dessert and music

Christine didn't return to the room until night fell.

Hilda was holding a book, reading it with great interest.Hearing a heavy closing sound suddenly, he subconsciously looked up at Christine who was standing in front of the door.

She was panting at this moment, her face was a little angry, she kicked the door fiercely, and said angrily to Hilda who was sitting on the sofa chair: "This Piangi! Why can't he be replaced!" Hilda listened Hearing Christine's angry voice, she closed the book in her hand and put it aside and asked, "What's wrong?"

Christine sat in front of the bed, lay on the bed all at once, sat up again and said: "What do you mean by being dissatisfied with the stage movements, what do you mean by my not cooperating well, he is just making excuses." After she finished speaking, she lay down again. On the bed, bury your face in the pillow.

Hilda suddenly thought of the scene that Christine pointed out to her during rehearsal, and immediately understood the reason for Christine's anger.She stood up and sat next to Christine, patted her lightly, and didn't know what to say.

Christine felt the collapse beside her, and said a little sadly: "Raul didn't come to see me at night..." It wasn't just Piangi who made her a little angry, but also Viscount Shani.

Hilda whispered: "Perhaps Viscount Shani has something else to do tonight?" "No." Christine turned her head and replied immediately, "Raul told me before that every performance I perform he will Come include rehearsal."

Christine stared straight at the ceiling, and said depressedly: "I had a quarrel with Raul this afternoon..." Could it be that quarrel that prevented Viscount Shani from coming to see Christine?Although Hilda only heard a little in the corridor and knew something about it, wouldn't it be better for the person involved to talk about it?

"Raul, he wanted to draw out the phantom during the performance of "Don Juan's Triumph", and he said he would send some people to shoot him." Christine stared at Hilda and said, "I said no... Raul asked me Why. Hilda, he was my mentor, without whom I would never have been a ballerina."

Hilda listened quietly to Christine's report.

"Of course I don't want Raul to carry out this plan, so I refuted him... Then I left angrily." She got up and looked at Hilda sitting next to her, and said worriedly, "The performance is coming soon, I don't want any accidents during the performance." Hilda nodded slightly to express her understanding.

Christine lay back and closed her eyes, she was a little tired today.Hilda got up and turned off the light in the room, and lay down on her own bed to rest.

In the early morning, Christine was called away again by Mrs. Geary.Hilda sat up and stretched, when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Is anyone there?" "Come in."

It was Anne's voice. Hilda got out of bed and walked to the door to see Anne coming in with bread. "Huh?" Seeing Hilda's surprise, Anne asked in surprise, "Hilda? Why are you at the Opera House?" Hilda took the bread from her and said, "Mrs. Giry asked me to stay here." Last few days."

Anne was even more puzzled, and asked again: "Are you going back to the bakery? I mean—if you want to go back." Hilda smiled slightly when she saw the little girl in front of her with a nervous expression : "I won't go back, don't worry." She was relieved when she heard Hilda say that, and a little blush appeared on her face, and said: "That's not what I meant..." Hilda saw Anne's face It became more and more red, and quickly changed the subject.

"Do you know when the theater's new play will premiere?" Hilda took out a piece of bread sprinkled with hazelnut chocolate chips, and asked after taking a bite. "Tomorrow, because I don't have to deliver bread tomorrow." Annie adjusted her clothes, looked up and said to her, "I have to go first, sorry. Mrs. Irene is still waiting for me at the bakery." Annie Waved goodbye to Hilda and left the room.

Tomorrow, she silently recited it several times in her heart.

The room fell silent, only the sound of Hilda turning the pages of the book - and two breathing sounds, one light and one heavy, could be heard.Hilda glanced at the full-length mirror out of the corner of her eye, held her breath, and the only sound left in the room was the slightly heavy breathing.

She closed the book, walked lightly to the mirror, and the sound of another breath suddenly disappeared.

"Eric?" Hilda whispered tentatively. "..." There was a sound of footsteps from light to heavy behind the mirror, and then stopped.Hilda put her hand on the mirror without pushing it away, and called again, "Eric."

"It's me." After a moment of silence, Eric said, "How do you know my name?" Hilda was taken aback, yes, he didn't tell her his name. "Is it Daloga?" Eric asked again.Hilda nodded to the mirror, and Eric behind the mirror saw her confess, and didn't continue to say anything.

"Is the performance tomorrow right?" She asked suddenly. "Yes." Eric seemed to have thought of something, and he said in a serious tone, "Before the performance tomorrow...you have to leave the Paris Opera House."

Why?Hilda was a little dazed when he said that, and stared at herself in the mirror with wide eyes.Eric added at this time: "It's best to leave Paris, at least leave this place near the Opera House."

Leaving the vicinity of the Opera House?

Hilda suddenly remembered that Daloja had told her about the sex in the basement, and she immediately came to her senses.She anxiously pushed the full-length mirror in front of her—but it wouldn't open.

Hilda slapped the mirror with her hands and shouted, "Those... Eric! Why blow up this place!"

But no one answered her, Hilda pushed it hard again, she saw that it was still not open, so she ran out of the room and climbed the stairs to find another secret passage that Eric took her into the basement last time.

Hilda found the wall—still couldn't push it away.She banged on the wall hard, her eyes moistened.

"Miss Hilda?" Mrs. Geary was about to go upstairs to find Meg, but when she passed the stairs, she saw the brown-haired girl from Mrs. Irene's bakery leaning against a wall, and she walked over with her skirt.

When Hilda heard Mrs. Giri's voice, she wiped her eyes with her hand in panic, and looked at the lady in front of her with wide eyes.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Geary frowned, looking at the girl with red eyes. "I... I want to go to Christine, but I can't find her..." "Kristine is rehearsing—you should go downstairs, not here." Mrs. Geary resumed her usual serious look, and said Hilda reminded, "Don't run around in the theater."

"Thank you, ma'am. I will never again." Hilda walked quickly past Mrs. Geary with her head down, and down the stairs to the stage.

Mrs. Geary saw Hilda leave, and she thought about the wall—how did this girl named Hilda know about this place?
