Chapter 45 Are They Still Together Now
“What the hell is that?”
A slick, unpleasant sensation clung to the bottom of Eric’s shoe, sending a shudder up his spine.
He aimed his phone’s flashlight downward, only to find that he had stepped on something soft–and clearly edible.
Disgust twisted his expression as he yanked his foot back.
Irritated, he stomped twice, shaking off the remnants, and then strode forward, his patience already wearing
thin.
Behind him, Hadley threw the door wide open.
She just realized that, without meaning to, she might have dropped her pumpkin soup earlier when she was startled by Eric’s presence at her doorstep.
Turning on her phone’s flashlight, she scanned the area, sweeping the beam across the hallway until she spotted it in the corner. But the sight made her stomach drop–the bowl lay shattered, with soup splattered messily across the floor.
Hadley released a slow, disappointed breath. “It’s completely ruined,” she muttered under her breath.
Without hesitation, she turned away, reached for a mop, and set to work. It only made sense that she should
be the one to clean up the mess.
Still, she didn’t dwell on the spilled soup for long.
By the next morning, she had put it out of her mind and arrived at the address Elvin had sent, stepping in right on time alongside a small group of other dance stand–ins.

“I’ll make this quick,” he said, his tone brisk. “The choreographer and I have already discussed what I want to
present. Every routine they’ve designed needs to be drilled until it’s flawless. When the cameras roll, I don’t want a single pause.”
Adonis had built his reputation on filming scenes in a single, continuous take, demanding that his actors,
actresses, and even background dancers perform with the precision and stamina of a Broadway production.
“Yes, sir,” the girls replied in unison.
Hadley gave herself a silent pep talk.
She wasn’t nervous. As a dancer, her job was to execute every move with precision, and she was more than

From morning until well past midday, Hadley and the other girls pushed themselves to their limits under the choreographer’s watchful eye, sweating through every grueling sequence.
Adonis‘ expectations were nothing short of relentless. And this was just for the opening number–or so they’d
been told.
