Chapter 201
Evangeline was on the verge of rising to showcase her prowess to everyone.
The conference room was abuzz when Tarry, at his wit’s end, bellowed, ” Quiet down, everyone!”
With the room silenced, he pressed on, “Look, I get it. You’re all worried, and that’s fair. But I’ve sent Mr. Alex Gordon to fetch Ms. Evangeline, and she’ll be here any minute. To iron out this whole mess, I say we give Ms.
Evangeline a shot.
“If she nails the gig as our music department’s new violin teacher, we’ll give her a month to prove herself. If she doesn’t wow us, then she’s just not cut out for it. Our department isn’t a playground for amateurs. If she’s not up to the task, she won’t stick around, will she?”
This middle ground seemed like the best way to tackle the issue at hand.
Everyone bought into the idea, and the meeting rolled onto the next agenda,
item.
Evangeline, upon hearing the plan, did not rush into the room to make her case. Instead, she settled back onto her stool.
A one–month trial? Piece of cake. She was itching to show these talent–blind folks what she was made of.
It was not just about proving herself. As the prized last protege of the legendary violinist Loberni, she had a reputation to uphold!
What Evangeline did not see coming was an unexpected twist.
When Alex rang her up, David, who had come to escort Walter to the office, overheard the call loud and clear.
With Walter tied up in a bigwig international meeting, David did not dare tell him.
Once the meeting wrapped up, David finally got his chance to fill Walter in, but as he stood before his boss, David found himself wavering.
Was he about to talk bad about Evangeline and Alex behind their backs?
David pulled a wry smile, “Just don’t call me a gossip after I tell you, okay?”
