Chapter 286 - 283: Rising Star V (2/2)

--

”Good morning Ms. Emily! We read about your interview with esquire, it's truly inspiring to normal everyday workers like us.” One of Columbia's employees greeted.

Emily smiled, ”Good morning too, Mr. Juliard. Thank you very much, I'm glad that it had that effect, but I believe that you are more inspiring than myself.”

Juliard was more amazed by Emily's humbleness. He and the other employees could not help but compare, they didn't know why, but they just did (triggered by Esquire but they did not know).

Whenever Lady Serena arrives, she just nods at them in acknowledgement, and they can't feel any connection with her. Like she's kind, but there's always a divide. Maybe because she's a daughter of a duke, and very noble. However, Emily was different, she was like them.

Although she too was part of the peerage, she was easy to relate too, especially now that they read all about how she lived in Esquire. It made them want to cheer for her more. It made them feel like her success was the success of all the day-to-day workers like them.

Even more inspiring when the writer quoted her line, ', don't know why people think lowly when another is living humbly, for as long as one lives honorably, one should take pride in it. Having a roof over one's head is blessing enough.'

”You are far too kind Miss Emily. May I ask why you are here today?” Juliard asked.

”Ah, I am looking for Lord Charlton, I wish to show him this new piece I wrote, maybe if he approves of it, Columbia's can have it recorded. I feel nervous as this is my first personal composition… also, he must be busy working with Lady Serena. I wish I could be like her… her skills and composition are so amazing that she doesn't have to get in line anymore and can just directly get it recorded. Ah… I can only wait for the day.” she lamented. Carefully constructing her sentence.

Juliard nodded his head, ”Indeed, lady Serena's works were all very amazing. It was because of her and Lord Charlton that Columbia has reached this height in a short matter of time. Though, I do hope lord Daniel gives your composition a chance. I'm sure it would be wonderful and many people will support you. Me included! Hehe”

Emily smiled at him, ”thank you so much. Now, I must excuse myself and see if I can squeeze myself in for the day. Wish me luck!”

”Good luck Miss Emily! All the best!”
