This Is My Businesss
"Good evening, everyone. The performance of the Celestial Sounds Symphony is about to begin. Let's all wele the concertmaster, Elyse Lloyd."
'As soon as her name was announced by the host, Elyse glided gracefully onto the stage ina stunning fishtail dress, her violin in hand. Pausing at center stage, the spotlight focused on her, casting a glow on her radiant smile.
"Elyse Lloyd? Who's that? Isn't Vicky Aston supposed to be the concertmaster? I came here just to see her!"W wa.
"Vicky was replaced by some girl named Elyse? But why?"
"came all the way here tonight to see my idol, Vicky. I don't want to see some unknown violinist. Tell her to get out! Bring Vicky onstage!"
Being the youngest violinist, Vicky had garnered a substantial fan base. Many of these fans were eagerly anticipating her performances on this tour.
Hearing the audience growing increasingly restless, Peyton gulped anxiously. "Hey, what should we do? At this rate, your wife's going to be kicked off-stage!"
Jayden didn't answer. Chin resting on his palm, he was too focused on the woman standing in the middle of the stage.
The fishtail dress accentuated Elyse's beautiful figure, its hem adorned with shimmering crystals that twinkled under the lights.
Elyse, accustomed to styling her hair in a high ponytail, opted for a low ponytail tonight, with wisps
of baby hairs delicately framing her youthful face. This subtle change, along with her ensemble,
added a touch of maturity and elegance to her appearance.
Jayden stared at Elyse, wondering how his wife would react when faced with such harsh criticism.
Would she consider asking him for help?
However, Elyse didn't even address the crowd. With a graceful wave of her hand, her bow
connected with the violin strings, and harmonious music poured out.
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down upon hearing the beautiful tune.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Staring at Elyse onstage, Jayden fell into a trance, as though her music had put him under some
sort of spell.
Her every move was full of grace and elegance like that of a fairy.
An hour later, there was a fifteen-minute intermission.
Clive turned to Jayden and said in awe, Your wife played the violin for over an hour. She's
got so much energy!"
Jayden was about to respond when a familiar figure in the audience caught his eye; it was Cody, sitting nearby.
But before Jayden could call out Cody's name, he saw that Richie,
whom he hadn't seen in a long time, was sitting next to Cody. From the way they talked, they seemed to be well acquainted with each other.
Jayden's eyebrows shot up in surprise. How did these two know each other?
Backstage, Elyse took the bottle of water from the manager and thirstily gulped it down.
The manager nodded in satisfaction, her eyes twinkling with < appreciation as she gazed at Elyse.
"You did exceptionally well, Elyse."

Elyse smiled at her graciously, but her flushed cheeks betrayed just how honored she felt.
"There's still the second half. You can do this." The manager gave Elyse a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder.
Elyse nodded and waved goodbye as the manager left.
The moment the manager disappeared from view, Elyse cupped her burning cheeks and muttered to herself excitedly, "I did it!"
The intermission soon ended, signaling the start of the second half of the concert.
Upon her return to the stage, Elyse immersed herself in the music, her focus laser-sharp.
As she played the final note, the entire audience erupted into a warm round of applause.
Still lost in the music, Elyse was startled by the sudden noise. In a daze, she noticed the
conductor gesturing at her and quickly snapped back to reality. 7
With a charming smile, Elyse took a few steps forward and gracefully bowed to the audience. She upheld the honor of the Celestial Sounds Symphony today.
After the curtains dropped, the audience began to disperse.
As Elyse returned to the lounge, she noticed that all eyes were on her, followed by a burst of thunderous applause.
"You did a wonderful job as the concertmaster, Elyse! Congratulations!" The manager generously praised Elyse on her performance.
Moved by the touching atmosphere, Elyse wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said modestly, "It's all thanks to the whole orchestra. We did this together."

feelings.
The whole team was supposed to celebrate the success of the first show over a lavish meal, but due to the temporary change in concertmasters, the manager and other staff members had to attend a meeting to plan and regroup.
They decided to postpone the celebration and they could go home to rest.
Elyse hastily got dressed and excitedly ran out to look for Jayden.
When she arrived at the entrance of the concert hall, she spotted him amidst the crowd, her eyes
lighting up happily. But before she could reunite with her husband, a man suddenly blocked her way.
Confused, Elyse raised her head and queried, "Er, do I know you?"
The man just smiled at her and held out a bouquet of flowers to her. "Hi, I just watched your performance. You were stunning."
Seeing that Elyse didn't make a move to take the flowers, he took a step forward and said, "These are for you."
Standing frozen in place, Elyse stared at the flowers helplessly, feeling at a loss.
Fortunately, she didn't have to say anything, "She doesn't need your flowers," a deep voice sounded.
The man turned to glare at the person who had interrupted him. "Mind your own business, pal." "This is my business," Jayden said icily, pulling Elyse to his side. "She's my wife."
