The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 506

Antoney glanced at his watch. "Only ten minutes left. It's almost my turn."

He turned to Abby. "Let's push the ensemble and Star's solo further down the program."

Abby considered for a moment, then nodded-there wasn't much else they could do.

Thankfully, everyone involved today was part of their group, so they could adjust the performance order however they liked.

It wouldn't be a big deal if Stella went on stage a little later.

Candida spoke up. "What if Star doesn't come back at all? What then?"

Antoney fell silent for a few seconds, his voice low when he finally replied, "Then the rest of us will perform."

He looked over at Marvin, who had been waiting quietly for instructions. "Marvin, if Star can't make it, you'll need to play a couple more pieces. Can you handle that?"

Marvin nodded gently. "I can."

He'd been practicing violin with Stella lately, and had learned plenty of pieces.

Playing a few extra songs wouldn't be a problem at all.

Antoney then turned to Candida. "If Star really can't make it back, you'll need to fill in with extra piano pieces too."

Candida nodded. "Alright."
