Let's Start All Over Again, Shall We (Maggie and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 A Grander Scheme

“All” Shania cried out, her eyes wide with terror.

Maggie responded quickly, observing Shania’s actions in the mirror without turning around..

Thus, she promptly stood and stepped aside when the coffee spilled.

Yet Shania came prepared, and soon, the coffee drenched both Heidi and Maggie.

“I’m so sorry, Maggie! It was an accident, I swear!” Shania said, her face wrought with worry as she apologized repeatedly.

Maggie looked on with a neutral expression, silently assessing her. Meanwhile, she could feel the dampness on her shoulders as she watched the coffee stains spread across her attire.

“What’s going on here?” Danielle rushed in upon hearing the disturbance.

Upon seeing Maggie soaked in coffee, she blanched.

Tears welling up, Shania stammered, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t notice Heidi wasn’t ready to take it. I was just trying to pass it quickly and ended up spilling it on Maggic.

Heidi grimaced, interjecting, “You let go of your hand even though I clearly wasn’t ready.”

Sierra scowled and chided, “Are you stupid? You can’t even manage this simple task. If this delays the competition today, you’ll be hearing from me!”

At Sierra’s reprimand, Shania burst into tears.

“You’re fired,” Sierra stated icily.

Danielle and Heidi were seething but held back from rebuking Sierra at that moment.

“Maggie, there’s still plenty of time before your performance. Take care of this first. Ms. Agnes just delivered the clothes, so you have time.”

Danielle looked at Maggie in concern, worried that she would be affected.

Maggie kept her composure and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Feeling particularly remorseful, Heidi followed Maggie to another room to help her remove the stains and change clothes, as she, too, had been splashed with coffee.

Before leaving, Maggie took a quick look at the backstage monitoring setup and then sent a message to Lucas. ‘Keep an eye on the backstage monitors for me. I need to know if Sierra is up to something.

Lucas, adept at navigating digital security, hacked into the arena’s backstage monitoring system, tracking both Sierra and Maggie.

Although no camera was positioned directly above them, one was aimed at their location from about four or five meters away.

After reaching the room, Heidi assisted Maggie in cleaning the coffee stains from her body.

Luckily, they were wearing loose robes typically used during makeup application, so the stains did not pose a significant problem.

“I’m really sorry, Maggie. If I hadn’t taken that coffee, none of this would have happened…” Heidi apologised.

“Ms. Brook, this isn’t your fault. Even if it hadn’t been for that coffee, they would find another way if they wanted to harm me,” Maggie reassured her softly

Heidi, although known as the school’s makeup artist, was also a respected teacher at the School of Arts. She was in her thirties and highly skilled.

“Ms. Brook, I should be fine now. Why don’t you see the clothes?” Maggie suggested gently.

“But the time… “Heidi was covered in coffee stains herself, and she was concerned about delaying Maggie’s upcoming performance.

“Don’t worry, it won’t take long, and I trust in your ability; a few minutes will hardly make a difference,” Maggie encouraged with a smile.

Heidi, moved by the reassurance, hurried to the bathroom to clean up.

After Heidi left, Maggie received a call from Lucas, “Maggie, Sierra’s assistant photographer tampered with your dress. They’ve cut in between the straps.”
