Chapter 140: Chapter 142

“Yvie, you must be tired after all that standing! Come, sit down and drink this,”

said with a smile.

Arching an eyebrow, Yvette remarked “You sure put on quite the act as the president of the Pianists Association.”

Gabriel’s eyes darted with . He thought he had finally had the chance to flaunt his authority as the president, but he hadn’t anticipated that Yvette would catch him in the act.

“Yvie, can’t I at least exercise my authority as the president in public? If you really dislike it, I won’t do it again!” he pleaded pitifully.

Not truly concemed about such trivial matters Yvette replied indifferently, “Do as you please. Just don’t overdo it.”

“Without a doubt! You know I was just putting on an act, Yvie,” Gabriel smiled even more ingratiatingly.

Anyway, I heard from Matt that you’re studying at Jubilife University, so I accepted the Music Department’s invitation, thinking I could visit you after event. I didn’t expect to bump into you here! Who could have thought you’d attend such an event?”

Gabriel was indeed surprised to see Yvette there. After all, their association had been trying to persuade her to attend events, but none of their attempts had succeeded.

Yvette blinked and replied honestly, “Mr. Bell was too persistent.”

Gabriel stood dumbfounded. He knew Yvette wouldn’t have voluntarily participated in the event, given her laid–back personality.

“So, did you spot any promising talent for the Pianists Association this year?” Yvette asked..

Gabriel nodded and replied, “

, we have. The young lady from the Murray family, Yasmin Murray, out among the candidates. She’s quite promising overall so we’re thinking about recruiting her-

“Yasmin Murray?” Yvette repeated the name, her eyes narrowing.

“Do you know her?” Gabriel asked curiously.

“Uh–huh,” Yvette

Yvette nodded.

“In that , all the more reason to recruit her then!” Gabriel smiled happily.

“Are you sure?” Yvette shot a cold glance at him, sending a chill down Gabriel’s spine.

Adhering to his instinct, Gabriel quickly shook his head and said, “M–Maybe not! We should definitely reconsider inviting her to the association!”

Satisfied with his response, Yvette relaxed her icy gaze and retrieved the milk Wilson had prepared from her bag, taking a casual sip. “vie, did that Yasmin offend you ” Gabriel cautiously asked.

Yvette nodded firmly. “

, I don’t like her.

Gabriel promptly adopted serious expression and declared, “Then I’ll remove her from our candidate list !” Anyone who crossed their little devil was crossing the Pianists Association!
