A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Suddenly, Malia’s eyes lit up. She said hesitantly

– He just left me his phone number. He said he would contact me when I was free. Do you think I should call her now? I wonder if I can save this opportunity?

– Of course, you have to call him. Sister Malia, whatever happens, you have to try. It’s about your future. Hurry up to call her.

Kelly said excitedly, as if Oscar was looking for her.

Malia had just called when Oscar picked up.

She took a deep breath. Her expression was calm and she regained her usual dignity and elegance.

– Good morning.

– Miss Rodriguez.

– It’s me. I just postponed an appointment. Are you still in the training room? Can I go now?

– That’s great. When can you come?

– How about half an hour?

She asked cautiously.

– Of course, of course. I will wait for you here.

– All right.

After saying that, she hung up and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Oscar was willing to wait for her in the training room, that meant she still had a chance.

When she was on the phone just now, Kelly was listening to her from the side. Now she says to Malia excitedly,

– Senior Malia, from the words of Brother Oscar just now, I think he has already taken a liking to you. I think you will become his artist very soon. I heard he only takes one artist with him. So, if he guides you, does that mean that you usually train with Mr. Timothee? Oh my god, I’m so excited just thinking about it.

Kelly had a good idea. As long as Malia could become Oscar’s artist, she would definitely have a ticket to Mr. Timothy’s concert.

When that happens, she’ll definitely use the concert tickets to show off to Lyana and Lucia, lest they look down on her.

Malia was still dazed. She felt like happiness had suddenly struck her. She looks up and says to Kelly

– I think I should go back to the dorm to change into something prettier. After all, the first impression is particularly important.

Kelly nodded vigorously and agreed.

– It’s true. We have to change you into something more beautiful. I will accompany you.

Twenty minutes later, after Malia finished packing, she and Kelly arrived at the door to the workout room.

Malia was nervous.

Oscar had waited at the door. When he saw Malia arriving, he breathed a sigh of relief. As he was about to speak, he realized that she had changed her clothes.

She also wore a white dress with straps. Her long hair fell, making her look like a beautiful porcelain doll. She was so beautiful that you couldn’t take your eyes off her.

He was slightly stunned. Malia had even made up. Did she already know?

Oscar approached and smiled.

– Miss Rodriguez, you’re finally here. Come in.

Second Petty Officer Royer had been waiting a long time. If he waited any longer, the Second Master might get angry.

When Malia heard Oscar’s words, she smiled and asked

– Sir, do you want me to teach your child?

That’s what Malia and Kelly had thought about beforehand, pretending not to know Oscar’s identity. That way they could get a good impression of him.

When he heard Malia’s words, he looked at her meaningfully. When she had dressed to attend the banquet, he had thought that she already knew his identity.

Many people knew his identity. If Malia hadn’t changed her clothes, he would have believed that excuse. But now he found that little white flower really boring.

He wondered what Timothy was thinking. Why would he be interested in this woman?

The smile on Oscar’s face has faded a lot. He led Malia inside.

– It has something to do with this place. Let’s talk inside.

She was still very nervous. She didn’t notice the change in Oscar’s gaze. She only thought she was on the verge of instant success. She nodded and said,

– OK.

A sweet smile appeared on Kelly’s face. She stepped forward and took Malia’s arm, trying to leave a good impression on Oscar. Maybe one day such a good thing would happen to him. She would become instantly famous.

At this thought, Kelly’s smile brightened.

Oscar gave Kelly an indifferent look. Without a word, he ushered them both into the room.

Malia seemed calm on the surface, but she was extremely nervous. Her palms were covered in cold sweat, and she was afraid of losing the opportunity to start if she made a mistake.

They both entered. Apart from the instruments, there was no one else in the room.

Oscar looked at Malia and pointed to the middle seat.

– Miss Rodriguez, please sit down.

Kelly gave Malia an affirmative look and obediently retreated to the corner.

Hearing the cough in the earpiece, Oscar said

– Miss Rodriguez, did you practice your violin in this class yesterday afternoon?

Malia froze.

The violin was the last thing she was good at.

Yesterday afternoon, she seemed to have come here to practice the lute, but she had never practiced the violin.

Malia’s mind raced. Suddenly, a bold hypothesis came to mind.

Could it be that someone else practiced the violin here before she came to this class?

Oscar must have taken a liking to the girl who played the violin. However, he accidentally found her.

The joy in Malia’s eyes gradually disappeared. She lowered her gaze slightly. She had really thought that Oscar had appreciated her talent. She never thought she was just a substitute.

And then, what does it matter that she is a substitute? As long as she could seize this opportunity, she would be the one who would be wildly successful.

She clenched her fists involuntarily. Her fingernails dig into her palms, but she doesn’t seem to feel any pain.

Seeing that Malia was silent, Oscar called again,

– Miss Rodriguez?

She retracted and smiled sweetly. She had already made her decision.

Since the heavens had given her this chance, she had to take it firmly, even if it meant becoming someone else’s replacement.

– Yes sir.

Hearing Malia’s words, Oscar heaved a sigh of relief. He had found the right person.

Mr. Timothy’s voice came out of Oscar’s earpiece.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

– Ask her to play Miss.

Oscar smiled at Malia and said

– Miss Rodriguez, the song you played yesterday, Missing, was really amazing. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Would you be ready to play it again today?

Malia’s palms were covered in sweat. His heart suddenly raced. How could she not know that Oscar was testing her?

However, it was a shame that his violin skills weren’t good to begin with. Also, “Missing” was the hardest song to play on the violin. When she practiced it in the past, her skills were barely satisfactory!

Could someone have played this song yesterday?

Malia clenched her fists, the veins on the backs of her hands swelling. If she pulled the wrong string, wouldn’t we see her?

However, at this point, she had no choice.

The only thing she could do now was play the violin. If she offended Oscar, no matter how well she did at the academy, it would be useless.

She had never been so lucid. She looked up at Oscar and said guiltily

– I am very sorry. When I got home last night, I accidentally hit my arm against the wall. My hand is very sore and uncomfortable now. Can I rest for a day or two?

Malia’s thoughts were very simple. It would only take a day or two. She could practice this piece madly until she could play it perfectly.

– How is it possible?

Oscar frowned. He knew the concert would start in two days. Time was running out. Where could he find other musicians to save the day?
