Chapter 115 Unwilling to Be Her Student
Isla didn't understand, but she still smiled and tried to buy time, "Lady Rosemary, I really admire your compositions. Is there a chance for me to study under you?"
Lady Rosemary raised an eyebrow, showing some curiosity.
"Which piece of music do you like from me?" Isla was instantly stunned. Oh no, she was just being polite and couldn't come up with any of Lady Rosemary's pieces in her mind! She only knew that Lady Rosemary was very talented, achieving fame at a young age, and was looked up to by many piano scholars.
However, a few people next to her spoke up: "Lady Rosemary's 'Destiny,' 'Autumn,' and 'Dream' are all quite beautiful, but my favorite is 'Encounter.' It feels like suddenly meeting the one destined for you on a lazy afternoon... The feeling of joy, romance, and sweetness intertwine perfectly, it's so wonderful!"
"My favorite is Lady Rosemary's 'Floral Fragrance.' It feels like immersing in a sea of flowers, able to smell their fragrance even through the music."
"My favorite is 'The Sea'..."
Seeing that Isla's face turned red and she couldn't say anything, the people around couldn't help but say, "How can you still have the audacity to say you like Lady Rosemary?"
"Lady Rosemary has 132 famous pieces under her name, can you play them all?"
"I really wonder how you came up with your second favorite."
...
Isla blushed embarrassingly and said, "I'm sorry, Lady Rosemary, I'm so happy to meet you that I forgot in my excitement..."
Lady Rosemary was about to leave, but Isla hurriedly stopped her and said, "Lady Rosemary, I truly admire your talent. Is there any chance for me to receive your guidance? I will practice diligently, and every day in the future, I won't let your teachings go to waste!"
She thought the woman would be moved by her diligence...
But Lady Rosemary saw through the girl's ambitions, and coldly said, "I'm sorry, I don't take students."
The people around were all stunned, not expecting Lady Rosemary to refuse so directly. It seemed that she truly didn't like Isla.
Well, as the second-place winner of the piano competition, she didn't even know Lady Rosemary's pieces...
Isla felt incredibly embarrassed, seeing Lady Rosemary was still about to leave, she hurriedly called out, "Lady Rosemary, do you have someone else in mind?"
Lady Rosemary stopped for the third time, and this time, her gaze fell sharply on Isla, "There isn’t someone else in mind, and even if there was, it wouldn't be you."
Isla's face turned pale, "May I ask why?"
"Because you are from the Wilson family, and I don't like that." Lady Rosemary bluntly stated, then glanced at her attire, "You don't suit this outfit, nor these accessories. Lady Margaret was a person of character, and you are ruining her works."
The people around couldn't help but sigh, taking a closer look at Isla, she really couldn't pull off these clothes and accessories...
Seeing Lady Rosemary leave, several onlookers followed suit. Mrs. Wilson, who was standing nearby, was stunned and took a while before approaching, saying, "What nonsense did that chairwoman say? How could she speak to a child like that! It's too much!"
"Mom, I'm fine..." Isla had some self-awareness, "I didn't reveal her piece, it was my mistake..."
"Even if you forgot, she shouldn't embarrass you in front of everyone! You at least got second place!" Mrs. Wilson looked angrily at the departing figure of The Chairman Lady, "And she said you're not worthy of this outfit and jewelry... Who decides if you're worthy or not? We have money, we can afford Lady Margaret's clothes and jewelry, so what?"
"Mom, let's go..." Isla didn't want to stand here and be humiliated anymore.
"She doesn't want an apprentice, and we wouldn't bother becoming her apprentice either!" Mrs. Wilson held Isla's hand and returned to their seats, muttering all the way, "Everyone knows that Mr. Edwards is the most talented in the piano world. From now on, you'll become his apprentice!"
"..." Isla wanted to say that many people with Mr. Edwards' status wanted to become his apprentice, not just her. Even Lola wouldn't be considered!
However, at this moment, she didn't say anything, sat back in her seat, and silently felt a little sad.
Just then, Mr. Wilson's friend, Jonathon Watkins, curiously asked, "Mrs. Wilson, I saw Lady Rosemary talking with your daughter Isla in the hallway from a distance. Has Lady Rosemary taken a liking to Isla? Does she want to take her as an apprentice?"
Because they were far away, Jonathon Watkins couldn't see clearly and only knew that a group of people surrounded them, but he didn't know what they were talking about... They seemed quite close.
Isla was already embarrassed, and when she heard this question, she couldn't hide her expression anymore, feeling extremely awkward.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wilson smiled and said, "Oh, Lady Rosemary did have that intention, but in this industry, the most talented is Mr. Edwards, so I asked Isla to think it over and not rush to agree..."
Jonathon Watkins didn't expect that their ambitions were so high. He paused for a moment and smiled, "To be noticed by Lady Rosemary, Isla must have exceptional piano skills... My daughter has been learning piano for many years, and I've pulled some strings to get Lady Rosemary's guidance, but she didn't agree... It's really remarkable that Isla has caught Lady Rosemary's attention!"
"Isla got second place, while our daughter got fifth place. Are you even allowed to compare the two?" Jonathon Watkins' wife laughed and said, "Isla is so excellent. She'll have the opportunity to impress Mr. Edwards in the future.
Mrs. Wilson wasn't in a good mood, but with all the attention they gave her, she suddenly had a big smile on her face.
"After the host gives the opening remarks, the top eight contestants will go up and perform their pieces. Isla needs to perform well, who knows, Mr. Edwards might be impressed after seeing the recording of today's performance on stage..."
"That makes sense!" Mrs. Wilson quickly pushed Isla and said, "Isla, did you hear that? You have to perform well!"
"I understand." Isla was feeling a bit down, but when her phone made a notification sound, she received a WhatsApp message from Remy, and instantly felt happy.
[I'm in the audience, where are you?]
Isla stood up and looked back in one motion, locking eyes with Remy. She immediately waved and said, "Remy, I'm here!"
After saying that, she couldn't wait to go and greet him.
Mrs. Watkins was a bit surprised, "Who came? Isla seems really happy..."
"Oh, it's Isla's boyfriend. He came specifically to support her!" Mrs. Wilson didn't expect Remy to come at this hour. Her mood became even better.
"She already has a boyfriend after just graduating from high school? So fast?" Mrs. Watkins saw the gentlemanly man and couldn't help but ask, "He seems well-mannered. Which family is he from?"
"Oh, he's the son of the Richest man in Danford."
"Remy?" Mrs. Watkins was surprised. She didn't expect the Wilson family, with their background, to be acquainted with the Johnson family!
"Do you know him too?" Mrs. Wilson knew that with the power of the Johnson family, if word got out, others would envy her!
"Not really..." Mrs. Watkins only knew Remy's mother, but in reality, she had only met Remy a few times.
