“Yes.” Tessa nodded.

Raising his head, Scott glanced at the office building behind Tessa as realization hit him a little. “It’s no

wonder I stumbled upon you near here twice. Are you a member of the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra?”

A trace of intricacy flashed in Tessa’s eyes. Then, she lowered her head and said in an upsetting tone, “I

used to be, but I guess I’m not anymore.”

He was a little surprised. “Why do you say so? Did you resign or something?”

“Well, it’s all in the past. So, it’s pointless to talk about it again.” She raised her head. After that, she

pulled the corners of her mouth into a smirk and pretended to smile indifferently.

It’s just a casual question that I blurted out. So, I don’t really expect a clear answer. Besides, now that I

look at her current facial expression again, I can see that there’s something occupying her mind. What is

more, she looks like she doesn’t want to mention it. Scott was someone who knew when to stop

meddling in people’s affairs, so he simply did not ask any further questions.

However, he could still vaguely guess that there was a hidden reason behind Tessa’s departure from the

Heavenly Chorus Orchestra. After all, he met her near here twice in a row. Perhaps she did not want to

leave.

It was rude to rub one’s nose in the dirt. Thus, Scott smiled gently and said, “I still didn’t catch your

name, considering we’ve been chatting with each other for so long. Care to tell me your name?”

As he spoke, he reached out with his hand to offer a handshake. “Hi, I’m Scott Brooks.”

Tessa was a little stunned. Shortly after, she smiled brightly and reached out to shake hands with Scott.

“Hi, I’m Tessa Reinhart.”

“Well then, Miss Tessa Reinhart, I think the comment you made just now was very interesting, so I wish

to chat with you more for a while. If you can spare me some time, may I buy you a cup of coffee?” Scott

asked with a smile.

Scott could see that Tessa was actually passionate about music, and the comment she made was also

spot-on. She might be a fellow from the same industry.

As someone who had always been accustomed to keeping a distance from anyone, Scott inexplicably

wished to befriend Tessa.

Certainly. Tessa was willing to chat with someone like Scott. Maybe I can even learn a lot of musical

knowledge from him. Therefore, she nodded without any question. “Sure!”

After that, Scott took Tessa to a cafe called ‘Encoded Strings’.

As she stood in the doorway, she silently read out the name of the cafe in her mind. Encoded Strings? It

seems like this cafe is related to stringed instruments.

As expected, as soon as the both of them entered, they heard mellifluous music drifting from the violin

inside the cafe. In an instant, Tessa’s eyes brightened up.

Curling the corners of his lips, Scott explained, “I come here often. Although the violin performance here

is not as good as those violinists in the orchestra, there’s a sense of tranquility. I feel comfortable here.”

Agreeing with Scott, Tessa nodded. “Truly. The skill of the violinist here is indeed nowhere near a

professional violinist. However, they’re still good at playing songs with a slow melody. It’s relaxing.”

After finishing her sentence, she looked at the violinist on the stage rather longingly. It’s a pity. As long as

I’m still in Brentwood, I have no chance to stand up on stage and perform, not even on such a small

stage.

Upon seeing Tessa’s envious look, he smiled and asked, “Do you want to go up there and give it a try?”

However, she shook her head. “They have their own team performing here. I don’t think they will simply

allow anyone to perform on stage.”

“Yes, you can. This place is a public space. Anyone who’s willing to perform can go up there to do so. If

no one is willing to perform, the staff of the cafe will do it. Go on. Go ahead and try.” Scott’s gaze was full

of encouragement.

The reason why Scott had brought Tessa here was to check out her ability. Her comment previously

showed that she has put a lot of effort into this aspect. If she were to actually play it, I’m sure it wouldn’t

be too bad.

Tessa was already tempted to give it a try in the first place. Now that she looked at Scott’s gaze, she felt

a little excited. At that moment, she felt like each and every cell in her body was shouting at her, Don’t

chicken out! You like playing violin, don’t you? Then go ahead and try!

And thus, Tessa immediately got up. After communicating with the staff of the cafe. she directly stood on

the center of the stage.

Although her arm had yet to fully recover, Tessa could still play songs with a much softer tempo as they

would not affect her injury. Therefore, she chose a song titled ‘Cinema Paradiso!

From the moment she picked up the violin, the aura surrounding Tessa changed immediately.
