Chapter 401
When the performance ended, all the performers took the curtain call together.
The crowd gave them a standing ovation.
Eliana took advantage of the moment when the curtain slowly fell and ran away.
Since the performance was over, Harriet felt bored. She smiled at Maurice next to her and said, “Mr. Moran, let’s go.”
Maurice had been staring at the harpist the whole time. So when the curtain fell, he saw her run away.
She wanted to flee.
Suddenly, he stood up unconsciously and rushed in the direction where the woman left in a hurry.
“Mr. Moran!”
Harriet was shocked when she saw Maurice quickly leave. She also stood up and followed him.
Backstage, Wilson stopped Eliana, who was about to leave.
“Jennifer, you were so good. I have to say I am impressed.”
Wilson was thrilled because just now, many people approached him and talked about booking them after everyone saw Jennifer’s extraordinary performance.
He just randomly picked a harpist to make up their number. He didn’t expect her to be so good.
“You were really so good today. Your performance was much better than when we were practicing. You deliberately played the wrong notes at the beginning to surprise us, right?”
When Eliana heard Wilson’s compliments, her heartbeat went abnormally fast. She unconsciously blurted out what was in her mind.
“Was I… really that good?”
Her voice was clear and sweet, totally different from Jennifer’s.
Wilson immediately noticed the difference. “Jennifer, your voice…”
Damn! She was too careless.
Eliana immediately lowered her voice, covered her mouth, and coughed. “Ahem! I’m sorry, sir. I have caught a cold recently, so my voice is a little hoarse.”
“Oh, you’ve caught a cold? Go home and get some rest then,” Wilson said with concern, obviously believing in her lie.
He thought that she was their money-spinner now, and he couldn’t let anything happen to her.
“Okay, sir. Thank you.”
After talking to Wilson and some musicians who tried to compliment her performance, Eliana immediately ran back to the dressing room with her head down to change her clothes.
At this moment, a low and familiar male voice came from outside.
“Mr. Green, may I ask who that harpist was?”
It was Maurice’s voice.
Eliana was so shocked that the dress in her hands almost fell to the floor.
Outside the door, Wilson looked at Maurice flatteringly. “Mr. Moran, that was Jennifer Lawson.”
“Jennifer Lawson? Who is she?” Maurice asked with a frown.
He didn’t know anyone named Jennifer. But just now, he really felt that the woman who played the harp was very familiar.
“She is a little-known harpist. If you like her, I can ask her to play for you alone.”
Wilson smiled meaningfully.
Harriet, who followed Maurice, heard what Wilson said. She got furious at once.
There was already Eliana, and now, another woman joined the picture.
She was already on the verge of losing control because of today’s successive blows. And when she heard Wilson’s words, she couldn’t keep her calm any longer.
“All of you, get out of here!” Harriet roared at the orchestra members.
The entire backstage fell into silence when her voice echoed.
“Do you want me to say it again? I have something to talk to Mr. Moran alone. Leave the room!”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. But no one dared to offend the daughter of the Stone Group, so they all walked out of the room.
Only Harriet and Maurice were left now. As well as Eliana.
Eliana had already changed her clothes. But Maurice and Harriet were at the door, blocking the way, so she couldn’t leave.
She couldn’t help praying silently that they wouldn’t know she was here.
