Chapter: 274
Ariana’s eagle eyes were trained on the trainees expressions and body language, as she placed
utmost importance on her initial impressions.
Yet, none of the aspiring artists caught her attention, leaving her feeling disappointed.
She twirled her pen in frustration, gazed upon the bottom of the list, and finally muttered the last name.
“Cole Dixon.”
Impatience was getting the best of Cole as he waited for nearly an hour to be noticed by Ariana. He idly
toyed with his chain decoration and strutted toward her.
Even though he tried to conceal it, a hint of arrogance still lingered on his face.
“Are you done yet?” he asked bluntly, unable to mask his impatience any longer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAriana didn’t look at him but kept writing something on the paper. As Cole stood there, he was certain
that Ariana would choose him. He was confident in his abilities, despite his lack of experience. Besides,
he was the best among these trainees. However, Ariana wasted so much time on the process,
pretending to be professional. No wonder his aunt didn’t like this woman.
Finally, Ariana put down her pen and looked up at Cole. He was strikingly handsome and had the poise
of a seasoned performer, even before his debut.
As she had done before, Ariana nodded and smiled.
Cole sneered disdainfully. He already knew he was the best.
Cole’s face contorted with a sense of entitlement as he boasted, “Let’s go, I’m done with this place.”
The very idea of wasting his time on the “inferior” talents in the room was enough to make him scoff.
Ariana, who had been patiently listening to his condescending remarks, cast a derisive glance his way
and coolly replied, “You can go back in line.”
The room fell silent as the other trainees watched in shock at the exchange. The smug look on Cole’s
face quickly morphed into one of confusion. He looked at Ariana, who had retured to studying the
documents in front of her, and asked incredulously, “What do you mean?”
To his dismay, Ariana’s response was not what he expected. Despite his obvious appeal, she had no
intention of choosing him.
Cole’s laughter rang hollow in the stunned silence of the room as he asked, “You don’t want to choose
me?”
Ariana’s expression remained impassive as she cast a brief glance at Cole. Her silent disapproval was
palpable, sending shivers down his spine. She clearly had no intention of picking him.
Frustrated by his own failure, Cole’s emotions boiled over, and he could no longer contain his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcontempt. He suppressed his voice with an air of superiority and sneered, “Fine, then let’s see what
kind of garbage you can unearth from this pile of rubbish.”
The sound of his chair crashing to the floor echoed throughout the room, and the trainees looked at him
with mixed emotions.
Some were incensed by his words, while others hoped for a chance to impress Ariana and prove their
worth. They all stood up straighter, waiting for Ariana to give them another chance.
Ariana scanned the room with a sharp gaze, her eyes darting from one trainee to the other as she
spoke with an authoritative tone, commanding their attention. “I have reviewed your class schedules
and the content of your daily teachings. Last Friday, your dance teacher taught you a self-made
routine. I want each of you to come forward and perform it. The one who executes it the best will be
chosen.”
The trainees squirmed with discomfort, their faces etched with anxiety. They had neglected their
classes, never expecting their carelessness to come back to bite them.
