Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 496
Vinson went after Steven, and when he was about a foot and a half from him, he stretched out his hand
and introduced himself, âIâm Vinson Nightshire, Mr. Parker. Iâve long admired you.â
Steven widened his eyes and, in open-mouthed wonder, asked, âNot the Vinson Nightshire, who
composed Clouds?
Vinson nodded slightly and said, âThatâs me.â
Vinson had had an exclusive education. He was a bit of a jack of all trades and had dabbled in piano and
composing.
A few years ago, he wrote a piece for piano called Clouds, which won an international award, but he
gave up music after that and concentrated whole heartedly on business.
Steven and the two other men immediately viewed Vinson in a different light.
âMr. Nightshire, Iâm very pleased to meet you. I find Clouds very ethereal. I have the greatest admiration
for you!â Steven shook Vinsonâs hand and asked, âDo you have plans to make a come-back to the music
world?:
Vinson shook his head and replied, âThat was but a hobby. I donât have much interest or time for
composing now, but I would like to ask a favor.â
âLetâs hear it,â answered Steven politely, but was
careful to add, âas long as it is not to ask me to accept the previous performer as my student.â
Susanne happened to be passing by. Her face darkened at what she had heard, and she returned to her
seat.
She began to wonder about her choice.
Perhaps, Wendy is not so suitable for my son, after all.
Meanwhile, Vinson boldly made his request.
âCan I ask you to stay for a few more minutes to listen to my friendâs performance? I will reimburse your
air tickets and expenses.â
Steven asked hesitatingly, âYour friend is performing? I hope her standard is not similar to the one just
now.â
Vinson shook his head and said, âTo be honest, I donât know. Iâve never heard her play. All I can say is
that she has never disappointed me in anything.â
The three men looked at one another,
In the end, it was Stevenâs approval of Clouds that swung it. He nodded and said, âOkay, itâs just a few
more minutes.â
âThank you very much,â replied Vinson happily.
Vinsonâs rationale was simple. If the guy that Arielle was looking for was no longer at Jadeborough
University, then an endorsement by these three well
known pianists would equally put her name on the international scene.
Once that happened, it did not matter where that guy was. He would no longer be able to deny Arielleâs
existence.
Arielle was right; it was too difficult to find a needle in a haystack. Itâs easier to get that person to come
looking for her.
Marcus was surprised to see the return of Steven and his friends.
As the principal, Marcus had been humiliated and embarrassed by what had happened earlier.
Stevenâs return to see the next performance is just asking for more trouble. His critique of Wendyâs
performance was very harsh and dismissive when we all thought that she had played well. What will he
think of Arielle who had never come for the rehearsal? Moreover, sheâs only a player from the provinces.
I donât mean to look down on these players, but good pianists need heavy financial investments.
Marcus broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.
He did not want a repeat of what had happened just now. He made up his mind to quietly slip away from
the hall while no one was watching.
