Rebecca told Dylan about their problem. After hearing the whole thing, Dylan smiled, “Would you guys sing the whole song for me?”
The girls looked at each other and played the instrument, singing the whole song.
Dylan nodded as he heard the song. After the song was over, he concluded. The problem was that Thea’s singing skills stood out too much among all the other girls. Her voice was so unique that no one would notice other girls’ voices when she opened her mouth. That was why the whole song sounded so uneven.
“Dylan, what should we do?” Rebecca asked nervously.
Dylan went silent for a second before opening his mouth, “Well, I can redistribute the parts for you guys if you guys wouldn’t mind.”
“You would do that?”
“That’s great, actually.”
“Thank you, Dylan.”
The girls seemed excited.
Thea sneaked a couple of looks at Dylan when he was studying the music.
Dylan noticed she was looking at him secretly, but he didn’t mind. A lot of girls had a crush on him. But Dylan wouldn’t care often. He was actually glad that Thea was checking him out. He had a great impression of this young artist.
“Well… Thea’s voice is quite stand-out. The whole song will sound more balanced if she gets the middle parts,” Dylan said after thinking for a bit.
Thea blinked. Was it really her fault? Dylan redistributed the parts, making Thea sing the most difficult parts. So Thea’s voice would level up the quality of the whole song, completing the performance perfectly.
They tried the song again, and it sounded quite great.
The girls were so excited after having their problems solved.
Tiffany and Jessica were the only exceptions. They were not happy that Thea still got the main parts after the second distribution. But they didn’t show it. They didn’t want to appear to be mean in front of the camera.
“Thank you, Dylan,” Rebecca said excitedly, blushing. “Thanks for helping us out.”
Dylan smiled charmingly, “You’re welcome, and I’m very glad that I helped. You guys are amazing artists, and you’re all making the people who love you extremely proud, including me. See you guys on the stage soon.”
The girls still thanked Dylan repeatedly as he walked out of the studio.
Thea couldn’t take her eyes away from him. This guy was just full of charm. She had never seen anyone so nice yet sexy.
Time passed pretty fast. Soon, it was time for the girls to perform on the stage.
After the last rehearsal, the girls went to eat. Most girls on Thea’s team were too nervous to eat anything. Thea was also feeling nervous. But she still forced herself to eat some food. Eating too much would impede her vocals on stage sometime. She thus ate just enough.
Jessica threw up after lunch due to the stress. The poor girl wasn’t as popular as Tiffany or Thea. She thought she would probably get eliminated after this round of competition.
When they all went to the dressing room to get their styles done, Thea took the chance to comfort her.
Since she entered the building, Jessica had always been Tiffany’s lapping dog.
Thea was never fond of her. But she still felt bad for her. Besides, they were performing as a team. If Jessica weren’t in her best condition, the whole team’s performance would be reduced.
Rebecca was clearly thinking about the same thing as the team leader. She asked Thea to go back to her place and get some rest, saying she got Jessica.
Thea smiled and walked back to her vanity. However, when she sat down and was gonna take a sip from her cup of water, she suddenly noticed that someone had repacked her water with some black tea.
To ensure the quality of her voice, Thea never drank anything except water before she went on the stage.
This was weird!
She thought for a second and looked around the room. Everyone minded their own business. Thea took a fake sip from her cup, pretending that she drank the tea.
****
The shooting started at 7. Thea’s team was the first one going onto the stage.
“Being the first one is great. At least we don’t need to wait nervously until it is our turn,” Thea tried to comfort her teammates.
The girls smiled at her dryly.
They went to the stage one by one and struck their poses. The music started to play as the lights were on.
The performance started.
Thea was in a black dress. Her face was as perfect as an angel’s. She took away everyone’s breath when she started to sing.
The three judges were watching the performance intently. Dylan couldn’t stop smiling when it was Thea’s part. He was right about this girl. She was born to be a star, and she would shine no matter what the circumstances were.
Wendy was in awe. For the first time in her career, she suddenly felt challenged by a rising star.
Paris Dunn was the only one who managed to put on a fake smile. Why was this whore still performing? Didn’t the medicine work? When would it work?
It was impossible.
She had told those people what to do.
It was not like those people were stupid. It was a simple mission. How could they ever fail that?
Paris was getting more and more anxious as the performance was getting to the end.
Paris tended to get thirsty when she was anxious. She was a good actor, and she could hide her anxiety perfectly. But she couldn’t stop herself from drinking water from the cup before her.
She had almost emptied the cup of water as she watched the show.
Soon, it was Thea’s part again. Thea finished her part perfectly. She was singing like a diva, as always.
However, Paris’s expression suddenly changed.
When the performance was over, Paris suddenly shot up from her seat and ran out of the hall, one hand covering her stomach.
Everyone was stunned by her sudden move. The workers of the site went forth to check her out, “Paris, are you okay?”
Paris shook her head as she ran past the groups of crew members. The lines of the cameras and lights were tangled on the ground. Paris tripped over as she tried to run away.
She fell to her knees, but she instantly stumbled to her feet.
The whole place fell silent even though it was time to clap for the performance. They were all stunned by Paris’s abnormal behavior.
“Paris? Are you okay? Do you need any help?” The workers asked nervously.
Paris shook her head furiously as she covered her stomach as if she was in great pain, “Get the fuck out of my way! Stop standing there like an idiot!”
The cameras and microphones she knocked over made a huge sound. Paris had never felt so humiliated before in her whole life. And then, she felt she couldn’t hold it anymore. A disgusting smell suddenly floated in the hall as she pooped herself in front of everyone.
The whole hall fell silent.
