“Since I am here now, I would love to invite Ms. Johnson back to the stage for a brief duet with me. If she will give me the honor,” Oliver asks, motioning for Sophia to join him.
With a radiant smile, Sophia gladly rejoins her friend on the stage. After a few playful exchanges, they settle into a rousing version of Sergei Prokofiev’s Sonata for 2 Violins. Their synchronized performance is
breathtaking, captivating the crowd. As the final note resounds through the hall, the audience erupts into another round of enthusiastic applause, their admiration for both musicians evident.
After the applause for the spontaneous duet settles, the auctioneer for the auction takes the stage, his face shining with excitement. “Well, let’s keep that energy going for our charity auction!”

Benjamin successfully bids for a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, while Sophia wins a Pablo Picasso sculpture. However, the most sought-after auction item of the evening is Sophia’s Stradivari’s violin.
