Chapter 279

Mila’s face had darkened with shame. The confident look on her face was shattered

She couldn’t keep up with Vivienne?!

How could that be possible?

Meanwhile, down in the audience, the people who had been engrossed in Vivienne’s performance all simultaneously furrowed their brows.

They looked at Mila with very annoyed, even sort of disgusted, expressions

“What the heck is Mila playing?! Couldn’t she even get the first note right?”

Mila felt even more shame now.
