Yesterday, when William arrived, he was furious, ready to tear Quiana apart. Today, he was all po and courteous as if he were a completely different person, which made Steven and the others stunned,
Ryan blinked and he ran his fingers through his golden hair. “Since you’re back, let’s focus on training. The performance is just a few days away.”
“Right.” Steven snapped back to his senses. “Time is really tight right now.”
Even though Quiana’s solo performance had been impressive, the real challenge now was being part of a team.
Quiana nodded and slowly went back to her dorm to change. After putting on her microphone, she entered the training room, and a group of girls who were already practicing immediately turned to look at her, their gazes odd and suspicious.
“Why is she back?”
“Who knows?”
Some muttered quietly, while a few girls approached her with genuine concern.
“Quiana, where did you go yesterday?”
“I heard you were taken away. Are you okay?”
Their warmth and enthusiasm stood in stark contrast to the cold indifference they had shown her the day before.
Quiana smiled faintly. “I went to save someone.”
They didn’t believe her at all.
Quiana wasn’t interested in acting intimately. She scanned the room and casually asked, “Where’s Wendy?”
“She’s…” Just as the girl was about to answer, Wendy walked in from outside, calling out to Quiana, “Our team’s training room is this way.”
Quiana raised an eyebrow, uncrossed her legs, and walked over. She was tall, at least 5.5 feet, and exuded an effortless, carefree air.
Her pink training outfit was made to look stylish. And then there was that face–the one that made everything else pale in comparison. It was the kind of beauty that made both men and women feel envious.
“I don’t know why she always looks so hypocritical,” Jessica muttered under her breath.
Luna rolled her eyes. “Even if she survives today, after the first performance, she’ll still have to leave.”

Each team had its own training room. Lucy had just finished eating and was heading back to Training Room One when she spotted Quiana. She froze with disdain in her eyes. She turned and slammed the door of the room shut behind her.
Wendy frowned and pulled Quiana toward Training Room Four, whispering, “She’s from Star Entertainment, full of arrogance. Since you stole her spotlight here, she’s been bothered by it. Just keep your distance from her.”
Quiana glanced down at Wendy’s hand gripping her wrist. With a lazy smile, her eyes lifted, and she responded in a laid-
back tone, “Got it.”
In the training room, all eight members were gathered, not training, but watching the music video for Eternal Melody. They

turned their heads as soon as they heard the noise, and their expressions shifted to something a little more complicated.
The training room had cameras, so no one dared to say anything rude.
Wendy turned to Quiana and said, “The song Eternal Melody is a traditional style, and the dance is grand and dramatic. While you were away, we went over the music sheet and broke it down step by step. You should take a look at it now.”
Quiana nodded. “Got it.”
She sat down in the corner and began looking over the sheet. Meanwhile, Jessica and Nora pulled Wendy aside. “Why are you giving her so much attention?”
“Yeah, we worked hard on that music sheet. Why should she get to just benefit from it?” Nora added.
Wendy frowned. “We’re a team now, and she’s a Grade A. What we need on stage is unity.”

“That Grade A is questionable. Who knows if she’ll even make it on stage?” Jessica grumbled. Half of the music sheet was her work.
“Enough.” Wendy shot a glance at Quiana, who was sitting in the corner, stretching one leg while studying the music with focus. “No matter what, she’s part of our team now. Maybe she can still pull off that amazing talent of hers.”
Jessica and Nora didn’t believe that, but since Wendy wouldn’t listen, they had to hold it back and say nothing.
