“How did you choke on tea?” she complained.
“Mom, I’m going to the washroom,” Angela said before standing up and leaving the dining table. She
walked very quickly, leaving the private room as if she were fleeing from it. She had no intention of
going to the washroom; she just wanted to go outside for a breath of fresh air.
Just then, she was drawn to the sound of the piano in the hall. Involuntarily, she came all the way into
the hall from the private room, only to see someone performing a piano piece at the scene. After
standing there for a while, she noticed that the young lady on stage seemed to be leaving, upon which
an idea came to her mind. I have nothing to do, anyway. She went over and asked the manager if she
could play the piano.
The manager quickly nodded and replied with a smile, “Yes, of course. Feel free to play it, miss.”
Angela walked up to the piano and sat down. With her slender fingers, she seemed to be born to play
the piano. A moving string of musical notes sounded in the restaurant, causing many diners to turn
their eyes toward the piano in amazement. When they saw a different lady sitting at the piano, they
were attracted to her good looks. She was dressed in white while wearing her hair down. What
captivated them the most was her delicate features. She looked graceful and refreshing, like the warm
sunshine in this freezing winter.
Getting carried away for a moment, she closed her eyes slightly. However, her fingers danced fluidly
across the keyboard, bringing the most melodious music to people’s ears.
A middle-aged female diner got so entranced by the music that she couldn’t help but praise, “Her skills
are close to that of a grandmaster, right?”
“Uh-huh. I wonder which family she’s from. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s so skilled at playing the
piano.”
A man was striding into the hall through the entrance with sturdy and slender legs. Dressed in a black
trench coat, he projected a commanding presence. He walked in long strides, as if he were coming for
dinner in a hurry. However, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he was drawn to the sound of the
piano. playing smoothly.
When he looked up in the piano’s direction, his dark and deep pupils shrank; he couldn’t believe that
the young lady playing the piano on stage was none other than Angela.
At this moment, Angela was closing her eyes while lowering them slightly. Her face, which was even
more gorgeous than flowers, looked pure and pretty under the spotlight like that of an otherworldly
spirit.
The man standing in the hall probably never thought he would meet the person he wanted to see the
most in the restaurant. Richard couldn’t move an inch.
In an instant, his eyes betrayed a hint of tenderness; even his lips curled into a smile. He stared at the
lady on stage just like that, whereas she lost herself in the music without realizing that there was an
important figure among her audience.
Noticing that Angela’s piano piece seemed to be coming to a stop. Richard finally came to his senses.
He quickly stepped behind a pillar that happened to conceal his figure. The diner at the table next to
the pillar looked at him in bewilderment, but his gaze was directed. toward the piano.
Placing her hands on the piano, Angela was in a trance for a moment. Just then, a waiter came over
with a glass of red wine. He said to her, “Miss, a customer has ordered a glass of red wine for you.”
