Chapter 215
Alexander would perform with this violin in almost all of his performances, so this violin was extremely well-known. It was only later that the master violinist auctioned off this violin after retiring from the music scene. The violin was then bought by an anonymous buyer; it was now worth a lot of money.
Tessa never expected that Timothy would get his hands on it. Although she loved the present very much, she couldn’t help frowning. “You shouldn’t have spent so much money. I can play any old violin. Your company has only just started, so I’m sure you will need to spend on many things. Why did you buy something so expensive? What if you don’t have enough funds later?”
Timothy laughed. “You don’t need to worry about that. Just accept the gift. I know what I can do and what I cannot do. My project proposal has reached the initial stage of finalization, and I brought the materials for President Sawyer to review today. He expressed great interest in the project. That’s why you have nothing to worry about financially. I told you that I’ll take care of you and that I can make our lives better. So, I will definitely make it happen.”
The light in her eyes instantly dimmed when she heard Nicholas’ name. She didn’t even hear what Timothy said afterward.
When she suddenly fell silent, he realized that something was not quite right. She seemed to be feeling down today, so much so that she didn’t even express much excitement when she saw the famous violin. Thus, he couldn’t help feeling odd. “Tess, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
She shook her head weakly. She did not wish to tell him that she had been fired by the Sawyer Group. His career was just beginning to take flight. Moreover, he happened to be working with the Sawyer Group. Telling him about this matter would only add to his troubles.
The more he looked at her, the more he felt that his sister was being very strange today. He worriedly said, “Tess, you can share whatever troubles you are facing with me. There’s no need to suffer alone.”
She shook her head again. “It’s really nothing. It’s just that I can’t play the violin right now, so it feels like such a pity. I hope I can get better soon. That way, I can finally play this violin.”
Upon hearing her answer, he stopped thinking too much about the matter and did not suspect her again. After all, it was true that his sister had been feeling upset because of this injury all this while. Gifting this violin to her at this juncture would certainly affect her emotions negatively.
The next day, Timothy left for work very early in the morning because he had a bunch of things to do at the company.
Tessa’s emotions had calmed down considerably after a night of contemplation.
The Heavenly Chorus Orchestra is good, but it is not the only choice I have. There are countless other orchestras in Brentwood City. I will eventually find one that is suitable for me. In the worst case, she
would just have to start from scratch once more. She did not lack the courage to do so. Therefore, she created her resume and went to interview at the other orchestras with her resume in hand
“I’m sorry, Miss Reinhart. We are at full capacity at the moment. Please go back”
“Miss Reinhart, I had a look at your resume. I’m afraid you don’t have enough accumulated work experience. We are looking for people with at least eight years of working experience. Please try another place.”
“I’m sorry, Miss Reinhart…”
Unfortunately, something outside of her expectations occurred. She interviewed at countless orchestras, but none of them were willing to hire her.
All the other orchestras were clearly in desperate need of people. They didn’t even take down the recruitment notices posted on their doors. Nevertheless, the answer she received once she went inside and finished her self-introduction was a rejection; they even came up with all sorts of excuses to turn her down.
Over the next few days, she visited almost all the orchestras in Brentwood City. Unfortunately, none of them took her interview seriously or asked her to perform a segment on the spot. Repeatedly running into a wall caused her mood to sink to the bottom of the abyss. She even began to doubt her own ability.
Tessa returned home dejectedly. There were clearly no problems with her resume. She might be young, but she had quite a lot of working experience. Furthermore, she graduated from Southfield Music School at the top of her class. Even among the various music schools in the country, Southfield College was one of the best music schools there was.
