Chapter 231
Tessa’s anxiety and fear from earlier had now turned into self-confidence. Her whole person seemed to have become one with the violin. The performance began when Tessa moved her bow gently.
At this moment, Tessa’s figure looked elegant and tall in her white dress. Her fair fingers skillfully danced on the strings of the violin. The sound of the violin was sometimes tactful while sometimes bubbling with enthusiasm. Each movement was affecting people’s emotions.
As the music ended, Tessa slowly opened her eyes. Her previous aura was still lingering. However, there was a tinge of nervousness in her eyes. Then, she raised her eyes cautiously and looked at the interviewers in front of her.
The interviewers looked at each other. Shortly after, a round of applause broke out.
Scott, who was beside Tessa, also sighed in relief.
I really underestimated Tessa. The piece she performed last time was much gentler. So, I thought pieces with slow rhythm suits her better. I don‘t expect that she can even score such a difficult piece like ‘Canon!
Robert Miller was also a little shocked. When I heard Tessa say she was going to perform this piece, I felt that she was a little too flamboyant and arrogant. I expected her to embarrass herself. However, now it seems that it is us who will eat our humble pies. Tessa is quite capable.
Later, Robert smiled. “I have interviewed so many experienced performers before, and they rarely dared to challenge this kind of music. You are the first. Moreover, you performed it so perfectly with various technical complexities such as pizzicato, overtone, glissando, and trill. There are simply no flaws in your techniques.”
Following the compliment, Tessa breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw they were looking at each other, she thought something was wrong. Then, she immediately smiled and thanked them by saying, “Thank you, fellow teachers, for your compliments.”
After that, Robert added, “You should thank yourself. It’s thanks to your talent and hard work that you achieved your success. Congratulations, you’ve passed the interview. Also, we would like to welcome you to the Berlin Philharmonic for further training and learning.”
Tessa was a little excited, and she bowed deeply again. “Thank you.”
Without a doubt, Tessa was on cloud nine. This is the first good news I‘ve heard after I got fired. Not only did I pass the interview, but I also passed the interview conducted by the internationally renowned Berlin Philharmonic! I‘ll definitely work harder in the future. I will certainly stand on the best stage in the world!
After walking out of the interview hall, Tessa was still so thrilled that her palms were sweaty.
Looking at her, Scott smiled and said, “I knew you could do it. I was truly amazed by your performance today.”
“Speaking of which, I haven’t officially thanked you yet. Thank you for introducing me and letting me come over to the Berlin Philharmonic for an interview. Also, thank you for listening to me playing the violin,” Tessa said very solemnly as she looked at Scott.
Upon hearing that, Scott smiled softly. “I have nothing to do with this. Just like what Mr. Miller said, it was your own hard work and talent that made you succeed. I was simply doing you a favor. Even without me, I believe you will still shine on the stage.”
“Nevertheless, I’m still in debt to you. Otherwise, I have no idea how much longer I’d wait for the right time to shine. So, I have to thank you no matter what. How about I invite you to dinner and repay your kindness for introducing me to the Berlin Philharmonic?” Still, Tessa was headstrong and insisted on thanking Scott.
In Tessa’s eyes, Scott showed up when she was at her worst. Therefore, he was nothing less than an angel sent by God to save her.
“Thank you, then.”
Seeing that Tessa was being so headstrong and insisted on thanking him, Scott immediately agreed as he actually wanted to chat with her more.
Hence, the two found a fancy restaurant.
After they entered the restaurant and sat down, Tessa felt a gaze staring at her all the time. The stare was very intense. It was as if the person would not stop until they caught her attention.
Feeling rather strange, Tessa turned her head. At once, her eyes met with the eager eyes of Gregory. When Gregory saw Tessa was looking over, the stars in his pair of eyes instantly gleamed.
Gregory was so overjoyed that he smiled.
It‘s Greg! In an instant, Tessa was a little surprised. Then, it was followed by a moment of discomfort. I have already made it clear to Nicholas, so I absolutely cannot go back on my words now!
Gritting her teeth, Tessa forced herself to look away almost indifferently and stopped looking at Gregory.
Gregory came to the restaurant with his grandparents, who told him that they were going to take him out to play.
