Chapter 72
Aiden couldn’t help but shed tears when he spoke passionately.
Lilith empathized with her. “What a pity.”
Aiden composed himself and clinked glasses with Mason, adopting a lighter tone. “But I will find her. It’s never too late to pursue a career in music.”
Mason smiled reservedly. “Your dedication to classical music is truly moving.”
Then, he glanced at Ava.
Ava immediately presented a check for three million dollars, skillfully saying, “This is a small symbol of support from Mr. Mason for classical music. Please accept it, Mr. Aiden. In the future, if you needs anything, Mr. Mason will not hesitate to offer assistance.”
Aiden, being polite and reserved, responded, “That’s very kind of you, Mr. Mason.”
Mason excused himself. “I hope I’m not intruding.”
Finally, David accepted the check and saw Mason and his group off.
When David returned, Aiden was still sipping his drink.
David chuckled. “Where did Mr. Mason find such a treasure? She’s nowhere near as good as Zoe, both in skills and emotions, not to mention her looks.”
Aiden leisurely remarked, “Taste is subjective.”
David hesitated and asked, “So, are we not accepting Lilith?”
Aiden put down his cup and sighed softly. “David, our profession may
sound elegant, but it’s tough to make a living. Even with my principles, it’s hard to uphold without money in hand. Now, someone is willing to support classical music generously. How can I refuse?
*Besides, the orchestra has quite a few miscellaneous staff; well find a suitable position for Lilith. The key is that I managed to push Zoe forward, preserving our reputation.”
David chuckled upon hearing this.
He picked up the check and flicked it gently. “Then, shall I arrange for you to have a meet-up with Zoe? How about the Cortes Cafe in Southport Fishing Village? I remember Zoe loves the desserts there.”
Aiden gave him a sidelong glance and laughed. “You seem to remember quite well.”
On the other side, Mason and his entourage departed.
Lilith couldn’t understand. “Why did Mr. Mason give Mr. Aiden so much money when she rejected me? That’s too much!*
Ava thought, ‘You don’t understand a thing!”
A master like Aiden doesn’t casually accept students at first sight. That would lower her status. The three million was a stepping stone, a gesture of sincerity from Mason.
HoHowever, Ava was patient with Lilith in front of Mason, speaking
je gently, “Aiden is very cautious. Be patient, Ms. Lilith. There’s nothing Mr Mr. Mason can’t handle.”
Af After a moment’s hesitation, Lilith asked softly, “Did I perform badly?”
