Objectively speaking, Olivia had a certain charm under the spotlight.

From the sidelines, Naomi observed Olivia on stage with the critical eye of a fellow dancer.

Occasionally, the camera would sweep over the audience, catching a few of Olivia’s admirers. They were eager to shower her with flowers as soon as the performance ended.

With her family background, beauty, talent, and fame, Olivia was practically unbeatable.

That was how Naomi had lost her ex–boyfriend to Olivia.

When he broke up with her, he even made up excuses, claiming his family rejected her because she looked too wild and improper, and she had male partners while dancing.

Naomi scoffed to herself. ‘What a joke.

‘Funny how he never had those complaints when he was busy chasing after Olivia.’

But in the end, it turned out that anyone who could be so easily stolen away wasn’t worth keeping anyway.

Naomi’s gaze

shifted to the man resting on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Ever since she’d brought them in, Alexei’d either been on the phone handling work, or offering Natasha pieces of fruit.

Sometimes, he’d tune in to their technical talk about dance, but he never spared a single glance at Olivia on the screen.

Naomi remembered the rumors about Natasha’s childhood sweetheart.

She smiled to herself.

She thought, ‘Letting go of the small stuff for something much better isn’t so bad after all,

She could say with confidence that Alexei was hundreds of times more dependable than Lucas.

At the very least, in moments like these, he would stand firmly by Natasha’s side.

No matter what kind of trouble she got herself into, he’d always have her back and let her do as she pleased.

As for Lucas, Naomi had seen him show up to support Olivia more than once.
