Vanta Armstrong, the chief, was ying the no.


    Mia watched his performance as her fingers moved along with the rhythm as though immersed in


    the music show.


    Two hourster, the music show came to an end.


    The apuse didn’t stop, the host came forward. “It’s an honor to present such a marvelous music


    show by talented musicians.


    “On a side note, we have a mini interactive corner for today’s event that is–two lucky audiences would


    be picked randomly toe onstage to perform.”


    Amotion surged among the crowd.


    Mia appeared rather calm because it was an internal decision to pick the top schrs from the Music


    School, who were highly likely to join the musicians.


    The light shone upon a senior student from the Music School. With grace, she walked up to the stage


    and yed the violin.


    Mia acknowledged her skills because she had a good sense of rhythm.


    Then, it was time for the second audience to be picked.


    Maya, who was at the guest’s seat, flickered her eyes in a direction. The ray of light skirted around

    before itnded upon Mia.


    Surprise was evident from her expression.


    Did they mistakenly direct the light at her? Was there a mimunication among the staff?


    At that time, Kennedy was equally baffled. However, after considering Timothy’s attendance, he simply


    assumed that it was a surprise from Timothy to his wife.


    Just when the host had an idea of how to resolve the issue, Kennedy motioned for the host to


    proceed.


    Hence, the host prompted, “Pleasee on stage and show us what you got. Ladies and gentlemen,


    please give her a round of apuse.”


    That put her in a tough spot. Although she had been practicing piano, the only pieces she was familiar


    with were two–the one ude taught her and that children’s song.

    Reflexively, she looked in ude’s direction. To her surprise, he was all excited about it. “You can


    do it!”


    Mia was rendered speechless. She was asking for help, not encouragement!


    How could a beginner like her perform in front of a crowd of talented people?


    Right then, Maya stood up and acted generously. “Ms. Bowen, if you don’t know how to y an


    instrument, you can ask for help. I can dly offer a hand.”


    Maya’s triumphant face gave Mia a hint. It was no wonder she was chosen. Maya intended to


    embarrass her in public!


    Taking a deep breath, Mia rose from her seat. “No, thank you. I do y instruments as a hobby,


    but I don’t y them that well. I hope the audience doesn’t mind it.”


    “Don’t take it so seriously. It’s just an interactive corner. Come on, give her a round of apuse,


    everyone.” The host tried to lighten the mood.


    After getting onstage, Mia was still all jittery. She raised her gaze and saw ude, as well as


    Timothy.


    No one could read Timothy’s mind through those eyes.


    But, for whatever reason it was, she didn’t want to give in just like that! No matter how bad she was at


    ying piano, never in her life would she let Maya rece her.


    Mia seated herself before the piano and rewound the piece taught by ude in her head. Her


    nerves calmed, and she began to y the piece she was most familiar with.


    Maya’s expression changed the moment she heard the melody.
