Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Sherilyn grabbed her phone, dialing Gilbert's number.

No answer.

Was he busy, or just didn't hear it?

Just as she was about to try again, Lauren approached her.

"Ms. Sherilyn! There you are. The director's looking for you. We're having a quick meeting."

"Alright, I'm on my way."

Sherilyn had no choice but to put her phone away and head to the meeting.

After the meeting, she returned to the rehearsal space.

As soon as she opened the door, Callie rushed towards her.

"Ms. Sherilyn, you're back? Perfect timing, I've got a question for you."

Thinking it was about dance techniques, Sherilyn prompted her to continue.

Callie frowned and said, "It's this-where's Caroline, our lead? Why hasn't she shown up yet?"

Sherilyn was taken aback, not expecting this question.

Looking at the other performers, their faces showed a mix of awkwardness, dissatisfaction, and mockery.
