It was Irene's turn next.
She took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the screen with determination before she started to sing.
As soon as her voice filled the room, everyone fell silent.
Her high notes were mesmerizing, and it touched the hearts of everyone present.
Abigail was surprised by how beautifully she sang. Her voice was like magic, sending chills down his spine. And as she switched to the softer parts of the song, her voice took on a gentle, otherworldly quality.
The song's lyrics were exceptional which added to the enchantment of her performance.
Irene effortlessly shifted between different tones. Thus, showcasing her versatility.
Irene is truly wasting her talent as a designer. Her true gift is clearly in her singing! thought Abigail.
Even Sean, who had never paid much attention to Irene before, now recognized her brilliance.
Kevin was entranced and silently captivated by her performance. A newfound emotion filled his heart as if he were floating on air, filled with joy and longing.
After the song came to an end, Shaunee suddenly clapped her hands. "Holy crap! With talent like yours, why do you want to be a designer?"
"Seriously, you're amazing! Was your Aktani super good when you were in school?" Eilane asked. She had the highest education level among them, and Aktani was her best subject. She now did translation work at home.
As a graduate student, Isla also had a strong command of Aktani and could tell that Irene's Aktani skills were solid.
"I fell in love with Aktani songs the first time I heard them in a mall, so Aktani became my best subject," Irene said. She always got top marks in Aktani from the moment she started learning it.
"Wow, that's impressive! Can you sing the song you just sang again? I really want to hear it!" Shaunee pleaded.
Irene felt a bit embarrassed. "Let's take a break. Everyone can take turns singing."
"Okay!" Shaunee agreed, not wanting to pressure her.
Just then, Kevin walked over. "How about we play a singing game?"
"How does it work?" Abigail asked with interest.
Since Irene was such a great singer, it would be nice for her to sing a few more songs to boost her confidence.
"We'll use a spinner. Even numbers team up for duets, and odd numbers sing solo. There's no prize, just pure fun!" he suggested. He also hoped Irene would sing a couple more songs as she was enchanting when she sang.
"Okay, I'm cool with that." Abigail nodded.
Isla's eyes widened in dismay. "Oh no, I'm absolutely dreadful at singing!"
"Well, go find your husband then," he teased, not allowing her any room to protest.
With that, everyone shuffled around to find their seats.
Once everyone was settled, Kevin grabbed the spinner.
Abigail sat beside Sean, whom she was supporting for his trial the next day. Tonight was a chance for them both to unwind and forget their troubles.
