NovelEnglishChapter 1073:
Caden continued, his tone warm but hurried, “I need a favor. Today's a special day, and I've planned a surprise
for Alicia. But the pianist | hired had a last-minute emergency and can’t make it. If you're free, could you step in
and fill in?”
Alicia often told Caden that Gemma was a remarkably talented woman. Her health had been devastated by
illness, confining her to her home, where she immersed herself in mastering various arts, including music and
painting. Her piano skills were especially extraordinary.
Gemma hesitated. “I really want to help you, but today is a holiday, and | might...”
Caden raised a brow, puzzled. “Are you dating someone?”
Just then, Pierre entered from outside.
Worried that Caden might spread rumors to Corey, Gemma quickly denied it. “No, no, | just recovered from my

Pierre mouthed silently, “Zip it up.”
Gemma nodded and allowed him to hold her as she mentally calculated her remaining free tfor the day. The
next moment, Pierre's hand slipped under her back, tracing the sensitive curve of her waist.
Gemma shivered, her thoughts scattering instantly. Meanwhile, Caden’s voice droned on over the call, giving her
the address and time.
Gemma only half-listened, blinking at Pierre in confusion. Pierre's dark gaze remained fixed on her, his eyes filled
with a quiet intensity that sent her heart racing.
