Chapter 28 They Were Also Students of St Rona Academy A few days passed quickly, and it was soon time for St. Rona Academyâs school festival.
The campus was bustling with activity, as various clubs showcased their projects, and the whole campus was filled with noise and excitement.
Olivia and Isabella had arrived carly at the backstage makeup room.
Compared to the spacious and luxurious makeup rooms allocated to other students, Olivia and Isabellaâs room was originally a storage room still cluttered with mops and buckets.
âLivi, Iâm a bit nervous... Yesterday Mr. Sebastian said he wanted to take me as his apprentice and that he would be here to watch our performance today...â Isabella, sitting on a chair, was sweating nervously.
âDonât be nervous. Iâll do your makeup first.â Olivia wasnât surprised at all by Sebastianâs offer to take Isabella as an apprentice.
In her previous life, Olivia had spent years at the Wilson familyâs estate, isolated from the outside world.
Although she hadnât managed to capture Alexanderâs heart, she had learned many miscellaneous skills.
Olivia pinched Isabellaâs delicate face. âSo tender.â
Isabellaâs face flushed red at Oliviaâs teasing.
âLivi, youâre acting like a rogue now.â
Olivia raised an eyebrow. âActing like? I am one.â
Isabella was speechless.
1/3 31 Wed, Chapter 28 They Were Also Students of St Rona Academy Livi had changed! Or perhaps it was her true nature showing?
Finished As Olivia was doing Isabellaâs makeup voice filled with disgust suddenly came from outside the makeup room.
âYouâre also a student of St. Rona Academy?â
Outside the makeup room, Lily and her group had just passed by. They were stunned when they saw Olivia and Isabella inside.
Recalling how Olivia had embarrassed her in public at Carlos Harmonies, Lilyâs expression turned cold.
âHow could the school allow people like you to participate in the performance?â
Olivia tilted her head slightly, and just as Lily was about to speak again, Olivia suddenly grabbed a nearby bottle of water and threw it at the half- open door!
The loud bang startled Lily.
âWhat are you doing?â
Olivia crossed her arms and spoke calmly.
âSt. Rona Academy is so grand, yet it has flies buzzing around, making a racket.â
âWho are you calling a fly?â Lily reached out, intending to tear Oliviaâs mouth apart.
The two girls accompanying Lily hurriedly stopped her.
âLil, why waste time arguing with these two trash? I heard Mr. Sebastian is also attending the performance today, one girl said.
âMr. Sebastian is such a figure, coming specifically to watch your nerformance Why waste time on neople who arenât worth it?â
2/3 Chapter 28 They Were Also Students of St Rona Academy Lilyâs expression immediately softened upon hearing this.
Lily is Sebastianâs apprentice? Olivia felt something was off.
Finished As far as she knew, in her previous life aside from the intention to take Isabella as his apprentice, Sebastian only had one nominal apprentice.
A suspicion arose in Oliviaâs mind.
âAre you an apprentice of Sebastian? I bet itâs just nominal.â Olivia probed.
Upon hearing the term ânominal,â Lilyâs face turned unpleasant, but she soon sneered.
âNominal? Even if itâs nominal, heâs still my teacher. He had never come when the academy invited him in previous years, but this year, he came just to watch me perform. What else could it be?â
Lily glanced at Olivia with contempt and said, âSuch matters are beyond your understanding, commoners. Masters always start with nominal apprenticeships before officially taking on students.â
Oliviaâs eyes narrowed slightly.
The person who had destroyed Isabellaâs hands in her previous life had been found!
âTo watch your performance? I doubt that,â Olivia said slowly, touching Isabellaâs little face.
