It was a very tactful statement, but the threat that was packed into it was no less felt.

Lead a group of people to the training camp? God, how big a hullabaloo that would be. Xia Ling chewed on it — Li Lei must have known that she wouldn't want to blow things up, such that he could be so sure of his ways.

She swallowed her annoyance and received the box. "Extend my thanks to your Young Master."

The butler remained warm and respectful. "Young Master also said that you can give him a call anytime you feel that you've changed your mind. There is a speed dial button on the side of the phone, which would be his number."

"Thank you, but I will never use it." Xia Ling resisted the strong urge to hurl the phone to the ground. She finished her sentence with teeth clenched and got into the car.

When she returned to the training camp, she realized that a lot had changed in the time she wasn't around.

For one, Lu Tao had found a street dance buddy, a teenager called Leng Hui. With dark hair, delicate eyes, and an ever expressionless face, he was the cool guy type that swooned all the girls.

He transferred over from Imperial Entertainment, and at the same time, Luo Luo had chosen to go over to Imperial.

Xia Ling had her concerns for that adorable girl. Imperial Entertainment's training was the best and also the harshest in the industry — competition was extremely intense, the elimination rate was incredibly high, and every year there would be news and rumors that someone had committed suicide due to the immense pressure. She wondered if Luo Luo could persevere.

Tan Ying called Xia Ling into the office and handed something to her. "Luo Luo told me to pass this on to you. She said that it must've been because you were in a bad mood from being taken advantage of last time that you didn't regard her as a friend. And that she would always see you as a friend and support you no matter where she goes. She hopes that both of you would make it big soon."

Xia Ling looked down at the four-leaf clover pendant that was lying still in her palm, her heart aching a little. Luo Luo was such a pure and simple child, she could still show unbounded life and magnanimity even after such a rejection.

She said, "Please let Luo Luo know to take good care of herself." However, after a pause, she changed her mind. "Forget it."

Tan Ying poked fun at her. "How cruel. You very well know that she admires you a lot, how could you bear to treat her like that?"

"What do you expect me to do then? Cry and sob and tell her I'm wrong and let's reconcile?" Xia Ling couldn't contain her irritability, and her tone was curt. "Chairman Tan, this is my personal matter, thus I won't bother you with it."

Who doesn't want a friend? Who doesn't want another person to look out for them?

But she could not — never.

From then on, she just wanted to walk her journey alone. With no worries and cares, there would be no betrayal.

The days went by like water flowing out a stream.

Xia Ling went about her days in solitude — in practice, having meals, brushing up for bed. Apart from that, she occasionally went to Wei Shaoyin's recording studio to help him out with the miscellaneous work, organizing the scores and assisting in the recording. She also followed him around sometimes and heard him discuss his plans and proposals with people from all walks of life. They were usually beautiful and elegant works, vastly different from her gorgeous, demonic works.
