Chapter 133<\/p>\n
Madeline beamed with joy as she replied, \u201cMs. Leach, you remember my name? That\u2019s wonderful! I thought you\u2019d dislike me after I questioned you like that in the first class.<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled softly. \u201cOf course, I remember all my students After speaking, she glanced at the piano behind Madeline and casually asked, \u201cHave you considered signing up for Llain\u2019s piano selection competition?\u201d<\/p>\n
Madeline looked surprised. \u201cHuh? Me!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded.<\/p>\n
I<\/p>\n
Madeline felt a thrill of happiness at Cherise\u2019s recognition but soon sighed. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can. I don\u2019t have any certifications or awards, so I\u2019d probably get kicked out in the first round of selection.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, there are so many good pianists out there. I don\u2019t stand a chance,\u201d Madeline shrugged as if she didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Cherise spoke gently, \u201cHow will you know if you don\u2019t try? Besides, you really play quite well.<\/p>\n
Madeline\u2019s eyes lit up. \u201cReally? Do you really think so?<\/p>\n
\u201cI do like playing the piano, but my parents want me to be a doctor, so I haven\u2019t studied piano formally. I don\u2019t even know if Fm any good.<\/p>\n
\u201cLater, when people ask, I can at least say I participated in the Clusia Pianists\u2018 Association\u2019s selection process. Even if I get eliminated in the first round,\u201d Madeline laughed.<\/p>\n
Cherise looked at the optimistic Madeline with a warm smile. \u201cGo ahead and sign up. You\u2019ve got this!\u201d<\/p>\n
Madeline nodded excitedly, said goodbye to Cherise, and then dashed back to her dorm to log in and register for the competition.<\/p>\n
As soon as Madeline left, Cherise took out her phone and sent a message: [Keep an eye on a contestant named Madeline. She\u2019s got potential.]<\/p>\n
The other party replied almost instantly: [Noted.]<\/p>\n
Just as Cherise was about to put her phone away, Xenia\u2019s call came through. \u201cHey, Xenia, are you back?\u201d Cherise started.<\/p>\n
Hearing Cherise\u2019s voice, Xenia exclaimed, \u201cYes, I\u2019m back, Cherisel The anime convention is finally over, and I just got back to Betrico. But I still have a few things to handle. I miss you so much!\u201d<\/p>\n
Only then did Xenia remember why she\u2019d called. \u201cOh right, listen to me. I was so happy to hear your voice, I almost forgot!<\/p>\n
\u201cMy uncle just called to say Dora is drinking at Ebb & Flow and seems to be in a bad mood. Do you know what\u2019s going on with her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise paused for a moment before replying, \u201cNo worries. I\u2019ll go check on her<\/p>\n
\u2013<\/p>\n
Flow by the bar, Dora wore a fitted, rose\u2013red mid\u2013length dress that highlighted her curves. Her chic, short hair and<\/p>\n

She sat gracefully on a high stool, revealing a glimpse of her smooth, delicate calf. With a specially crafted cocktail in hand. she took one sip after another, looking somewhat lost.<\/p>\n
Men passing by couldn\u2019t help but stop, tempted to approach the seductive beauty, but each was blocked by Truman, who<\/p>\n
stood beside her.<\/p>\n
heart?\u201d<\/p>\n
The bartender glanced at Truman next to her. \u201cBoss, should I\u2026<\/p>\n
Truman tapped his fingers on the bar counter. \u201cJust bring her a glass.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dora objected, \u201cA whole bottle. I can afford it. I\u2019ve got more money than I could ever spend in a lifetime. Are you worried I can\u2019t pay?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this. Truman took the whiskey from the bartender and placed it in front of Dora. \u201cMs. Xenakis, alcohol can numb the mind and dull the pain, but it\u2019s only temporary.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re really heartbroken, let me tell you, it\u2019s not worth it, because when you sober up the next day, you\u2019ll realize that person still isn\u2019t there, and all that remains is your own loneliness.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing Dora unmoved, Truman shook his head and walked over to a quiet corner. He dialed Xenia\u2019s number again. When she answered, he said, \u201cXenia, where are you? I can\u2019t stop<\/p>\n
her!<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m tied up here and can\u2019t get away. Cherise should be arriving soon, Xenia replied on the other end of the line.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? Cherise is coming? Why didn\u2019t you tell me sooner? Truman instantly tensed up upon learning that Cherise was coming, then hung up immediately.<\/p>\n
He rushed to the service desk, put on a headset, and announced over the intercom to all the Ebb & Flow staff, \u201cCode Red! Code Red! Clear out all customers except the lady at the bar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe lady who performed on stage last time will be arriving soon Attention, all staff, especially new employees.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake sure not to give that lady\u2013the most beautiful one here any drinks or food containing alcohol, including rum balls or liquor chocolates. Confirm receipt, please. Confirm receipt!\u201d<\/p>\n
