The spacious and bright office was decorated in simple black and white tones, much like its owner.
Behind the desk sat a man dressed in an Armani suit, with the top button of his shirt fastened all the way up to give him a chaste appearance.
In front of him lay a stack of files and contracts. When his secretary came in to retrieve some documents, she couldn't help but steal a few more glances at her handsome boss who looked like he belonged on Mount Olympus.
"Have you seen enough?" Without lifting his head, the man said with an icy voice made her jump with fright.
Her face turned red as she stammered out an excuse, "Mr. Foley, I'm here to pick up yesterday's contract."
"My company doesn't need any airheads. Go get your salary from accounting later."
The beautiful secretary was left stunned, feeling deeply aggrieved and wanting to explain herself, but she dared not provoke him further. She could only hold back her tears and exit the office.
Unaware of her surroundings as she walked out of the office door, she bumped into someone walking by.
She instinctively looked up and met a man's gentle and refined face. The man was dressed in a deep emerald green suit, a color both profound and noble. It complemented his fair complexion, and his smile exuded warmth. His features bore a faint resemblance to Mr. Foley.
"I'm sorry," she apologized reflexively.
"It's okay," Vincent replied before gracefully entering Kelvin's office...
Meanwhile at the hospital, Cheyenne had been gaining weight during her week-long stay – all thanks to Benson who rented a temporary apartment nearby so he could bring soup over twice daily without fail!
Thankfully, Kate and Reece helped eat some too, or else Cheyenne would have gained even more weight!
Benson shrugged off Cheyenne's concern about weight gain. His clear voice rang in her ears, "Cheyenne, you're too thin. It would be much better if you gained a little weight. When I hold your hand, it feels like holding a cat's paw, and it breaks my heart."
"That's called being slim. By the way, Benson, you're here at the hospital taking care of me every day. What about your Verklee College admissions test?"
Verklee College, located in Mupreyca, is internationally renowned as a top-tier music school. It has produced numerous world-famous musicians, such as the father of symphony, Hoare, the eccentric composer Vera, and the pioneers of modern pop music, the Guild of Rhythm, which has already etched its name into the history books – all of them alumni of this university.
Every year they only accept five students from Chulae due to their strict examination process…
This year, for some reason, the number of spots has dropped to four, meaning that the competition is even more intense.
The rumors said that the reduction in spots seems related to Miss Weaver of the Weaver family.
She too majors in music and plays the piano exceptionally well. At just eight years old, she won numerous awards and her fame rivals that of Benson's.
But three years ago, during an important test, Benson had an unexpected eye injury and withdrew from competition. The champion became Miss Weaver instead.
She was taken on as a disciple by Professor Fiona at Verklee College.
Fiona herself was the lead singer of Guild of Rhythm and when she was young, she used to be a musician employed by Mupreyca Royal Family. Her songs were played at the Queen's birthday parties and parliamentary openings.
