Charles' eyebrows furrowed slightly as he glanced sidelong at her, "What did you call me?"Maria stuck out her small, lilac tongue, her fair face reddening even more. Her voice was shy, almost as faint as a mosquito's, "Husband.""Heh..."Only then did a satisfied chuckle escape from Charles, "Yes, I didn't want to come here originally. But William said he would invite four judges and allow each of them to bring a student. I thought David would definitely bring you, so I agreed."At this time, everyone began to take their seats. The girls, who were supposed to be here for the judges, directed their gazes at Maria, who was holding her ears and whispering to the boss, full of jealousy and distaste.Before, Maria and David were exchanging flirtatious looks. Now, Maria is chatting intimately with the boss. How could this not make them jealous and disgusted?People are such creatures, unable to bear the sight of others doing well, especially when they can't do the things that others can.F
The dinner table was a long rectangular shape. Lucy, dressed in a rather provocative way, bent down like she was holding a wine glass, revealing her most attractive features in front of Charles' eyes.Linda was drinking juice, and seeing what Lucy was doing, she spurted out a mouthful of juice in surprise.God!This was too open!Although she knew that people from many countries were more open than those from China, but this was really too much!This was simply a blatant seduction!Maria’s amber eyes widened instantly. Her mind was blank at that moment, only the sight in front of her was visible.This was too shocking!All her life, she had never seen such a shocking scene!Her chopsticks fell from her hand with a "snap". She felt her nose heat up, almost spraying a nosebleed.Charles heard the chopsticks falling, and his relaxed brow instantly furrowed. Ignoring Lucy completely, he turned to pick up Maria’s fallen chopsticks. He took out two tissues and carefully wiped them before ha
When several people were toasting to Charles, he remained seated, standing only when he saw someone approaching. David paused for a moment, feeling flattered and surprised, and broke into a smile. "You don't need to get up," he said."No problem," Charles said, picking up his wine glass and clinking it against David's. He then turned his gaze to Maria."I have to admit," he said, "I heard Maria play the piano a long time ago, and I was deeply moved by her music. She's a genius pianist with an unbelievable talent. I know she's part of your team, and I hope you'll take good care of her in the future."This revelation stunned not only David, but also the other judges and girls present. They finally understood why Charles was so kind to Maria. It turned out he was a fan of hers!Lucy and Rivata felt a pang of jealousy.Even Alice felt a pang of emotion. They were all highly accomplished pianists and each was considered a genius by their home country. Did they fall short of Maria?They be
Given that each mansion housed twenty-five people, it wasn't possible for everyone to have a room to themselves. Basically, four or five people shared a room. Only those who received the pass card had the privilege of a single room. Maria was one of them, so she could invite Linda to stay with her.Even though Lucy was also invited to dinner by the judges today, she hadn't received a pass card. She had to share a room with a few other girls.When she got back, thinking of Maria intentionally showing off in front of Charles, she felt quite annoyed. As soon as she entered the room, the other girls rushed over to her."Lucy, what did the teacher want from you today? Why are you coming back so late?"Though Lucy had endured quite a bit at dinner, her vanity was satisfied having privileges that these girls didn't.Brushing her long hair off her shoulder, she laughed smugly, "Oh, nothing much, William had invited a boss for dinner, and I was asked to accompany them.""Oh, my! The boss!?"
Even though the wound on Maria’s left hand had scabbed over and the scab was about to fall off, she insisted on applying medicine every day. Due to her inconvenience, Linda helped her, so they arrived at the training camp quite late.As soon as they walked in, they felt that the glances of the others were not right. Yesterday, everyone was grouped in pairs, but today all of them gathered together, including the members of Maria’s group.After walking a few steps, Maria and Linda discovered the problem - it seemed like they had been singled out by everyone else."What's going on?" Linda asked, supporting Maria with her left hand and looking at the others.When she looked at them, they didn't avoid her gaze. In fact, most of them gave her looks of disdain."What on earth..." Linda was at a loss, "When did we offend everyone?"Maria responded coolly with a light laugh, "I'm afraid everyone already knows about what happened last night?""Last night?"It didn't take long for Linda to reme
The moment the girl heard this, she was irate, but also somewhat guilty. She indeed was sitting next to the piano playing on her phone, but this did not mean that Maria could threaten her!"I got here first. I trained till I'm exhausted. Is it a crime to rest for a while?"Linda would naturally not give her a chance to force a quarrel. "Then is it right for us to practice while you are resting?""No."The girl hummed triumphantly, "I just need to rest a bit, I'll be training soon."Maria didn't want to cause trouble on other people's ground, but that doesn't mean she has a good temper.Her brown eyes stared coldly at the girl's smug face, her gaze deepening, "Fine, then you continue training, we'll just wait here!" "Hey!"The girl angrily stood up, pointed towards the door, "All of you out! If you don't leave, I can't calm down to practice piano!""Why should we leave?"Maria sneered, looked around the room, "It seems that there are no rules here saying that others can't enter when s
At this moment, a loud shout came from outside the door, "What on earth are you guys doing!? Why are so many of you surrounding here?"The girls were suddenly frightened and turned their heads towards the door.David was standing there at the doorway, holding a thermos with a cold expression on his face. His normally soft eyes were now filled with rage.Even with all their excitement, these girls would not dare to take action in front of David!They all moved off to the side, some afraid of drawing David's attention even kept hiding behind their pals.But at this time, who would dare to show their face in front of David, everyone wanted to hide from his sight.Sadly, each one of them was clearly seen by David.As the girls huddled on one side, silent, he walked in glaring, thermos in hand. Behind him stood William and Charles.Upon seeing this, William, who was standing nearby, was already breaking out in a cold sweat. He forced a smile and said, "Young Master Smith, my apologies for
The last sentence was like a hammer hitting hard at every girl's heart.Even though the wound on Maria’s hand has completely healed and those scars are almost gone, the deep impression still touched them deeply.Not to mention injuries as severe as on Maria’s hand, every finger is connected to the heart; if a finger is hurt, it can never be as agile as it was before!Maria was able to impress both David and Hamya with just one injured hand, how could it not deeply stimulate their hearts?Even if they have not heard or seen Maria play, for a while, everyone stopped doubting her abilities.David looked at them one by one, in shock at Maria’s left hand, sneered, "I didn't waste all this time in training camp to play with you! I'm here to win! If you all despise Maria so much, then get out! Half of the people always get eliminated in every open competition, and I don't think you will make it very long."At this point, the cold laughter on his face increased, "I have enough with just Maria
