Although she looked calm one surface, she felt triumphant secretly.<\/p>\n<p>She sent a heartfelt invitation: [This Friday, I\u2019ll compete in the piano competition at Clusia Pianists\u2018 Association\u2019s Hall 1. It is held by Liam. Hope you can all come and cheer for me! Thank you!!<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the message was sent out, responses filled with well\u2013wishes started pouring in.<\/p>\n<p>Mandy sent a message: [My darling is the best! No one deserves to be Liam\u2019s top student more than you. Love you, honey\u201c]<\/p>\n<p>Jemma sent a message: [Shirley, you\u2019re amazing! Jeffrey is so lucky to be with you.

I love you, Shirley!]<\/p>\n<p>Shirley looked at the screen filled with messages and smiled confidently.<\/p>\n<p>That afternoon, as soon as the class ended, Zander sat at his seat and waited for Cherise.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Cherise pack up her teaching materials, he came up to her and spoke earnestly, \u201cMs. Leach, you said you\u2019d take me to the internship today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise glanced up at him, picked up her bag, and said, \u201cYeah, let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just as they stepped out of the classroom, Trent approached with a smile, \u201cMs. Leach, is the class over?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise nodded and said, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise glanced at the top of his head and said, \u201cYour hair is growing well\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trent touched his head and said, \u201cThat pills you gave are effective. My hair has been growing like crazy lately. Soon, no one will d<\/p>\n<p>to say that I\u2019m bald.\u201d He smiled and narrowed his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Trent glanced at Zander standing behind Cherise and said to her \u201cPlease take care of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise smiled faintly without saying anything. Then she said to Zander, \u2018Let\u2019s go.\u201d She walked forward.<\/p>\n<p>Zander followed behind her. Trent stopped him and said, \u201cRemember to study hard from her. Do whatever she asks. You\u2019re lucky she\u2019s willing to teach you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you see anything you\u2019re curious about, don\u2019t ask questions. Just do what you need to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, wherever she goes, she attracts attention. Don\u2019t let anyone pick on her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zander nodded and chased after Cherise.<\/p>\n<p>Trent watched them disappear. A trace of satisfaction flashed through his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>In the parking lot, Cherise started her Panamera.<\/p>\n<p>Zander walked up to the car window and knocked.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise rolled down the window, looked up at Zander, and said, \u201cDo you have a car?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>08:19 Sat, Dec \/<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 140<\/p>\n<p>He replied honestly, \u201cYes\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise said, \u201cDrive your car and follow me. My passenger seat only for my boyfriend. She rolled up the window.<\/p>\n<p>Zander was dumbfounded outside the window. He didn\u2019t expect her to be so direct.<\/p>\n<p>Though he felt hurt, he accepted it. Anyone good enough to be her boyfriend must be as exceptional as she was.<\/p>\n<p>Zander drove his Bentley closely behind Cherise\u2019s Panamera<\/p>\n<p>Zander followed Cherise and reached GlobalVision Group, Cherise talked to the security guards, and the security guards allowed them to pass easily. It sparked curiosity in Zander\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p>They drove in smoothly. Cherise drove to the restricted underground level B2 parking lot of GlobalVision Group.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, they stopped in front of a large white door.<\/p>\n<p>As he looked at the white door, more questions filled Zander\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p>Zander saw Cherise get fit of her car. He opened his door and followed her.<\/p>\n<p>Before they reached the door, Crow, with his striking golden hair, came out to greet them.<\/p>\n<p>Crow said, \u201cBoss, you\u2019re here! Hey, who\u2019s the handsome guy behind you?\u201d Crow pointed at Zander behind Cherise.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise glanced at Zander and said tonelessly, \u201cTrent\u2019s grandson. He\u2019s here for an internship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crow nodded, reached out his hand, and said, \u201cIt turns out you\u2019re Trent\u2019s grandson. You\u2019re welcome. I\u2019m Crow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crow\u2019s name sounded familiar to Zander. It seemed that it was a hacker\u2019s name. Zander didn\u2019t think much about it. He reached out his hand and greeted Crow politely, Tm Zander.
