89 Come here this minute! (1/2)

Liling's eyes widened as it met the woman's dreadful stare.

”Come here this minute! ”

Xin Yong and Liling turned to look at themselves. The woman was looking at their direction so they were a bit confused as to who she was referring to exactly.

”Miss over there, you know yourself and I don't want to repeat myself!”

When Liling heard that, she knew she was the one being addressed. She knew had been talking a minute ago, so it was obviously her.

She took in a deep breath and started walking towards the woman in careful and jittery steps.

”Seems you have something more important to tell us, go on we're all ears. ”

The woman blurted out as Liling stood in front of her. Now she was close enough, Liling took a good look at the woman.

She had packed her hair into a ponytail, her eyes were small but fiery. Her face was chiseled like a man's and her...

”Why are you still standing there gaping like a lost sheep? would you immediately tell us what is more important than this training?!!!”

Liling bolted out of her thoughts at the woman's scream.

Xin Yong was right, this woman was scary!!

”Ma'am, I.. I ... I was just.. trying to memorize the lines! ”

A quick lie escaped from her lips before she could think about it. She smiled at her brain which had functioned perfectly at the right time.

”Memorizing the lines?, alright then, sing it and don't make me angrier than I am else we would be seeing your back! ”

The woman snarled, Liling who just realized the implication of her answer was left mouth opened.

Her hands were visibly shaking, not because she was afraid of not singing well but because she was scared that the woman would still throw her out even if she sang well.

The other trainees were as quiet as a graveyard, no one wanted to face the witch's wrath. They pitied Liling but they couldn't help her.

Liling gazed at her copy, it was Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven, she knew the song quite well, so she didn't need to sing looking at the sheet.
