Chapter 1896
Nial and Rochelle, throughout the entire exchange, sat in their respective corners. They were never ones to like crowded occasions, anyway.
When they heard what Charmine said, they looked up and applauded her.
"Boss Jordan is right! Women now are independent and into corporate work!" "I support you, Charmine! Those times are over!"
The moment their words overlapped, they exchanged glances.
Rochelle frowned. "Why did this man clap, too? What an eerie coincidence!"
Nial raised an eyebrow at her, thinking to himself, 'Who's that woman?
Why’s she looking at me like that?'
McKenzie's delicate face stiffened.
D*mn it!
Charmine came up with such a weak excuse instead of admitting she could not play the harp!
Even in the 21st century, learning music had nothing to do with these cultures.
She wanted to embarrass Charmine, yet that woman managed to steer the conversation into something else!
McKenzie looked at Charmine with an unnoticeable disgust, and those who mocked her before had the same look on their faces.
Charmine could have admitted her ignorance, yet she pulled an excuse!
What a pity that they could not see her getting embarrassed!
Charmine turned to McKenzie and mocked, "Ms. McKenzie, instead of playing the harp, why don't we discuss technology? I've been working on the thirteenth generation processor. With the ER chip, it can work smoothly even when running large-sized games and software. It's forecasted to work three hundred percent faster than currently existing computers. It has built-
in location tracking, too. Even if the computer is stolen, it can be found anytime!"
This astounded everyone. All eyes stared at Charmine in shock.

"Any processor on the market now is only in the tenth generation!" "Ms. Jordan is working on the thirteenth generation?" "The tenth generation is already very powerful, yet she could make it three hundred percent faster?" "This technology is unreal!" "Ms. Charmine is indeed a tech mogul!"
Everyone could not help looking at Charmine with admiration.
McKenzie stared at Charmine.
Not only did she not play the harp, but she even changed the topic and directed the challenge back at her?
McKenzie would not let Charmine get away so easily!
She smiled and said elegantly, "I don't have the interest to work on this for now. Even if I do, I won't discuss it any further on this occasion. After all, this is a casual party tonight, isn't it?"
What McKenzie implied was that Charmine was careless in choosing topics at given occasions.
They both had smiles on their faces. However, their gaze toward one another was filled with hostility.
McKenzie's assistant thought of something and said, "Madam, since Ms. Charmine doesn't play the harp and the guests would like to hear it, we shouldn’t waste this expensive instrument. Why don’t you play us something for everyone to enjoy?"
The assistant made it seem as if everyone wanted to hear the sound of the harp.
However, anyone could tell that she was mocking Charmine for not being able to play.
Everyone had their eyes fixed on McKenzie. Some were anticipating, and some were waiting for the drama to unfold.
Charmine did not know how to play, but McKenzie did.
The crowd thus began to say excitedly...
"Ms. McKenzie, play us something. Enlighten us!" "Yeah. I've lived for fifty years, and I haven’t heard someone playing the harp before." "Enlighten us. I can’t wait!" "A beautiful woman, and an elegant instrument. I'm about to see it and hear it-it's the pleasure of my life! Ms. McKenzie, fulfill our dreams!"
