Chapter 45
“Mr. Xinos! Mr. Xinos! There’s a piano prodigy gaining fame online! You’ll definitely want to take her as the last mentee.”
A middle–aged man in his fifties, dressed in a suit, frowned and retorted, “When did I say I wanted to take the last mentee?”
The boy being scolded, Ethan, immediately blushed and said. “That’s how it’s being spread online, and they even said you were interested in taking Elise Johansson as the last mentee.”
“Who is Elise?” Jovani furrowed his brows even tighter, with pronounced crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes.
Hearing that, Ethan was speechless.
Previously, the online rumors were so sensational that if he had not often been by Jovani’s side, Ethan would have almost believed that the former really intended to take Elise as his mentee
Now it turned out that Jovani did not even know her name.
Well, the old man had always been a peculiar person. “Should I remind him” Ethan asked inwardly.
Ethan scratched his head. “But… You praised her during the piano competition before.”
“Praised?” Jovani’s brows were practically twisted into knots.
Ethan answered, “Yes. Your exact words were ‘not bad”
Although the word “not bad could not be considered praise in the traditional sense, it was actually a rare positive comment from the naturally sharp–tongued Jovani
Jovani stroked his heard as if pondering deeply.
Half a minute later, he slapped his thigh-
Of course, it was Ethan’s thigh.
As Ethan bit his lips in pain. Jovani shouted, “I remember now! I did say it was not bad that day. But what I meant was that the piano she played was ‘not bad, not her performance.”
Ethan was tongue–tied upon hearing what Jovani said and thought, “But sir, do you know how big of a misunderstanding was caused online because of the two words you said?”
It was said that Elise had already received an invitation from the International Piano Association because of the title of Jovani’s last mentee.
That was so awkward…
Once again, Ethan thought of the girl playing piano on his phone.
If Jovani really wanted to take a mentee, he would rather it be her
After all, she played the piano much better than the excessively praised Elise.
Ethan had no choice but to ask, “Mr. Jovani Xinos, why don’t you listen to the video of that girl playing the piano that’s currently being wildly circulated on the internet?
“Listen? Why should I listen?” Jovani shouted and glared fiercely at Ethan.
“Playing the piano is a form of art. It’s art! Do you understand? won’t even spare a glance for these attention–seeking

performances uploaded online!”
As soon as he said that, Jovani grabbed his hair and walked away!
Lately, Jovani was facing a bottleneck, and his temper was worsening.
However, if he did not watch the video now, would he really not regret it later?
It was Monday,
The night before, Miranda said the results of the second mock test were out and reminded Samantha to go to school on that day.
The weather was slightly chilly.
Samantha was clad in a snug denim jacket. She was also wearing baseball cap.
The black jeans made her legs look long and slender.
She looked quite stylish.
Xavion dropped Samantha at the entrance of Eureka High School, watching her figure as she entered.
He could not help but feel that his cousin was genuinely stunning.
Xavión wondered what kind of man would be worthy of her.
On the other side, Samantha lowered her cap and walked slowly into the campus.
However, many people still recognized her.
But this time, it was not the surprised, curious, and appreciative gaze.
Instead, it was filled with disdain, disgust, and even… Repulsion and aversion.
