Chapter 37: Music Prodigy, Where Is Your Dignity?

Olivia had read about Asher in various reports, so she recognized him instantly. Without much thought, she reached out to accept the trophy. But Asher didn’t let go. Olivia was confused.

Asher’s eyes burned with an intense fire. This awards presenter role? He had personally asked Sebastian to arrange it through Mr. Grayson! "Genius composer, I’ve finally found you!"

“Student, would you be interested in being friends? I’m a fantastic composer!” Asher asked with the enthusiasm of a crazed fan.

Olivia was speechless. Phantom Composer, where’s your dignity?

“How about we exchange contact information first?” Asher suggested eagerly, pulling out his phone. Olivia didn’t know how to respond. The scene on stage stunned everyone present. A legendary figure in the world of composition, a top master of music—what on earth was he doing?

Sebastian silently covered his face. He was all too familiar with his friend’s antics, but seeing it happen in front of so many people… it was too embarrassing. He decided to pretend he didn’t know him.

“My friend,” Asher persisted, “even though our styles differ, music knows no boundaries. You can’t discriminate!” In Asher’s eyes, only talent mattered. He didn’t care about Olivia’s background—if she had talent, she was like a sister to him, no matter how unrelated.

Caught in Asher’s relentless self-promotion, Olivia had no choice but to add his contact information. Finally satisfied, Asher happily handed the trophy back to Olivia and stepped off the stage, leaving behind a trail of shattered expectations.

Some of the prominent guests who had been hesitating to approach Olivia were emboldened by Asher’s public display of admiration. If even the Phantom Composer wanted to “befriend” her, why should they hold back? The moment Asher stepped off the stage, the crowd of influential figures surged toward Olivia.

“Olivia, I’m the general manager of StarRise Group. Would you be interested in performing at one of our events?”

“Olivia, I’m the director of Chic Euphoria. We’d love to have you perform at our upcoming charity gala…”

“Olivia…”

The performance event, which hadn’t officially concluded, became a chaotic swarm around Olivia. Within moments, her hands were filled with business cards. Originally, many of these individuals had come to recruit Lily for performances. But after witnessing Olivia’s talent, who would waste their time on Lily now? With a gem before them, who would settle for a pebble?

Among the guests was the director of Zenith Entertainment, who immediately recognized Olivia’s talent. Everyone in the industry knew how sharp Asher’s instincts were. If he took a liking to someone, they were unquestionably extraordinary. Though Olivia’s appearance was unremarkable, her ability to compose for artists made her a valuable asset for any company.

The director, unable to get through the crowd surrounding Olivia, made a call directly to Zenith Entertainment’s boss, Vance Wilson. Zenith Entertainment was a subsidiary of the Wilson Group, managed by Alexander’s younger brother, Vance.

“Mr. Vance! I’ve discovered an exceptional new talent at the St. Rona Academy performance event. I’ve sent you her performance—take a look and see if we should sign her. Even Asher personally added her contact information and praised her composition skills.”

In his office, Vance responded absentmindedly and opened the video that had been sent to him. The moment the music began, goosebumps rose on his skin. By the end of the piece, he was thoroughly impressed.

“That’s incredible playing. It’s a shame we don’t know what she looks like,” Vance remarked.

The director replied, “Her appearance wasn’t very clear—she wore glasses—but Mr. Vance, aren’t we planning an international showcase? With her skill, she’d be a perfect fit.”
