Chapter 553


    However, Sylvia was a frequent listener of Thomas’s piano-ying, and he had also yed this song for her before. Be it the


    ying or the tune, Thomas felt a lot more naturalpared to Lily, so Sylvia lost interest after a while. She picked up her te


    of snacks and continued munching.


    It was then that a tall figure appeared on her left.


    Startled, Sylvia looked up at the figure, and before she could show any proper reaction, the figure sat down beside her.


    The entire hall was dark, and the only spotlight was on Lily and her piano, so it took Sylvia quite a while to recognize the person


    beside her.


    “Thomas?” she asked in a small voice.


    “The one and only,” he said. Sylvia was baffled by his arrival. “What brings you here?”


    “Lily and | were ssmates. She invited me here,” he said.


    Sylvia nodded in realization.


    There were no more questions from her, and Thomas also quietly enjoyed the recital. He did not speak a word after he exined


    his arrival. After Lily finished ying the song, the crowd apuded. Lily stood up and elegantly bowed at the apuding crowd


    while being highlighted by the spotlight. Then, Master Springsteen’s voice sounded from the dark. He delightfully said, “The ball


    is starting soon, but before that, is there any young gentleman who would like to have a dance with my granddaughter?


    “It might sound surprising, but my granddaughter has never gotten a boyfriend, and | wish that she will find her Mr. Right soon.


    So, would any young man like to give her a chance?”


    “Grandfather?” Lily shyly shot a nce at her grandfather. Many young men among the crowd started murmuring and voicing


    their excitement. “It’s my pleasure to be able to have a dance with Ms. Springstreen!” “Ms. Springteen’s recital was melodious


    and | admire her talent!”


    The young men among the crowd grew excited as every one of them wanted a chance to have a dance with Lily.


    Lily stood quietly but a hint of disdain shed deep in her eyes. She looked down on all the caper young menbined. She


    then had a nce at the butler behind her.


    The butlet rated the inicrophone and said, “Thank you for your admiration of our Ms. Lily. veryone Lach and every young


    gentleman is outstanding in your own way, and it is difficult


    to pick just one for the dance. “Here, | would like to suggest a little game: the spotlight will randomly move around, and when Ms.


    Lily says stop, the spotlight will pick the lucky gentleman for the dance.”


    “Great!”


    “Yeah, | can go with that!”


    The young men agreed to the little game. Someone then said, “This little game is fun and fair to all the young men here. It also


    won''t put Ms. Springsteen in an awkward position.”This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    The butler then asked Lily, “What do you think about the game, Ms. Lily?” Lily smiled politely and said, “I think it''s a good idea.


    Thank you, Arthur.” “You''re too kind, mydy.” The butler then turned to the crowd and said, “Without further ado, the game will


    begin in the count of three.” The hall went quiet before the countdown.


    Almost every young man looked at Lily in anticipation. The other guests were also interested in finding out who would be the


    lucky guy chosen to have the dance with Lily. Sylvia was sitting in the corner. It was the first time she had heard of the game, and


    it captured her attention. She tapped Thomas’s shoulder and asked in a small voice, “Thomas, what do you think about Lily?”


    She suddenly realized that Thomas was not a youngster anymore and that he was already at a suitable age to date. Thomas


    replied coldly, “I am not interested in her.”
