Richie sent Lucinda the updated sheet music with a message. [Don’t waste Melody Mastro’s effort. Find somewhere private and really practice.]
Any piece revised by Melody Mastro was basically legendary. Since this was the competition piece, it was best to keep it under wraps. No need to invite trouble before the big day. With the piano competition happening tomorrow, there were probably contestants all over France, tucked into every hotel.
Lucinda stared at the score and Richie’s message, so excited she could barely sit still. Oh my god, Melody Mastro actually helped her revise the piece! Tomorrow’s championship was as good as hers.
Lydia, just wait. Lucinda was determined to show her what a real international champion looked like.
While Lydia was working on the music, Connor had been quietly watching from the side, completely stunned. After the shock wore off, he just felt numb. He started to wonder if there was any field where Lydia didn’t have some secret identity tucked away. She was just way too good at hiding her talents.
As soon as Lucinda got the revised score, she stood up from the piano. This place wasn’t right for her practice anymore. These people didn’t deserve to hear her masterpiece.
The moment she got up to leave, a few young men rushed over, all eager to talk, showering her with compliments about her looks, her vibe, her piano skills. The attention made her even more proud. She turned down every single one of them, barely concealing her disdain. How could any of these guys think they were worthy of her? Honestly, they didn’t even deserve to be her fans.
“Lucinda!”
As she and Grace walked out of the restaurant, a voice called from behind, one she recognized instantly. Lucinda frowned.
“Lucinda! Wait up.”
Grace glanced back and smiled. “Mr. Hansen, what brings you here?”
