Chapter 49
I felt like I was holding my breath. My eyes darted between Gordon and Sabrina.
I felt like a curious but pathetic spectator, silently waiting for the drama to unfold.
My emotions were in a mess. I couldn’t find the words to describe exactly how I felt.
At the sound of Sabrina’s voice, Gordon hesitantly turned around. He scanned the crowd until his gaze settled on her slender figure.
She seemed to be the one destined for him. When his eyes landed on her, his gaze appeared as though he had fallen in love at first sight.
They stared at each other from afar, and their eyes were deeply drawn to one another.
Sabrina’s gaze shimmered with a youthful boldness and innocence. It was akin to someone exploring the world for the first time and unafraid of the unknown.
While Gordon’s eyes showed a hint of confusion, there was also a subtle glimmer of something else that was hard to pinpoint.
“Hmm?” he responded softly.
His voice was as deep and melodious as a cello, holding more meaning than mere words could convey.
“If you can’t find a replacement, I’m willing to take the stage. I’ve had piano lessons, and I can… play.”
Sabrina was quite bold. Despite being a newly graduated intern, she didn’t hesitate to step forward in
front of everyone and volunteer.
However, her self–recommendation caught everyone off guard. Her immediate supervisor, Hannah, quickly grabbed her wrist.
“Sabrina, don’t be rash. Carly is one of the top pianists in the country. How can you compete with her?”
she cautioned.
But Sabrina remained confident.
Her eyes never left Gordon’s as she declared, “I may not be as good as Carly, but I have a Grade 10 piano
certificate. Given the urgency of the situation, I’m willing to give it a shot.”
I noticed Gordon had been watching her closely. When Sabrina spoke those words, I could see a glint of
approval in his eyes.
His lips parted slightly as if he were about to say something. Given past events, he would have agreed to Sabrina’s request, offering her a remarkable opportunity to shine.
But this time, I had been preparing in secret.
As he was about to speak, I interrupted, “I’ll take care of the piano performance later. I’ve had some experience playing the piano before, and Carly was my mentor for a while. Since she can’t make it, I’ll step
in for her.”
As soon as I said this, all the backstage staff turned their attention to me.
Gordon’s gaze shifted from Sabrina to me..
Clearly, he didn’t know I could play the plano, so his eyes were filled with doubt.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
I nodded.
“Yeah, I should be fine.”
“Don’t worry, Tay will be okay. She was a plano prodigy when she was young and even won international awards. With her on stage, everything will be fine!” Selena exclaimed loudly as she appeared at the backstage entrance.
She was indeed my best friend.
Her testimony immediately dispelled Gordon’s doubts.
With the performance time approaching, he firmly grasped my hand, saying in a deep voice, “Okay. I’ll be
counting on you.”
I smiled faintly.
“Don’t worry. Let the host set the stage first.”
Once the decision was made, everyone promptly returned to
work, busying themselves with their tasks.
