My years as a menswear boss

"That...were you arguing with someone just now?"

Jiqiu tilted her head, looking at the empty dressing room.The top opera singers each have their own dressing room, and Christina, as Phoenix's new head, naturally has her own exclusive dressing room.

"No, I was rehearsing a new opera just now, and I lost myself for a while." Christina flicked the broken hair by her ears in a panic, and she continued, pretending to be calm, "We will perform in two days, when you come It is an honor for our entire theater."

"Well, it is said that the theater has been a little restless recently, I hope you pay attention to safety."

Jiqiu said softly, with an innocent smile on her face, "If you have any difficulties, I will immediately lend a helping hand."

"Miss Christina, you don't have to worry. Our young master is very gentleman, and he will not stand by when a beautiful lady encounters difficulties."

Jacob added on the side, he looked at Christina without blinking, the charming French girl with dark cloud-like hair, blue eyes with soft light, the dark yellow TV in the theater The candle hit her body, covering her with a hazy veil.

Jiqiu kicked Jacob indifferently, making him withdraw his lewd eyes, "Jacob, we should go."

"Oh, yes, master." Jacob nodded hurriedly, watching the boy turn his back, quietly took out a card with the address written on it from his pocket, and stuffed it into Christina's hand. Wink.

"You acted very disappointing." Jiqiu said indifferently.

Jacob wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Master, you know, I grew up on a boat, and I haven't even seen a few women, let alone such a fairy-like beauty. If I can react, it proves that I A normal man."

Jiqiu glanced at him silently, then continued to walk towards the entrance of the theater.

"I assure you, I only give her the address of a hotel, and it's up to her to go or not. I won't do anything forced."

Jacob said flatteringly to Jiqiu, he moved his strong body and followed behind the boy.

Jiqiu estimated that if she walked from the stage, it would be closer than passing through the auditorium, so she climbed onto the stage with her arms propped up.

"Hey, master, wait for me!" Jacob hurriedly followed, his heart beating a little, and he couldn't figure out the meaning of the young man's silence.

Jiqiu walked halfway on the stage, turned her head sharply, and shouted at Jacob, "Get out of the way!"

Jacob didn't know why, but subconsciously obeyed the order of the little master, and quickly rolled away. The next second, a heavy pillar slammed on the stage, making a loud noise.

"...Little Master." Jacob trembled all over, and he watched the pillar as thick as his waist hit the position where he had just stayed.

If he didn't obey Jiqiu's order, then the pillar would fall on him, and he would be crippled if not dead.

Jiqiu walked up to him, raised his head and glanced at the original position of the pillar. It should be hanging a curtain, and the curtain, as the facade of the theater, cannot be loosened so easily.

But there is no support point on it, and it can only be reached with a high ladder.In other words, this is not a man-made event.

"Why did it suddenly fall?" Jacob's face turned pale with fright, he grabbed the boy's trouser legs for help, his legs were so weak that he couldn't get up, especially on such a dark stage, where the cold wind permeated from nowhere .

Jiqiu frowned and glanced at the scarlet curtain hanging intact on the other end, "Get out!"

What responded to her was only the curtain blown by the wind, and Jiqiu's patience was completely exhausted, "If you don't come out again, I don't mind letting you disappear completely in this world."

After a while, a tall male figure slowly appeared behind the velvet curtain, wrapped in a pitch-black robe from neck to toe, with a bone mask on his face, he stood there silently.

Jacob's hairs were all blown up, and he immediately looked at his little master, seeing his calm expression, he felt some comfort, "At least now I'm not alone in facing this strange thing. '

"I'm Simon? Rosie, what's your name?" Jiqiu's face flashed a flash of interest, and she greeted her friendly.

"Timothy Esposito." Phantom replied meekly.

Esposito means in Italian: one who is abandoned by parents.

Jiqiu looked at the phantom with low eyebrows, that is, Esposito, she asked curiously, "Do I make you feel terrible?"

Esposito looked up at Jiqiu, and nodded his head with difficulty. He could feel the thick black mud-like malice exuding from the boy's small body. If he was not careful, he would be swallowed by him. The phantom who had been doing whatever he wanted in the theater was a little scared, even though he had no body, he still didn't dare to do anything to the boy.

Jiqiu couldn't help thinking about the first time she met Isabel in the non-scientific event, a doll who devoured the soul, and she was also very afraid of her, and coveted her soul again.

"Why are you making trouble?" Ji Qiu asked, frowning.

Esposito stepped back, pinched a corner of the curtain with his hands to cover his face, and began to disguise himself as a ghost with low IQ.

"Well...don't be so afraid of me." Jiqiu grinned, showing her pointed canine teeth.

"Dear sir, I am willing to answer all your questions, please don't make things difficult for Timothy."

Christina opened the secret door on the stage floor and came out from below. She looked calm, "Everything he did was for me."

Jiqiu rubbed her curly hair helplessly, she didn't do anything, how could she become a bad person, but she had long forgotten the ruthless words that made the phantom disappear just now.

"Okay, then I will trouble you to answer my doubts." Jiqiu made a gesture of invitation.

A group of people came to the back of the stage and found a place to sit down. Although Jacob was full of fear, he didn't dare to leave the little master's side, so he had to follow.

"I am the daughter of a shoemaker. When I was young, my father often polished the shoes of the principal male opera singer in the theater. Then I had the opportunity to see the opera performance. From the day I saw the opera for the first time, I was very fond of the opera. The actors are full of longing and regard it as a dream to perform on stage."

"I asked my father to send me to the theater, where I did some odd jobs, and occasionally watched the rehearsals of those actors quietly.

But I don't have much talent. I have been doing odd jobs for many years and I can't even be an extra.

But one day when I was cleaning the attic, I found an angel-shaped music box, and out of curiosity, I turned the clockwork. "Christina's voice is soft, like cotton in the field.

"Timothy appeared in front of me and I was terrified at first, but he stood there and sang, and I couldn't get out of his voice.

So I asked him to be my teacher, I was so eager for the stage, no matter who is willing to teach me to sing, I am willing to give my soul. "

"In this way, I relied on Timothy step by step from a theater handyman to the position of the principal actress. At the same time, the long-standing balance of the theater was broken by me, and I became the first Phoenix to be promoted so quickly opera singer.

Quentin used his long-established prestige in the theater to try to keep me in an inappropriate relationship with him.Helena was jealous that I took away her leading actress position, and secretly put glass shards in my dancing shoes. "

"If it wasn't for Timothy, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here intact. He didn't harm any kind people. So, sir, can you let him go." Tears welled up in Christina's eyes, she begged Look at Jiqiu.

Jacob shouted angrily, "What about me, Miss Christina, I didn't hurt you, but that gentleman wants me to die!"

Esposito gave him a cold look, and Jacob shrank his neck in fear, "I can control the wind and make the pillar deviate before it falls."

"Okay." Jiqiu stroked what Christina said. She walked in front of the Phantom, and reached out to touch his exposed skin. It was cold and delicate, a bit like a snake's touch.

"The last question, I think only Mr. Esposito can answer, how did you become what you are now?"

Jiqiu is more curious about the truth of this unscientific event than those miserable inspirational stories.

"." Esposito turned his head and looked at Christina, who was looking forward to it. He didn't tell his beloved girl about his life, and finally spoke in his own hoarse voice, "This is not a very pleasant story. s story."

"I was originally a respected pianist and singer, but a fire destroyed my appearance. Since then, no orchestra is willing to let me perform, and all the movements I compose are rejected. In the end, I was so poor that I had to sign an unequal contract to work for a circus... That circus specially recruited a group of monsters like me, locked us in iron cages, and watched it... I couldn't bear it This life without dignity, where one night I jumped into the flames of a bonfire."

"To my surprise, I was still alive, the fire didn't consume my body, but gave me a new life, regained consciousness and found myself in a burning theater.

In the end, I had the ability like a wizard. I thought I would spend a hundred years in this loneliness.

Unexpectedly, Christina appeared. Like a ray of light, she saved my soul. We depended on each other for life. I taught her what I had learned before. "

Christina hugged Phantom emotionally, "It's all over, Timothy. We will always be together and never separate."

Jiqiu rubbed the space between his eyebrows, "This is a very interesting story."

The little lovers embracing in front of them looked at her together, as if they were waiting for the priest's sentence. Their future lives were all in the mind of teenagers.

"It's getting late." Jiqiu looked up at the dark sky outside the window and sighed, "If you don't go home, Dad will be angry."

Everyone present was overwhelmed by the boy's tortuous brain circuit, and didn't know how to answer.
