At that moment, Grace came out of the bathroom. “Audrey, can you…”

Halfway through her sentence, Grace saw Amelia sitting in front of the piano that Audrey normally sat in front of. She quickly walked over and said politely, “Miss, this. isn’t the tryout piano. The tryout piano is over there.”

“They’re all pianos. What’s the difference?”

Grace explained, “This piano is specially provided for our pianist…”

“Haha, are you talking about Audrey? She’s your pianist? That’s hilarious!”

Even if Grace was slow in catching up with things, she still realized that something was wrong. She turned and looked at Audrey and asked with her eyes, “What’s going on, Audrey?”

Audrey shook her head at Grace. She then walked up to Amelia and turned to a random page in the book of sheet music placed on the piano. “Let’s play this.”

Amelia looked at the name of the piece of music. Her face instantly changed.

This piece of music wasn’t something that someone at her level could play.

One would at least need to be a grade–eight or -nine pianist to be able to play this piece of music.

Amelia didn’t even know which hand to place on the keys first or which finger should press which key.

“What is it? Do you need time to prepare?” Audrey stood in front of the piano with a smile on her face. “Do you want a round of applause from me?”

With that said, Audrey clapped her hands seriously.

Amelia felt like Audrey’s claps were like slaps landing on her face.

Grace almost burst out laughing.

She tried her best not to laugh and clapped her hands like Audrey. “Don’t be nervous, Miss. You can do it.”

The two girls that came with Amelia also clapped and cheered for Amelia. “Amelia, play a song for them. Let them see what a real pianist is like.”

“That’s right. Let them see what a real pro is like.”

Grace had figured out what was going on now. The three girls definitely knew Audrey and were here deliberately looking for trouble.

Gary had warned Grace multiple times that if someone came to bother Audrey, she would need to inform him.

Therefore, Grace took out her phone and secretly notified Gary.

Gary had worked extra hours the previous day, so he decided to allow himself to get off work early that day.

However, when he got into the car, he saw Grace’s message.

He then notified David immediately.

When David received Gary’s message, he went to replace Tyler.

Tyler was talking about a business plan with a corporate partner. They had just reached the most important part.

David stood at the door and hesitated for quite a while before raising his hand and knocking on the door.

Tyler raised his head and looked at the door. When he saw David, he nodded as a signal that David could come in.

David walked over, leaned in, and said something in Tyler’s ear.

Tyler furrowed his brows and then turned to look at the corporate partner. “I’m sorry. Something urgent has just come up. I need to go and take care of it. The project can. carry on according to your will.”

The corporate partner was a little stunned. He had thought of a dozen different ways to convince Tyler, but he seemed to have gotten what he wanted before he could use any

of them.

Tyler stood up and reached out his hand politely. “I hope we have a pleasant. cooperation.”

The corporate partner was in a daze for a few seconds before reaching out to shake Tyler’s hand. “Same here.”

The corporate partner was afraid that Tyler would regret his decision, so he quickly picked up his pen and signed the contract after he finished shaking hands with Tyler. “Then I won’t disturb Mr. Russell anymore. Let me treat you to a meal sometime.”

Tyler nodded. “No problem. David, see our guest out.”

David nodded and accompanied the corporate partner to the elevator.

When the corporate partner had left, David returned to the office. “Mr. Russell…”

“Go start the car.” Tyler interrupted David, bent down, and signed the contract on the table after scanning through it.

David nodded and left.

The girl who was closest to Amelia saw that Amelia didn’t look so good, so she asked quietly, “Amelia, do you not feel well?”

Amelia really wanted to seal their mouths shut. If it weren’t for them, she wouldn’t have been in such a difficult position.

However, the girl’s words gave Amelia an excuse to not play the piano.

She was just about to say something, but Audrey had beaten her to it. “You’re a grade- nine pianist. This song is what a pianist must learn when they first reach grade nine. If you don’t feel well, then just play the prelude.”

After saying that, Audrey bent down a little and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, “Do you know how to play this song?”

Amelia raised her head and glared at Audrey. “It’s one of the easiest songs for a grade- nine pianist. What’s so hard about it?”

“Then off you go.”

Amelia tried her best to recall how Audrey played the piano before and placed her hands on the keyboard.

There were a lot of customers in the store at the moment, and they had all gathered around.

The first press of the keys made an awkward sound that made everyone present furrow their brows.

Even the two girls who came with Amelia were taken aback.

“I… I pressed the wrong key,” Amelia explained.

Audrey didn’t choose to expose Amelia. “It’s alright. I know you’re nervous.”

Amelia just wanted to slap Audrey in the face at that moment, but she had no choice. but to pretend to be calm.

This time, the piano didn’t make any awkward sounds, but the song Amelia played was

nothing like what was written on the sheet music.

“That’s not right. I’ve heard this song before. It’s a different tune.”

One of the passersby asked, “Miss, what song were you just playing? How come I’ve never heard of it?”

When Amelia finished playing the song, she quickly stood up.

She didn’t play the song Audrey had given her, but she didn’t do that bad.

“It was great.” The girls who came with Amelia clapped their hands.

The crowd also clapped their hands politely.

Audrey clapped her hands as well and then said, “This song can be played by children at the beginners stage, but you play it much better. You’re quite good. Keep up the hard

work.

As soon as David walked into the store, he heard this “compliment.” After that, het couldn’t help but laugh.

Audrey looked in the direction of the sound. When she saw who walked in from the entrance, she was stunned.

Tyler locked eyes with Audrey and then looked away indifferently. It was as if he didn’t like her.

At that moment, the girl who stood beside Amelia became mad at Audrey’s words. “What do you mean by this song can be played by children at the beginners level? Do you even know anything about playing the piano?”

“She’s right. You make yourself sound like you know everything. You’re just a fake.”

Audrey smiled. “I…”

“You’re right. She is a fake.” Audrey’s words we His gaze a familiar man’s voice.

The man’s tall figure walked through the crowd. His gaze landed on Audrey. “Since you know so much about pianos, how about you play a song for us?”

“Is this guy out of his mind?” Audrey wondered.

She felt that their relationship should have improved after she had treated him to a meal.

She didn’t expect their relationship to become worse.

“What? Don’t you know how to play the piano?” Tyler walked forward. “Then what she

said is quite…”

Audrey glared at Tyler, turned around, and sat down in front of the piano. After that, Audrey played a pleasant piece of music using her slender fingers. It was as if she had shut Tyler up.

Tyler looked at Audrey, who was playing the piano seriously. His l*ps curved a little.
