However, Sylvia was a frequent listener of Thomas’s piano-playing, and he had also played this song
for her before. Be it the playing or the tune, Thomas felt a lot more natural compared to Lily, so Sylvia
lost interest after a while. She picked up her plate of snacks and continued munching.
It was then that a tall figure appeared on her left.
Startled, Sylvia looked up at the figure, and before she could show any proper reaction, the figure sat
down beside her.
The entire hall was dark, and the only spotlight was on Lily and her piano, so it took Sylvia quite a while
to recognize the person beside her.
“Thomas?” she asked in a small voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“The one and only,” he said. Sylvia was baffled by his arrival. “What brings you here?”
“Lily and I were classmates. She invited me here,” he said.
Sylvia nodded in realization.
There were no more questions from her, and Thomas also quietly enjoyed the recital. He did not speak
a word after he explained his arrival. After Lily finished playing the song, the crowd applauded. Lily
stood up and elegantly bowed at the applauding crowd while being highlighted by the spotlight. Then,
Master Springsteen’s voice sounded from the dark. He delightfully said, “The ball is starting soon, but
before that, is there any young gentleman who would like to have a dance with my granddaughter?
“It might sound surprising, but my granddaughter has never gotten a boyfriend, and I wish that she will
find her Mr. Right soon. So, would any young man like to give her a chance?”
“Grandfather?” Lily shyly shot a glance at her grandfather. Many young men among the crowd started
murmuring and voicing their excitement. “It’s my pleasure to be able to have a dance with Ms.
Springstreen!” “Ms. Springteen’s recital was melodious and I admire her talent!”
The young men among the crowd grew excited as every one of them wanted a chance to have a dance
with Lily.
Lily stood quietly but a hint of disdain flashed deep in her eyes. She looked down on all the caper
young men combined. She then had a glance at the butler behind her.
The butlet rated the inicrophone and said, “Thank you for your admiration of our Ms. Lily. veryone Lach
and every young gentleman is outstanding in your own way, and it is difficult
to pick just one for the dance. “Here, I would like to suggest a little game: the spotlight will randomly
move around, and when Ms. Lily says stop, the spotlight will pick the lucky gentleman for the dance.”
“Great!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, I can go with that!”
The young men agreed to the little game. Someone then said, “This little game is fun and fair to all the
young men here. It also won’t put Ms. Springsteen in an awkward position.”
The butler then asked Lily, “What do you think about the game, Ms. Lily?” Lily smiled politely and said,
“I think it’s a good idea. Thank you, Arthur.” “You’re too kind, my lady.” The butler then turned to the
crowd and said, “Without further ado, the game will begin in the count of three.” The hall went quiet
before the countdown.
Almost every young man looked at Lily in anticipation. The other guests were also interested in finding
out who would be the lucky guy chosen to have the dance with Lily. Sylvia was sitting in the corner. It
was the first time she had heard of the game, and it captured her attention. She tapped Thomas’s
shoulder and asked in a small voice, “Thomas, what do you think about Lily?”
She suddenly realized that Thomas was not a youngster anymore and that he was already at a suitable
age to date. Thomas replied coldly, “I am not interested in her.”
