Before Vicky could get closer, the person seemed to have sensed her presence and turned.
The woman was not surprised at all and smiled at Vicky before greeting her with a soft voice. 'Miss
Shaw, it's Mister Hart's birthday today. Why aren't you by his side?"
Displeased by the way she was addressed, Vicky deadpanned, "Why are you here, Miss Mayland?"
Nikki was dressed in a light blue gown, and her features looked enchanting with makeup. "You must be
curious as to how I got in without an invitation, Miss Shaw." Nikki tugged her hair behind her ear and
smiled. "I'm in no position to be invited to a party like this, but I'm here...as a performer."
"A performer?"
"That's right."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn an extravagant venue, all guests looked elegant in their splendid clothing.
It was a world where Nikki did not belong.
"You've been to enough parties like this, and you should know that performers are often hired for these
occasions to play the violin or piano. So, I'm here to perform,’ she said, before shooting Vicky a half-
smile. "You wont have me thrown out of here just because you are afraid to let Mister Hart hear me
playing, would you?'
There was a hint of resentment in Nikki's smile, and it baffled Vicky as to why she would feel so
confident, when all Tyler did was listen to her performance a few times and saved her from trouble
once.
"If you're here to perform, do as you please,’ Vicky said and turned to leave.
"Vicky Shaw," Nikki gritted out. 'You're not even Mister Hart's type. Why won't you let go?”
Vicky scowled. "That's between me and him, so it's none of your business."
"He likes to listen to the piano, and you can't even play it! You're not even qualified to be a substitute
for the person he truly loves!’
Vicky wanted to ignore her, but the look in her eyes immediately darkened at Nikki's words.
"Miss Mayland, I'm my own person, and I'm no one's substitute. Also, this whole thing is just an
assumption that you made subjectively."
To Vicky, Tyler enjoyed listening to music as a hobby, just like how she enjoyed reading. What Nikki
mentioned about Tyler looking at someone else through her, might just be an illusion as women who
were in love tended to read too deep into the lines.
Amused, Nikki said, "Vicky Shaw, rumor has it that you're deeply in love with Tyler and refuse to let him
go. I think that's all false, isn't it? If you do love him, how can you not know he's in love with someone

"If you're trying to say that he dazes off from time to time when he looks at you...well, I do that when I'm
looking at others, too, but that doesn't mean I'm thinking about someone else. It just means that I'm
thinking about something."
"Looks like you don't intend on believing me."
Vicky smiled. "If he truly loves another, why didn't he divorce me? I can't play the piano and have
nothing in common with this person, so why would he care for me so much? Do you think that we're
just acting like we are getting along?"
Rendered speechless, Nikki paused for a while and said, "If you insist on being this stubborn, don't
blame me for what I'm about to do."
She then moved forward, and when she was about to walk past Vicky, Nikki stumbled backward as
though she tripped.
