“It's all right,” Arielle called out calmly. “We have completed our rehearsal.”
Arielle pointed toward Trisha's sand painting as she spoke.
From their position on stage, the teachers had a perfect view of Trisha's sand painting.
The goddess in her painting looked so realistic that it felt like she could step out of the sand painting at any moment. Trisha's talented artistic skills further enhanced the painting's beauty.
Amongst the teachers, Marcus was the first to offer his praise. “That is a beautiful painting.
Trish, I'm proud to have you as my goddaughter.”
Hearing his words, the other teachers jolted in shock.
Although they knew that Marcus had a son studying at Maxwell University, they weren't aware of his goddaughter. I can't believe Marcus's goddaughter's attending the freshman party!
“I have a piano at home. If the two of you don't mind the hassle, I can offer you a lift. There, you can rehearse your performance.” One of the teachers who were eager to gain Marcus's favor stepped forward and extended an invitation to both girls.
Arielle rejected his offer with a shake of her head. “It's all right. We can perform tomorrow without any more rehearsals.”
The teacher was stunned by Arielle's response. “Are you sure you don't need a rehearsal?'
“Nope. I am familiar with this piece. I'm confident that I don't need any more practice.” Arielle shook her head again.
“Okay.” The teacher relented. “Then, to compensate for the lack of rehearsals, I'll give you the green light on the proposal you suggested before. Trisha can sit backstage and use the projector to project her painting on the big screen.”
His words caused Trisha's heart to leap with joy as she clutched Arielle's hand in excitement.
On stage, Wendy looked at their clasped hands with simmering jealousy.
