“Good evening, everyone. I'm Lynette, and this is my brother, Leon. We are Mr. Batton’s grandchildren.” Lynette Batton announced into the microphone as she introduced herself and Leon Batton to the guests.
“We have prepared a little performance for our grandfather, so please enjoy it,” she added as she took her place next to the microphone while Leon sat in front of the piano.
All eyes were on them at that moment as the two of them became the center of attention.
Then, he placed his hands over the piano and began to play, his fingers dancing gracefully on the black and white keys. His perfect face from the side looked like a portrait.
The guests were mesmerized by the music.
Then, Lynette waited for her cue before she began to sing the song she had prepared in advance, The Brightest Star.
She had the voice of a nightingale. Nobody spoke during their performance, and they all quietly listened to her beautiful singing.
Everyone seemed to indulge in the song, its touching melody drawing everyone in to feel its emotional nuances.
Finally, the piano stopped abruptly at the last note, and everybody seemed eager for more. The audience broke into thunderous applause.
They couldn’t stop praising the talented duo up on stage—
“They are way too good. I’ve never heard such a good song before. They both look lovely up there, and they’re also very talented. They’re born to be idols!”
“Lynette’s singing is even better than some mainstream singers!”
“That was amazing. I’m so glad I came to Mr. Batton’s birthday party and to see such a wonderful performance!”
“Leon is fantastic at playing piano, too! He’s practically as talented as world-renowned maestros! They both look gorgeous, too!”
“I finally saw a perfect performance today. Suddenly, I realize those professional idols in the entertainment industry aren’t even that talented in comparison.”
