At this moment, Patricia was being taken care of by Balfourâs staff, resting in the quest room, her face as pale as a sheet. On her usually innocent face, the current expression looked unnaturally forced Just a moment ago, she had watched Ellinorâs performance on stage through a video call with Balfourâs subordinate, Quinton.
She was surprised, shocked, and jealous!
Ellinorâs performance was beyond her expectations, and it was so good it had the audience clapping and cheering for her!
What on earth?
How could poor born Ellinor perform such a sophisticated art and sing so well? She was even better than Patricia herself, who had been practicing in secret for months!
Patricia was furious, this was not the outcome she wanted to see!
She had hoped Ellinor would sing out of tune due to her lack of performance skills, annoying the old Mr.
Bagley to the point of disgust and even dismissal!
But Ellinorâs performance was superb, and she must have received additional praise from the old Mr.
Bagley, which was simply unbearable.
She knew she should not have agreed to let Ellinor replace her on stage in the first place, she should have just let Balfour kick Ellinor out, so none of this would have happened! She was full of regret!
Just then, Haillie knocked on the door and walked in, looking at Patriciaâs face, she asked with concern, âPatricia, how is your foot? What did the doctor say after the check-up?â
Seeing her friend, Patricia immediately put on a smile and replied, âDonât worry, Haillie, the doctor said I just sprained my foot. Itâs nothing serious, Iâll be okay after some rest Relieved, Haillie nodded, âThatâs a relief. I was so worried that your foot would be worsened by that cunning woman, Ellinor!â
Hearing Haillie mention Ellinor, Patriciaâs smile stiffened a bit, but she still tried to remain calm, though she was already annoyed with Haillie.
It was all Haillieâs fault!
It was she who suggested letting Ellinor replace her on stage. Otherwise, Ellinor wouldnât have had the chance to perform!
Sometimes, her friend really gave her a headache!
Haillie, oblivious to Patriciaâs annoyance, continued, âPatricia, the old Mr. Bagley wants to see you. He has something to say!â
Patricia, still sulking, was taken aback, âWhat? Does the old Mr. Bagley want to see me? He has something to say to me?â
Haillie nodded, âYes, because he really liked that performance just now, so the old Mr. Bagley wants to meet the lead performer!â
Patricia was a bit confused, she blinked, âThe old Mr. Bagley wants to see the lead performer, but that person is,â
Patricia was about to say Ellinorâs name, but Haillie interrupted her, âThe lead performer is you, Patricial Did you forget that Ellinor performed just now on your behalf? Iâve already told the old Mr Bagley that the performer was you, and it was a gift you prepared for him. So, of course, the person he wants to see is you!â Only then did Patricia realize what Haillie meant. She was so angry about Ellinorâs great performance that she forgot Ellinor had performed in her name.
At this point, Patriciaâs gloom had lifted
