Vanta Armstrong, the chief, was playing the piano.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 music show by talented musicians. "On a side note, we have a mini interactive corner for today's event that is—two lucky audiences would be 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 Music School, 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 stage and 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 direct

Mia shook her head. "No, I'm not from the Music School. I just started learning the piano not long ago.""But you played it so well! Who's your tutor? Do you mind sharing the details with me?"Her eyes darted at Claude as she smiled shyly. "Someone important to me."Her voice dropped, and the audience squealed. Timothy gave Claude a fleeting glimpse, his mood now worse than before. He looked at Mia, who was smiling brightly onstage.So, it was someone important to her, huh?Timothy loosened his tie, feeling very annoyed.Claude intentionally gave Timothy a look. "You hear that? I am the one who's important to Mia."Timothy couldn't comprehend how men were flocking to her after the divorce.When Claude made his way toward Mia, Maya couldn't sit still anymore. She followed him, wanting to know exactly what sort of feelings Claude harbored for Mia.The audience seat was empty, but Timothy was still sitting there in low spirits.Kennedy approached him. "Mr. Barrett, congratulat

Timothy left right away. Claude was infuriated. This was the first for him to encounter that level of arrogance. If it weren't for Mia, he would've dealt with him on his own. Maya's heart skipped a beat when she heard Timothy. Nonetheless, it was crucial to discover Mia's identity and to know whether the Lane family was aware of her identity. Dashing after Claude, she groveled, "Mr. Lane, you're seemingly close with Mia. In fact, she's quite close with Connor as well."Claude halted his steps. Dropping his gaze, he asked, "What are you implying?""N-Nothing, I'm just curious. Don't you all reside in Nord City? When did you get close to Mia? How did you guys meet?"It dawned on Claude that Maya began to suspect something. He recalled the prelude of the piano piece earlier, which was also the tune Mia learned back at the orphanage when she was young.Since Maya was from the same orphanage, he wouldn't be surprised if the piece sounded familiar to her. But did she begin to doubt

Confused, Dana asked, "How can I help you?"Maya took out her phone and played an audio clip. "Are you the one playing this piece in the music room?""Yeah, I am." Still feeling quite perplexed, she inquired, "Ms. Lane, you mentioned that you're looking for your childhood friend?""That's right. I visited that orphanage in the past, and a friend from the orphanage helped me out when I was lost. "I haven't lived in Bern City for years. I toiled my way here to find my childhood friend, but I couldn't seem to find her given how drastically things have changed. "The only clue is this piece—she's the only one who knows how to play it."Dana immediately thought of Mia. She taught her this piece, after all. Though they came from the same orphanage, Mia was no longer around when Dana arrived since she was two years younger than Mia.Nonetheless, Dana had always been fond of Mia. A smile spread across her face. "I know where she is."She was certain that Maya was looking for Mia. Fate

"Oh, sure. Thanks.""Don't mention it. You're my only best friend," Maya chirped, flashing a warm smile at Dana. Seeing how tempted she was, Maya had a bold idea. Maybe she could use Dana to get rid of Mia. Standing upright, Maya's nonchalant gaze loomed over Dana. "I'm busy, so I have to leave now. We can go for tea and shopping next time. I've got some gifts for you too.""No problem. Go ahead." Dana watched Maya leave after adding her contact. She pinched her arm until it turned red, finally realizing that it wasn't a dream. It wasn't a fictional story. It actually happened! Thrill riddled her as she realized she finally seized her opportunity to shine. The thought of her work being published or adapted sent her reveling in joy. Just then, her phone rang. It was Mia. Dana almost dropped her phone. Did Mia find out? Or did Maya go to her instead? Though Dana had never done something guilty in her life, she found it impossible to turn down Maya's offers. It was only na
