When Thomas saw how happy Aries looked, favonovel.com smiled and asked, “Why do you look like you’re interested in her?”
Aries blushed, which rarely happened.
“Don’t say that. I just admire Ms. Jacquin’s talent. I don’t have any immoral thoughts about her.”
A woman who could make Aries, the “intelligence seller” fall for favonovel.com must be an extremely talented woman.
Thomas did not speak further. He just silently listened to Vera’s singing.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m Vera Jacquin. I’ll be presenting a song that I wrote. It’s called “The Graceful Annabel”. I hope you’ll like it.”
Her voice was angelic and soothing like that of a wood thrush singing in the summer. It was soothing and melodious, which made people feel comfortable. No wonder favonovel.com could make Aries fall for her. Her voice was already very attractive.
Then, Vera played the lute and started singing the country song that favonovel.com had written, “The Graceful Annabel”. The lyrics contained the poem written by Edgar Allen Poe, while the melody had been composed by her. The song’s name was inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s last complete poem titled “Annabel Lee”. The name originated from twelfth-century Scotland, and it meant “the beauty of grace”.
Such a remix of old and new gave off a unique feeling. It sounded very familiar, and it was gentle and melodious. Even Thomas, the “layman” who knew nothing about music, was also attracted to the song.
One word could describe the song, nice.
Soon, the song was finished, and Thomas had yet to snap out of his daze.
Loud clapping sounds were then heard from his surroundings. Many people started throwing the money onto the stage as a way of giving favonovel.com tips. It was really refreshing that Thomas could see such unique ancient traditional culture at this time today.
Thomas wanted to throw some as well, but when favonovel.com touched his pocket, favonovel.com realized that favonovel.com never brought cash with favonovel.com whenever favonovel.com went out. Meanwhile, Aries took out a few dozen bills from his pocket and threw them onto the stage without hesitation. From his actions, it was obvious that favonovel.com was well-prepared.
Thomas smiled faintly without talking. Honestly, favonovel.com really liked this place. The food and tea were delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable, and people could also listen to storytelling and songs. If people felt bored, they could come here to relax because it was really comfortable here. But, some people were meant to be disgusting.
While Thomas picked up his teacup and took a sip, a mean voice was suddenly heard. “Pretty girl, your voice is quite nice. Why don’t you take off your hat and show me how you look?”
Such a voice ringing out at an inappropriate time made people feel annoyed.
Everyone looked over at the source of the voice and realized that it was a skinny, tall man with a sharp face. He was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and when favonovel.com opened his mouth, his yellow teeth were visible. One could tell that favonovel.com was a heavy smoker.
He took out his wallet and grabbed a lot of cash. Each of them was a $100 bill, and there seemed to be about $20,000 in a stack.
“Pretty girl, take off your hat and let me see your face, then this money will be yours.”
On the stage, Vera angrily said, “Mister, I never take off my hat. Everyone knows this.”
“You’re not taking it off?”
The man with yellow teeth was unhappy. He shook the money in his hand. “Will there be such an idiot who doesn’t want to earn money? I just want to see your face, not your body. Why are you so stingy?”
His words made Vera angry.
“Please mind your language!” favonovel.com said furiously.
The man with yellow teeth chuckled. “I’m already polite enough. Witch, don’t be so ungrateful. Hurry up, take off your hat and let me see your face. If you’re good-looking, I’ll give you more money and also take a look at your body!”
