Charlotte felt slightly uneasy. So far, she was thankful for the part-time jobs Felicity offered her. Hence, she never inquired about the specifics.
It had been a long time since Charlotte saw Helena. Truth be told, there wasn’t much conflict between them, but Helena held a grudge against her. And she had become extremely hostile toward Charlotte because of Hector.
Thus, Charlotte was disinclined to have any interactions with her.
Little did she know that she would run into her here.
Luckily, Charlotte had the foresight to wear a mask during her performance, so as to avoid unwanted trouble.
All she could hope was that Helena wouldn’t recognize her.
Before she could dwell on it, Felicity cued her from backstage, leaving her no choice but to begin playing.
Below the stage, many influential figures stepped forward to greet Helena, who enjoyed being the center of attention.
Charlotte’s performance garnered some attention and several guests asked Helena where she hired this pianist who possessed such extraordinary piano skills.
Helena didn’t take it seriously as she treated their inquiries as a compliment.
Soon, the male host of the banquet made an appearance. Helena personally welcomed him and introduced him to all the guests. “This is my boyfriend, Hector Sterling. We hope to receive everyone’s guidance and support.”
Charlotte turned her head to cast a brief glance, her hands on the piano slowing down slightly.
Hector? I can’t believe it!
He has just divorced Luna for slightly over a month, but he’s publicly together with Helena already?
Hector used to be the cherished love of her life, a refined and flawless man. However, his image in her heart was completely ruined at that moment.
Four years ago, he had abandoned her for the sake of his own future and family interests, then married Luna on a whim.
Four years later, he failed to manage his family well and had an affair, which led to the breakdown of his marriage and hammered his career.
