Chapter 102
"Frankly speaking," Cece answered carefully, "any normal woman won't accept it, either. Sometimes,
it's a way to keep the relationship and a way to bond."
Cece looked at the depressed-looking Vicky and asked softly, "Vicky, do you think Mister Hart is a
stranger, and you can't accept him for the time being after you lost your memory?"
Instead of answering instantly, Vicky asked in return, ’Do you know under what situation a person
would reject intimacy with their loved one when the person doesn't actually dislike having contact with
her lover?’
Cece gave it a good thought and said, ’If it's me...l won't hate him, but I'd refuse to touch him. If there
are no other reasons...then it's probably because I'm afraid to fall further and love someone I shouldn't
love."
Vicky fell silent once more.
Since Vicky's mood did not improve, Cece tried to cheer her up and thus said, "I saw a video about a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnew bar that just opened in the city last night. There's a very talented girl working there, and she's very
popular right now. What about I take you there tonight to relax?"
Vicky thought she would be alone if she went back, and that would be rather depressing. Thus, she
accepted the offer and nodded.
"Alright.” Cece took out her phone. ’I'm going to ask my friend to reserve two seats for us. The bar is
always fully booked because of her. The bar was just a middle-range bar, but because of her, it got
leveled up. I heard many men splurged a ton just to see her."
It definitely got Vicky interested in the girl.
"Is she pretty?" she asked.
Cece thought and answered, "She is, but she's not as pretty as you. I heard she won men's hearts with
her talent. She could play the piano so well that she captured many rich kids' hearts.’
Vicky was stunned. "The piano?*
Cece nodded. "Yes. There are performances in the bar at night. Among all the other performances like
hot dance and singing, Nikki's performance is unique. All she had to do was play the piano, and she
could stun everyone."
The more Cece talked about this Nikki girl, the more intrigued Vicky was with her.

It was 8 p.m. when Vicky and Cece both arrived at the bar. As Vicky entered the bar, she felt a different
ambiance.
Unlike the noisy and messy environment she expected, the bar was extremely quiet. Although there
were many people, the bar did not feel disconcerting. Everyone sat quietly in their seats, and no one
was roaming around.
"I heard the performance starts at 8:10 p.m.,’ said Cece in a hushed tone." It's about to start soon."
They went to the seats reserved for them. After looking around, Vicky discovered there were many
female guests in the bar too. Almost the same proportion as the male guests.
She asked, "Cece, how did you reserve the seats if the bar is so popular right now?"
Cece looked at her. "Roughly a year ago, we came here for a drink. A customer was giving a waitress a
hard time, but you helped her out. After that, she got promoted to manager. She specially reserved

these seats for us when she knew you wanted to come."
As Cece was talking, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, and the bar became even quieter. A few
minutes later, the lights were back on as a young girl dressed in a white dress sat elegantly in front of a
piano.
She had a pretty face and an elegant temperament. Nothing about her suggested that she performed in
a bar. On the contrary, she looked regal as though she was a goddess from heaven. 1
The spotlight was on her, and it made her face-one that was only glammed with minimal makeup-even
purer. She was totally out of tune with the ambiance in this bar. i
Soon, she started to play the piano, and the piece she played sounded alluring and comfortable like it
could purify a person's heart.
When the song finished, the bar was in a few seconds of dead silence before a round of thunderous
applause followed swiftly.
When Cece regained her senses, she began to gush. ’I don't know anything about piano, but...just by
listening to her, I feel it's so melodious. She's really good! No wonder she's so popular."
