Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife Chapter 372
Rebecca was very nervous. She had only received the piano score in her hand a few days ago and was not completely familiar with it yet.
Hilbert’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, then he drew in a breath and smiled. “Of course!”
He kept trying to convince himself that he was focused on musical talent and not simply on outward appearances. If this girl in front of him was able to exceed his expectations in playing the piano, then the inadequacies in her memory were hardly an issue.
“Thank you!” Rebecca beamed.
Taking a deep breath, she cleared her mind of any distracting thoughts and let her hands fall on the black and white keys of the piano, initiating the start of her performance.
Hilbert’s eyes glistened; he was excited to hear the sound that moved him once again.
As the stream of notes flowed out, his fingers on the soft leather sofa also moved along to the music.
Not long after, however, his fingers came to an abrupt stop.
Opening his eyes, he waited until she finished playing to yell, “Stop.”
When Rebecca looked up and met his green eyes, all she saw was a look of disappointment.
It seemed like he was not satisfied with her performance today.
Disheartened, she lowered her head and forced a smile. “I’m sorry for disappointing you!”
This was not how she imagined it to be. She thought that she had played well, but why was Hilbert against her?
It was hard for her to accept.
She did not believe that she lacked the slightest in comparison to Emily—she did not back then nor did she now.
Seeing the girl in front of him biting her lip while her eyes filled with tears, he hesitated for a moment before he lamented, “Miss Davis, I don’t think you played badly! But, you might not be as good as the candidate I have in mind. Between the both of you, I still choose her.”
The ‘her’ referred to Emily.
Even though the level Emily was at more than a month ago was not that far off from where Rebecca was now, he believed Emily would have improved the next time she played for him.
