Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
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 musicshow by talented musicians.

“On a side note, we have a mini interactive corner for today’s event that is–two lucky audiences wouldbe 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 MusicSchool, 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 stageand 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 simplyassumed 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 familiarwith 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 atplaying 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.
