Kaylee smiled broadly when she saw her idol finally appear, and their first lesson was about to begin. Although Kaylee didn't need to learn composing since she could already do it on her own, she didn't mind taking this extra class.

After all, their music style in arranging a piece was very different, and Kaylee would not be able to imitate Black Moon's style without getting direct guidance from the person himself.

Therefore, she was excited to be able to expand her knowledge in composing a song under Black Moon's guidance.

Will she be called a cheater? Maybe. But she won't be one as long as she didn't change Roe's style because her fans already like her music style. Kaylee just wanted to feel like she gets closer to Black Moon, her idol, by understanding how the man's way in composing a melody.

It was like that. Kaylee intended to learn earnestly like an amateur student. But when Kaylee remembered everything that happened on her date last night, she couldn't help but blush.

Luckily, Kaylee remembered that her role today is Nick and her appearance had no sign that she is Kaylee.

She didn't know how Declan had immediately noticed Roe's disguise and exposed her second identity, but she felt sure that Declan wouldn't have guessed that 'Nicholas Larson' was her.

Hence, she made sure that her mind always remembered that she wasn't Kaylee right now. She was Nick and knew nothing about yesterday's date. With great difficulty, Kaylee finally managed to act normally without feeling awkward and greeted Declan usually.

"Good evening, Mister Black."

Kaylee was surprised to see Declan sighed in resignation as if he didn't like the sight of her. She wonders if she did something wrong? Or was the man annoyed that she was using the piano without his permission?

Impossible. The man couldn't be that petty.

Kaylee followed Declan to the long table and sat across from the man.

"Have you finished learning Require the Live?"

"Yes." Kaylee handed Declan the notebook of her notes on the man's song. She felt absolutely confident that her records were so neat and thorough that they were almost perfect.

"Hm. Not bad," commented Declan without giving the impression he was impressed by Kaylee's notes.

This made Kaylee a little disappointed and kept silent.

"Since you already understand the character of this song, do you think you can improvise it?" Declan's question made Kaylee blink in confusion.

Why would that man want her to improvise the song? Shouldn't the man have told her to try to come up with new music based on this genre of Require to Live?

"Sorry, I do not understand. You want me to improvise?"

"Is there any problem?"

"No, sir. I just don't understand."

"Sometimes improvising a song is much more complex than creating a piece. Do it and give me the results one hour from now, whether you finish it or not."

Kaylee took her notebook back and sat down to start doing what the man had asked.

Surprisingly, Kaylee felt as if Declan was keeping a distance from her. The man only looked into her eyes when he was talking to her. After that, he would look away and walk away from her.

Kaylee wondered if she pissed the man off? Or does the man has a swing of mood change?

When she first came here, the man looked flat against her. But a moment later, the man looked at her with a softness that was very difficult to understand. The next second, the man even looked irritated with her even though Kaylee was sure she didn't do anything to offend him.

Come to think of it, didn't that man seem to kick her out two days ago? Did… she really do something wrong?

Or perhaps, the man was angry that she canceled yesterday's lesson and postponed it?

It was Kaylee who had asked to start their lessons as soon as possible, but she was also the one who had delayed it. No wonder the man is angry.

Somehow Kaylee's mind is currently focused on finding a way so that the man doesn't feel angry with her anymore. Without realizing it, she was not doing what the man told her to do at all.

Well, even if her mind did not get distracted, Kaylee wouldn't be able to improvise this song either.

Sometimes, she even found it difficult to add additional ornamentation or develop a melody to each bar in her own song, let alone improvise someone else's masterpiece. She wouldn't be able to do it.

She preferred producing rhythm music and improvising rhythm chords into accompaniment melodies or chordal. It's not that Kaylee couldn't improvise a tune. But at the very least, her hands should be on the piano keys to figuring out the best additional ornament.

But the man didn't order her to hold the piano nor say anything about her exercising without permission. However, it looked like Declan was annoyed that she played his piano without permission.

Kaylee glanced at Declan, who was now sitting in front of his desk, typing something on his laptop. Is the man working?

Kaylee has heard rumors that Declan was the CEO of a technology and security company in this city. Declan shouldn't need to be a lecturer at this campus, and that man would still be rich even without using his parents' names.

At first, Kaylee thought, the man relied on his father's big name and used it to become a benefactor and gain power in this campus. But she was wrong.

After talking about a lot of things with the man last night, Declan confessed that he became a teacher at this campus because he was in debt with someone. Now that man has found that person, and it was time for him to repay that person's kindness.

After that person graduated from this place with brilliant grades and became what he aspires to be, only then did Declan decide to quit his teaching job.

Kaylee looked at the man's face, who looked much more handsome as he put on a stern expression. She wondered, who was the person that man was referring to? Is it a boy or a girl?

Either way, Kaylee did not have to worry if Declan falls in love with that person, right? After all, their ages were too far apart that Kaylee didn't have to worry about it.

Wait a minute. Why was she afraid that Declan would fall for someone else? It's not like that she liked him like a girl who loves her lover.

Well, she did idolize him, and she knew how he felt about her. But she still didn't know how her feelings yet.

Did Kaylee like that man as a man? Or is it just her feelings of momentary because she idolizes him? Will Kaylee one day fall in love with this man?

Besides… what is love? Kaylee had never felt this strange feeling that her friends often talked about. Even if she had felt it, Kaylee would not have recognized it.

As far as she could remember, no man had pursued her earnestly. Yes, they confessed their love for her, but they disappeared without news the next day.

After spending three years in high school, Kaylee found out that there was some kind of bet among the boys to make her accept their confession.

Since then, Kaylee had become pessimistic and no longer cared about the young lads who approach her. On the contrary, she was more closed off and didn't allow any man to get close to her.

Come to think of it, Jacob was the first boy she let talk to her when she was Roe. She allowed him to speak to her and approach her even though her appearance was that of a girl.

Kaylee remembered how her face felt hot, and her heart skipped a beat when she recalled the way Jacob looked at her in awe. It was the first time she had received such a look from a man. Therefore she couldn't help but had a pounding heart.

Kaylee even remembered that she always felt happy and calm whenever she saw Jacob's big smile at her. The young man had a charm that was hard to resist making Kaylee unable to escape from him.

But…

Her heartbeat towards Jacob was nothing comparable when she was with Declan last night. It seemed her heart was only fluttering for Declan no matter when she felt intimidated by him or because she felt she liked him.

Does this mean… she likes Declan? Then what about Jacob?

Ugh! She had promised the young man to see her as Roe this afternoon. Why does she feel like she's cheating?

No. No. Kaylee still had not in a relationship with either of the men. Besides… she even didn't know whether this feeling was love or not. So it couldn't be called cheating.

"Mister Larson. Are you done?"

Kaylee gasped at Declan's flat voice, and suddenly, her heart started beating fast again.

Well, this time, she was nervous for fear that the man would get even angrier at her for not doing her job at all.

Oh, dear!
