You Had Me Once, Never Again 11

Chapter 115 She’s In Trouble

Hadley spent the entire day practicing in the dance studio.

In just two days, she would have to prove her progress to Blanche. If she, passed, the troupe would officially begin rehearsals.

By the time the clock hit a quarter past six, she changed into her own clothes, grabbed her bag, and hurried

out.

“Hadley, want to grab dinner with us tonight?” A few colleagues in the dressing room called out.

“Wish I could, but I have to be somewhere.” She shot a quick glance at the time.

There was a scene she had to film that evening, and being late wasn’t an option.

“Have fun, everyone. See you all tomorrow!”

With that, she dashed out of the room.

“Oh, Hadley…”

“What’s she always so busy with? She never shows up to any of our gatherings.”

One of the girls, Alita Reed, scoffed, her tone dripping with disdain.

“She just showed up out of nowhere. Ms. Nicolson handpicked her because of her so–called talent. Why would she waste time with us?”

The moment Hadley’s special recruitment came up, the room buzzed with conversation.

“I heard she used to dance with Red. People say she’s actually really good.”

“Yeah, I watched her during practice. She’s got serious talent.”

Alita let out a sharp scoff.

“Talent? You talk like the rest of us don’t know how to dance.”

If they weren’t skilled, they wouldn’t be here at all. Yet, despite their hard work, they were still stuck in minor roles. Meanwhile, Hadley had barely set foot in the troupe and was already leading a performance.

Not everyone was happy about it.

And no one resented the situation more than Alita.

She had been dancing under Blanche’s instruction since childhood, personally chosen to train with Lightning.
