Chapter 268:

The reporters didn’t care about Elyse’s late arrival, leaving Vicky unable to exploit the situation. Instead, she sulked in silence. Once Elyse returned, the reporters directed all their questions to her, excluding Vicky from the conversation. But Elyse, unlike Vicky, didn’t hog the spotlight. She made sure to acknowledge other orchestra members and even mentioned those practicing in the rehearsal room. She suggested genuinely, “If you’re curious, I really recommend checking out our rehearsal. You’ll see how hard everyone’s working. Without that dedication, our first performance wouldn’t have been such a success.”

Vicky resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Elyse’s display of sincerity but held back because of the cameras. She was the only one not happy. With the reporters present, everyone felt comfortable talking openly without needing to cater to Vicky.

After the interview, they guided the reporters to the rehearsal room. At first, the rehearsing members were confused, but soon their excitement grew upon realizing the reporters were there to film them. Once the video was taken, the reporters left.

Their manager arrived shortly afterward and asked Elyse in a harsh tone, “Where were you just now? How could you vanish at such an important moment?”

“I’m really sorry. It was my fault,” Elyse admitted softly, her voice tinged with seriousness.

The manager gave her a few final words before dismissing her. With a nod, Elyse limped back. She couldn’t tell who had locked her in, but she wouldn’t let that person off easily if she found out.
