Sold Her Soul to the Devil

Jin Liwei and his group led the welcoming applause as Iris reached centre stage to greet Maestro Ludovico De Luca.

Her fiery dress made her stick out like a lone bright flame among the musicians who were all wearing black and white. She looked radiant with just the right combination of modest and fierceness.

She faced the audience after greeting the maestro. Her eyes swept across the more than 2,000 people before zeroing in on Jin Liwei. The corners of her lips lifted into a slow smile, giving her man a deep look. She didn't realize that her expression made her look extremely seductive especially while wearing such an eye-catching red dress.

Right then and there, a number of men and even women fell in love with her.

Maintaining eye contact with her man, she gave the audience an elegant curtsy bow. Then she took a seat in front of the grand piano. Her eyes closed, waiting a few moments for the applause to die down.

Pin-drop silence.
