Chapter 442
Vanta Armstrong, the chief, was playing the plano.
Mia watched his performance as her fingers moved along with the rhythm as though immersed in
the music show.
Two hours later, the music show came to an end.
The applause 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 to come onstage to perform.”
A commotion surged among the crowd.
Mia appeared rather calm because it was an internal decision to pick the top scholars from the Musicnovelbin
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 played 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 it landed upon Mia.
Surprise was evident from her expression.
Did they mistakenly direct the light at her? Was there a miscommunication 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, “Please come on stage and show us what you got. Ladies and gentlemen,
please give her a round of applause.”
That put her in a tough spot. Although she had been practicing piano, the only pieces she was familiar
with were two–the one Claude taught her and that children’s song.

Reflexively, she looked in Claude’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 play an
instrument, you can ask for help. I can gladly 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 play instruments as a hobby,
but I don’t play 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 applause,
everyone.” The host tried to lighten the mood.
After getting onstage, Mia was still all jittery. She raised her gaze and saw Claude, 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
playing piano, never in her life would she let Maya replace her.
Mia seated herself before the piano and rewound the piece taught by Claude in her head. Her
nerves calmed, and she began to play the piece she was most familiar with.
Maya’s expression changed the moment she heard the melody.
