Chapter 272
Now that I have worked so hard to finally arrive here, they’re telling me I should aim higher. Where’s the worth of
that higher place? I’m afraid it’s the opposite. They’re implying that I have nowhere to go…
Likewise, Scott’s voice had also cooled down instantly. “Mr. Miller, isn’t your reason a little too far-fetched? Don’t
you understand what kind of person Tessa is after getting along with her these days? She works harder than
anyone. She works even harder than me! If you want to fire her, then our band will have one less capable
performer! You said that the Berlin Philharmonic wants to recruit top musicians and build a world-class team, but
ask yourself, is this really the right thing to do?”
In a cold voice, Robert responded, “Scott, don’t think you can be self-aggrandizing just because I support you. You
know how an orchestra operates. All staff members listen to the music director, and not the so-called world-class
musicians like you!”

orchestra or not is of little importance. We won’t sacrifice the entire orchestra solely for her sake!”
Upon hearing that, Tessa lowered her eyes. The light in her eyes dimmed. As expected…
Since Scott was unwilling to give up, he continued by saying, “Mr. Miller, you should reconsider again, though.”
“We have finalized our decision on this matter, and we will not change it,” Robert said without hesitation. “Also,
Tessa, I really appreciate your talent. However, we really can’t keep you here any longer.”
“I have learned about the incident revolving around the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra. Previously, I didn’t understand
them, but I do now. So, I hope you have some self awareness and don’t bring harm to other orchestras.”
Tessa nodded. “Mr. Miller, no more words are needed. I’ll leave.”
After that, she immediately left Robert’s office.
“Mr. Miller! I’ll find you when I come back.” Scott wanted to say something, but he did not continue his sentence
when he saw Tessa had left. Then, he immediately chased after her.
“Tessa, hold up!” Scott strode to keep up with Tessa.
However, Tessa lowered her eyes as if she did not hear Scott’s words. She simply kept walking forward.
From the beginning, Mr. Miller knew that I was fired by the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra. He even said that he would
like to thank the Heavenly Chorus Orchestra and the Sawyer Group for leaving him with a good candidate. Prior to
this, Mr. Miller also vowed that he would introduce me to the other managers. He said that I will be a rising star in
the music industry, and that the orchestra will have a place for me in the future. He even said that the Berlin
Philharmonic isn’t afraid of arbitrary power, and it is impossible for them to abandon any musician because of this
kind of corporate oppression. But now…
“Tessa! Listen to me.” Scott took Tessa’s hand and pulled her to a quieter corner.
She looked up at him. “Why? Why do things suddenly change?”
At that moment, he did not know how to comfort her. Suddenly, he remembered the first time they met. The first
time we met was when Tessa was fired. She was walking on the road alone and even nearly got into a car accident.
This time, she was once again fired for an unknown reason. It’s absolutely rubbing salt on the wound.
All of a sudden, Tessa curled her lips upward and smiled. “Okay, I’m fine. I’m used to it now. If the Berlin
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPhilharmonic doesn’t accept me, there must be other bands that want me. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll go to
that cafe last time and play my violin.”
Even though Tessa could let out a laugh, that was not the case with Scott. Tessa is one of the most talented people
that I have met before. If she is going to perform in that kind of store, I’m afraid her talent will really be neglected.
Thinking of that, Scott said, “I’ll definitely try to convince Mr. Miller. He’s the music director of a world-class
orchestra. I’m sure he’s not so pedantic. Perhaps there have been a lot of rumors circulating around recently. He’ll
regret his decision in the future.”
Tessa smiled. “Thank you.”
“Don’t be sad. It’s their loss that they don’t appreciate you. It’s almost time to get off work now, so let me send you
home.”
Upon hearing that, she rejected his offer by saying, “No, I can go back by myself. You just talked back to Mr. Miller a
while ago. It’s not good for you to leave earlier now. Don’t affect your career development because of me.”
