A Billion Dollar Exchange 89 Come Here This Minute!

Liling's eyes widened as it met the woman's dreadful stare.

"Come here this minute! "

Xin Yong and Liling turned to look at themselves. The woman was looking at their direction so they were a bit confused as to who she was referring to exactly.

"Miss over there, you know yourself and I don't want to repeat myself!"

When Liling heard that, she knew she was the one being addressed. She knew had been talking a minute ago, so it was obviously her.

She took in a deep breath and started walking towards the woman in careful and jittery steps.

"Seems you have something more important to tell us, go on we're all ears. "

The woman blurted out as Liling stood in front of her. Now she was close enough, Liling took a good look at the woman.

She had packed her hair into a ponytail, her eyes were small but fiery. Her face was chiseled like a man's and her...

"Why are you still standing there gaping like a lost sheep? would you immediately tell us what is more important than this training?!!!"

Liling bolted out of her thoughts at the woman's scream.

Xin Yong was right, this woman was scary!!

"Ma'am, I.. I ... I was just.. trying to memorize the lines! "

A quick lie escaped from her lips before she could think about it. She smiled at her brain which had functioned perfectly at the right time.

"Memorizing the lines?, alright then, sing it and don't make me angrier than I am else we would be seeing your back! "

The woman snarled, Liling who just realized the implication of her answer was left mouth opened.

Her hands were visibly shaking, not because she was afraid of not singing well but because she was scared that the woman would still throw her out even if she sang well.

The other trainees were as quiet as a graveyard, no one wanted to face the witch's wrath. They pitied Liling but they couldn't help her.

Liling gazed at her copy, it was Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, she knew the song quite well, so she didn't need to sing looking at the sheet.

Clearing her throat, Liling took in a deep breath and began to sing. She closed her eyes to avoid meeting the witch's glare, just the daggers from her eyes could send you straight to h.e.l.l.

When was through, she hesitatingly opened her eyes and they met a very frosted face. She quickly s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the paper she was holding, her hands quaking lightly.

The large room was quiet for about a minute since no one had said a word. Liling felt like weeping, she couldn't even imagine herself being thrown out on the first day of training.

"Excellent, exceptional!. What's your name princess?"

The frosty looking woman who was glaring at her a second ago broke into a sweet smile.

Liling was caught off guard, it took her some seconds to realize she had been asked a question.

"Me.. .. my name is Lee Liling"

"Did you all listen to that performance? I don't want any group coming out here and singing rubbish, If you can't sing this simple piece, I wonder how you would cope with the tough tasks ahead. "

The woman turned to glare at them, after which she returned to her previous smile.

"Liling, you can return to your seat, you've earned your pa.s.s mark. NEXT!!"

.....

"Liling, you are really lucky!!. Now that scary woman likes you, you would have no problems at all in her training sessions.

Tsk, see the way she scolded out group, I was even afraid she would throw us out!"

Xin Yong who was walking beside Liling exclaimed, they had finished with the session and were going home.

"Xin Yong!, you talk as though I am already a signed artist, this is just the first day of training!! "

Liling giggled and lightly nudged her, Xin Yong laughed too and held her arm playfully.

"Ahh, I know, but isn't it obvious? You would be the first signed artist in X-Entetainment!.

They both laughed but Xin Yong stopped when she heard a loud shriek from Liling.

"Oh my G.o.d!!, Liling I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching were I was going. I'm so sorry! "

Richen who had 'mistakenly' spilled her hot coffee on Liling apologized 'sincerely'.
