Wendy Linden smiled gently, lowered her head, and gracefully extended her hands to begin playing the piano.

Wendy Linden stood up, smiling as she thanked everyone.
"Thank you, everyone."
"Miss Linden is truly not only beautiful, but also plays the piano wonderfully," a young gentleman praised politely.
"Thank you, sir." Wendy Linden glanced at the man with a smile, but her gaze inadvertently drifted to the corner where a stern-faced man sat.
"Thank you, Miss Linden, for the wonderful performance. Next, let's invite the lady from behind the curtain to begin."
After the host's voice echoed, the lights dimmed again, and a slightly melancholic beam shone behind the curtain.
