Because the explanation was not finished, Professor Gilbert then continued his previous explanation in more detail. He began with the division of tasks that each student from each department would receive in the annual event. All students returned their focus on Professor Gilbert's explanation in front of the class. However, Edward was still out of focus. He was still stealing glances at Anne while playing with his notebook.

"Main pianist Edward Cole," said Professor Gilbert aloud. ​​

"Isabel and Gabriella will be the main characters in this show, so I hope both of you could make a good cooperation," added Professor Gilbert again, actually the beauty of the two girls was not commensurate with Anne. However, Anne's popularity was still far from both Isabel and Gabriella because she was someone who did not get along well with many students.

Professor Gilbert then continued with the names of students who would be responsible for their respective tasks. In the end, Anne did not get any role since she did not include other skills in the student data list when she made her first registration. She was assigned to be a backstage crew with several other students who were in charge of arranging the players' wardrobes or costumes. However, she was happy enough to be assigned to that role. Sadly, Anne's teammates objected to the role assigned to them because they thought that being the backstage crew would automatically erase their chance to directly meet with the big company officials who were the guests of honor. And their chances of getting a promotion were much smaller than the people who performed on the stage.

After 2 hours, Professor Gilbert finished running the class for the day and the break bell rang. Professor Gilbert ended his class after he finished distributing a list of names of players who will contribute to the annual event. Anne only had to wait for the task given by the other teams to prepare costumes and other equipment because she did not get a role at all.

"I hate you, Anne," said Linda suddenly.

"What did I do wrong?" asked Anne quickly as she put her book in her bag.

"Why don't you participate in this event, why do you have to be the backstage crew? You should show off your talent on the stage," Linda replied quickly.

"Why do I have to participate in a show when there are so many great people who can do it? People with no talent like me are not needed in an event like that, Linda," said Anne quickly with a smile.

"I hate you," Linda snorted irritably.

"Don't be angry Linda, this is good for you. You have to get used to appearing in public to meet lots of people. That way you will get used to it and not get into trouble in the future. Just imagine you will become a famous fashion designer throughout the world, so just think of this as your practice Linda," said Anne softly trying to calm Linda who got the role of the evil stepmother.

"Then what about you, if I got the chance to perform and learn to nurture my self-confidence, what about you? Aren't you also in the same department as me?" asked Linda in a rising voice.

Because Linda's voice was loud, almost everyone who was still in the class could hear Linda's words. They immediately turned to Linda who was standing on her hips while staring at Anne. Edward who had not yet come out of the classroom was also turning his attention toward Linda and Anne.

"Fortune, partner and death were predestined by God while humans were still in their mother's womb. So you don't have to worry about that, Linda. Even if I don't get that chance right now, I'm sure there will be another way that will lead me there. So you don't have to think about me. This is your chance to show your best ability, so you better think about how to perform well later," replied Anne with a smile.

"But Anne…,"

"Come on, let's go to the canteen, I'm hungry," said Anne quickly interrupting Linda's words.

Linda finally gave in and followed Anne's steps to the cafeteria, even though she was still annoyed at Anne for not getting a role in the final performance of the semester.

Edward was silent while sitting on his chair after hearing the conversation between Anne and Linda. At first, he was very happy to get the main position as a piano player in the annual show, which means that he will become a star in the event that will be held by UAL. But he suddenly became disinterested when he found out that Anne did not get a role in the show.

Meanwhile, in his office, Aaron kept smiling while staring at the watch on his left hand, even though he was currently having an important meeting with several other staff.

"Sir, please focus your attention on the meeting, don't daydreaming like that. You scare a lot of people," said Daniel quietly as he stepped on Aaron's feet who were sitting next to him.

"It hurts, don't you know how expensive my shoes are, Daniel?" Aaron replied coldly.

"Then keep your focus, stop smiling randomly like a crazy person. You worry all of us if you keep smiling without any specific reason like that in a serious meeting like this," said Daniel quickly.

Hearing Daniel's words made Aaron immediately realize that he was currently the center of attention of his subordinates, he returned to focus on listening to the explanation from the chief sales manager who was giving a presentation in front of everyone.

"You distract me a lot, Anne, you have to pay for it, tonight," said Aaron to himself.
