MY NAME IS DAISY - NOT A BAD DUCK
16. The Jack Connor Music Festival

Today Daisy came back to the office. He studied the company report of PT. Benvollio Farm nine years back. Because later he will continue the company, he must learn everything. During this time the power under the supervision of Edoardo's grandfather run it very well.

The door of the room was knocked. Gabriella appears.

"Miss, the great sir is calling Miss to his room" Gabriella stood firmly in front of Daisy's desk.

"Well, miss Gaby. I'm going to grandpa's room now" Daisy closed her laptop.

"I can do it myself, miss. You can continue your work" Daisy said.

"The big master told me to always be with Miss" Gabriela replied. Daisy nodded.

"All right" said Daisy.

"You know Miss Aneth?" daisy's asking made Gabriela flabbergasted.

"Miss Aranetha, I call her miss Aneth. I think she's your senior" Daisy's casual remark surprised Gabriela. Gabriela pressed a small micropone embedded in the crease of her collar. It serves to connect directly with the center of the security team. So their conversation could be heard at the headquarters of the security team.

"Your body language is the same. I can recognize him. You and Miss Aneth are two of the many members of the Edoardo Luxury group's secret security special team"

Gabriela was glued to Daisy's words.

"I think my room's been secured. So our conversation is definitely safe here" Daisy said.

"Tenere al sicuro 999 (stay safe 999 )" Daisy said, standing firm. That's the secret security team's password.

"Pronta, Signorina 111 (ready, Miss 111)" Gabriela said.

"Zero" said Daisy, then immediately shut up. Then open the door to the room.

Zero is the code that the secret conversation is over.

Gabriela hurriedly followed Daisy's steps towards the elevator.

"It's okay. Miss Daisy is very smart. The master and madam must also be very happy" the voice from the headquarters sounded in Gabriela's ears. He immediately turned off the microphone button.

"Smart and brave girl. No one would have guessed that behind her teenage cheerful face there was a great power that she had. But I can feel it. She was exactly like the big madam" Gabriela stared in admiration.

Mr. Thomas is waiting for Daisy in front of the elevator. Then take her to Grandpa's room.

There was a guest there. He is Jack Connor. Famous musicians in the city of Brown who have been worldwide.

"Daisy my granddaughter, sit down" Grandpa greeted with a face of sumringah. And so did Mr. Connor.

"Good day, Grandpa. Good afternoon Mr Connor"Sapa Daisy before sitting down.

"Good day, Miss Daisy" said Mr. Connor.

"Daisy, Mr. Connor came here to tell you something" Edoardo's grandfather said.

"Please, Mr. Connor" Grandpa invited Mr. Connor to speak.

"Miss Daisy. I was very impressed with your pianom play during a garden party at your grandfather's house. I think you are very talented and a genius in music. You look so much like your father. Your father was my student when he was a child." Mr. Connor spoke.

"Thank you for your appreciation, sir" Daisy said.

Mr. Connor smiled.

"I'd like to invite you to play piano at the Jack Connor Music Festival next month. Are you ready?" ask Mr. Connor.

Daisy was surprised to hear that. It was a prestigious music event held annually in the town of Brown. Musicians who perform are famous musicians. While he is nobody. He had no trace of work in the music world at all.

"Thank you for the invitation, sir. But do I deserve to be there? while the big event usually features great musicians who are already famous" asked Daisy was hesitant about her ability.

Mr. Connor laughed softly.

"You deserve to be there. You should have shown the world that you have great talent that not everyone has" Connor said.

"And let everyone enjoy your stunning pianom"

Daisy thought for a moment, then looked at Grandpa.

"Am I able to perform there because I am grandfather's grandson? Because maybe there are actually many other young musicians who are better than me who deserve to perform with you and other famous musicians" this time Daisy again looked at Mr. Connor.

Mr. Connor thumbs up.

"Because you are worthy. It's not that you're a grandson of Mr. Edoardo. An unexposed musician. Talents like you are rare. Of my many students, only Alessio can amaze me with his piano playing. I don't think I'll ever find someone like Alessio again. But it turns out that he's down on you" Mr. Connor's eyes glazed over. Alessio was his proud disciple. He was like looking at Alessio when he looked into the eyes of the girl before him.

"What do you think, Grandpa? can I perform at Mr Connor's show?" ask Daisy.

"All right, Mr. Connor. I'm willing to attend" Daisy made a decision that made Mr. Connor very happy.

"How many songs should I bring?" ask Daisy.

"You are indeed a young man with a myriad of talents and high spirits, Miss Daisy" Mr. Connor laughed with grandfather.

"Two songs are enough. If possible one of them is another Reverie by Debussy. The rest is up to you. This afternoon my team will send you an email confirmation of attendance along with data that you can fill in" said Mr. Connor.

"One more song maybe I'll sing if it's allowed" Daisy said, leaving Mr. Connor and Grandpa shocked.

"Oooh of course I can. With pleasure" mister Connor looked at Grandpa in astonishment. As if asking, can Daisy sing?. Grandfather just nodded for sure. And Mr. Connor was satisfied with Grandpa's reply.

"Tomorrow your name has been featured in the advertisement of this show. Ready or object?" ask Mr. Connor.

'Please, sir. Its alright. I hope my performance will please the audience" Daisy replied.

"You're the youngest musician to perform later. Hopefully with your appearance, it makes the attention of many young people to watch this event" said Mr. Connor.

"alright. I think it's enough for me to talk to Miss Daisy. Sorry to take up your work time. I'm very grateful" said Mr. Connor again.

"It's okay, Mr. Connor." Daisy said. "I am also grateful for the opportunity"

"It's appropriate, Miss Daisy" said Mr. Connor.

"You can go back to your room, Daisy. Grandpa will still be talking to Mr Connor" Grandpa said .

"Alright, Grandpa. Then excuse me"

"See you later, Mr. Connor" said Daisy, then walked out of Edoardo's grandfather's room.

Daisy already has one more song of choice that she will bring later. He had no trouble finding the song he was going to sing. Because from childhood until now, he always played the piano in his spare time. Her father and mother have taught her how to play the piano and sing since she was four years old. And Daisy can play by not feeling bored and tired for hours. After her father and mother died, Miss Aneth still called a piano teacher for Daisy until Daisy was in junior high school. After that Daisy always practiced alone.

"You're from Grandpa's room?" maxi asked as they met in front of the elevator. Maxi just got the file that Grandpa signed on Grandpa's secretary desk.

"Yes, my grandfather called me" Daisy replied as she searched for miss Gaby who was not waiting for her.

"I told Gabriella to leave. I said I'd be with you" Maxi seemed to know what Daisy was looking for.

"And he's according to you?" ask Daisy for wonder. Maxi nods.

"Isn't there Mr Connor inside?" ask Maxi. This time it was Daisy who nodded.

"So I saw him coming to be welcomed by Mr. Thomas. Surely met grandfather" Maxi explained without Daisy asking.

"I'll watch your show in the front seat" Maxi said excitedly.

Daisy. How did Maxi know that he was going to perform at the music festival.

"If I were Mr. Connor, I would invite you to a music concert. Who wouldn't be fascinated by your amazing pianom game?" Maxi showed off her sweet smile. Because he believes his guess is right.

"I'm not that good at playing the piano. I can only do a little" Daisy walked into the elevator.

"You're so great, Daisyku" Maxi brandished his two mothers' hands before Daisy's face

"Don't overdo it, Max" Daisy chuckles. He removed Maxi's hand from the front of his face.

"But I'm asking you not to tell anyone about this, Max" Daisy said. Maxi nods.

"Everybody will know, my Daisy. You will definitely appear in television and social media ads"

Daisy just remembered.

"Not worry about anything. It's no secret anyway" Maxi laughed.

Maxi knew that Daisy's performance at the music festival would make Marie very angry. Because Maxi knew Marie's dream was to perform on the piano at prestigious music events such as the Connor Music Festival. But Marie's ability to play the piano is not as good as Daisy's.

"I'm just a little embarrassed if before the show everyone already knew it" said Daisy.

"You yaaaa..indeed, you little duck" he muttered making Daisy glare.

"okay...Daisy Fiorella Alessio's. My beautiful future wife" Maxi writhing Daisy's hand to coincide with the elevator doors opening. They're headed for Daisy's office.

They did not realize there was Yazid sitting in the waiting chair staring at them with a jealous look.
