Julius gave them a casual glance, his narrow eyes narrowing slightly, his gaze cold and indifferent. “Let’s go inside,” he said listlessly.
This was the first time for this distinguished gentleman–Julius, to attend such an event, and he wasn’t fully aware of how much attention his identity and appearance would draw.
Alina sighed and carefully spoke up. “Mr. Hawley, Mr. Evans, Dr. Spence, you are quite noticeable.”
She pu
pulled out a few masks from her bag, which she had prepared in advance. “Maybe you should cover up a bit?”
Julius frowned. Zack also looked disdainful. “We’re here to see Quiana perform, not to hide in the shadows.”
Alina lightly pulled at the corners of her mouth. “That’s not what I meant.” She had originally planned to come alone, wanting to see how Quiana was adapting to the training camp.
However, this morning, as soon as she stepped out of Stellar Entertainment, she was intercepted by these few. Then, inexplicably, they all ended up here together.
Alina’s thoughts raced, and she looked at Julius, coming up with a perfect excuse, “Quiana doesn’t like causing trouble!”

There were five hundred audience members, and each person had ten votes, which could be split among several performers. or all given to one
Julius played with the device; his fingers clearly defined. Even with the mask covering his face, his aura of distinction couldn’t be hidden. His eyes, visible above the mask, were hazy but exuded an invisible pressure. “What’s Quiana’s number?”
Alina was momentarily taken aback. “I don’t know yet. She wasn’t sure what was happening inside. The tickets Zack had arranged were in the front three rows, not too far from the stage.
As they entered, some people were holding light sticks and jostling to find their seats, making it quite noisy. Just as Zack and others were starting to grow impatient, the lights dimmed. Four mentors came out and performed an opening dance

After the four mentors took their seats, Steven stood on the stage with a card in his hand and began explaining the rules and procedures,
Backstage, the performance order was determined by a draw, Sarah’s team was first. She was wearing a black and white outfit, looking bright and beautiful. Standing in the waiting area, she kept taking deep breaths to calm herself down.

“Come on, let’s go through it one more time, everyone, don’t be nervous.” Wendy returned to her to when she noticed someone was missing. She asked the others, “Where’s Quiana?”
Jessica rolled her eyes. “She’s sleeping in the makeup room.
