“As a mother, I’m concerned about Soraya studying abroad alone.”
“My dear mother, don’t worry, I have classmates who can look after Soraya while she’s away
Christopher returns to his private backstage room and spots his proudest student, George. His eyes light up “Darcy, when did you arrive??
“Mr. Christopher, I just got here a little while ago.”
Just as
as Christopher is about to invite George to play one of his recent compositions, he is interrupted by a group pushing through the door. “Christopher,
we have a few questions for your
Three fashionably dressed female students enter, accompanied by Soraya in a chic evening gown. Upon spotting George, ther eyes widen with curiosity and admiration. Who is he? He’s incredibly handsomel
They’ve n
ve never seen a man so strikingly attractive before.
The man clad in a smoke–gray suit with a deep–colored shirt and a moon–colored bow tie, stands tall and poised, exuding an air of refined elegance. His captivating eyes shine like stars in the night sky, breathtakingly beautiful. He carries himself with a warmth and gentleness that feels almost ethereal
Noticing their entrance, he nods slightly, a friendly smile playing on his lips, his demeanor calm and composed
The female students are instantly captivated, their gazes filled with admiration as they draw closer to him
“Who might you be?” one of them asks
Christopher frowns slightly, such occurrences are common after awards. As a mentor, he often needs to maintain decorum and thus doesn’t pay much
attention to these distractions.
“Christopher, we just received awards,” one of the students responds.
Soraya gazes at the striking man before her, her cheeks flushing like delicate rose petals. Eager to make an impression, she decides to speak first. “What
would you like to learn?”
Quickly nudging her classmates, Emily Jones and Amanda Gray, Soraya encourages them to ask Christopher for plano tips.
Christopher gestures toward a nearby grand piano for an impromptu tutorial. He turns to George, saying. “Darcy, please wait a moment.”
“Of course, you go ahead! George replies, his voice smooth and pleasant, reminiscent of a gentle stream, stirring emotions in those around him⠀⠀
Darcy? What a beautiful name! Soraya’s heart races and the blush on her cheeks deepen Clearing her throat, she steps closer to George
“Hello, my name is Soraya. I’m a first–year graduate student at the HX Music Academy. It’s a pleasure to meet y
you!”
She extends her hand eagerly, but George merely nods politely, his eyes devoid of warmth, before returning to Christopher without further engagement
Feeling awkward, Soraya quickly regains her composure, platting how to get his contact information or perhaps add him on social media.
With newfound courage, she takes a few steps forward in her heels, flashing him a charming smile. “Are you a student of Christopher? What a coincidence! I also want him to be my mentor, so I’m sure I’ll be your junior sister soon.”
George glances at her and replies calmly, “I am a student of Christopher
gaze shifts back to Christopher, who
His voice is steady and clear, like a gentle stream, yet carries a hint of aloofness that keeps others at a distance. His ga
is tuning the piano, his expression serene and dignified.
Christopher is a celebrated music maestro, both nationally and internationally recognized. Many renowned directors from around the world have sought his compositions, but he shuns commercial music ventures. Although he appears approachable, he maintains high expectations regarding musical
proficiency
Each year, he receives countless applications from aspiring students, but only a select few earn his approval. Not every applicant finds a place under his guidance. George is among his chosen few.
George loves music, but he is not interested in creating a commercial enterprise around it. He seeks to use music as a means to cultivate emotional intelligence, cleanse his soul and explore the depths of spirit and creativity. This is why Christopher holds a special fondness for him
With Christopher’s rising fame, some individuals attempt to exploit his reputation by falsely claiming to be his students for personal gain. Aware of the adage that “clear waters hold no fish, he turns a blind eye as long as his reputation remains intact and the exploitation stays within reasonable limits.
When Soraya realizes that George is uninterested in continuing their conversation, she feels a twinge of irritation but maintains her polite smile. It’s time to change her approach. Once she becomes a student of Christopher, she could get closer to him.
Once she has his contact details, she could invite him out under the pretext of seeking guidance on his musical concepts as a junior sister asking for help from a senior brother. Surely, with their constant interaction, sparks of romance would fly…
Christopher is now teaching two female students how to play the piano. “You must pour your emotions into the music. Try to visualize the imagery within the notes; only then will it resonate more deeply.”
Concerned that George has been waiting too long, he turns to the ladies. “Reflect on what I’ve taught you when you return. I have other quests today
Thank you, Christopher the students reply, bowing in gratitude before approaching Soraya, tugging at her dress. “Aren’t we leaving?”
Soraya keeps glancing back at George as he walks into the inner room.
Emily smiles, “Soraya, let’s go. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
