Chapter 142


    “Yvie, you must be tired after all that standing! Come, sit down and drink this,” Gabriel 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 guilt. He thought he had finally had the chance to unt 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 epted the Music


    Department’s invitation, thinking I could visit you after the 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 seeded.


    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 herid–back personality.


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


    Gabriel nodded and replied, “Indeed, we have. The youngdy from the Murray family, Yasmin


    Murray, stands 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 case, all the more reason to recruit her then!” Gabriel smiled happily.


    “Are you sure?” Yvette shot a cold nce 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 rxed 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. “Yeah, I don’t like her.”


    Gabriel promptly adopted a serious expression and dered, “Then I’ll remove her from our


    candidate list right away!” Anyone who crossed their little devil was crossing the Pianists


    Association!
