Hannah couldn't get enough of the performance, her mind replaying every little moment with a hint of regret for being so absorbed that she hadn't captured their duet on her phone.
"I'll have to scour the internet for a video later, I need to relive that performance at least ten thousand times, it was just too good," Hannah said, her voice bubbling with excitement.
But Alma's smile was strained, as she forced herself to look away, determined not to focus on the excitement still buzzing nearby.
Back at Reflections Villa, Arabella was greeted by Louisa, who was inexplicably wielding a glow stick and ran up to her, practically vibrating with excitement.
"Bella, you were amazing out there. I hereby declare myself your number one fan starting today!"
"I'm on board too! I was whooping and hollering up a storm!" Kenneth joined in, brandishing his own glow stick.
The staff, caught up in the excitement, crowded around.
"Ms. Bella, you were phenomenal! Between 'Melody' and 'Summer'."
"You really surprised us in the best way possible!"
"Who would've thought you'd overshadow David?"
"You've inherited all the best from this family, and then some, you're just incredible!"
When Arabella noticed the last servant's voice was hoarse, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened to your voice?"
"Your concert with David tonight. I got a little too excited cheering," was the reply, which made Arabella chuckle.
"I'm a huge fan of yours! Every time I clock out, I go straight to my room and listen to your songs," confessed the maid Coco, mustering the courage to pull out a notebook from behind her back. "Would it be too much to ask for your autograph? I promise it'll be just for me."
"Ms. Bella, I'd love an autograph too." another maid, Ilana, held out her own notebook, a mixture of hope and nervousness in her eyes.
"Ms. Bella, I'd like more than an autograph, I'd love to take a picture with you," said the third maid, Judy.
