“I’d like to take a look backstage, too. Is that okay, Carlos?” Isabella immediately asked eagerly.
Christopher and Rosalie also returned to their senses, realizing they had to keep up with the gossip.
Under the trio’s expectant gazes, Carlos had no choice but to lead them backstage.
There were quite a few waiting rooms of varying sizes with numerous people going in and out. At the sight of Carlos, they all greeted him respectfully.
Technically speaking, all the participants in the performance could be considered as Carlos‘ students since they all attended his classes at the academy. However, there was only one whom he truly favored. It was a student he sincerely believed to be gifted, whom he taught privately and wished to nurture diligently.
Nonetheless, at that moment, Carlos treated everyone equally. He entered each waiting room to offer encouragement and advice.
Isabella and the others casually watched from the doorway.
“I’m only just now seeing what he’s like as a teacher,” Rosalie remarked with a laugh. “It’s impressive that he’s able to give advice to every student.”
“Moreover, he always hits the bullseye. Look at the admiration and excitement in the students‘ eyes. It appears that he’s quite popular,” Christopher added.
From what I observe… it seems Carlos doesn’t have just one student who admires him. That’s understandable. He’s handsome, wealthy, highly skilled, and so gentle. It’s no wonder the students are smitten.
Christopher and Rosalie also felt that her words made sense. However, they could not help feeling that Carlos was rather dense. He was entirely devoted to music, and they feared he might end up alone for the rest of his life.
With Carlos leading the way, they finally reached the last waiting room. However, they heard the sounds of in argument coming from inside before they could even knock on the door.
The order of the performances was determined by drawing lots,” said a female voice, slightly trembling ret resolute. “You can’t-”
Sylvie, do you think you could score extra points by being the last to perform? What a foolish notion. How can you compare to me in terms of vocal talent? I’m Mr. Carlos‘ student, and everything about my erformance has to be perfect. You’re just jealous of me and deliberately trying to sabotage me from aving a grand finale,” Penelope mocked coldly.
Carlos‘ student? Could it be that the person who dares to speak like that is his favorite student?
eeing that Carlos stood halted in his tracks at the doorway, Christopher and Rosalie frantically exchanged lances.
S for Isabella, she was already ranting. What the heck? The person who confessed to Carlos is someone who throws eir weight around? Seems like he doesn’t have a good eye for picking students. Fortunately, they only have a teacher- udent relationship. He must’ve never seen this side of her before. He’s already glowering.
iside the room, Penelope continued to mock Sylvie. “Most of the people in the audience are here

by me, a genius. Do you think anyone will have the patience to stick around for your performance after mine? I’m doing you a favor by letting you switch the order in which we perform. My advice to you is to know your place. I’m not in a good mood today. If I don’t perform well because of you and end up disappointing Mr. Carlos, you’ll have hell to pay!”
What an odious tone. Is that just how she is, or is she intentionally being a bully and taking her anger out on others?
Christopher and Rosalie were also feeling annoyed as they listened and inwardly criticized Carlos‘ poor judgment.
Penelope went on, “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue? Still not willing to admit defeat? Ha, Sylvie, don’t think I’m unaware of your little schemes. Be careful, or I might just expose them all. Let’s see what happens then.”
A short while later, a hoarse female voice echoed from within. “I… I understand.”
“Hmph! At least you know what’s good for you.”
