Christine turned to storm off in anger.

Meryl let out a mocking laugh. "What are you, three or five? You're in your twenties but still running to daddy whenever there's trouble. Why don't you just hide behind his coattails forever if you're going to embarrass yourself like this?" "You..." Christine's eyes turned red with fury, her whole body trembling with rage.

Meryl's words left Christine frozen, unsure whether to go or stay.

Blinded by anger, she rushed at Meryl and raised her hand to strike.

Meryl caught Christine's wrist in a firm grip, her eyes turning cold.

"I'm here to study under Mr. Herty, not to fight with you. You think this orchestra is your personal playground? Let me warn you once. Stay away from me! I'm giving you one chance. Next time, you'll regret it." Every practice room in the orchestra had HD security cameras. This scene would be clearly recorded.

Christine bit her lip.

Fighting was strictly forbidden in the orchestra. If she actually struck someone, she'd face serious consequences. Even if her father wanted to protect her, he couldn't ignore clear evidence just to maintain authority. Christine lowered her hand. "Just wait until Mr. Herty returns from his trip. I can't wait to see you get kicked out!"

The orchestra didn't tolerate freeloaders.

New members needed a teacher's guidance and approval before they could perform in public.

Without a willing teacher, even if Meryl had pulled strings to get in, she'd never get any performances. In other words, she'd be stuck as an apprentice forever.

Christine sat down with a huff, about to start practicing with her violin, when Harvey suddenly walked in.

Everyone's eyes lit up at his appearance.

Christine jumped to her feet, her eyes eager. "Mr. Herty, what brings you here? We don't have a master class today, do we?"

As the orchestra's superstar, Harvey turned heads wherever he

went.

Given his prestigious position, he rarely attended regular rehearsals.

He only showed up for significant events like state dinners, so the orchestra members didn't see him often.

Harvey's eyes swept across the rehearsal room, finally landing on Meryl's face.

"I'm here for my apprentice."

"Apprentice?"

Harvey beckoned to Meryl. "What are you standing around for? Come and pay your respects to your new teacher!" Christine and her two sidekicks were stunned.

Their jaws dropped so low you could fit a whole egg in their mouths. "Mr. Herty, you're taking her as your apprentice?"

Harvey turned to Christine. "I've had my eye on this talent for a while now. I'd better snap her up before another master tries to steal her away."

Harvey called out to Meryl again, "What are you waiting for? Come here!"

Meryl walked toward Harvey with her cello. "Mr. Herty."

Christine's mind was spinning.

In his words, Harvey placed Meryl on a high pedestal.

What's more, from the way he spoke, it wasn't Meryl who sought

him out. Harvey had actively chosen to take her as his student.

It meant...

Among all the musicians in the orchestra, so many had eagerly sought to become Harvey's students, but he'd turned them all down. Yet here he was, choosing Meryl as his final student. "Why can't such an exclusive honor be mine?" Christine thought.

For three years straight, she'd gone to Harvey's house in person. Even with her father, the deputy conductor, speaking on her behalf, Harvey had never budged an inch! Write your comment
