Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 284
When Hilbert said that the piano wasn’t a gift for me, Janet must have been secretly glad from the corner. She’s disgusting!
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Hilbert uttered, “Since you really like it, I’ll give it to you so that you can use it to practise your piano skills.”
“What?” She was again stunned while everyone who was present at the scene also looked at him in puzzlement.
He then continued, “After you have taken your college entrance exam, play a piece for me again. If I’m satisfied with it, I’ll officially accept you as my first apprentice.”
“Hiss!” Everyone at the scene inadvertently had a sharp intake of breath. Does this mean that Hilbert has completely acknowledged Emily? If she’s able to become his first apprentice, how far is she from becoming the successor of the Royal Academy of Music?
“This…” Unable to make sense of the situation, she looked blankly at him.
Upon seeing that she was stunned, Hilbert’s assistant teased her. “Shouldn’t you be thanking Sir now?”
“Thank you, Mr. Hilbert.” Emily bowed at him as she was overjoyed.
Hilbert had a faint smile on his face and glanced at his watch before calmly saying, “I’m leaving soon as I have a plane to catch.” He then paused for a moment. “I look forward to your performance in a month.”
“I’ll definitely give it my all while practicing.”
Upon hearing her promise, the corner of his lips was lifted into a smile before he turned and quickened his pace to leave.
When he saw that Hilbert was leaving, his assistant immediately followed behind and whispered in a low voice, “Sir, why did you give her the piano?” The assistant was puzzled because Hilbert had initially prepared the piano for Sweet Tune, but gave it to another person today.
As a matter of fact, Hilbert had ordered the custom-made piano for Sweet Tune, but since she was unwilling to enroll in the Royal Academy of Music, there was nothing he could do.
Therefore, he agreed to give the piano away in his dissatisfaction toward her.
“Sigh!” He let out a breath and didn’t say anything.
Upon looking at Hilbert’s disappearing back view, a few questions inadvertently popped out in Emily’s mind. What is Hilbert up to? Why does he keep changing his mind on whether he wants to give the piano to me? Could it… could it be that he was merely testing me earlier? I’m guessing that my good performance convinced him to change his mind and decide to give it to me? With such thoughts in mind, she started to plan for her future. If that’s the case, I must practice even more to become Hilbert’s first apprentice and the successor of the Royal Academy of Music in Yobril… By then, Janet will be unworthy to even wash my feet and I’ll be free to choose any outstanding men in the whole world. Those sweet fantasies continued to linger in her mind…
