As soon as Iris and the band members reached backstage, Blaze and Thunder started cheering in triumph. Even the usually silent and brooding Night had an uncharacteristic grin on his face.

"That was out of this world, Senior Iris!" Blaze exclaimed. "We had no idea that you can play the guitar like that! It’s official. You’re the coolest female I know in my entire life!"

"Yeah! I think that was the best performance we ever had as a band. Goddess, you’re the best!" Thunder added.

Night nodded.

Iris tilted her head to the side. "You’re incomplete as a band tonight, so it doesn’t count."

At the reminder of their missing band mate, Eros, the three felt guilty. They were still happy about their performance but now they realized that the feeling was incomplete because they weren’t sharing it with their brother.

She smiled seeing their expressions. "Don’t worry. We’ll perform again when Eros is healed from his injuries. Then we’ll aim to really have your best performance as a complete band."

"Really, Senior? You want to perform with us again? That’s not just lip service, right?" Blaze asked.

"Yes, I want to work with you again after this," she replied.

"I’m so stoked!" Thunder pumped his fists in the air and moved to pounce on Iris for a friendly hug but someone grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him forcefully away. "What the hell, man?! What are you do—"

Although the face was covered, poor Thunder could still feel the ferocious glare behind the mask and shades.

"S-sorry, man...Ch-chill out, ’kay?"

Iris gently removed the hand gripping Thunder’s collar. Then she rubbed the hand and smiled at the masked man. The dangerous aura coming from the tall man disappeared.

The three band members heaved sighs of big relief. However, they soon watched Iris and her bodyguard more carefully. The two weren’t doing anything inappropriate, but they could see that Iris treated her bodyguard with affection. In turn, they noticed that the bodyguard stood too closely to her.

They had suspicions about the relationship between the two, but it wasn’t any of their business. Besides, she helped them tremendously tonight. Not only that, she made their performance shine in many ways that they couldn’t achieve on their own. They might be foolish at times, but they wouldn’t bite the hand that fed them.

"I had a great time performing with you. I need to return to my dressing room now and get ready for my next performance," she told them.

"Of course, Senior. Thank you very much for your help tonight! We’ll stay and make sure to watch your performance later and cheer for you."

She nodded and left them. The masked Jin Liwei walked beside her while Dom and Jiang Ying Yue followed behind them. On their way to the dressing room, the show’s staff and the other artists greeted her warmly, and praised and congratulated her for her performance with Pandemonium.

Finally, they reached her dressing room. As soon as the door closed, Jin Liwei removed his mask, pulled Iris in his arms and kissed her deeply.

"Turn around!" Jiang Ying Yue barked at the shocked make-up artist and hair stylist. "You too, Dom!"

Dom pretended not to hear her, opening his eyes wider as if doing so could make him see the hot scene in front of him more clearly. However, Jiang Ying Yue was serious. She threw a towel over Dom’s head to obstruct his view. Then she promptly turned around from the couple.

"Sorry, love. I couldn’t stop myself," Jin Liwei murmured after the kiss.

He felt so much better now that his baby girl was in his arms. He knew that he had no reason to feel jealous of the three pests, but seeing them acting too familiarly with her just awakened the ugly green-eyed monster within him.

"Mmn..." Iris hugged his waist, feeling good after the kiss.

She had no idea that it was a punishment kiss because he was jealous. She thought that it was her present for performing well onstage.

"You were magnificent. So beautiful. The best," he told her while stroking her hair and kissing her head.

She smiled and hugged him tighter. "Thanks, darling."

They were interrupted by the loud sound of a ringing phone.

"Oopsie doopsie~ Sorry boss, sir boss!" Dom removed the towel from his head and answered his phone. "Hello, Big Sis Yiyi? How’s Eros? Oh, that’s a relief. I’m glad that he’s okay. Ehehe. I know, right? Boss was so amazing! She rocked the stage! Of course, the others were great too... Okay, okay. Here’s boss."

Iris released Jin Liwei’s waist and spoke to her manager on the phone. Jin Liwei wore the mask again and then sat on the couch.

The make-up artist and hair stylist cautiously turned around, looking at him. They weren’t able to clearly see his features earlier when he removed his mask. They were burning with curiosity, but they held their tongues. Unlike before, Iris hired her own make-up artist and hair stylist. She didn’t want to depend on Bright Summit to provide her with a glam team all the time. Before she hired them, she made them sign Non-Disclosure Agreements to protect her private matters. This was the first time that these two worked with her.

They thought that the tall masked man was Iris’ bodyguard but after seeing the two acting so intimate, they now concluded that the two were lovers. Their attention was also now caught by the diamond ring on Iris’ finger. Their tongues wanted to wag so badly, but they stopped themselves. Not only would they get into legal trouble for violating the NDA if they gossiped, but they also didn’t want to lose their jobs because Iris paid well.

After the phone call, Iris instructed the two to change her hairstyle and modify her make-up for her solo performance later. She also changed into another dress. They watched the other performances on the TV in the room while waiting for her turn.
