Chapter 46
Emily was unaware of Bianca's inner turmoil.
It was indeed Daniel.
If he was almost here, she couldn't keep him waiting.
"...Sorry, Emily!"
Emily had just left the office when she was almost bumped into bysomeone rushing towards her.
The person quickly apologized, and upon realizing it was Emily, she didnt leave in a hurry.
She even checked Emily from head to toe to make sure she was okaybefore breathing a sigh of relief. "I heard you had a fight with Ms.Chambers and that Bianca and Ronnie were in the office too. I don't knowthe details, but anything involving Bianca is usually bad news. I'm gladyou're okay."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for checking on me!
Emily knew Sophia was a good person, but her immediate concern uponhearing it might involve her made Emily feel a bit strange.
"No need to be formal. Where are you headed? How about I treat you tolunch to calm your nerves? I have something to tell you.'
Sophia waved her hand, not caring at all, and looked at Emily expectantly
Emily knew Sophia was a good person, but her immediate concern uponhearing it might involve her made Emily feel a bit strange.
"No need to be formal. Where are you headed? How about I treat you tolunch to calm your nerves? I have something to tell you.'
Sophia waved her hand, not caring at all, and looked at Emily expectantly
Emily had something to do, so she had to decline. "Sorry, maybe another time I have some things to take care of."
'Alright then!" Sophia looked a bit disappointed.
Seeing Sophia still following her, Emily asked, "You mentioned you hadsomething to tell me. What is it? If you don't mind, you can keep it brief.
Implying she didn't want a long conversation.
Sophia's already bright face lit up with joy. "Actually, I wanted to thankyou. My mentor has been guiding me in painting these past few days, andI've made great progress. Mr, Williams recommended that I participate inthe Canvas of Dreams art exhibition.
Emily remembered the exhibition from her past life.
It was indeed an exhibition for newcomers, but all the participants werevery talented.
Sophia's participation meant she had reached a certain level of skill.
"Congratulations! It's not because of me; it's your talent that got you there.
Emily didn't take credit.
Sophia felt warm inside hearing Emily's affirmation
She then remembered something, and her expression turned serious. "Ithink I saw Bianca's name on the list. But Bianca steals other people'swork, which means she has no real talent. How could she participate?"
"Maybe it's someone with the same name, or I misread it."
Since it was just a quick glance, Sophia became less confident and couldonly guess.
Emily knew Bianca well. She wouldn't miss such an opportunity to gainfame.
So, Sophia probably didn't misread it.
Emily's eyes darkened, and she asked, "Do you know who the organizer isthis time?"
"I do. It's someone named Louis Cox." Sophia, being passionate aboutpainting, had heard of many famous artists.
But Louis was a painting enthusiast who didn't actually paint. Emily raised an eyebrow.
What a coincidence.
Because he was a painting enthusiast, he often visited John. When she wasasked to take on a student, he happened to be there and became curiousabout her skills.
He then became her fan after she painted a piece for him.
Since her rebirth, she hadn't contacted him.
'Alright, you don't need to see me off. Go take care of your business. I'llcontact you another day and introduce you to an old friend!"
Emily suddenly noticed someone peeking at her from the school gate.
When she looked over, the person quickly hid.
Clearly, they were there for her. Emily paused and spoke to Sophia
Sophia didn't doubt her and nodded. After saying goodbye to Emily, sheturned and walked towards the teaching building.
