Chapter 25 She’s Different
Although they were from different circles,
the high society of Atlanta was small, so
everyone would more or less cross paths
with each other. Thus, Keith Ludwig and
Ian Carter knew each other.
When Ian saw Keith, he naturally saw Eric
Ferguson as well.
Ian tipped his glass as
a gesture. “What a coincidence, Mr.
Ludwig.”
Keith saw that Nicole and Yvette were
sitting with Ian, so he figured that they
were here together. Keith turned and
pulled Eric to sit at their table. “Let’s play
a game together. You won’t mind, right, Mr. Caner?”
Ian did not answer and turned to look at
Nicole. “My queen, do you mind?“
Nicole stood up insouciantly. “Help
yourselves, l’m going downstairs to
watch the band.”
Yvette immediately followed suit. “Let’s g
o! It’s so suffocating sharing the same
space with such pests.”
Julie took three bottles of fine wine and
said, “l’m coming too!”
Eric watched as Nicole disappeared
down the stairs before he withdrew his
gaze and glanced at Ian. “Mr. Carter,
what’s your relationship with Nicole?”
lan tilted his head and chuckled. “A
friend.”
“How can her kind be friends with you? Mr. Carter, don’t be fooled by her…” Before
Keith could finish his sentence, he was
interrupted by Eric. show, but they came to this bar?”
There were three people in this band, but
only two showed up. However, these two
were already enough to incite the crowd’s
excitement and passion as they
controlled the energy of the venue.
Yvette was screaming and shouting at
the bottom of the stage and did not
notice that Julie had already brought
Nicole backstage.
“There are three minutes until this song is
over. Demon just had an appendectomy. so he couldn’t make it. Without the violin,
the song will lose its soul. The last song
needs a violin accompaniment to the
bassist. There’s no one else but you now.
so go!”
Nicole was shocked. “Me?!”
“You’re the only one who has played with them before, so of course, it’s you. Do
you really want them to be a failure?
They’re here because of you. Plus, don’t
you want to get back your old feeling?”
The music was deafening. Those familiar
memories made Nicole feel exhilarated.
She smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll go on.”
Everyone cheered loudly for the band.
Their bodies swayed to the rhythm, and
everyone was exuberant.
No one noticed that Nicole carried a violin
in her left hand while she held her flowing
dress with her other hand as she stepped
onto the stage.
The lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only
a beam of light on the stage.
Monster and Phantom, who were part of
the band, lit up when they saw Nicole.
The bassist, Phantom, started the rhythm. The best part about this piece
lied in the bassist and violinist duet,
which was an absolutely divine pairing.
If they were not equal, the song would lose
its soul.
Phantom passionately took over the
melody. just enough to invigorate the
crowd.
In the next second, a delicate, mellow
sound of the violin seamlessly integrated
into the bass. When the drums stopped
abruptly, the violin suddenly sounded
bold, rich, and deep.
Everyone was
astonished to see the woman on stage
looking so cool and valiant. The violin in
her hands sounded so magical and in
tune, which matched her very distinctive
style.
Everyone was so immersed in the music
when the drums suddenly joined in again.
There was a tacit understanding between
the drummer and violinist as they
synchronized their rhythm. The stark
contrast between the intensity of the
drums and the softness of the violin
formed a beautiful medley.
After the short two-minute performance, the
crowd’s screams were even more
thunderous and deafening than before.
“Ah!! My Goddess!”
“Violin goddess!”
On the second floor, the shock that
flashed through Eric Ferguson’s eyes was
undisguised.
