Evangeline was on the verge of rising to showcase her prowess to everyone.

The conference room was abuzz when Tarry, at his wit's end, bellowed, " Quiet down, everyone!"

With the room silenced, he pressed on, "Look, I get it. You're all worried, and that's fair. But I've sent Mr. Alex Gordon to fetch Ms. Evangeline, and she'll be here any minute. To iron out this whole mess, I say we give Ms. Evangeline a shot.

"If she nails the gig as our music department's new violin teacher, we'll give her a month to prove herself. If she doesn't wow us, then she's just not cut out for it. Our department isn't a playground for amateurs. If she's not up to the task, she won't stick around, will she?" This middle ground seemed like the best way to tackle the issue at hand.

Everyone bought into the idea, and the meeting rolled onto the next agenda,

item.

Evangeline, upon hearing the plan, did not rush into the room to make her case. Instead, she settled back onto her stool.

A one-month trial? Piece of cake. She was itching to show these talent-blind folks what she was made of.

It was not just about proving herself. As the prized last protege of the legendary violinist Loberni, she had a reputation to uphold!

What Evangeline did not see coming was an unexpected twist.

When Alex rang her up, David, who had come to escort Walter to the office, overheard the call loud and clear.

With Walter tied up in a bigwig international meeting, David did not dare tell him.

Once the meeting wrapped up, David finally got his chance to fill Walter in, but as he stood before his boss, David found himself wavering.

Was he about to talk bad about Evangeline and Alex behind their backs?

"Mr. Walter Gordon, there's something... I'm not sure if I should bring it up."

Walter massaged his forehead, sensing that David was holding back, which was unlike him.

He was tired from the meeting and slightly irked with David, so he cut straight to the chase. "Spit it out if you've got something to say, or just drop it!"

David pulled a wry smile, "Just don't call me a gossip after I tell you, okay?"

He knew Walter's moods could flip like a switch, and it was this unpredictability that made David cautious. He had noticed a shift in Walter's feelings for Evangeline, and he felt compelled to speak up.

"While I was waiting outside during your meeting, I overheard Mr. Alex Gordon on the phone with Ms. Evangeline.

Walter bristled at the name 'Ms. Evangeline', barely listening to the rest, and quickly corrected with a hint of annoyance, "Mrs. Gordon."

Catching on, David got to the heart of the matter, "Mr. Alex Gordon called Mrs. Gordon, saying he wanted to invite her to teach violin at Avalon University's music department."

Walter's demeanor shifted to high alert, his presence so intimidating that David hardly dared to take a deep breath.

"If I'm not wrong, Alex was supposed to be at Avalon University's music department today to give a report, wasn't he?"

He never paid attention to Alex's schedule; the scraps of information he had picked up were snatched from Trey's grumbling over breakfast.

"Yeah, you got it right."

The hum of the car engine filled the air as David started the car professionally, his voice barely above a whisper.

Truth be told, David was scared out of his wits.

Walter's beef with Alex had to be serious.

At this moment, he was in a real pickle. What on earth was he supposed to say if he bumped into Alex? Today's Bonus Offer
