Always Been Yours Chapter 568
Angus did not elaborate much.
Upon seeing this, Tessa did not inquire any further and beckoned him to have a seat.
Angus helped himself and directly sat down. Then, he chatted with her. “I heard from my uncle that you’re going to perform on stage tonight.”
“Yes, I did request him to save me a performance slot tonight. I feel like trying out my capability after days of practice.” Tessa nodded and admitted.
Upon hearing that, Angus looked at her with a faint smile and encouraged her by saying, “I believe you can do it. Good luck!”
“Thanks.”
After that, the two talked for a while before Louis came over.
When he saw Angus, who was sitting across from Tessa, his hazel eyes flashed.
At once, he said to Tessa, “I have made the arrangement for you. You’ll be the first to perform later.”
“F-First?” Tessa was surprised.
Upon seeing Tessa’s reaction, Louis teased her, “Since you kept me guessing a while ago, I really want to see how much you have improved.”
Tessa went speechless, and she did not know whether to laugh or cry. Even so, she had faith in herself. “Don’t worry. I definitely won’t let you down.”
pite saying so, she still felt a little nervous when she was about to perform on stage,

In order to ease herself up, she clenched her hands into fists and released them again. Then, she comforted herself by muttering, “It’s alright. Just treat this as an ordinary performance.”
Besides, wouldn’t it mean I didn’t learn anything during this while if I’m feeling nervous now?
Uncertain if her self-soothing worked, Tessa did return to her calm composure after a few minutes.
As soon as the time came, she took her violin case and went up to the stage.
The moment she appeared on the stage, the silver-white stage lights fell on her.
Upon seeing an unknown beauty appear on stage, the audience under the stage started whispering
“This girl looks like a stranger to me. Does anyone know her?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Let’s see what she’s capable of first. I’m sure she must possess a certain forte to be allowed to perform on stage.”
Listening to the whispered discussions under the stage, Tessa took a deep breath. Then she closed her eyes and placed the violin on her neck.
Similarly, the audience also held their breath.
With the emergence of a strong tone, Tessa played one of the most difficult scores for violin
-“Flight of the Bumblebee”.
The most difficult part of this piece was that its rhythm was very fast. This piece was the ultimate test of a performer’s speed.
Following the increasingly intense and rapid melody, everyone present felt amazed, in particular for Tessa’s superb playing skills and her mastery of intonation. Of course, they were impressed by her style, which was drastically different from her old style. As if the music had granted the performance a unique soul, her performance was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, like a breath of fresh air.
“Who is this?”
“Damn, she plays so well!”
“She’s still so young too. I bet she’s a genius!”
“Does anyone know her?”
“I don’t seem to recall her ever performing on stage before.”
Under the stage, everyone was inquiring about Tessa’s identity.
As Louis listened to the discussions around him, he gave out a cunning smile, like an old fox.
He did not tell everyone any information about Tessa. Instead, he simply calmed them down. “Now’s not the time to discuss this. You guys should listen quietly.”
After the song ended, there was thunderous applause.
“Awesome!”
“This is the best ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ I’ve ever heard.”
“She effectively delivered both in terms of speed and rhythm! And she’s still so young. She really is a genius!”
Listening to the constant praise from the audience, Tessa slowly opened her eyes.
As she looked at the pleased look on everyone’s face, she knew that her performance was a success. At that moment, she was very relieved.
“Thank you.” She bowed to the audience and thanked them. Just as she was about to get off stage,
someone called out to her, stopping her.
“Miss, you played very well. Can you play another music piece?”
“Yeah, one more piece.”
“It’s really good.”
Under the stage, many among the audience still could not get enough of Tessa’s performance. They all hoped that Tessa could perform another piece.
Listening to their remarks, Tessa felt happy to the core.
After all, the best result for a musician was that their music was liked by the audience.
Even so, she did not agree promptly. Instead, she looked at Louis.
