e at the Music Department was a grand affair as it was one of the schoolâs most significant events.
Everyone who attended was dressed to the nines, except for Yvette, who opted for a more casual look. But even in her laidâback attire, her stunning appearance still drew plenty of attention.
âYvette, you finally made it!â Xander exclaimed in joy upon seeing Yvette. âI was starting to worry youâd bail on us!â
âI wonât,â Yvette replied indifferently, âMr. Bell, remember your promise? Stop bugging me after today, alright?â
Yvette was one to stick to her word as she hated breaking promises.
âOf course, of course.â Xander chuckled with a sly glint in his eyes.
âYvette, I wonât bug you anymore if you still donât feel like transferring to the Music Department even after todayâs piano conference!â
Xander had a sneaky grin. They had invited numerous influential figures for the piano conference, many of whom he knew personally. He was confident that Yvetteâs musical career would soar with his connections.
He simply couldnât fathom Yvette resisting the temptation. After all, she was such a promising talent.
Xander was determined to keep her around Xanderâs smile was radiant. It was a stark contrast to the resentment brewing in Yasminâs heart.
Her heart was filled with envy and hatred as she watched Xander and Yvette converse. Yet, Yasmin concealed it well and approached them with a gentle smile.
âMr. Bell, with you being the organizer of todayâs conference, Iâm sure youâve got your hands full. Let me take care of Yvie, alright?
âI have participated in events like this many times before, so Iâm much more experienced. Iâll make sure sheâs well taken care of!â
Yasminâs words sounded considerate at first. But upon closer inspection, her words implied that Yvette, a country bumpkin, was actually an uncultured swine.
Xander didnât pick up on the subtle undertone. Even so, Yasminâs seemingly understanding demeanor earned her some brownie points in his book âAlright, then Iâll leave Yvette to you. I have other matters to attend to.â
âMy pleasure, Mr. Bell!â, Yasminâs smile faded as soon as Xander left. She reached for Yvetteâs hand, but Yvette skillfully avoided her Yasminâs facade cracked, but she quickly composed herself, though the resentment in her eyes deepened.
âvie, I know youâve just returned from the countryside and havenât participated in such a grand piano conference before, but itâs okay. Iâll teach you.â
Yvette glanced at her indifferently. âNo need. You can get lost now.â
For some reason, Yasmin felt that Yvette had seen through her thoughts. But she immediately dismissed the notion..
It was impossible, after all. She had been discreet. Yvette couldnât have possibly noticed!
With this thought in mind, Yasmin felt somewhat reassured. Her face displayed a hint of grievance as she said, âYvie, I do so mean to me. I just wanted to help you!â
She had deliberately raised her voice to attract the crowdâs attention.
Observing this scene, the onlookers couldnât help but exchange whispers.
âYasmin was just trying to help. How can Yvette be so mean?â
âYeal. Truly, no good deed goes unpunishedâ¦â
Yasminâs eyes gleaned with satisfaction listening to these murmurs, but she maintained a courteous demeanor.
