Stella hadnât felt so relaxed for a long time.
Ever since her parents passed away, she seldom had the chance to play the piano. Sometimes, when the urge to play arose, she would spend an hour at a piano shop indulging herself.
Dancing, on the other hand, was unlike playing the piano. She could dance anywhere as long as she wanted to, but playing the piano came at a price.
Her measly salary barely fed herself and Roger, and the pressure of financial burden wore her down day by day. How could she possibly afford something as luxurious as a piano?
Elegant notes of music flowed from her fingers.
She was relaxed and happy, and the smile on her face was genuine.
The joy of music was infectious-Yvonne was so absorbed in the performance that she couldnât help but film Stellaâs performance. The long-haired young man initially thought that Stella was his type and wanted to chat her up. She even knew the name of the tune he was playing, and inviting her to a piano duet sealed the deal for him. However, he did not expect her to be so skilled with the instrument.
She began slightly unfamiliar with her hands, but as she eventually got the flow, it was easy to tell of the exquisite standards she held as a player.
The two played on with a choreographed harmony, and exchanged a smile.
There was a look of satisfaction in both their eyes, having found their bosom friend.
Stella didnât think too much of it, and simply thought of her partner as a friend she could exchange her music with.
The smile they exchanged, however, felt different to others who were also watching.
Especially for Weston.
Lucas did not expect to see Stella at such a place, and instinctively turned to look at the man beside him. âSeems like I misunderstood you earlier. Thereâs really nothing between you and Ella.â
Lucas had said it deliberately, and Weston could tell that he was teasing, but he didnât respond. The sight of the genuine smile on Stellaâs face made frustration grow in his heart.
Although he said nothing, Lucas did not let up on the chance to tease him further. âI donât like to poke my nose in other peopleâs business, and I wonât stop you from having an affair. But you donât seem to be having an easy time reigning her in?â Weston shot him a cold look as the corner of his lips lifted in a sardonic sneer. âStop being so anxious to talk about me. Your lady isnât giving you a much better time, either.â Westonâs remark made him collect himself. He followed Westonâs gaze and saw a most famillar looking woman seated on the other side of the piano She was filming the scene with her phone when a young man walked over to her and tapped on her shoulders Instead of rejecting his advances, Yvonne began chatting happily with him Yvonne looked stunning and was lively and passionate in character Such types were very popular amongst men Beautiful, cheerful, and knew how to have a good time she would be an excellent choice for a partner, presentable in any situation Yvonne had become less forward after marrying Lucas Lucas was quiet and reserved, and even ladies who tried to pursue him did so at a distance, not daring to come too close Yvonne knew that Lucas did not like her interacting with random men, and therefore hadnât been coming to places like this to relax for a while Now that she finally had a chance to, she found it difficult to hold herself back The man who had tried to approach Yvonne saw that she wasnât stuck up or proud in any way and thought that she must be interested in himself as he was her Thus, he said confidently.â Hey gorgeous, shall we add each other as contacts Yvonne shook her head and with her phone still aimed towards Stella playing plano with another man, she replied with an unwavering smile, âIâm sorry, Iâm already married With that, she flashed the ring on her finger The man was stunned for a moment. âYou must be kidding me Is it in trend nowadays to wear a ring to such venues so that you can give others a rude shock? Yvonne raised a brow and glared back at him âI canât help it if thatâs what you think.â
The man was hesitant about what to do next He couldnât really figure out what Yvonne was really thinking, but he didnât want to give up on the chance, esther Such a good woman was rare to come by If he were to miss his chance tonight, he had no idea when the next time heâd come across someone so fabulous would be
