Female Novel
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 295
Chapter 295
Stella had an uneasy expression, “Wouldn’t I be taking advantage of you? What if the song I choose issomething you aren’t familiar with? Wouldn’t you be at a loss? Let’s forget about it.”
The corner of Bella’s lips twitched, and she thought, ‘Just to give herself an excuse, she would reallydare to say anything.”
She could now confirm that Stella did not know how to play the piano. Otherwise, she would not haverefused time and time again. Stella had made a fool of Bella just now, so how could Bella let her off thateasily? The more she did not want to come, the more Bella tried to invite her.
Bella smiled and said, “You can choose at your own ease. I will definitely be able to follow your tempo.Mr. Kane would definitely look forward to your performance.”
Stella looked at Keegan and whispered, “Do I really need to go?”novelbin
Keegan glanced at her and replied, “Up to you.”
Stella was slightly upset and said, “Then, I humbly oblige.”
As she went and left with Bella, Vermont said, “Bella’s piano skills are at grade seven. She can playany regular song well. Are you sure she would be fine?”
Keegan opened the bottle of water that Stella had just drank and took a sip. Only then did he say, “Atmost, she would embarrass herself since she is used to that.”
Vermont raised an eyebrow and did not speak further. Bella handed the manuscript to Stella when theysat before the piano.
“Mrs. Kane, you can choose a song.
Stella flipped through it and finally stopped at one of the pages. Then, she said, “This one.”
Bella looked and found that it was “Croatian Rhapsody.” The song was challenging to play, and thechord change was swift. Moreover, the strength required for each finger when pressing on the keysdiffered. Hence, it would truly test the performer’s basic skills.
Bella had practiced herself, but her sense of strength was not sufficient. During the climax portion, sheseemed soft and lacked the grandeur the original composition had. Yet, it was enough to go againstStella. Everyone was not a professional, and the song was chosen by Stella. So, the person who wasunable to perform would be the embarrassed one.
“Mrs. Kane, you sure you want to play this?” The excitement in her voice could not be hidden.
Stella nodded her head. “This one, since they are all roughly the same.”
‘Roughly the same? There are drastically different. There are clearly easier songs, such as “For Elise,”at the front of the manuscript. Could it be that she didn’t even understand the manuscript and was justguessing?’ Bella thought.
“Alright, since Mrs. Kane is so sure about playing this, then I will play this one too,” Bella made agesture and said, “After you, Mrs. Kane.”
Stella shook her head. “You should go first. I need to familiarize myself with the tempo.”
Bella twitched her lips and smiled. “Then, I’ll go first.”
Her fingers found the correct keys and went down smoothly. Stella merely heard a few notes and knewthat Bella was unfamiliar with the song. However, she seemed very confident on the surface. Her
speed was also controlled within the range she could handle. Although there were no missed keys, thewhole mood shown was worse than the original. However, everyone present was being courteous, andthey all applauded and praised her.
When Bella had finished playing the first stanza, Stella quickly followed.
The speed of her fingers falling was obviously faster than Bella’s. Her finger movements were smoothand swift, with every pressure the fingers applied differing. She was able to show the power andsoftness through her fingertips. Unlike Bella, who showed intensity by using her arms to crash on thekeys.
A thin layer of sweat started to build on Bella’s nose. Her gaze was captivated by the swift dances ofStella’s fingers. Then, she accidentally pressed the wrong key. With this false key, her whole tempowas messed up, and her finger movements started to lose control.
Stella, instead, was not affected. Her melody was smooth, like a flowing stream. It was unstoppablewith an air of grandness. She also played faster the more she played. In the end, Bella was utterlyunable to keep up, and her expression was pale. With trembling hands, she watched Stella with a faceof concentration and continued playing the piano.
