Chapter 206
Samuelâs eyes were glinting with desire as he stared at the scarlet figure for what felt like ten thousand
years.
He knew she had great aspirations and that she didnât want to rely on anyone else to shine brightly. That
was why he was surprised she hid herself so carefully, as if intentionally holding back her brilliance. I
wonder what kind of tragic past she had that made her aim so high and desire so much. She continues
to treat everyone as kindly as she could, yet she never truly trusted anyone. I doubt even a girl from a
poor family lived a life as difficult as hers. Her charm is captivating, yet I can still see the pain hiding
behind her veneer.
The song finally ended.
Wendy leaped and landed on the drum as if the kingâs army had died in the battle in the desert.
The glory that was once possessed by the great dynasty was instantly buried beneath the golden sand.
Yaraâs song had an archaic vibe that somewhat fitted with the new map, but Wendyâs current dance truly
captured the spirit of the game.
There was a dead silence from the audience.
They were still entranced by the magical performance, unable to pull themselves back to reality.
As much as the glamorous outfits awed them, only a truly magnificent performance of both song and
dance could move their hearts.
No one knew who was the first to clap their hands, but when it woke the rest of them up from their
trance, the audience immediately gave the performers a standing ovation.
A thunderous applause echoed within the venue. Even some of the attendees even began to cry.
Wendy stepped away from the drums and bowed before leaving the stage.

Initially, she didnât really understand why Natalie had forced her to practice the dance until they could see
bruises all over her body. She didnât complain about it because she was grateful for Natalieâs kindness.
Nevertheless, it still perplexed her.
It was a surprise to her that the dance came in handy. .
After meeting up with Natalie, she couldnât help but ask, âDo you know fortune telling, boss?â
âDo you want to take a guess?â Natalie winked.
âI think you do. If not, how else would you know what occurred? Yaraâs piano just so happened to
malfunction, and that forced the host to find a new performance to cover for her. It turned out to be an
opportunity for me to perform the dance you made me practice, and it coincidentally happened to fit
perfectly with the gameâs new map.â
âIf you think I know, then I know. Even though I didnât tell you why you should practice it, you did so
without question. The respect you have garnered tonight is thanks to your own hard work.â
A sudden realization hit Wendy.

She suddenly felt that each step she took following Natalieâs decisions was meant to put her in the
spotlight at this exact moment. âBoss...â
âDid Yandel assimilate you?â The latter pinched her cheek slightly. âYou still need to go back on stage.â
âFor more dance?â
Natalie chuckled. âNo. Itâs because the company will be announcing you to be their new spokesperson
later.â
â â âMe?â Wendy was flabbergasted. âWhy is it me?â
âWhy wouldnât it be you? Did you hear how loud they were clapping earlier? You poured your heart and
soul into the dance. You deserve to be the spokesperson.â Natalie smirked confidently.
With Monaâs consolation, Yara finally composed herself as they watched Wendy finish her dance. âIt was
just an accident earlier. I bet this dance has helped the audience to forget what happened. Itâll be fine.â
Yara bit her lip.
She didnât like the dance at all, but she couldnât deny that it probably helped to lessen the impact of her
blunder earlier.
Her mind couldnât stop thinking about how she should present herself later to recover from her failure.
Mona adjusted her clothes and encouraged, âCheer up, Yara. I know youâll do great once you reenter the
stage.â
âI will, Ms. Mona.â
When the host invited the companyâs CEO to announce the spokesperson of the game, Yara was
already standing at the edge of the stage.
However, the spokesperson that the CEO gleefully announced turned out to be
Wendy.
