Janet did not deny it. Instead, she flatly replied, “I roughly know how to play the piano.”
Upon hearing that, Abby took a sharp breath. How is that called ‘roughly’? She’s obviously a pro among all pros. She plays as well as Gordon!
At that moment, Sharon and Summer walked into the classroom. When they saw Janet and Abby whispering to each other, they could not help but ask, “What are you guys talking about?”
Without any expression on her face, Janet returned to her seat.
Meanwhile, Abby shrugged and replied, “Nothing much. We were just discussing the second book of Warm Blade by Rose.”
As soon as Sharon heard the name ‘Rose’, she immediately brightened up. “Abby, I didn’t know that you like Rose as well!”
“Yeah.” Abby winked. “Do you like her too?”
At the mention of the author, Rose, other classmates of theirs also joined their conversation.
Sharon quickly loaded the official Twitter page on her phone to show them. “Warm Blade II will start selling in Sandfort City in two days’ time. I’ve already set my alarm to buy dozens of them.”
“What? Dozens of it? It’s arduous to obtain it!”
“Indeed! All my relatives like her books, so they asked me to buy for her.”
“So, it turns out that everyone is a die-hard fan of Rose!”
“I heard that she isn’t planning to earn a cent from it. It’s going to be sold at the base price of 0 bucks.”
“Are you serious! Rose is such a kind person!”
“It’s true! Apart from that, it took her more than half a year to write Warm Blade II. I bet the story will be really interesting! No matter what, I have to get my hands on it.”
“Apart from that, the first 1000 copies will have Rose’s personal autograph!”
“Wow! I have to set my alarm too! I want a copy of the book with her autograph!”
“Haha! Haha! I’ve already set my alarm. I bet that I can get it!” Abby said with a smile. “My first copy of Warm Blade was a gift from Janet.”
“What?” Everyone was surprised to hear that. “The first book of Warm Blade has a limited supply! It’s arduous to even get your hands on one copy.”
Abby felt blessed as she continued, “It’s not just one book. Back then, everyone in our class received one each. They were all given by Janet.”
“That’s right. I also have one copy.” A few of them were from Class F of Star High School and they remembered the incident as well.
With that, the rest of the classmates were instantly jealous.
“Aww! I’m so envious of you!”
“That’s unfair! I’m so envious!”
“How did Janet get her hands on many copies? Do you think she knows that author?”
“No way! Rose is such a mysterious person! How could Janet possibly know her?”
“No matter what, I hope Rose will print more copies this time.”
The more they chatted, the more enthusiastic they became. Soon, everyone was eager for the day to arrive so that they could buy the book.
Sitting in her seat, Hazel quietly listened to the way everyone talked about Janet. She looked sideways at Janet thoughtfully before retracting her glance. No matter how kind she is, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s a liar!
Upon seeing that Hazel quietly sat in her seat, the others thought she was unable to join the conversation. Hence, they walked to her and asked, “Do you like Rose too, Hazel?”
Upon hearing that, she shook her head. “I don’t know her.”
“Oh, if you like her too, I would have offered to buy a copy for you!” A few people smiled at her as they offered their help.
“No—” Hazel shook her head again as if she planned to say that she did not want it. Suddenly, Abby stood up before she passed the copy of ‘Warm Blade’ in her bag to Hazel.
“Read it. I bet you will love it.”
When everyone saw Abby taking out the book, they exclaimed, “My God! You actually brought this book to uni?”
