Nicole was stunned. She thought that it might be related to her and subconsciously became tense and guarded.
However, the group of black-clad bodyguards ran past her.
'Phew... I'm not their target. Great!'
Nicole was a little tired of walking and saw a rest area in front with not many people. An expensive piano was placed in the middle, so she went over and sat down.
When her fingers touched the piano, she suddenly felt an urge to play.
She pressed on a few keys, which sounded crisp and pleasant. This piano was pretty nice.
Nicole subconsciously began to play a tune. The chords somehow transformed into "Kikujiro's Summer". It was a simple and bright tune with fresh and natural notes that reflected her current leisurely mood after shopping.
She had not been so relaxed in a long time and was even a little immersed in it.
Suddenly, someone sat down next to her, but she was too engrossed in the music to notice.
A pair of hands landed on the keys next to hers. The light and pleasant sound of the extra chords melded nicely with her tune. Nicole paused slightly and subconsciously looked to the side.
Clayton’s warm and handsome face and his bright smiling eyes appeared next to her.
His hand movements were not at all slow as he cooperated with Nicole's performance. Their piano duet did not overwhelm or clash with each other.
Instead, they had such a tacit understanding when they played the dynamic and lively tune like they had practiced this a million times together. It made people feel very comfortable, relaxed, and happy when listening to it.
Nicole chuckled. Their tacit understanding at this time was for their heartfelt love for piano and this song.
It made her feel like she was recalling her happiest times on a bright summer day.
She felt a kind of happiness that was so overwhelming, which made life feel as brilliant as sunshine.
After the song ended, the joy in Nicole’s eyes gradually faded.
Nicole felt like she had not been so happy in a long time. When she recalled the past happiness, they seemed extraordinarily distant.
It seemed like ever since she fell in love with Eric, she never had such a pleasant time again.
Eric Ferguson was really her curse.
The man next to her duly withdrew his hands. Nicole swept a glance and saw Clayton's long and slender fingers that looked so beautiful. 'No wonder he plays the piano so well! He really has a unique advantage!'
