Serena was stopped as the show ended.
The person who called her was a backstage staff member of the opera house, with a work badge hanging around his neck, "Miss Serena, Dean Raymond would like to see you in his office."
Dean Raymond!
Serena's eyes suddenly lit up.
After last year's Starlight Competition, a girl from Manhattan University won the gold prize and, similarly at Dean Raymond's invitation, participated in a concert at the Paris Opera House.
Everyone thought she would perform the dance that earned her the gold prize, but unexpectedly, she played a violin solo at the concert.
After the concert, she received an olive branch from the Paris Opera House.
Before taking the stage today, Serena glanced at the ensemble.
Although she didn't know which of the violinists was last year's Starlight Competition gold prize winner, Serena felt an immense sense of inspiration.
And now, the opera house staff said that Dean Raymond wanted to see her.
