The moment Charmaine answered, Celeste’s voice came through, breathless and full of panic. “Waaah! Charmaine, I can’t find my entry pass, Ms. Ruc isn’t answering my texts, and the security guards won’t believe I’m supposed to perform! They locked me in a tiny storage room!”

Charmaine’s face darkened immediately, her delicate features hardening. Without a second thought, she stormed toward the lounge and kicked the door open with a sharp movement.

The sound made both people inside jump, their faces draining of color at the unexpected intrusion.

Leah clutched her chest in shock, but as soon as she saw Charmaine’s angry expression, a flicker of panic crossed her face before she quickly regained her composure.

The call hadn’t ended, and Celeste’s desperate voice came through clearly. “Ms. Rue! It’s me! I’ve been trying to reach you… I lost my entry pass, and the guards locked me up in a small room. Please help! I’m so scared…”

Elvia’s face tightened, and she immediately scolded, “How could you lose something so important?!”
