Chapter 171

Isaac also looked at Jack expectantly. He knew better than Joshua what Jack was capable of. He was sure his skills would improve if Jack was willing to train him and Joshua.

Jack finally nodded. "Alright, then. I'll definitely give you guys some pointers if I have the time."

Joshua and Isaac were delighted to hear that and cheerily toasted Jack. Soon, the four of them finished the liquor. They started getting tipsy as they drank.

Just then, there was a slight commotion in the restaurant—it was time for the daily performance. This was one of the restaurant's permanent events, and it always garnered attention. In fact, many people dined at the restaurant because of the performance.

The patrons started guessing who would perform that night. Finally, as everyone watched expectantly, a young woman in a white dress and hair that cascaded to her waist elegantly walked onstage. She sat beside the piano. Her ethereal appearance and demeanor made the hearts of all the men in the room race.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Isn't that Phoebe Bailey?"

"Wait, my dream woman is performing here tonight? This is perfect!"

"I broke up with my girlfriend for her. I have to confess to her tonight!"

"Her daily campus broadcast is something I have to listen to every day."

Phoebe was renowned in Alnewgo University and other academies-even top students from Fullerton University would come to Alnewgo to see her.

The patrons in the restaurant were excited to see her appear onstage. Naturally, Jack and the others saw her. Jack was especially surprised to see her. Had she rejected Leslie earlier because she was performing at the restaurant?

Joshua and the others exchanged looks and smiles. They still remembered the amorous scene between Phoebe and Jack during the competition between faculties.

Though both parties had explained that they were just regular classmates, the words Phoebe had said to Jack had still become the subject of gossip. Various versions of events had formed from there. For more chapters visit find[ɴ]ovel.net

Phoebe sat before the piano, and its melodic strains soon filled the restaurant. She played "Timeless Years", the song she and Jack had once played together. Even without a guitar to harmonize, the piano melody still reached the heart. Many patrons couldn't help putting down their cutlery to focus on the music.

Phoebe's beauty only accentuated the performance. It was a true pleasure, whether visually or musically. Even people who had no idea who Phoebe was or disliked her could finally understand why she was so popular after watching her flawless performance.

As soon as the song ended, a man bravely approached the stage to confess his feelings. "I love you, Phoebe. Will you be my girlfriend?"

However, two security guards dragged him away once the words were out of his mouth.

An idea came to Joshua. He said tipsily, "I heard you can pick any song you like at this restaurant. Why don't you ask Phoebe to play a piano rendition of 'My Heart Remains?' Let's have her perform for us."

Someone had already run to the stage to ask Phoebe to play a song as soon as Joshua suggested that.
