Lyle Maberry was good at fighting with different types of b*tches. If she was here, she would definitely yell out at them, "You shut up, b*tch!"
Hearing Sonya's words, the two assistants became angrier.
"Humph... She must have pestered Little President Chin to bring her here!"
"She's just a country bumpkin. How could she understand the music of piano and violin?"
...
It was obvious that the volumes of their voices had been controlled deliberately, so that Mia could hear what they were talking about.
Mia put her elbow against the car window, and she rested her chin on her palm. No change in her expression could be noticed.
The driver, who was sitting in front of Mia, also had overheard the words of Sonya and her assistants. He thought that something might have gone wrong.
Fearing that the Young Madam might become unhappy, he quickly tried to console her, "Madam, don't take their gossip seriously..."
"They were right in saying that." Mia smiled and replied tenderly, "It's true. I come from the countryside, and I don't feel shameful about it. Besides, all men are created equal, and this is self-evident common sense. No woman can become a swan by imagining herself to be a swan, right?"
The driver was stunned by Mia's words.
He hadn't expected that Mia's value concepts would be so open-minded. He thought that the Young Madam's temperament and critical thinking pattern were admirable.
Mia didn't take seriously the words of Sonya and her assistants at all. She smiled and said, "Lee, please help me to carry the belongings in the trunk to the backstage!"
Her violin was placed in the trunk.
Mia had informed Milan that her driver, Lee, would go to the backstage and hand over the belongings to Brother Brian, Milan's assistant.
Lee nodded and did as Mia said.
Desmond arrived at the concert hall by the time Lee had handed over the belongings to Brother Brian.
When Mia saw Desmond, she noticed that he had already changed into a new suit of clothes.
He was wearing a peach-like pink suit with black stripes, white T-shirt, as well as a pair of white shoes. In fact, Desmond and Mia were wearing lovers' clothes tonight.
Desmond was originally an eye-catching man, as tonight he was dressed gorgeously, he had attracted a great deal of attention from the others.
It was the first time for Mia to see that a man could properly balance his charming personal features and such a flamboyant dressing style.
When Desmond noticed that Mia was glancing at him from time to time...
He was very proud of that.
The two of them entered the concert hall together.
Mia originally wanted to invite Desmond to attend this music concert. As Mia was a very distinguished guest performer tonight, she thought that she could ask Milan to arrange two of the best seats for the two of them. However, the seats of Desmond's two tickets were also two of the best seats.
They were VVIP seats, right under the stage and in the middle part.
As soon as the two of them sat down, a female's voice came from nearby, "Little President Chin..."
It was Sonya Gunn, but her voice was different from the voice which Mia heard when Sonya and her two assistants were gossiping about Mia and Desmond not long ago. Now, Sonya's voice was tender and seductive.
The two assistants of Sonya also greeted Desmond respectfully when they saw him.
Desmond nodded.
He didn't take the initiative to introduce Mia to the three of them, mainly because he didn't think it was necessary.
It was Desmond himself who made the decision to give Sonya an entrance into stardom. Desmond had unique taste and judgment, and most of the entertainment stars who had been chosen by him had become successful and famous in the entertainment industry. This was also the reason why he was able to lead E Entertainment and M Entertainment to become big shots in the industry.
However, Sonya was only one of the entertainment stars in his company. His relationship with Sonya was only that between superior and subordinate. In other words, Sonya was not important enough that Desmond wanted to introduce his wife to her.
However, Sonya misjudged the situation. She thought that Desmond didn't introduce his wife to her simply because he was unsatisfied with his wife. In Sonya's eyes, Mia was only slightly better than a maidservant for Desmond.
Sonya sat down. Although Mia was sitting in between Desmond and her, Sonya still continued to make conversation with Desmond with a smile. "Little President Chin, what a coincidence! I hadn't expected that you would come over here to watch the concert."
Desmond asked back, "Then, why are you here?"
Sonya was an entertainment star, and was indeed inappropriate for her to appear on such a public occasion. At ordinary times, Sonya was very concerned with such things.
Sonya was very unhappy with the fact that Mia was sitting between Desmond and her. Sonya didn't want to let go of the opportunity to embarrass Mia. She deliberately asked, "Mrs. Chin, what do you think of my cousin's solo performance?"
Mia replied, "Not bad."
"Not bad?" Sonya asked meaningfully.
Mia originally didn't want to talk further to Sonya, but the latter had asked her further she smiled and said, "Well... It should be the first time for her to play the violin solo. She's a little nervous. There are some minor mistakes in the dual overtone of the second part."
There was always a difference between the judgment of professionals and the judgment of ordinary people.
It was perhaps difficult for an ordinary audience to realize that there were some minor mistakes within a short period of a solo performance of 30 seconds, but professional musicians could do so.
Mia was right. It was indeed the first time for Sonya's cousin to perform the solo part. In such a symphony orchestra of over 100 people, it was hard to get a chance to perform on the stage, let alone a solo performance for 30 seconds.
However, after hearing Mia's comment, Sonya only felt that this was ridiculous.
Dual overtone? How could a countrywoman know such a professional term? Had she learned this phrase from an online dictionary recently?
"Nonsense! How could you say my cousin had made some minor mistakes? Mrs. Chin, you're from the countryside, how can you understand the artistic values of symphonic music?" After saying that rapidly, Sonya pretended to be apologetic and eased her tone. "Sorry... No offense to you. I just wanted to say that you may not know much about music, so it's inappropriate for you to comment on my cousin's solo performance like this!"
Desmond narrowed his eyes.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Mia pressed down his hand to stop him.
Mia's hand was smooth and soft.
Desmond felt comfortable when his hand was held up by Mia's hand.
Mia said calmly, "That's right. I don't think it's good to comment on unfamiliar things."
Sonya was speechless. "..."
She felt that Mia might be indirectly mocking that it was Sonya who was unfamiliar with music.
Just as Sonya wanted to retort Mia's words, she noticed that Mia had lowered her head.
