Chapter 206 Fortune Telling
Samuel’s 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 didn’t 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 king’s 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.
Yara’s song had an archaic vibe that somewhat fitted with the new map, but Wendy’s 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 didn’t really understand why Natalie had forced her to practice the dance until they could see bruises all over her body. She didn’t complain about it because she was grateful for Natalie’s kindness. Nevertheless, it still perplexed her.
It was a surprise to her that the dance came in handy.
After meeting up with Natalie, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know fortune-telling, boss?”
“Do you want to take a guess?” Natalie winked.
“I think you do. If not, how else would you know what occurred? Yara’s 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 game’s new map.”
“If you think I know, then I know. Even though I didn’t 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.”
A sudden realization hit Wendy.
She suddenly felt that each step she took following Natalie’s decisions was meant to put her in the spotlight at this exact moment. “Boss…”
“Did Yandel assimilate you?” The latter pinched her cheek slightly. “You still need to go back on stage.”
“For more dance?”
Natalie chuckled. “No. It’s because the company will be announcing you to be their new spokesperson later.”
“Me?” Wendy was flabbergasted. “Why is it me?”
“Why wouldn’t 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.” Natalie smirked confidently.
With Mona’s consolation, Yara finally composed herself as they watched Wendy finish her dance. “It was just an accident earlier. I bet this dance has helped the audience to forget what happened. It’ll be fine.”
Yara bit her lip.
She didn’t like the dance at all, but she couldn’t deny that it probably helped to lessen the impact of her blunder earlier.
Her mind couldn’t stop thinking about how she should present herself later to recover from her failure.
Mona adjusted her clothes and encouraged, “Cheer up, Yara. I know you’ll do great once you reenter the stage.”
“I will, Ms. Mona.”
When the host invited the company’s 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.
