Chapter 42 She Was That Confident
When Simone noticed everyone’s shocked expressions, she awkwardly asked, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Zac approached her and inquired, “Can you play all these instruments?”
She nodded. “Yes, I have learned to play them all.”
Before crossing over to the other universes, Simone used to take fiddle classes. As a result, she was quite familiar with the several instruments before her and knew how to play them.
Zac’s eyes sparkled as he looked at her. “You’re amazing, Simone.”
Simone smiled. “Thank you for the compliment!”
Meanwhile, the elder was shocked but grinned as he beckoned–Simone over: “Come here, young lady. I’ll give you a score. Try playing these instruments.”
Simone nodded. “Sure!”
The elder took out several music scores from the cabinet and opened one, pointing to a page. “Use the fiddle to play this piece.”
Simone carefully examined the score, then took the fiddle from the elder and began playing. Soon, a lively and cheerful fiddle piece filled the air.
The elder smiled in satisfaction. “You’re quite skilled at playing the fiddle.”
Next, the elder asked Simone to try the drums, dulcimer, and trumpet.
Simone remained confident and calm as she played each of the scores given to her by the elder. Once she finished, the elder’s smile grew even wider. “Very good. I’m confident that you can handle playing the soundtracks. There’s no need to look for anyone else.”
Smiling, Simone murmured, “Sure. I’ll take care of the soundtracks.”
Jonah smiled slightly. “Miss Gray, you’ve made things very easy for our crew.”
Meanwhile, Keira and Eric couldn’t help but admire Simone. Although they didn’t know how to play these instruments, they could hear how well she had played the pieces.
Keira asked, “Simone, do you play any other instruments besides these?”
“I know a few others,” Simone replied. Keira then asked, “For example? Can you list a few?”
Simone answered, “I can play the harp, banjo, flute, clarinet, ocarina, piano, cello, guitar, saxophone,
and bass.”
Everyone on set fell silent as they suddenly had the urge to ask what she couldn’t play. It was simply amazing.

Zac’s eyes filled with smiles. “You know how to play the guitar too? Why don’t we play a duet when we get back?
Simone nodded. “Sure!”
Then, Keira pointed at the banjo on the cabinet. “Simone, I would like to hear you play the banjo. Can you perform a piece for us?”
Simone also liked the banjo and had spent a long time practicing it when she was in a retro universe. “No problem!”
She asked the elder if she could use the banjo. Not only did the elder not refuse her request, but he even personally handed it to her. “I would like to hear you play the banjo too.”
The young lady grew on him the more they interacted.
‘How could Simone know how to play so many instruments? She must be bluffing.
‘I think the show must be scripted. Simone is only acting according to the script, otherwise, how could she know so many instruments?”
‘She must have practiced the pieces she played with those instruments in private.
“This show is too fake. This scene is obviously staged for us to watch.
‘Yet the crew dares to claim they’re realistic. I’m going to report on this show.”
‘Don’t you think the crew is too biased toward Simone? Why does she get all the attention?”
‘I heard Simone previously saved the director’s wife, which is how she got on this show.”
‘I’m speechless. The director is hyping Simone and even planned a scripted scene for her. Does he take us audiences for fools?‘
Although Simone’s fans tried to counter, they were no match for the paid trolls and fans of the other three celebrities, so their comments were soon drowned out.
Upon seeing the sudden influx of comments, Jonah knew that someone had hired paid trolls to frame Simone and the crew. He frowned, knowing that the situation would worsen if this continued. He would admit it if this show was scripted, but it wasn’t, so he couldn’t let someone else frame him for it.
Currently, Simone held the banjo and asked, “Which song would you like me to play?”
Those words puzzled the crowd because they rarely had the chance to listen to a banjo piece, so they didn’t know what to choose.
