Diana sat on the chair in front of the Dean's office, watching the old man squinting his eyes at her with a friendly smile, like a Buddha.
Since the last time her piano had impressed him, the Dean had always been like this in front of her.
Diana shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Dean, is there something else?"
"Oh, isn't it that you'll be performing next week? Report what pieces you'll be playing, we need to prepare in advance. Also..." the Dean sat up straight, "Every year, the university selects some outstanding students, in addition to student representatives, to showcase their talents. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
At the mention of this, Diana's eyes lit up. The grand auditorium, thousands of people watching. If Maddie embarrassed herself in public...
A glint of light flash
