Every time Liana practiced, the music room would be crowded with people. Even though it was just practice, Liana's reputation as a musical prodigy echoed loudly within the school. She had been taking piano lessons since she was young, following famous teachers. She had a beautiful appearance, musical talent, decent academic performance, and an impressive family background."Wow, look at Liana, she's truly a talented girl. We will forever admire her!""Yeah, if I were half as talented as Liana, my mom would be happy!"…Catherine and Ronin happened to pass by the music room. They overheard the conversation between the girls sitting beside them.Ronin's mouth twitched. He rolled his eyes, saying, "Boss, do these people ever think before they speak? Liana is talented? Forget about it."Bryan, who happened to be nearby, glanced at Liana, sitting straight with an elegant posture in front of the piano. In school, Liana could indeed be considered a talented girl. But there were always
Facing Ronin's arrogant question, Elena wasn't afraid at all. She was the young lady of the Leighs, their only daughter, so it was normal for her to be arrogant. Besides, she had people investigate Ronin. He grew up in the countryside and only got into their school because of his exceptional grades. It didn't matter if this countryside kid looked look. She couldn't stand him at all!"Ronin Oconnor, you're just an ignorant country bumpkin, so I don't blame you for being used by others. Listen, we don't want your apology. We need Catherine to apologize to Liana properly. Today, we'll figure out who was more talented!"A country bumpkin?Ronin coldly studied Elena. It seemed that she had no real abilities. He had just casually arranged an identity for himself, and she took it seriously."You want Boss to apologize to you?" He scoffed inwardly. "Who the hell do you think you are?"Catherine looked at Elena's self-righteous expression, wanting to laugh. She didn't know where Elena's
Catherine's sneering eyes were clearly calm. To Liana, they were like two sharp blades scraping down hard on her face, hurting her to the core.She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Catherine's eyes.Catherine's eyes, as bright as amber, fixed on Liana as if they could see right through her.Liana didn't believe that Catherine knew anything about rhythm. It was most likely that Ronin had secretly told her about it. Liana clenched her teeth and made her decision.When Catherine looked up again, she found that Liana had adjusted herself and was looking at her with a fierce look.But what was the use of being fierce? After all, Catherine was no match for her.Liana's gaze was fixed on Catherine. "Cut the crap, Catherine. If you dare to go up to play a song and gain everyone's favor, then you'll win."Liana was sure that Catherine wouldn't dare to go up because of her guilty conscience.Ronin had long been tired of tolerating Liana. Compared to Audrey, Liana, also
Soon, it was the first round of auditions for the school's celebration gala.It was an aristocratic school. Whenever it came to a celebration, the school would pay much attention to it and hold a grand event.Moreover, it was the anniversary celebration this time, so the school authorities attached great importance to it. Even people from art colleges were coming to select talents.Bryan had been training overtime these days and finally made some headway, and Catherine had already recognized him as part of the team.The school authorized the students not to wear uniforms during the performance.Bryan had arranged for the best tailor to make a new outfit, which was the same color as his guitar, an invincible match.Seeing Bryan coming down from upstairs without wearing a school uniform and going out without even eating breakfast, Karl shouted to him to stop immediately. "Brat, dressed like that, where are you going by skipping school?"Hearing Karl's words, someone immediately bl
Catherine was confused. She gave Branden a searching look.Branden's handsome face revealed a hint of a smile. His lips could not help but lift a bit."I heard you are participating in the celebration gala selection.""Yes," Catherine answered briefly."Can I watch it?" Branden looked earnestly at Catherine.It was one of the few times Branden used an interrogative sentence. He was used to ordering people. His interrogative sentences were only for Catherine.Catherine was okay with it. All teams would perform in public. Anyone could be in the audience, and so could Branden."It's the early stage now. I'll let you know when I make it to the final."The teams would audition during the qualifying match, and there might not be many qualified performances. Catherine thought it unnecessary for Branden to watch her show at this stage, so she wanted him to be there after she was in the final.Branden gazed at her with a mischievous smile in his bright eyes.Catherine caught it and wa
The auditions for the celebration gala started in the afternoon. Other teams were all out to hog a suitable practice room.Many teams signed up for the audition, but there were not enough practice rooms to go around. They needed to hurry up to occupy a space.George noticed that Catherine and her teammates did not move and felt puzzled.He had no guts to talk to Catherine, so he turned to Bryan, who was relatively friendly and on Catherine's team."Bryan, why don't you go to the practice room to rehearse? The practice rooms are almost jammed. You will probably not get a space if you don't move now."Bryan looked up at George with a frown as if he had heard something ridiculous."Boss said we don't need to rehearse."George admired Bryan's attitude.Bryan had always been so confident.George understood what Bryan meant, but he was still somewhat uneasy.Catherine's team had never rehearsed since the announcement of the celebration gala, while others all rehearsed their perform
At noon, the final bell rang. It was like Catherine's alarm clock. When the bell stopped ringing, Catherine awoke.When Ronin saw her wake up, he reacted immediately and handed her the coffee he prepared."Boss. Coffee."Catherine reached out to take it. Gulping down a big mouthful, she felt refreshed."Ronin, you're even more thoughtful now."The temperature of the coffee was neither too hot nor too cold. Catherine was satisfied.Bryan was jealous. He disdained Ronin's licking Catherine's boots. Meanwhile, he was jealous of Ronin.Ronin knew Catherine's preferences way better than Bryan did.Bryan could not accept that.He decided to pay more attention to everything about Catherine and marked down what she liked and did not.After she downed the coffee, Catherine was wide awake. She stood up.Ronin followed her and suggested, "Boss, let's grab lunch."The three did not go to the school cafeteria. Instead, they went to a restaurant near the school.Catherine loved spicy fo
Bryan had practiced a lot and showed Catherine, and he also witnessed Ronin practice occasionally.However, Catherine had never sung in front of them.Bryan was perplexed, but he had unreciprocated trust toward Catherine, so he asked Catherine nothing.They were finally about to rehearse together, and Bryan wanted to see Catherine's prowess.But Catherine let him down.After getting on the stage, Catherine only asked Bryan to rehearse with Ronin while she was busy with her laptop.Bryan wanted to ask, but he did not dare. He could only do as Catherine commanded.Several times of rehearsals later, he and Ronin lined up the rhythms.Ronin was experienced. He even drummed harder at some point to cover Bryan's weakness."Take a break."Hearing Catherine's words, Bryan and Ronin stopped."Boss, I'll get some water."Bryan saw the bottled water in the front of the truck, so he jumped down from the stage to get some.The moment he left, Ronin leaned closer to Catherine."Boss, h
