The lights in the room dimmed and the entire room watched expectantly.
Suddenly, the large screen at the back of the stage lit up and the image was just the white sheet on the drawing board.
Then the stage lights came on and there were five people standing on the stage.
Looking at the costumes, some of them already guessed:
-This is a folk dance that has become very popular recently.
-I’m looking forward to it!
-Micaela is so versatile! She can play the piano and dance.
…
The music started and the five people danced to the rhythm. As she had practiced countless times, they danced well together.
The audience was captivated and admired.
The judges also kept praising and nodding their heads.
The audience was captivated and admired.
The judges on stage also continued to praise and nod their heads.
This finale was not very innovative, but it was impressive.
Suddenly, standing in the center, Micaela made a magnificent turn and left the dance line, heading for the backboard. Picking up a paintbrush, she began to draw.
The remaining four dancers kept dancing, and when they reached an important point, Micaela kept up the rhythm again. The audience was amazed, watching Micaela go back and forth between the dance and the drawing board.
On the big screen, the beginning of the painting slowly appeared and the audience began to shout:
-Oh my God, it’s a pair of rings!
-It’s a couple’s ring! How beautiful!
-That reaches the level of a professional designer!
…
Olivia, who was standing behind the stage curtain, was also stunned.
I haven’t seen Micaela do this move during rehearsals!
Contemplating the ring that was becoming clearer and clearer on the big screen, Olivia looked at the ring on her hand.
It was a gift from Leonardo on Valentine’s Day.
At the time Alba had asked him to propose, and she had been hopeful at the time. However, after just one look, she knew Leonardo was not ready for this.
Then she thought about the phone call she had made to Leonardo a few days ago.
Clearly, he answered, because she saw that there was a two-second call time.
She didn’t call back and sat on the toilet seat, convincing herself again and again that he might be busy….
Looking at the audience below the stage, something occurred to Olivia and she headed that way.
The final pose on stage was Micaela standing in the middle of four dancers with, in the background, the exquisite pair of rings on the screen.
The performance ended with a gasp of amazement and applause.
The dance lasted about half an hour, and when they retired, they hadn’t even caught their breath.
Micaela was grateful to the four dancers:
-Thank you very much!
The four dancers were very happy:
-Thank you for giving us such a good opportunity -Listen to the answer!
-Micaela, you are very good at combining movement and displacement. You need physical strength to dance and at the same time you have to create. Well done!
Micaela wiped her sweat and smiled modestly.
The other models also gathered around, except Valery and Adriana. Each of them looked at Micaela with appreciation and jealousy. It should be no problem for her to advance to the top five.
They felt convicted about losing to such a strong opponent.
-Micaela, your show was so special!
-You are so cool!
-Micaela, can I have the design of your pair of rings?
Micaela said kindly:
-Yes!
Others shouted in surprise:
-Really? Then I want it too.
The director suddenly approached, full of joy, but said in a stern voice:
-This design, it belongs to Micaela’s personal work.
All the models had a pitiful expression.
The director continued:
-Everyone come up on stage! The judges’ scoring session is beginning.
Only then did they all make their way to the stage, one after the other.
Micaela looked around and still didn’t see Olivia, so she asked:
-Director, have you seen Olivia? My make-up artist.
-I saw her go into the audience a moment ago. Micaela, about that design you just did, I want to talk to you later.
Micaela nodded, but continued to worry about Olivia.
They were all lined up on stage, receiving live scores from the judges.
Without a doubt, Micaela’s performance received unanimous praise from the audience as well as the judges. Especially for her design, even the judge was asking if he could have one.
As the director had just explained it beforehand, Micaela said what the director asked, and the judge just gave in.
The judges began to score. The scoring criteria included dress, performance, temperament, appearance, and reaction. Reaction referred to stage performance.
After a series of comprehensive scores, the emcee began announcing the nominations that would make the top five list.
When the scores were revealed from lowest to highest, everyone was very nervous, especially Adriana and Valery.
This competition was very real. There were no other factors at play, and everyone had gotten here on merit.
The people whose names were read first were the ones who were eliminated.
When the presenter read the fifth, Valery’s name was announced. She became very sad.
Damn it, I was so close to make it to the finals!
And since Adriana’s name had not yet been read, she had already advanced!
-The remaining ones are the top five of the Super Angel Contest! Fifth place, Adriana!
There was a round of applause.
Adriana was relieved as she bowed.
Although she had finished in last place, at least she had made the top five!
There was no doubt that Micaela had also made the top five. The fact that her name hadn’t been called yet meant that she was in the front!
This made Adriana very angry.
“But there’s still a chance for the finals!”
Micaela’s name was read last, and there was no doubt about first place. The entire room buzzed with excitement and praise for a well-deserved victory.
After a half hour of thank you speeches at the end, the competition was over.
Worried about Micaela, Micaela tried to look for her, but the other models were all around her.
-Micaela, congratulations!
-I’m sorry I couldn’t join you until the end of the competition.
-I can’t wait to see your next performance!
…
Apart from Valery and Adriana, everyone was very kind to Micaela.
After saying goodbye to all of them, Micaela finally found Olivia at the security exit.
She was sitting on the stairs, hugging her knees, her face buried in her arm…
