In the center of the banquet, Emily gripped the hem of her skirt, waiting for Death’s judgment. Right now, her future lay in the hands of Hilbert. However, the man did not say anything but only stood there deep in thought. Even his assistant could not help but glance at him and remind, “Mr. Hilbert, what is your decision?”
Frowning, Hilbert suddenly recalled someone. “Emily, let me introduce someone to you. Let’s get her opinion too.”
“Who?” Emily asked woodenly.
“Sweet Tune!” Hilbert turned to his assistant and said to him, “Go and invite Miss Sweet Tune over here!”
Sweet Tune? Sweet Tune Guru?
On hearing that, Emily was seen with a horrible expression. Is Sweet Tune Guru genuinely here? Then did she listen to the entire ‘Obsession’ piece I’ve played just now? Will she expose me on the spot in front of Hilbert? For a while, Emily’s thoughts ran wild, and she was terror-stricken deep down. Then, she stared blankly at the assistant, who came back alone in a daze.
“Mr. Hilbert, Miss Sweet Tune has left the banquet!” The assistant’s tone was even, but it boomed in Emily’s ears, and his words were like salvation to her. Since Sweet Tune has already left, there would be no way to prove it. So, God seems to be favoring me all the way!
“She has left?” Hilbert frowned and looked toward the corner. Indeed, there was no one left, and even Roxy was gone too. Thus, it was quite a pity, as he had wanted to introduce Sweet Tune to Emily so that she could gain some advice in music and meet a senior in the music circle too.
Besides, the two of them seemed to be about the same age, so maybe they could even become good friends. Oh well. Hilbert felt some regret, but he had already spoken, so he had no way to take his words back. After all, other than that small fault, Emily’s performance was still very good.
“Let’s talk somewhere else,” Hilbert said to Emily. After saying that, he walked toward the lounge. Seeing this, Emily followed suit. Consequently, the other guests were dumbfounded as they gossiped about what exactly Mr. Hilbert meant. Did he acknowledge Emily or not?
As they entered the lounge, Hilbert went straight to the point. “Emily, I’m not very satisfied with your performance tonight because I gave you so much time to practice before, but you actually ended up making such a mistake that is the lowest of the low!” After saying that, he sighed. “You could have avoided this mistake!”
He was certainly annoyed with Emily, but if it were any other person, he could simply reject them. Considering the fact that a part of Emily’s performance was particularly good, he did not dismiss her straight out.
Emily clenched her fingers slightly and tried to calm herself down, telling herself to absolutely not cry in front of Hilbert. It was a long time before she bowed slightly and apologized, “Mr. Hilbert, I’m sorry. I hope you can give me this opportunity, and I will definitely practice well! I will absolutely try my best to live up to your expectations and also live up to the title of the successor of the Royal Academy of Music!”
She needed this status very much now to prove her worth, and she had no other paths to choose from. Everyone’s hopes were on her, so nothing must go wrong in this matter.
Hilbert was silent for a long time, and then he finally said, “Okay, then come over to Yobril on Monday. My assistant will pick you up.” As soon as he spoke, Emily was stunned, and she looked at Hilbert blankly. “Really? Is this really true?”
Can I genuinely go to Yobril to further my studies in music? It took a long time for Emily to return to her senses. Then, she blinked her eyes and could hardly restrain her excitement as she exclaimed, “Thank you, Mr. Hilbert!”
Hilbert nodded while barely squeezing out a smile. “You’re welcome. This training is for three months, so I hope you will study well and return with higher musical attainment!”
“Got it!” Emily’s hands gripped the hem of her skirt tightly as her heart thumped with ecstasy.
