Chapter 119: The Pianist Under


    Melody''s intimidation, everyone finished another hour of ss peacefully.


    When the ss was over, Melody woke up.


    She had been awake for the entire two days she had been taping variety shows, causing her schedule


    to be disturbed.She could no longer do the things she used to do regrly.


    Seeing that Melody had woken up, Luke immediately took out a box of pastries and a tumbler from his


    backpack and handed it over to her.


    His gestures towards her were deft and natural.


    Anyone that would see him could easily tell that he had been doing this habit for a long time.


    "Boss, have some" uttered Luke as he offered the box of pastries.


    Melody always had low blood sugar issues since she was a child.


    Perhaps it was because she was too beautiful, smart, and powerful that she had some added ws to


    her body, otherwise she would be too perfect.


    And Melody preferred foods that were salty and spicy.


    She disliked sweets and was frequently dizzy as a result of her low blood sugar.


    Luke had been by her side for a long time and had long been used to serving her like this.


    Melody heard Luke''s familiar voice and smelled the fragrance of the pastries.


    She instinctively took the box of pastries and stuffed one into her mouth.


    Luke was d to see Melody eat.


    "Have some fresh lemonade, too, Boss!" he said as he handed over the tumbler.


    Melody took a sip from the tumbler.


    As expected, it was Luke who made the organic lemonade.


    Even the iced French tea that he drank at Mr.David''s house did not taste as good as this.


    When the other students in ss 8 saw Luke serving Melody some food, they were all taken aback.


    Wasn''t it a little too much for him to serve her like a queen? Their ss didn''t need another Melody''s


    servants at all but they seemed to have found one in Luke.


    How could a top student be her personal servant? What kind of background did Melody have? Why


    was everyone so polite to her? Why was everyone following her? Along with the students’ malicious


    looks, Lance also looked scornful.


    However, his displeasure was not directed at Melody, but towards Luke who was beside her.


    Lance couldn''t believe how he didn''t even know that Boss ate pastries and liked to drink lemonade.


    ‘How could Luke know of this? What did he do?’ Lance asked himself.


    Lance had been raised carefully in a family full of love and had never experienced prejudice from


    society, so he couldn''t hide anything about him from anyone.


    Especially when he was with Melody.


    There was nothing to hide from her.


    "Boss, did you and Luke know each other before?" asked Lance.


    As soon as Lance asked Melody, almost every student in ss 8 perked up their ears and listened


    intently.


    There was also a look of anticipation in his eyes which belonged to Luke.


    Lance could not help but ask this time, although he wasn''t sure whether Boss would be upset about it.


    Melody didn''t want to hide it from Lance.


    She nodded and faintly replied, "Yes." when she noticed that Lance was so curious.


    The innocence in Lance''s eyes reminded Melody of Sarah, and it softened her heart making her want


    to exin everything to Lance again.


    "We know each other in the countryside, Lance felt d about Melody''s answer.


    It turned out that Melody and Luke knew each other in the countryside.


    No wonder they seemed sofortable with each other.


    Luke felt happy as well.


    Since the Boss had already said it, Lance had no reason to suspect anything about Luke.

    He was overjoyed that he forgot the tension he had with Lance earlier.


    "When we were in the countryside, I used to be with Boss, and she took good care of me.Get it?"


    Luke proudly uttered.


    Lance didn''t want to ept it.


    His heart would instantly be filled with displeasure whenever he thought about how Luke had known


    Melody before him.


    This time, everyone also became aware of Luke''s background.


    They only assumed he was a brilliant student from a prestigious family, but they were surprised to learn


    that he was from the rural areas and got into this ss purely on the basis of good academic


    performance.


    Students who consistently got the highest grades were often chosen to represent the school in national


    competitions or rankings.


    It was verymon for every school to have one or two of them.


    Some people who originally thought of Luke''s closeness with Melody to be too suspicious gave up the


    idea and actually wanted to just let him be.


    The students calmed down, and everyone returned to their seats.


    The ss leader came back from the teacher''s office with a stack of papers in her hand.


    She immediately stood on the podium and looked at the ss.


    "Students, give me a minute.Listen to me!"


    The ss leader was well-liked in ss 8.


    She was a kind girl who was known for being helpful at school.


    Although she was not as rich as the other students, everyone still had to pay attention to her.


    Everyonezily looked up at her as soon as she started talking.


    The ss leader pushed up the ck-rimmed sses on the bridge of her nose and courteously


    smiled.


    "Students, as you all know, the school anniversary is fast approaching.For Sanguine High''s tenth


    anniversary, the school administration and student government are nning to have a huge


    festival.And with this, every ss must showcase a few performances.Everyone is expected to


    participate in the event and win a good ranking for our ss" she uttered.


    At this point, the ss leader paused and sighed, "Don''t let other students underestimate our ss.We


    all know that we only excel in academics, we have no talent when ites to music or arts!"


    Everyone understood what the ss leader meant.


    As much as ss 8 was known for their good results, they were also known for their arrogance as all


    the top students in the school were in that ss.


    But everyone was so young and bright, so what if the results of ss 8 were good? ss 8 was full of


    nerds.


    They didn''t care about arts and entertainment or sports! Whenever there werepetitions, somebody


    from ss 8 would always be dragged out to represent their ss or their school.


    However, someone was not convinced and shouted directly.


    "ss leader! Who says no one among us knows anything about music? Let Reagan join! Isn''t she


    good at ying the piano? Who knows, she might even get famous around the world soon!"


    "That''s right!"


    A student from the back immediately echoed.


    Reagan remained seated silently in her chair with only a faint smile on her face.She didn''t say anything


    at all, looking too serious and reserved as a true artist should.She started ying the piano at a very


    young age and had been known as a piano genius.


    Her dream was to go to Vienna''s best vocal orchestra to be the chief pianist.


    If that would happen, not only would she be the honor of the Sullivan Family, but the pride of the


    country as well.


    How could a country girl like Melodypare to her? A wild, irrational girl like Melody threatened


    people with her fists because she was used to doing so in the countryside when she was younger.


    ‘What''s so great about her? I bet she''s only good at fighting with people’ Reagan thought.


    The ss leader nodded and turned to Reagan.


    "Reagan, will you do it? I''ll help you out with the registration."


    "Sure," Reagan answered with a courteous nod.


    "Proudly representing this ss and not tarnishing its name is what everyone in ss 8 should do.”


    Saying this, Reagen sounded more like a leader.


    It was such a regret that she was not one.


    But raising yourself and belittling others was a bit overbearing.


    Speaking of tarnishing the name of the ss, was that intended to remind everyone of the giarism


    episode with Melody that made ss 8 the topic of gossip on campus for a year? Reagan truly had a


    knack for humiliating people.


    Although Reagan kept belittling Melody, Melody didn''t react at all.


    Reagan''s verbal attack on Melody was as feeble as a fist hitting cotton, provoking no reaction from


    Melody.


    Since Melody didn''t care about her anyway, she did not even nce at her and just simply let her talk.


    Although the ss already had Reagan to perform, it was still not enough as the school required at


    least five talents per ss.


    Apart from the risk of falling in the rankings, ss 8 would surely be disgraced if they were unable to


    provide 5 talents to represent their ss.


    The ss leader tried her best to persuade the others but to no avail.


    She then thought of begging Lance.


    It was said that Lance was a hundred times better than the ss leader.


    However, Lance had never liked this kind of thing, so he immediately rejected it.


    Butter on, something happened after-school that finally solved the ss leader''s problem.
