Although he had lived a long life and experienced many things, he ignored her hints and continued to ramble on, “Didn’t you notice anything different about my office?” Bonnie had noticed it when she entered. After all, he had renovated it to her favorite style.

The woman was Russell's wife, Elliana. She supported herself with a cane as she entered, saying, “Why do you always bug Bonnie about taking over your position, you old fart? Anyone else can take over. Why do you have to bug her incessantly?” Bonnie nodded. “Elliana’s right. Plenty of other people can take over as the university president. | think the vice president will do a fine job.” “Listen to her, dear. She doesn’t want to be the university president. Maybe you should stop pushing her,” Elliana turned to grin at Bonnie, saying warmly, “You should take over my position as the president of the Pyralian Pianists Association. You're the only one who's qualified for it.” Bonnie was speechless. She depended on Elliana to pull her out of the pinch. However, the older woman cwith an agenda.
Russell said, “You have a handful of suitable apprentices for that. They're top-notch pianists in the music industry, too. What about Coleman? Everyone regards him as a piano virtuoso.

Must | remind you that she didn’t leave until you brought that up? How's it my fault?” Elliana said confidently, “That's a load of horseshit. | can tell Bonnie intended to take over my position as the association’s president.” The older man grew exasperated, rolling his eyes at his wife. He said, “Age has finally caught up to you and messed up your brain. How are you so confident in that statement?” “We're both ladies. It takes one to know one. You wouldn't understand.” Russell was speechless while his wife continued, “I'll ask Coleman to seduce her just in case. Bonnie will becpresident of the Pyralian Pianists Association. I'll make sure of it,” Later, Russell texted Bonnie his wife's plot, “I have a secret for you. Elliana plans to make Coleman seduce you and coerce you into taking over her position. Watch your back and be wary if she passes you food or drinks.
“I was a victim of one of her plots when | was young. | drank the red wine she gaveand ended up sleeping with her. Then, she got pregnant with my child, and | married and ended up sleeping with her. Then, her.
Bonnie was astonished when she read the text. She never expected an authoritative figure in the education industry and the big wig in the music industry to share such a whimsical history.
