Chapter 156
“The sales price will be discussed in the meeting the day after tomorrow. Will you be able to attend it?” Harrell asked. However, Isaac was not listening to him. The woman on the stage held him spellbound.
Isaac, unlike Harrell, had a good ear for music. He immediately recognized the piece Camila was playing as a famous one. It was Pachelbel’s Variations on the Canon.
The melody of the song seemed enchanted. It was as if it were telling its listeners that anything was possible so long as they believed in themselves and their goals.
This was Isaac’s first exposure to Camila’s greatness.

He might not have believed her if she claimed to have such refined musical talent if he had not heard her play himself.
When the song ended, applause from the crowd quickly followed. In truth, however, only a few people really appreciated the performance.
After all, the piano was an instrument that was too sophisticated for the masses.
One particular man in eyeglasses was enthusiastically clapping his hands.
It was clear that he enjoyed the performance very much
He even turned to Harrell to ask, “Does this female pianist work at your wife’s studio?”
Harrell replied, “She used to work at the studio, but not anymore. She’s only here to help.”
The man with the spectacles then inquired, “Does she have a boyfriend?” Isaac immediately turned to him. The guy adjusted his glasses. Based on his expression, he was obviously interested in Camila.
In an instant, Isaac scowled.

Harrell looked at him in surprise.
“Really, Mr. Johnston? But my wife said she doesn’t even have a boyfriend. How can she get married if she doesn’t have a lover?”
“She's really pretty, and she plays the piano so well,” the spectacled man remarked, clearly taken with her. After saying that, he got up and walked to the backstage area, presumably to get Camila’s number.
As aman himself, Isaac could identify the signs of a man’s attraction to a woman.
With a grimace, he stood up and declared, “I'm leaving. | have something else to do.”
“But this is only the opening act,” Harrell protested. However, after seeing Isaac’s icy expression, he decided to forego further attempts to convince him to stay and simply replied, “I'll see you off.”
