Chapter 280
Beverly’s appearance surprised me, as I hadn’t expected to see her at night after Isabella talked about her in the morning.
As we were only a short distance away, I could clearly see her slender fingers flying over the piano keys, the dazzling diamond pendant around her neck, and the diamond earrings in her ears.
However, those were not the reasons why she caught my attention. What surprised me was that she was wearing the exact same dress as mine.
In that instant, I turned red and upset because I couldn’t believe another woman was wearing the same outfit as mine.
It didn’t matter if I met a woman in the same outfit on the street, but it was downright embarrassing when that happened in a place like this.
Not really understanding why Beverly was wearing the same dress, I stared at her.
The diamond pendant around her neck and the diamond earrings in her ears matched her dress perfectly. On the other hand, despite wearing a pendant and a pair of earrings as well, I paled in comparison to her onstage.
I finally realized why Eric had given me the odd look moments ago, as he must have known which dress Beverly was wearing.
Clutching the jacket to my body, I was relieved that Dylan had loaned me his jacket. Otherwise, I would be extremely
embarrassed because if others found out that I was dressed in the same outfit as the world famous and beautiful pianist, I would be ridiculed.
Beverly’s beauty has surprised Dylan in the past. I’m sure he’s just as impressed now. However, when I turned my attention back to him, I realized he was looking at me and not the woman on stage.

Dylan’s action successfully calmed my anxiety and boosted my self-esteem. Somehow I glanced at Eric to find out if he was laughing at me. Surprisingly, he was looking intently at the stage.
I had never seen him in such an attentive state before. To be precise, I wasn’t next to him, so I didn’t know what he looked like when he was focused. However, judging by his expression, I could tell he was absorbed in the music.
Evidently, Beverly must be charming enough to get Eric’s full attention.
Casting my gaze between Beverly and Eric, I tried to make a comparison between them. Beverly was a beautiful and talented woman, while Eric was handsome, rich and single. If they got together, they would be the epitome of a couple made in heaven.
Besides, if they fell in love, Isabella would be relieved too.
Although Isabella always scolded Jeremy, I knew that deep in her heart she was in love with him.
Just when I was deep in my own thoughts, the music suddenly stopped.
After Beverly’s piano performance ended, she bowed to the audience and walked down the stage. Her slender figure was actually surprisingly attractive.
Isabella said I looked like a fairy in this dress because she hadn’t seen Beverly in the same outfit before. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have described me that way.
Just when I was humbling myself at the thought, Dylan suddenly leaned into my ear. Stunned, I subconsciously pulled away from
