Chapter 185 Andrew Is Really Something
At this moment, Sophia wished she could storm in with people and smash down the door in front of her.
However, her last bit of rationality told her she couldn't do that!
This concerned whether she could stay securely in the Johnson family, so Sophia gritted her teeth and held back.
If she couldn't see him here, he would definitely go to the medical trade association.
At worst, she'd block him at the trade association!
She didn't believe that with Rodolfo's reputation, he could refuse her at the association venue.
Olivia didn't know about this.
After leaving Rodolfo's place, she went back to the research institute to work.
In the afternoon, the director of Harmony City Medical Bureau sent her the schedule for the trade association.
Next Monday afternoon, there would first be a medical symposium for people in the industry.
After that, they would move to the Wilson Group hotel for a dinner banquet.
Speaking of this, the director said with a laugh, "We have to thank Mr. Wilson for this. There are quite a few people at this trade association, and I was originally worried about organizing the dinner. I didn't expect him to just take care of everything."
Olivia understood Daniel's approach.
After all, they had just closed such a big deal in Harmony City.
Currently, the drugs being provided to the military had already entered the research phase, and the funding approval process was also very fast, so naturally, he wouldn't refuse to do something that was just a small favor.
The director chatted with Olivia for a while before ending the call.
Just as Olivia was about to put away her phone, Daniel also sent her the schedule.
She replied, [I already know, the director just contacted me.]
"Okay, I also need to tell you that for Monday afternoon's symposium, you'll go by yourself. I can't participate, but I'll oversee the dinner and we'll meet up there."
"Alright!"
Olivia had no objections.
When she went home that evening, Andrew also sent her a message, telling her: [Tomorrow we need to give Bianca a new round of treatment.]
Olivia naturally agreed. Tomorrow was the weekend anyway, so she could free up all her time.
So she immediately replied: [Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hamilton.]
Andrew's efficiency was naturally very high.
Having said he would treat Bianca, early the next morning, right after breakfast, Andrew came to pick them up.
Bianca was very happy to see him and rushed over: "Uncle Andrew, good morning!"
"Good morning, Bianca!"
Andrew touched Bianca's head, his eyes gentle.
Olivia was happy seeing her daughter happy. After greeting Andrew, she got in the car with Bianca.
At this point, she remembered to ask Andrew: "Mr. Hamilton, what's our plan for today?"
"First I'll take you to meet someone."
Andrew kept it mysterious and didn't say directly.
Seeing him maintain the mystery, Olivia didn't ask who it was. "Okay, then we'll follow your lead."
She trusted the man beside her almost unconditionally.
David was the driver today.
The car drove for nearly an hour before finally stopping in front of a private villa.
The villa was luxurious. When sunlight hit the walls, it seemed to glow with golden light, very dazzling.
Olivia took one look and knew that whoever lived here must have an extraordinary status.
But she didn't ask.
"We're here, let's get out."
After Andrew finished speaking, he carried Bianca out of the car.
David went forward to ring the doorbell.
Soon, a refined middle-aged man came to open the door.
When he saw Andrew, he greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Hamilton, you're here?"
Andrew nodded and asked in a gentle tone: "Is Selene in?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes, she's been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."
Then he invited them inside.
Olivia held Bianca's hand and went in with them.
Once inside, she noticed a vintage, ornate piano in the hall.
Not just a piano - other areas of the villa also displayed many instruments and instrument-related decorations...
It seemed the owner of this house was a music lover.
Just as Olivia was guessing the owner's identity in her mind, footsteps came from upstairs.
Then a kind voice came: "Andrew."
Hearing this, Andrew stood up from the sofa and greeted her, "Selene, long time no see."
Olivia also stood up and looked toward the source of the voice.
When she saw that gentle, beautiful face, her eyes widened in shock.
This person was actually... the famous musician - Selene Peterson!
Speaking of Selene, her life resume was incredibly rich.
As a world-class performer, musical genius, and master of traditional music, she was proficient in countless instruments and had won so many music awards she couldn't keep track.
Olivia never expected Andrew would bring them to meet this person.
By now, Selene had walked up to them.
She was actually quite old - online information showed she was almost sixty, but she looked very young, at most in her early forties.
Clearly, she took very good care of herself and had an elegant, noble temperament.
She first warmly hugged Andrew and said with a smile, "You've gotten even more handsome."
Andrew smiled, "And you've gotten even younger."
No woman dislikes being praised like this. Selene laughed happily, and her gaze also fell on Olivia and Bianca.
She asked in a gentle tone: "This must be Bianca and her mommy that you mentioned?"
She extended her hand to Olivia and said, "Hello."
Olivia felt somewhat overwhelmed and quickly reached out to shake her hand, saying, "Hello, Ms. Peterson."
Hearing this form of address, Selene smiled and said, "Don't call me Ms. Peterson, it sounds too formal. If you don't mind, just call me Selene like Andrew does..."
Since the senior had spoken, Olivia naturally didn't dare disobey and quickly responded: "Okay, Selene."
While surprised, Olivia was also inevitably curious.
Why would Andrew bring them here?
Andrew seemed to see her confusion and took the initiative to explain: "Didn't I mention before about introducing Bianca to a music teacher?
Due to health reasons, Selene can no longer handle activities like world tours and is preparing to retire. Before that, she wants to take on a final and most important disciple. I think Bianca is quite suitable."
Olivia was shocked to hear this.
She remembered he had indeed mentioned this before.
But she never expected it would be Selene right off the bat!
Andrew was really something!
While Olivia was shocked, Selene corrected him: "I haven't agreed yet. To be my final and most important disciple, there must be an assessment.
Let this little cutie demonstrate her musical talent first, then I'll consider whether to take her on."
Hearing Selene's words, Andrew chuckled and said, "Then she shouldn't disappoint you."
He believed Bianca could do it.
However, before that, he needed to explain the situation to Bianca.
Andrew gently held Bianca's hand and told her, "Bianca, this is the teacher I found for you. First, she needs to test you. Only if you pass the test will she take you as a student. Can you accept that?"
Although Bianca didn't fully understand, hearing that this was the teacher Uncle Andrew found for her, she looked at Selene with curiosity.
Selene looked so beautiful!
She really liked her!
Bianca immediately said to her uncle: "I understand! I'll work hard to pass the test~"
Seeing that she wasn't timid and didn't feel distant from Selene, Andrew finally felt comfortable handing her over to Selene.
"Selene, you can start now."
Selene smiled and took Bianca's hand.
Even though facing the four-year-old, soft and cute Bianca, she showed no mercy and made things as difficult as possible.
She required her students to have perfect pitch, so she would randomly play notes and ask Bianca what key they were in.
Bianca knew very few instruments, so she took Bianca to her collection room.
Of course, it wasn't just a simple tour. She would casually play a melody, blow a tune, give simple instructions, and then have Bianca try it herself...
Olivia and Andrew followed behind, watching with their hearts in their throats...
Previously, Bianca had focused on painting. For music, most of those lessons were found online - she hadn't received professional training.
Olivia was a bit worried that Bianca wouldn't be able to handle it and wouldn't become Selene's student in the end.
Andrew seemed to sense her nervous emotions and consoled her gently: "Don't worry, Bianca can do it. Believe in her!"
His tone was very certain.
For some reason, Olivia's restless heart suddenly calmed down.
And the facts were just as Andrew said.
Bianca's learning ability was very strong, and she also had perfect pitch, was very sensitive to musical notes, and had amazing memory.
Things Selene taught, after saying once, she could quickly remember.
What was even more surprising was that instruments Bianca had never touched before, after Selene's guidance, she could actually play quite well.
While Olivia was amazed, she also noticed the change in Selene's expression.
From initial composure to now, her eyes were already very eager...
Her mood finally relaxed.
It seemed that it was really as Andrew said.
Through her own efforts, Bianca had gained the recognition of this big shot, Selene!
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon.
After a morning of testing, Selene had decided to take this Bianca as her only student.
She looked very happy, and the smile on her face never disappeared.
When she came out of the collection room with Bianca, she said to Andrew at the door: "As you said, this is a little one with exceptional talent! From now on, feel free to leave her with me."
Andrew was also very happy for Bianca.
But facing Selene, he calmly responded: "If she wasn't good, I wouldn't have introduced her to you."
Selene smiled gracefully and said, "Of course, I trust your judgment!"
Seeing the atmosphere was good, Olivia struck while the iron was hot and said to Bianca, "Baby, from now on Selene will be your teacher and will teach you music. Now show her your sincerity, okay?"
Bianca asked Olivia in a sweet, childlike voice, "What should I do?"
