Everyone was stunned, but soon they were captivated by the melody she played.
Everyone was immersed in it, not even noticing that Callie had finished playing.
Iyana looked at her in disbelief, realizing that she had lost this competition completely.
Callie’s finger technique and superb skill completely crushed Iyana. She could actually play the piano! And she was indeed a level ten piano scholar!
Iyana felt like she had shot herself in the foot… It really hurt…
Regan was the first to clap excitedly, “Bravo!”
With her leading, the others followed with applause, whether they were convinced or reluctant.
In the corner, Nelson received many envious glances. They began to praise Mrs. Oconnor, not realizing the sadness in his eyes.
Callie could play the piano? He never knew.
She didn’t leave after finishing; she looked somewhat lost in Nelson’s direction, her eyes clouded with a faint sorrow.
Her slender fingers moved before her mind, continuing to play.
This time it was… Fur Elise.
She had learned the piano at school. In a past relationship, someone had said she wasn’t a good match for him because she couldn’t even play the piano. She felt angry and inferior upon hearing that. So he took her to the school piano room and said with youthful pride, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t play. I’ll teach you. Others don’t even have the privilege of being taught by me.”
Callie laughed and worriedly said, “But I have no foundation at all.”
That wasn’t within his considerations.
He held his girlfriend’s hand, making it dance on the keys, teaching her to recognize the keys, identify pieces, and learn finger techniques and skills.
He taught her piece by piece, patiently throughout their entire university life.
She was the only one he personally taught in the whole world.
At that moment, the piano music abruptly stopped-
Iyana had secretly unplugged the power! She couldn’t let Callie continue playing. If this went on, everyone would laugh at her tomorrow!
Callie stopped her movements, opened her eyes, and returned to this flashy world, looking around in confusion.
Nelson appeared behind her at some point, taking her hand and bringing her to his side, declaring his possession.
“Nelson?”
Nelson smiled at her, squeezing her hand for comfort, “Mrs. Oconnor, you’ve worked hard.”
Iyana stood nearby with a pale face, scared of Nelson’s coldness towards her. She apologized first, “Mr. Oconnor… I was too abrupt today…”
Nelson ignored her, full of impatience, “My wife’s time is very precious. Not just anyone can take it up.”
Iyana had lost all face today but couldn’t say anything. She wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.
“Miss Hart, if you want to compete next time, it’s better to find those actors from your industry.” Nelson was as sharp as ever. Wasn’t he implying that Iyana was also an actor?
“I… I understand.”
Nelson’s eyes narrowed slightly as he warned her this time, “Everything should be done in moderation. As Scott Group’s spokesperson, didn’t your agency tell you to pay attention to your image? Otherwise, the consequences could be severe.”
Iyana’s face turned red and blue, almost crying, “Yes… yes…”
Nelson took Callie’s hand and left, saying indifferently, “Well done. You have the demeanor of Mrs. Oconnor.”
