Chapter 400

After her classes, Mia’s counselor approached her. “Mia, there’s a music festival happening at school

next week, and the school is invested in it. It’s a great chance to tie it in with our previous design. I

suggested your design be used for the festival. Think you can handle it?”

“Of course,” Mia replied confidently.

She was looking forward to attending the music festival. Being in charge of the venue’s design meant.

she would have a prime spot to enjoy the festivities.

“Here’s the key to the auditorium. Take a look around. Don’t hesitate to bring up any ideas or requests

you might have. The school will accommodate your design as much as possible. We want to impress

the team coming in and help the seniors get into their team.”

“Got it, I’ll give it my all.” Mia nodded.

Since she was representing the school, she was determined to create a stellar setup for the music

festival.

“Mia, I’ve heard the head of the visiting team can be a bit demanding. If they give you a hard time, just

roll

with it,” the counselor advised.

“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind,” Mia replied.

With the key in hand, Mia headed straight to the auditorium to inspect the space.

However, she hadn’t been inside for long when a group of outsiders arrived. Judging by their clothes,

they were clearly not affiliated with the school.

“Tsk, so this is the auditorium. It’s pretty spacious, but kind of run–down.”

“I have no idea what the boss was thinking. Why did they suddenly decide to have us attend this

school’s

music festival? It’s bizarre.”

Mia overheard their conversation and immediately had an idea of how that team was.

She considered slipping away through the nearby emergency exit. But on her way out, she accidentally

bumped into a trash can and created a noise.

“Who’s there?”

“Hey, we saw someone over there. Were you eavesdropping on us?”

Knowing she couldn’t hide, Mia took a deep breath and stepped out from her hiding spot.

In an instant, Mia recognized a familiar face in the group–Maya.

Maya’s appearance surprised Mia. Why was she here?

In fact, Mia hadn’t seen Maya in a long time, not even during this school project. Maya had only made a

brief appearance on the first day and hadn’t been seen since.

Later, Mia heard that Maya had returned to Nord City.

A man in a floral shirt frowned at Mia. “Are you a paparazzi trying to sneak a picture of us?”

Mia calmly explained, “I’m not a paparazzi. I’m a student here, and I’m in charge of designing the setup

for the auditorium for the music festival.”

Maya smirked. “Anthony, she’s not a paparazzi. She won first place in the Fleur International Design

Competition last time. Everything should go smoothly with her in charge.

“She’s just a country bumpkin. What’s the big deal with winning an award? Our music team is one of

the best in the world and only performs in top–notch venues. But with this auditorium, it’ll only bring

down our standards. The others will think we’re only fit to perform on a college campus.” Maya chided.

Hearing this, Mia noted that the team was indeed a tough bunch to deal with. But she also couldn’t

deny

the fact that they were world–class.

Mia forced a kind smile. “Mr. Jenkin, do you have any requests for the setup?”

He asked, “Can you play the piano?”

Maya sneered. “She’s just an orphan from the countryside. She a piano in her

life.”
