Chapter 886 Something’s Missing
Susan snorted but said nothing after that, clearly not wanting to continue the subject.
Rorion naturally noticed it as well. He sighed under his breath and said no more, only taking Susan to Hathaway after some time had passed.
It had come time for the father and daughter to act in front of Hathaway.
“Hathaway, this is the young lady you’re looking for, Susan.” Rorion gestured to Susan.
Hathaway sized the young woman up and thought she looked even more stunning up close—she looked delicate and seemingly amiable.
While thinking, Hathaway nodded with approval in her head, having a pretty good first impression of Susan.
Then, Rorion gestured to Hathaway. “Susan, this is the famous violinist I was telling you about, Miss Hathaway of Hathaway Philharmonic,” he said.
“Hello, Miss Hathaway,” Susan greeted sweetly with top-notch acting.
Hathaway dipped her head in reply and asked, “Which conservatoire did you graduate from? Do you have a mentor?”
“I graduated from Vienna Conservatory, and I don’t have a mentor for now.” Susan relayed her newly-written background history.
Meanwhile, Rorion stood silently aside.
Of course, he wasn’t quite comfortable leaving Susan alone with Hathaway.
However, the latter knew none of it and diverted their topic to Susan’s earlier performance.
“I was watching your performance just now and noticed how similar your style is to my daughter’s. Were you a fan of Kathleen?”
“Indeed, I really liked Kathleen. I idolized her so much that I even copied her style.” Susan pretended to fangirl and sighed pitifully. “What a shame, though.”
In actuality, she deliberately said so to stir Hathaway’s mood, and the woman was indeed affected. However, she didn’t let it show.
She took a deep breath to suppress her somewhat ruffled emotions and went straight to the point. “Miss Susan, I can see that you’re very talented. Would you like to join my ensemble? I can personally guide you by then.”
