Steven made no secret of his disdain for the level of the pianists in Chanaea.
Susanne let out an awkward smile, not knowing how to respond.
The teachers around darkened their faces upon hearing that, and Marcus nearly stood up to confront Steven. But Zelda, the teacher in charge of the freshman party, held him down in time and whispered, “Mr. Brown, please calm down. He's our VIP guest. Many schools wanted to invite him but got rejected. Please don't forget his status.”
Marcus, who had a patriotic heart, could not hold his anger. “I know he's the top pianist in the world. But how could he humiliate us like that?”
Zelda's expression turned awkward. “But... he's speaking the truth. There's indeed no good pianist in Chanaea right now. Even if we pick the one with the best skills, it would pale in comparison with Mr. Parker's students.”
A dark expression loomed over Marcus' face.
That is not false though...
But soon, Marcus' eyes lit up with anticipation.
“Didn't we listen to Wendy play Reborn before? She was good! Who knows, we could use this opportunity to change Mr. Parker's impression of Chanaea's pianist!”
Upon saying that, Marcus urged Zelda. “Please go to the back of the stage and check on Wendy. Tell her that Mr. Parker is here and ask her to perform well. She doesn't only represent herself, but the whole university. To look at a bigger picture, the pride of the entire Chanaea is on her
shoulder!”
Zelda nodded right away. “There's a lot of props from the previous performance. It might take another five minutes to finish moving all the props and bring up the piano. I'll go check on Wendy now!”
“Okay, okay!” Marcus was utterly anxious and excited at the same time.
He was anxious that Wendy might not perform well. On the other hand, he was excited that she might end up winning Steven's heart with Reborn.
Wendy got changed into a pretty silver dress at the back of the stage, getting ready.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nervousness.
