Chapter 162
Attlee was busy on the phone, and Olga was also swamped with congratulatory messages from friends.
“Olga, you and Attlee are too modest. Yoli won the second place in the national piano competition, why didn’t you share this great news with us?”
“The official Facebook page announced it, Yoli is the second best in the country, Serena got first!”
“Yoli is so talented, so bright at such a young age, she’s got a great future ahead!”
“I saw on the official Facebook that the awards ceremony will be held at the Paramount Theatre in three days, that’s the dream venue for all artists! Yoli can enter as an award winner at such a young age, she’s got a bright future!”
“I heard that the award presenters are big shots in the industry! It’s a huge honor to receive the trophy from them!”
It’s been half a month since Yolanda received the competition results, and the official Facebook page just announced it today.
Olga didn’t expect so many congratulations and was very pleased.
Attlee was even more delighted, telling the person on the phone, “Your daughter’s violin skills are also exceptional, Yoli just got lucky…”
As soon as he ended one call, another came in.
“You saw Yoli’s ranking? It was just a small competition…”
Another call came in, Attlee happily answered, “Thank you, thanks for your recognition, Yoli has been interested in piano since she was little, we didn’t have to push
her…”
The Murphy’s haven’t seen such a hustle and bustle in a long time, even the neighbors started dropping by with gifts.
Before long, the maid rushed in reporting, “Fiona from next door is here!”
Fiona?
Her family was quite distinguished…
“Let her in.” Olga tidied herself up a little, even put on some expensive jewelry, “Fiona, why did you bring so many gifts?”
Fiona, a well–to–do woman, had a servant carrying gifts for her, her smile was graceful, her eyes kindly.,
Olga’s eyes lit up at the sight of the gifts, “You are too kind, why did you bring so many bottles of expensive wine?”
At least six or seven bottles, and some fancy cigars…
“This is too much, I can’t accept…” Olga pretended to decline.
“Don’t be so formal with me, we’re neighbors.” Fiona revealed a gracious smile, and gently said, “I heard Yoli got second place in the piano competition, I came over specially to congratulate, she’s so young and promising.”
“Thank you very much, really appreciate your praise.” Olga glanced at the maid, “What are you waiting for? Fiona’s kindness, of course we should accept…”
