After Emily let out a short gasp, she laughed stiffly and said, “Young Master Sanders, it’s called ‘Relentless Glimmer’.”
“Oh, right, ‘Relentless Glimmer’. My bad, Miss Emily. I was mistaken.”
Upon hearing that, she let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t catch on. Pursing her lips, she said empathetically, “It’s not your fault, Young Master Sanders. I am to blame for not giving a better explanation of my work and making it hard for you to remember.”
He smiled with his lips pressed together and did not respond any further.
Shifting her gaze toward Henry, she lowered her head bashfully and asked, “Is there something on my face, Young Master Moss?”
Henry knitted his brows together and blurted, “What?”
“If not, why were you staring at me earlier? I actually thought I had something on my face.”
When she was on stage earlier, she did not dare to see whether he was looking at her or not, but now that she was off the stage, she realized that he was still staring at her.
What else could it mean other than that he had caught feelings for her?
When he heard her question, he touched his chin awkwardly and explained, “You’re mistaken, Miss Emily. I just wanted to ask you about your original—”
As soon as she heard the word ‘original’, she became alarmed and looked right at him. “What is that, Young Master Moss? Did you want to ask about the originality of this piece? I wrote it during my time at the Royal Academy of Music in Yobril. Do you have any other questions?”
When he saw how frantic she was, he immediately lost interest and did not pry any further.
Janet looked up calmly and smiled. “Miss Emily, did you rearrange the latter part of the piece? It sounds quite different from the first part.”
Emily was taken aback. “Don’t tell me you know about piano too, Miss J’Adore?”
She was already aware of that. J’Adore had played a piano piece at Mason’s twenty-sixth birthday banquet before, and her performance was even more spectacular than Rebecca’s.
Emily just did not know how J’Adore would compare to herself.
Nonetheless, J’Adore was just an amateur at the very most while she was a professional pianist.
In response to Emily’s inquiry, Janet chuckled and answered leisurely, “I know a little bit, but I still lack tremendously compared to you, Miss Emily.”
Emily gave a modest reply. “You’re being too kind, Miss J’Adore. After all, this is my expertise. If you’re able to get a few lessons from Hilbert, you will definitely be better than me.” Even though she was saying that, she thought, But you’re not fortunate enough to be noticed by Hilbert.
Still, she did not dare to voice her thoughts.
When Henry heard that, he teased, “Why don’t you go up and play a piece, Mrs. Lowry?”
His deep and attractive voice slowly seeped into their hearts.
Janet simply laughed when she heard him. “Forget it. This is Miss Emily’s home ground. Don’t break the rules.”
“What are you saying? I’ve heard a lot about how skilled you are at playing the piano, Miss J’Adore! If you can play a piece here today, it would be my honor.” Emily smiled as she left a hypocritical remark. She sneered to herself, You’re just making up excuses because you’re too scared to go on stage. But I can see why; if you go on stage, it will create such a big distinction between us. Apart from humiliating yourself, you will also dishonor the entire Lowry Family. It would be hilarious!
Mason smirked and said in an icy voice, “Darling.” Reaching out to stroke her cheek, he coddled, “You’re being too modest!”
