“This movie—” Maisie was about to open her mouth when an indescribable voice sounded all of a sudden, and her cheeks flushed in an instant!‘Oh my God! Just what movie have I chosen to put on!?’“I, I… I’ll replace it.” She put down the fruit salad and was about to get up, but Nolan pulled her back into his arms, so she sat back down.Nolan stared at her face, which looked as red as a ripe apple, and could not help but burst into laughter. “Were you serious when you invited me to watch this movie with you?”“I’m dead serious...” Maisie felt that her response to the question sounded a little inappropriate and added, “I only planned to watch a movie with you!”“It’s just the two of us now.” Nolan approached her cheek with his lips as his palm rested on her waist. “Don’t you want to do something else?”However, before Maisie could say a thing, he had already sealed her lips with his. And she, who was already thirsty and slightly lustful, felt like a traveler who had just found a wat
Nolan pressed her against his chest and kissed her lips. “Work will never be as important as you are.”Maisie hugged him tightly as she buried her cheeks into his chest and teared up. “I’ll get spoiled if you continue to treat me this well.”“Getting used to all these will only give me an advantage.” He chuckled softly in her ear, wiped her tears with his thumb, and hugged her tightly. “I plan to pamper you to the extent of spoiling you so that I’ll be the only person in this world who can adapt to your way of life after this.“Maisie did not know when the movie ended at all. The only thing she felt was the impact that he brought upon her.After a few more rounds, they cuddled together next to each other’s sweaty bodies, and he was reluctant to withdraw himself from her warm embrace.Maisie stared at the blue roses that were blooming in the courtyard. They looked delicate and warm, just like the love that he had been showing her.“I was lucky to have met you that night ten years
Maisie lowered her eyes. “Then what about the young heir of the Knowles...”Madam Nera sighed. “There’s nothing left of him. Not even his body could be located. What’s more, he’s the only descendant the Knowles have. Although Rick is still young, I don’t think he’ll be able to recover from the pain within a year or two after losing his flesh and blood.”Maisie pursed her lips.‘To be honest, I still can’t accept the death of that child. Nollace was just a young child, but because of Madam Knowles’ selfishness and hatred for the Knowles, the Knowles were devastated, and even Zeta died because of her mission.Maisie sent Madam Nera off after chatting with her for a long time. At this time, Lucy walked up to her and said, “Ms. Vanderbilt, the La Perla Group has sent you some flowers.”“La Perla?” Maisie was stunned. She remembered that La Perla seemed to be the company that belonged to Pearl Santiago’s family.Soul Jewelry had not been in touch with La Perla until now, more or less
Nolan hugged her from behind, and his warm chest could be felt beating against her back. “You were in the room located directly opposite this room three years ago while I was in here.”He buried his face into her neck with a hint of glee flashing across his eyes. “It’s just that you were here to bid on jewelry three years ago. So, we’re here tonight to get you the best jewelry this place has to offer.”The auction kicked off, and the first item displayed on the stage was a South Afrenikan pink diamond worth tens of millions of dollars, and the VIPs started to bid for the diamond.Maisie looked at Nolan, who looked indifferent. It was obvious that he had not come here for the pink diamond. Thus, she wondered what kind of jewelry Nolan planned to give her tonight.Nolan did not even bid for the first few items, so Maisie could not help but lean closer to him. “I’m starting to get curious.”Nolan approached her ear and whispered, “Are you?”She chuckled. “How could I not feel curiou
Nolan hugged her. “So, how will you express your appreciation?”Maisie stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. “This is my favorite gift that I’ve ever received in my life. I’ll definitely keep it for a lifetime.”Nolan kissed her on the forehead and between the eyebrows. “I’m glad as long as you’re happy.”The next day, flowers were in full bloom in the music academy, and the garden in the academy was filled with tender verdures. People were walking in the corridors, and several instructors passed by too.“I heard that Jodie has returned to the academy to be an instructor. But didn’t she major in ballet?”“So what if she majored in ballet? She won an award as a pianist. She won’t be at a disadvantage even when she returns to her alma mater as an instructor.”“It’s said that she and Mr. Lucas were students of the same department, and she was the belle of the solo instrumentation department of the music academy. They would’ve been the perfect couple on campus if they had got t
Ryleigh was startled.Charles walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder. “Ryleigh, we can’t expect others to fight for us. When everyone else is looking down on you, the more you have to prove it to them.”Ryleigh’s confusion was instantly cleared after listening to Charles’s guidance.She smiled, thanked him, and then left his office. “I understand now, thank you.”Looking at her leaving his office, Charles gave off a satisfied grin.In the next few days, Ryleigh brought in a few students from the orchestra department.They obviously looked a little bewildered. “Ms. Hill, why did you summon us here?”Ryleigh looked at the music manuscripts in her hand and laughed. “Let’s start a band!”One of the girls looked even more confused. “A band?”Another girl sighed. “What kind of band can we form? The students from the solo instruments department will surely laugh at us for playing music for a funeral when they see us rehearsing.”“Yeah, thanks to them, we’re often not in the
“However, these music genres emerged only around the 19th to 20th century. We’ve mastered these genres, and that’s something to be proud of, but what are we going to tell the public when classical music is being put forward?”Ryleigh chuckled. “Classical music has been primarily a written tradition since at least the 9th century, spawning a sophisticated notational system ever since. The earliest extant music manuscripts are said to date from the Carolingian Empire that flourished during that era. The Fradianites popularized such symphonies in the 12th century. They stood the test of time during the Renaissance period that took place from the 14th to 17th century and evolved throughout the whole history of humanity.“It’s famous for its high emotional penetration and its pompous, majestic harmonies that give a symphony its dynamics. You’ll run into a gentle caress among waves of rigidity and sometimes a harsh punch in the face among the soft embrace of the symphony. So, you can argue
Ryleigh slapped his hand away and said, “I just can’t stand seeing them like that. Hmph!”Louis pinched her puffed-up cheeks. “If I didn’t come over, were you going to fight them?”Ryleigh looked at him, deep in thought, but didn’t speak. At that moment, a beautiful woman in a long dress stood not far away with a smile on her face. “Lew.”Ryleigh stared at Louis, who had great luck with women. The woman walking over wasn’t as pretty as his ex-girlfriend Xyla but was just as graceful. She could guess who this woman was. She was probably Jodie Smalls that the other instructors had been talking about a few days ago. Xyla was an international supermodel who had a classy grace, while Jodie was a ballet dancer who was demure and elegant, gentle as water.Louis looked at her, then frowned. “Who are you?”Ryleigh turned away and covered her mouth, trying not to laugh. Jodie was probably surprised when Louis didn’t recognize her and paused, feeling a little awkward. “I’m Jodie, don
