Chapter 987
“How did you choke on tea?” she complained.
“Mom, I‘m going to the washroom,” Angela said before standing up and leaving the dining table. She walked very
quickly, leaving the private room as if she were fleeing from it. She had no intention of going to the washroom; she
just wanted to go outside for a breath of fresh air.
just then, she was drawn to the sound of the piano in the hall. Involuntarily, she came all the way into the hall from
the private room, only to see someone performing a piano piece at the scene. After standing there for a while, she
noticed that the young lady on stage seemed to be leaving, upon which an idea came to her mind. I have nothing to
do, anyway. She went over and asked the manager if she could play the piano.
The manager quickly nodded and replied with a smile, “Yes, of course. Feel free to play it, miss.”
Angela walked up to the piano and sat down. With her slender fingers, she seemed to be born to play the piano. A

in amazemen When they saw a different lady sitting at the piano, they were attracted to her good looks. She was
dressed in white while wearing her hair down. What captivated them the most was her delicate features. She
looked graceful and refreshing, like the warm sunshine in this freezing winter.
Getting carried away for a moment, she closed her eyes slightly. However, her fingers danced fluidly across the
keyboard, bringing the most melodious music to people‘s ears.
A middle–aged female diner got so entranced by the music that she couldn‘t help but praise, “Her skills are close to
that of a grandmaster, right?”
“Uh–huh. I wonder which family she‘s from. Not only is she beautiful, but she‘s so skilled at playing the piano.”
A man was striding into the hall through the entrance with sturdy and slender legs. Dressed in a black trench coat,
he projected a commanding presence. He walked in long strides, as if he were coming for dinner in a hurry.
However, as soon as he entered the restaurant, he was drawn to the sound of the piano playing smoothly. When he
looked up in the piano‘s direction, his dark and deep pupils shrank; he couldn‘t believe that the young lady playing
the piano on stage was none other than Angela.
At this moment, Angela was closing her eyes while lowering them slightly. Her face, which was even more gorgeous
than flowers, looked pure and pretty under the
spotlight like that of an otherworldly spirit.
The man standing in the hall probably never thought he would meet the person he wanted to see the most in the
restaurant. Richard couldn‘t move an inch. In an instant, his eyes betrayed a hint oftenderness; even his lips curled
into a smile. He stared at the lady on stage just like that, whereas she lost herself in the music without realizing that
there was an important figure among her audience.
Noticing that Angela‘s piano piece seemed to be coming to a stop, Richard finally came to his senses. He quickly
stepped behind a pillar that happened to conceal his figure. The diner at the table next to the pillar looked at him in
bewilderment, but his gaze was directed toward the piano.

red wine. He said to her, “Miss, a customer has ordered a glass of red wine for you.”
Angela looked in the direction the waiter was pointing and saw two men standing in front of the French window. The
younger one among them, who was a graceful looking man, raised his glass at her as though he admired her very
much.
Angela gave the man a nod out of courtesy, but she put the glass of red wine aside without drinking from it. When
she stood up, the man stood up as well. While she was walking toward the private room, the man came to her side,
saying, “Miss, you played the piano very well. I wonder if I have the honor of getting to know you. Let‘s be friends.”
The man looked at her fervently as if he was desperate to get to know her.
Not wanting to draw the attention of anyone, Angela replied thankfully, “Thanks for the compliment.” With that, she
decided to leave.
However, the man really wanted to get to know her, so he stretched out his hand and stopped her. “Miss, I really
wish to get to know you. I‘m not some bad guy; I just want to be friends with you.”
Angela was stunned. Facing such a passionate man, she found herself caught in an awkward situation. Suddenly, an
icy male voice sounded behind her, saying, “She already has a boyfriend.”
