Lucien reached out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Marcus."
Holding Lucien’s hand, Marcus put on a sort of arrogant smile, "Likewise, Lucien. I heard your name when I was in Shaq. When I had just arrived in Aalto, a couple of days ago, I was about to visit you, but Mr. Victor asked me not to distract you from the preparation of your first concert."
Marcus put some extra emphasis on the word "first". In his mind, Lucien should not be respected as a musician until his first concert achieved great success.
"Mr. Victor often mentioned your name, saying that you’re one of his most outstanding students." Lucien remained polite, "In terms of concert experience, I’m not even close to you."
