The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 496: Please Stay a Few More Minutes
Damian Knight stopped half a meter away from Locke Berg, extended his hand, and introduced himself, "I am Damian Knight. I’ve long admired your name, Mr. Berg."
Locke Berg’s eyes widened suddenly, his mouth gaping in astonishment as he asked, "You are Damian Knight? The one who composed ’Yun’?"
Damian Knight nodded slightly and said, "That’s me."
He has always received elite education, dabbling in various fields, including piano and composition.
A few years ago, he wrote a piano piece titled ’Yun’, which won a world-class award, but afterwards, he had no interest in focusing on it and instead devoted himself to business.
The gaze from Locke Berg and the other two towards Damian Knight transformed instantly.
"Mr. Knight, I’m pleased to meet you here. Your piece ’Yun’ is very spirited, I really admire you!" Locke Berg said, reaching out to shake Damian Knight’s hand, and asked, "Do you have any plans to return to the music industry?"
Damian Knight shook his head and then spoke, "That was just a hobby for me, and now I’m not interested in or have the time to write music. However, I have an unusual request."
"Go ahead!" Locke Berg said politely, but added, "But if it’s to take the earlier performer as a student, I’m afraid I cannot agree!"
Susan Stone, who had just walked over, turned red with anger, and returned to her seat.
She couldn’t help but begin to doubt her own judgment.
Perhaps Willow Grant wasn’t as worthy of their son as she thought?
Meanwhile, Damian Knight voiced his request — 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Would you all be willing to stay a few more minutes, to wait for my friend to finish playing on stage before leaving? I’ll reimburse your airfare."
Locke Berg couldn’t help but skeptically ask, "Your friend is also going to perform on stage? Won’t she be at the same level as the previous performer?"
Damian Knight shook his head, speaking truthfully, "In fact, I don’t know, I haven’t heard her play the piano before. But I trust that she will never disappoint me."
"This..." the group looked at each other in confusion.
Finally, Locke Berg nodded in agreement, considering the piece ’Yun’, "Alright, a few more minutes won’t hurt."
"Thank you all very much." Damian Knight smiled slightly.
His thinking was simple, if the person Summer Monroe was looking for was no longer at Crestfall University, then with the promotion of these three piano masters like Locke Berg, Summer would certainly become famous worldwide.
So no matter where that man is now, he couldn’t ignore Summer Monroe’s existence.
Just like Summer said, finding a needle in a haystack is too difficult, it’s better to let the person come to you.
...
The return of Locke Berg and his group left Principal Payne utterly astonished.
Once he understood the reason behind it, Principal Payne’s face turned green.
To have Locke Berg come back and watch the next performance, wasn’t that courting trouble? Wasn’t the earlier criticism from Locke Berg enough?
He already thought Willow Grant’s piece was quite good, yet it was still disparaged as worthless by Locke Berg and the others, not to mention Summer Monroe who hadn’t even rehearsed!
Moreover, he knew Summer Monroe’s background, a kid from the countryside—
Not that he looked down on rural children, but in piano, it’s something that requires significant financial investment.
Principal Payne was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He was terrified of another embarrassing situation like the earlier one, so, when no one was watching him, he quietly slipped out of the audience, crouching as he headed towards the main hall doors.
