Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 182 Nervousness

As the staff was making arrangements, Darren sauntered over to Elyse, his eyebrows raised in curiosity. "So, it's a toss-up, right? Cody Tucker seems to have a soft spot for both Vicky and you?"

Elyse, still reeling with confusion, shook her head. "I'm not sure. My < heart's racing so fast I might just burst," she replied, her nerves on edge.

Grace chimed in, leaning closer to whisper, "Regardless, Mr. Tucker's taken notice of you. Talent always wins out in our line of work."

Bart let out a small sigh. "I really stepped up my game this time, but did Mr. Tucker even notice?" The collective disappointment hung in the air.

Elyse racked her brain for a way to lift their spirits. Just as she was at a loss, she caught Vicky shooting daggers at her with narrowed eyes.

With a furrowed brow, Elyse marched over to Vicky, her tone firm. "Not convinced I've made the cut, huh?"

Vicky met her gaze with a smug smirk. "You've never had proper training. You're just lucky. Think I'l give you the satisfaction of being so cocky?"

Elyse's anger flared at the jab: "Lucky? Can't accept that I pose a threat? Fine. I'll show you just how capable I am. Brace yourself, because if you doubt me, I'll prove you wrong, over and over again.

Let's see who truly has what it takes."

Vicky's narrowed gaze held a challenge as she asked proudly, "Are you declaring war with me?"

"I will be the winner." Elyse shot back, her glare sharp as a blade.
