Out Of The Shadows Tilda’s Brilliant Second Life novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Stepping Stone

Tilda and her squad sat down.

Finished

She opened the menu, and for the first time tonight, her usually calm eyes lit with a spark of

interest.

At first, when she heard this was a branch of Sky Dining, she thought the menu would be the same. She figured the only difference would be the new atmosphere.

But she hadn’t expected this.

Here, the focus was on Thalorian cuisine and Yvorian cuisine.

The original Sky Dining featured Yvorian cuisine and Flonchean cuisine.

The first was all about spice.

The second was all about unique flavors.

Theo explained, “To balance the two restaurants, my dad and Alfie decided the second branch would carry the Sky Dining name, but with a different focus. Of course, we still serve Yvorian cuisine here. But now guests can also experience Thalorian cuisine alongside it.”

“That’s a great idea,” Tilda said.

Theo had arranged things perfectly.

Just then, a young woman in a red evening gown walked toward them. She had a refined beauty, and an artistic air hung about her.

“Mr. Dowdall, is it time?” she asked softly.

That voice… why did it sound so familiar?

Tilda’s gaze sharpened. She couldn’t shake the feeling she had seen this woman before.

I’ve definitely seen that face somewhere before!

But where?

For a moment, Tilda just couldn’t remember.

“Mr. Theo,” Kendric said, “this is our pianist for the soft opening–Ms. Genevieve Lichtenstein. She just won an international award. She’s in high demand, and if it weren’t for her past work with Woodward Group, we wouldn’t have been able to invite such a young, talented pianist.”

Jarrett slapped his forehead. “Genevieve? I’ve heard that name! Where was it … ?”

Astrid gave him a look. “Did you forget? The piano concert we went to last time was Ms. Lichtenstein’s.”

“Oh, right! That was her! Your playing was amazing!”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Genevieve said politely with a graceful smile.

Then her eyes shifted. She felt a sharp gaze fixed on her.

Looking up, she met Tilda’s stare.

“Miss, have we met before? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Tilda smiled lightly. “No reason. You’re just very beautiful, so I looked a little longer.”

But the truth was, the moment she heard the name Genevieve, memories from her had come rushing back.

past

Wasn’t this Justin’s girlfriend from back then?

Is Justin already with Genevieve at this point in time?

Tilda pushed the thought aside. Not my problem.

That worried her. If Justin or the Jensons misunderstood, her plans could fall apart. So Genevieve just gave a polite smile. “Thank you for the kind words. Mr. Dowdall, I’ll head backstage to prepare.”

“Thank you, Ms. Lichtenstein. Tonight’s performance is in your hands,” Theo said warmly.

“Leave it to me,” Genevieve replied.

She left, but Theo had noticed something strange.

He leaned close and whispered, “Queen, do you know that woman? I’ve never seen you stare at someone like that before.”

“I just remembered something amusing,” Tilda said. “Don’t worry about it.”

The lights in the restaurant dimmed.

A violinist began to play, the sound smooth and elegant.

When that piece ended, it would be time for Genevieve’s solo performance.

Backstage, Genevieve sat at a mirror. She applied a fresh coat of lipstick and pressed her lips together.

She had sacrificed a lot for this chance.

Everyone who had an invitation to Starlight Dining was wealthy, influential, or both.

If she played well tonight, she would leave a deep impression.

And that could become the stepping stone to her career.
