Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 161

"Kade, have you been taking private gigs on the side? I just asked around—you've been coming in late for more than half a week now."

At these words, everyone fell silent, turning to look at Kade in shock.

The orchestra offered such good benefits—why would she need to take on private gigs?

Kade was taken aback, and she instinctively wanted to lie her way out of it. But before she could, Serena walked over unhurriedly.

"Your client's last name is Smith."

Kade had a thousand excuses lined up, but not a single word came out.

How did she know?

This woman had already stolen her concert solo, put her on a two-week probation where she couldn't perform, and now she had even exposed her side gigs!

Furious, Kade exploded. "You investigated me! You're trying to push me out so you can take my spot, aren't you?"

Serena didn't expect such an intense reaction. However, she remained calm and composed.

"Looks like there's solid evidence of your side gigs. If you really want to keep your place in the orchestra, then don't break the rules."

With that, Serena stepped aside—she wasn't part of the orchestra, so she left it to Ruth.

Only then did Kade realize what she had just blurted out. "Ruth, I wasn't—"

"No need to explain." Ruth cut her off, then decisively ordered, "Kade, as of today, you're fired. Someone will handle the paperwork for you."

She then instructed someone to open the door and turned back to the others, clapping her hands together. "Now that everyone's here, let's begin today's practice as usual."

The sound of instruments soon filled the room. No one spared Kade another glance.

She gritted her teeth, stomped her foot in frustration, and stormed out.

Serena, on the other hand, liked Ruth's decisive attitude. Then, she found a seat and settled in.
