With that, they resumed recording the song, while in the background, Deborah engaged in a conversation with Todd. "Hello Todd, nice to meet you. Apologies for the impromptu meeting," she said, extending a friendly gesture.
Todd smiled, recognizing Deborah as the woman who had been following Adele. He figured she must have heard about his intention to make things difficult for Hamza. "Hello. You wanted to see me?" he asked politely.
"Yes, I'm sure you're aware of the reason behind this meeting, so I'll be straightforward," Deborah began, looking directly at Todd, who nodded, understanding her familiarity with the situation. "The issue with Hamza isn't as simple as it seems. He was deceived and had his music stolen, sold behind his back without his knowledge." Deborah paused slightly, allowing Todd to absorb her words before continuing. "So, if you're concerned about respect, rest assured that Hamza had nothing to do with it. He'll remain silent if you do your part."
