Chapter 36 The Newcomers Welcoming Party (Part One)

The next day, Spencer returned to the university as the drillmaster. Needless to say, he attracted many of the girls' attention once more. After several days, the girls realized something. All the drillmasters were strict. Thus, they preferred to have a good-looking one since they were all going to be strict either way.

Meanwhile, Fiona kept fidgeting in her place. As she watched Spencer speak and act grimly, she felt as if he was going to lash out at her any minute.

The horns rung throughout the playground.

After an entire day of military training, Fiona let out a long sigh. Nothing had happened!

"Let's go, Fiona!" Sophia stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "Come on, Ryan's inviting us to dinner tonight!"

Fiona glanced at Spencer, watching him walk towards the gathering area of the drillmasters. She thought, 'Did he hear that?'

"Hurry up!" Without giving her a chance to say anything, Sophia pulled Fiona's hand as they left.

Fiona was a little embarrassed. "Sophia, I don't think it's such a good idea since Ryan's been treating us out to dinner these past few days. You can go by yourself. I'm not going."

"No way! Ryan's only treating us to dinner for your sake. If you don't go, then he won't treat me," Sophia protested. "You should go. This is normal. It's how a boy pursues a girl he likes. Ryan's very rich after all."

Fiona was speechless for a while. Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of Ryan standing not far away. He smiled when he saw Fiona.

How could anyone refuse such a smile? Fiona sighed and smiled back. She seemed to be have been reminded of the fun times they spent the previous day.

"Spencer, look! Isn't that Fiona?" Meanwhile, Eric and Spencer had left together. When Eric saw Fiona, he poked Spencer on the waist. "Look! She's with someone handsome guy."

Raising his head, Spencer replied flatly, "I see."

"Is that it?" Eric prompted. "Are you sure you saw them? What if that guy likes Fiona? Fiona is your..."

With a cold smile, Spencer interrupted, "Did you

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

d was injured. She's at the infirmary now. She probably can't play the piano tonight which means Ryan can't perform either," someone explained.

"We need to find a replacement pianist!" Sophia suggested. "Or maybe Ryan can play alone!"

"The piece is instrumental ensemble so I can't play by myself." Ryan looked at Fiona with a smile. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

"We need to find another pianist!" They then started to discuss among themselves.

"We only have half an hour left before the opening. Where could we possibly find another pianist? Looks like you're from art school. Would you like to go to the department of music and see if they have a pianist?"

"But we can't just choose a random person. We need to find someone who's a suitable match for Ryan too. Otherwise, we'll compromise the quality of the program."

Amidst the chaos, Ryan suddenly asked, "Fiona, do you know how to play the piano?"

Everyone turned to look at Fiona. Startled, she slowly nodded her head and quickly added, "But I'm not that good. I can only play a little."

"What's your piano level?"

"Level

ten," Ryan abruptly said before Fiona could finish her sentence.

"Level ten?!" Sophia immediately pushed her forward. "You should play with Ryan, Fiona."

"What a godsend! Fiona, it really depends on you now! Level ten isn't something just anyone can reach!"
