Chapter 42 Jealousy
Chapter 42 Jealousy
"Your Italian is really standard! And you''re so beautiful!" Arthur''s first impression of Ranita was very
good, and he spoke with surprise.
"Thank you for thepliment! I only know a little bit, but if you need anything, just let me know."
Ranita was humble and polite, with a beautiful face. Her micro-expressions were handled very well,
and every smile and frown was just right - she had great charisma.
Ranita''s beauty waspletely different from Shannon''s - Shannon had big eyes, a high nose
bridge and an oval face that belonged to the sweet category. But Ranita had superior bone structure
and her eyebrows and eyes exuded elegance; when she didn''t smile, she looked indifferent but
when she did smile it was like polished gemstones shining brightly.
"Miss Bowman, you don''t have to be modest!" Arthur paused dramatically before eximing, "I
suddenly seem to have inspiration when I see you!"
"Bring me my cello!"
Arthur immediately asked his assistant to bring the cello over for an impromptu performance.
Shannon had a concerting up in a few days'' time which cost her a lot of money tomission
Arthur topose music specifically for it. Therefore, they spent the whole day discussing musical
issues while Ranita dutifully carried out her own tasks.
But these artists never rested or ate once they got busy; Ranita couldn''t leave either so all she
could do was keep preparing herself. She felt hungry and tired but what worried her most was that
her legs were starting to ache because of wearing high heels all day long.
"Miss Murphy, Mr. Semeraro, I''m going to use the restroom." During this lull in activity, Ranita
decided to take advantage of it by taking a break in the bathroom.
Seeing how exhausted Ranita looked, Shannon coldly nced at her stomach - she wished that
she would work herself into exhaustion!
"Mr. Semeraro, you must be tired after today''s activities! I''ve arranged for Cindy to take you to the
hotel for some rest. At the same time, I have dinner prepared in the hotel restaurant. We''ll see you
thereter," Shannon said fluently in English, her tone sweet.
Afterward, Shannon, with anticipation in her voice, recalled Arthur''s impromptu creation earlier and
asked, "I really loved that impromptu performance by you just now. Would it be possible for you to
gift me with a small token of it?"
Because Ranita didn''t trante what Arthur said earlier about his inspirationing from her,
Shannon assumed that it must have been written especially for her which made her heart race with
excitement.
"... Miss Murphy, although it''s a bit embarrassing to admit, I don''t want to lie..." Arthur apologized,
"That was actually written for Miss Bowman! She gave me some interesting inspiration!"
That was an impromptu creation for Ranita?!
Shannon was not only embarrassed, but her face quickly turned red. Fortunately, Arthur''s assistant
came over to smooth things over and Shannon regained herposure. She maintained a smile
and said gracefully, "Mr. Semeraro, you don''t have to apologize! You''ve created several songs
tailored just for me and I''m already satisfied!"

"Cindy, please take Mr. Semeraro to the hotel. I''ll be there in a bit."
Shannon smiled as she watched them leave and then turned around with anger and jealousy in her
eyes as she headed towards the studio.
As Arthur''s group left, the studio became empty.
Shannon made her way to the bathroom door but suddenly stopped in her tracks. She stared at the
dark door with a cold expression on her face.
After a while, Shannon returned holding a bottle of mineral water in hand. She casually opened it up
and poured it out onto the floor by the bathroom door.
Ranita cautiously stepped out of the bathroom.
"Ranita!" Shannon suddenly exploded with anger causing Ranita to startle which made her lose
bnce underfoot causing her body to sway unsteadily as if she was about to fall...
