Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Once the onlookers dispersed, Naomi felt her legs weak. She leaned against the nearby wall.

“Miss Clark,” she carefully chose her words, concerned about hurting Natasha’s pride. “Andrea is very strong. Perhaps you should look at her past work first? You know, it’s always good to know your competition.”

If it didn’t work out, they could think of countermeasures carly.

Although those solo dances didn’t meet Sophia’s expectations, it didn’t mean Andrea wasn’t good. It was more about stylistic differences.

The performance Natasha scheduled required her and the second female lead Andrea coached to compete on the same stage.

Not only did one have to dance well, but also outperform the opponent on stage. That was a different concept from solo dancing.

Natasha looked at her, smiled, and asked, “Don’t you have confidence in us?”

She added, “You weren’t like this back home before. When facing Olivia, you were incredibly assertive, daring to confront her even without a strong background.”

Naomi paused.

Lately, she had been outwardly cheerful, but she was actually under a lot of pressure.

This opportunity was too important for her. She was cautious in every aspect, didn’t dare speak up even when wronged, didn’t dare voice her opinions, and was indeed living a stifled life.

Yet, previously in her professional field, she was known for her assertiveness and pride.

Her mental state was not ideal for a stage performance. No wonder Andrea always found fault with her.

Natasha smiled and gave Naomi a dose of reassurance, “Don’t worry. Have you forgotten? While it’s a competition, this round also requires cooperation.”

Naomi suddenly had a moment of clarity and sharply turned to look at Natasha.

Natasha smiled and nodded.

Naomi was convinced. She realized why Natasha had insisted on choosing such a complicated round.

On stage, while the female lead and second female lead were rivals, they didn’t truly perform in isolation once the show began.

They competed through collaboration. Neither one could completely dominate the other, nor could they be so harmonious that their individual strengths were indistinguishable.

In this back–and–forth dynamic, it was destined that she and Natasha would work with Andrea and her second female lead for the next three days.

Prejudice often came from unfamiliarity.
