“Has the company recently recruited a new batch of trainees?”

白

“Yes, why do you ask…” Anna paused, then immediately understood. “Tati, are you planning to…”

“Pick out some good prospects and train them well.”

Tatiana was never one to force things. She was willing to give opportunities to those who were ready to put in the effort, but similarly, she would take back opportunities from those who did not cherish them.

There was no right or wrong in this matter, only choice

Adults must be responsible for their own choices.

Anna instantly cheered up and said, “Great, I’ll go take a look!”

Tatiana was about to continue working; she had several new musical scores that needed refining. She turned her head, looked at the photos again, and her gaze suddenly stopped.

She felt a strange familiarity with the girl in the picture.

She thought hard, then was abruptly startled.

She had seen her at the maid café!

In that back room, being pinned down by the man…

Maybe they just look alike?

She dismissed the thought and put the photos away.

By the time work ended, she had finished refining all the scores and put them into her desk drawer.

In the dead of night, a weak beam of flashlight cut through the silence.

Will was hesitant. “Is this really okay? Tati has been so good to me. If I do this…”

“Will, we aren’t planning to do anything major, just taking an early look. We won’t announce anything externally.”

“But…”

“Will, should we just sit back and do nothing? Watch them find someone else to replace you? What did we do wrong? We just fell in love. There’s nothing wrong with love!”

This sentence convinced Will, and his eyes gradually hardened with determination.

The next day.

Tatiana immediately sensed that something was wrong when she arrived at the office.

Someone had touched her belongings.

She pulled open the drawer; everything was still inside. However, she had a habit of keeping her musical scores slightly staggered, but now they were stacked perfectly straight.

Someone had touched her scores,

Her gaze darkened.

“Tati, I’ve selected a few people. Do you want to come and personally vet them?”

Anna walked into the office, saw Tatiana’s solemn expression, and paused. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’ll come take a look.”

She closed the drawer.

Soon, everyone in the company knew Tati was scouting for newcomers.

With the phenomenal success of the song ‘Break Free,‘ the trainees below were already restless, desperately hoping to be selected by Tati!

Will heard the news, his face turning ugly. He walked directly to her. “Tati, why?”

Her expression was calm. “Why what?”

“Why look for others? Am I not good enough?”

Anna wanted to speak, but seeing Tati’s expression, she remained silent.

“You are indeed not good enough.”

“How am I not good enough?”

Will’s eyes flashed with anger. Though his words were still respectful, the arrogance in his demeanor was unmasked.

Shooting to fame overnight–from a bar singer to Best New Artist, even gaining his own fan base–such a drastic change would cause anyone to lose themselves.

Will was no exception.

He thought he was controlling himself well.

Tatiana saw through him immediately.

“You’ve been drinking, haven’t you? And smoking.”

Will’s face changed. He stubbornly argued, “I haven’t! Shell me if you don’t believe it!”

Indeed, there was no smell of smoke on him.

But she disdained to smell him.

“Your voice has changed.”

Will was about to speak.

“You don’t need to rush to deny or prove anything. I dont care about your private life, but I stressed one point: I dug you out of the bar, bailed you out of the police station, and gave you my generous support, all

for one thing–your voice.”

Will was speechless.

“You can lie, but your voice cannot. Alcohol and cigaretes will damage your vocal cords. I have warned you many times. Clearly, you don’t cherish this opportunity That’s fine, plenty of people do.”

The words were merciless.

Tatiana rarely spoke so harshly.

Will couldn’t utter a single word.

Tatiana narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully, “It’s sill not too late to rein it in.”

She turned and left to see the newcomers.

Anna followed behind, floating a final remark: “If you disappoint Tati, even a god can’t save you.”

Will stood in place, lost in thought for a long time.

Tatiana took some time, selected a few newcomers with good vocal conditions, and gave instructions for their training.

Afterward, she prepared to attend Madam Lindsey’s birthday banquet.

For such a major event, she specially changed into an evening gown and put on light makeup. Just before leaving, she received a call from Jasper.

“I’ll pick you up.”

“You know where I’m going?”

“Mm. I’m downstairs.”

She walked to the balcony and looked down. Sure enough, a familiar Cullinan was parked below.

She hesitated.

“Come down. Riding in my car means you won’t have to park at the main entrance; we can enter through the side gate. Unless you want to be photographed by the media.”

She was startled. “There will be media?”

“You think a banquet that invites me won’t have media attention?”

She couldn’t help but snipe, “Does the arrogant old man know you’re like this?”

“It’s inherited.”

She was left speechless.

“Come down, I’m waiting for you.”
