Just as Monique was lost in her thoughts, Ling Jing walked out of the fitting room.
Monique wanted to get to the bottom of the situation, but before she could open her mouth, Ling Jing had already interrupted her. "Let's start practicing. We don't have much time left. I don't want Gu Xiaoxiao to laugh at me that night at the Mid-Autumn Festival gala."
Monique stood there and looked at Ling Jing in a daze. "May I ask you a question?"
Ling Jing looked at Monique's questioning expression and could only nod. "What do you want to ask?"
"Who invited you here? How much is the total fee for you teaching me how to dance these few days?" Monique's clear almond-shaped eyes looked at Ling Jing seriously and sincerely.
She liked Ling Jing very much.
She was also very grateful that she had scolded Gu Xiaoxiao just now.
But if there were some questions that she didn’t make it clear, she actually wanted to give up.
Ling Jing was a first-class teacher, and her tuition fees were not cheap either. With her current ability, she really couldn't afford these tuition fees.
Moreover, when she left the Mu family manor, she had to make money to raise her Little Nomi.
She could not afford to spend so much money on it.
Besides, she still owed Henry money.
"It's Louise's friend who invited me here. I just said that your tuition fees are free. It's rare to get along well with you. I'm happy," Ling Jing replied simply.
Chairman Moore and Louise knew each other, so it was not a lie to say that they were Louise's friends.
She would not accept the tuition fees since she was happy.
She was so willful.
There was a layer of mist in Monique's beautiful almond-shaped eyes. She shook her head and said, "How can I do that? They’re not relevant. I still have to pay when I have to do so."
Ling Jing smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Don’t you think I'm your friend? We two can dance together and how can I charge since we are friends? Besides, I just said in front of Gu Xiaoxiao that I'm going to perform with you at the Mid-Autumn Festival gala. If I don't go up, she'll look down on me. It's definitely impossible."
Ling Jing saw Monique's hesitation and added, "You should work hard and practice hard as a tuition fee for me. Let me show off in front of Gu Xiaoxiao and it is the best way to repay me."
Monique understood Ling Jing's intentions and could only nod. "Thank you, Jingjing. It's so good to have a friend like you. If you need anything I can help you with in the future, feel free to let me know."
Ling Jing smiled and nodded. This silly girl would be the president's wife sooner or later.
Monique no longer put on airs and started to practice with Ling Jing seriously.
"No, no." Monique blushed and thought of Henry again.
Ling Jing smiled faintly when she saw Monique's blushing face. "I've also started practicing early in the morning. Take a break. I'm tired too."
Hearing Ling Jing say that she was tired, Monique immediately nodded. "Jingjing, thank you for your hard work."
Monique stopped, walked to the water dispenser, took out a glass of wine, and brought it to Ling Jing. "Jingjing, drink some water."
Ling Jing took the water from Monique and took a sip. "Monique, just treat me like an ordinary person. You don't have to be so deliberate. I'm not used to it."
When Monique first found out who Ling Jing was, she finally understood why Louise was so respectful to Ling Jing.
She was the same now.
Although she sincerely regarded Ling Jing as a friend in her heart, there was something incredible in her heart. After all, Ling Jing was such a powerful person.
But she also understood what Ling Jing meant.
What Ling Jing wanted was a true friend. A true friend would not be so deliberate.
She smiled happily. "Well, Jingjing, thank you."
