Elyse savored the treats at her own pace before her tranquility was interrupted by a call from Darren.
“Congratulations on clearing your name,” Darren’s laughter filled echoed through the phone, prompting curiosity
from Elyse. “You seemed to be in a good mood.”
“I just heard a funny thing,” Darren proceeded to share the source of his amusement. “Freddy claimed he was
willing to sacrifice himself to steal the surveillance video, believing Rebekah possessed a copy. However, upon
encountering her, his aversion to her proved stronger, and he promptly fled the scene.”
Elyse’s surprise was palpable. “Why didn’t Freddy informof his plan?”
Darren reassured her in a casual tone. “I’m not sure why he kept it from you, but rest assured, he’s alright. Just a
bit fragile lately, emotionally bruised from recent events.”
Elyse joined in the laughter before inquiring further, “Has the outcof Rebekah’s punishment been
revealed?”
Darren's tone shifted to a more serious note as he conveyed, “She is facing termination. Her actions have
crossed several lines.”
Upon learning of Rebekah'’s dismissal, a complex array of emotions washed over Elyse, leaving her with a
mixture of feelings. Reflecting on her memories, Elyse remarked, “I recall Rebekah’s capabilities. We both joined
the orchestra simultaneously, and her performance back then left a lasting impression on me.”
With a serious tone, Darren explained, “Our orchestra boasts an abundance of talent. While Rebekah'’s initial
performance may have dazzled, it was but a fleeting moment. In a community filled with exceptional individuals,
she was destined to blend into the ordinary sooner or later.”
Elyse sighed inwardly, uncertain of how to respond. Opting to shift the conversation, she steered it in a different
direction.

her voice, “Mr. Tucker, | completely forgot it's our appointed day today. Have you been waiting for long?”
Cody's response was reassuring, devoid of blame, as he expressed concern, “Don’t be nervous. | understand the
situation with the online events lately. Take this tto rest. We'll reschedule for next time.”
Elyse felt deeply touched by Cody’s understanding and patience. His caring demeanor reminded her of a
compassionate instructor, providing support and guidance when needed the most.
Cody continued, “Furthermore, I listened to the instrumental version of those songs. You possess remarkable
talent as a composer. Therefore, | advise you to ensure you register the copyright for your original compositions.
It's important not to overlook this.”
Elyse was unaware of the possibility of registering music for copyright protection. Grateful for Cody’s reminder,
she felt a newfound sense of appreciation for his guidance.
Codys teasing tone lightened the conversation, “Your music is truly unique, and your composition skills surpass
many others. But let's not get too carried away with pride, shall we?”
Elyse’s excitement soared at Cody’s recognition. After ending the call, she couldn’t contain her enthusiasm and
promptly requested more dessert from Driscoll, her spirits lifted by the encouraging conversation.
