Chapter 266 He Didn’t Come

Miley had been waiting backstage for Marion for almost 20 minutes. They had agreed that Marion

would be back in 10 minutes, but as the time ticked down to just four songs before her performance,

Miley rushed out to find her.

To her surprise, she spotted Marion chatting with Alice a few steps into the corridor.

“Why are you two standing here?” Miley asked.

Seeing Miley, Marion sighed in relief. “Is it time for me to get changed?”

As she spoke, she winked at Miley.

It was the first time Miley received that secret signal from Marion, and she took a moment to respond.

However, having worked together for many years, Miley snapped back to reality after a brief pause.

“Oh, yes. The director has told you to get changed and stand by!”

Alice, hearing that, did not want to hold up Marion any longer. “In that case, go! I’ll head back to the

audience and wait for you to go on stage!”

Marion nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay. Be careful on your way out!”

Alice waved her sign and happily returned to her seat in the audience.

As soon as Alice was out of sight, Miley asked, “What’s going on?”

Marion rolled her eyes. “Don’t even mention it. She insisted on gifting me a dress!

“Just accept it. How much can a dress cost?”

“She wants to gift me the ‘Starry Night‘ dress I’m wearing tonight.”

“A dress worth 280 thousand dollars?”

Marion huffed. “That’s nothing compared to the piano she bought me in the middle of the night for 400

thousand dollars.”

Miley was baffled. “Did you save her life or something?”

“Oh, I forgot. I did save her life!”

Miley could not help but glance in the direction Alice left. “These rich people really do have unique

ways of repaying favors.”

“It’s just too straightforward. I can’t handle it.”

Earlier, after Alice bought her a dress worth over 10 thousand, she insisted Marion pick a handbag.

However, Marion did not dare to pick one when she saw the price of the bag.

She had to change the subject, but Alice suddenly asked, “By the way, is the dress you’re wearing

today from Mystara House’s haute couture collection? Did Kirk borrow it from them? It looks so good

on you. Let me buy it for you.”

Marion was dumbfounded.

Every time they met, Alice seemed to be implying she was filthy rich and that her money was up for

grabs, which Marion found a bit hard to stomach.

After some thought, Miley felt the same. “They say gifts blind the eyes. It’s best you restrain yourself.”

To be honest, Marion was not that good at restraining herself.

After all, who could resist beautiful dresses and gorgeous handbags?

However, putting those thoughts aside, Marion quickly got changed in the dressing room.

The makeup artist touched up her makeup, making her look sexy and cute.

With time for two more songs, Marion was already waiting in the wings.

Subconsciously, she glanced toward the audience. All 200 seats were still occupied, but she could not

find that familiar face next to Alice and Cassie.

He did not come.

Her rational mind told her it was normal, but emotionally, she found herself sad and disappointed.

However, her gloomy mood was quickly interrupted by the stage director.

It was almost her turn to go on stage, and she had a surprise prepared for Kirk, a gift secretly arranged

by some of his fans.

It was meant to be a surprise for Kirk, something Marion herself only found out during the afternoon

rehearsal.

Fortunately, she had memorized the steps to the piano during the rehearsal. Now, with that impromptu

task at hand, she remained calm and composed.

The director informed her that the gift was under her piano, and she was to pretend that the piano had

a problem. Once Kirk came over, she would pick up the gift and present it to him.

Everything went smoothly, except she did not expect the “surprise” to be a “

bouquet“. Marion also saw the “instructions” for the gift on her piano.

As Kirk approached, she quickly glanced through the instructions. When he was near, she lifted the

“bouquet” beside her and exclaimed, “Surprise!”
