Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 61

Eddy looked at Shirley with a mixture of melancholy and helplessness. “You do have some talent for the harp, but it’s rather limited. Yet, you’re so confident in yourself. As your mentor, it’s hard for me to constantly discourage you, so I haven’t told you that you played badly.”

Shirley couldn’t believe this was the truth.

Looking gloomy, Shirley gritted her teeth and retorted defiantly, “Mr. Moore, you speak so poorly of me. Are you implying that Ashley plays well? Is she even better than you?”

Eddy’s expression immediately turned stern. He firmly held his cane to thud on the ground and declared, “Of course, she’s better than me! Otherwise, why else would I treat her with such respect?

“How dare you address Ms. Ramos by her name? That’s disrespectful! Apologize to her now!”

In an instant, Shirley’s eyes widened in disbelief. She thought, ‘Apologize to Ashley?

Refer to her as Ms. Ramos?’

Bryce couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter.

He had been worried that Ashley would be bullied, but now, with Eddy’s arrival, Shirley was utterly humiliated.

Among them, Ashley seemed to hold the highest status in the harp circle

there.

Eddy urged Shirley to apologize.

Raising her hand to stop him, Ashley said indifferently, “No need. I won’t stoop to her level.”

Eddy frowned at Shirley, clearly displeased. “Ms. Ramos is being generous by not holding your rudeness against you. Now, you should thank Ms. Ramos!”

Shirley’s eyes widened in disbelief again.

She thought, ‘Not only do I have to apologize to her, but I also have to

thank her?’
