled under the light on his fair skin. She was entranced by his singing and his eyes.

"And now I've got a fear of falling

I'll be alone

But in my head, I hear you calling

Don't let me go

No, I don't wanna miss you anymore

No, I don't wanna wish for what was before

Forget it all right now, right now

Oh if I could, you know I would..."

Sky checked his line of sight towards the audience and saw Ryan. She paused as she felt her surroundings going mute. Her admiring smile changed to contempt.
