Chapter 265
Alex took the stage, and as expected, he was stellar. His lesson was like a chain of fireworks, each part setting off the next, totally mesmerizing everyone. They clung to every word, and every so often, one could hear someone let out a ‘wow“.
It was during this class that Evangeline found out Alex was not just a violin virtuoso–he was a wizard on the piano and saxophone too.
She let out a little embarrassed chuckle. She supposed she did not know Alex as well as she thought.
Just as she was getting lost in Alex’s epic talk, her phone had to go and ruin the vibe, blaring out of her pocket.
The magic spell was broken, and all eyes darted to Evangeline.
That was when it hit her–her phone was the culprit.
She was here to learn, and she entirely forgot to silence her phone!
Feeling her face heat up, she mumbled a ‘sorry‘ to Alex and bolted from the room..

Before Evangeline could even answer, he was already rambling.
“Who am I kidding? I was a mess when I heard the news, and here I am telling you to keep cool. That’s not exactly fair, is it?”
it was obvious that Holden was anxious, barely making sense.
